Area forecast discussion, Jun 30, 6:57 PM CDT, 1 hour 35 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lincoln IL 657 PM CDT Sun Jun 30 2019 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) ISSUED AT 415 PM CDT Sun Jun 30 2019 An MCS over the northeast half of IL into western IN has a line of strong to severe thunderstorms along and ne of a Kewanee to Peoria to Bloomington to Robinson line, and tracking SSE with its outflow boundary pushing sw of I-74 with northerly wind gusts of 40-60 mph. A new severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 9 pm cdt for the rest of east central and southeast CWA. Convection will likely affect areas along and east of highway 51 through sunset along with the risk of severe storms with damaging winds, locally heavy rains and possible hail. WPC has slight chance of excessive rainfall into this evening over ne CWA especially over east central counties of Champaign, Vermilion, Douglas and Edgar. Precipitable water values range from 1.3 inches over far west central IL to 1.7-1.9 inches in east central and ne IL. Yet another area of convection with a 2nd developing MCS was over the upper MS river valley into central/western WI, se MN and ne Iowa and tracking se. This could bring more chances of convection to areas mainly ne of I-74 later tonight into early Mon morning. Muggy lows overnight in the lower 70s. The best convection chances generally shift ne of CWA by late Monday morning and Mon afternoon though can not rule out an isolated thunderstorms from mid afternoon Mon into early Mon evening near the IN border where CAP/CIN is weaker. Another hot and humid day Mon with highs in the lower 90s. Heat indices to once again peak from 97 to 105F similar to today with dewpoints in the low to mid 70s. May eventually need a heat advisory due to duration of heat indices peaking from 100-105F. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday) ISSUED AT 415 PM CDT Sun Jun 30 2019 Generally have dry conditions Monday night though isolated thunderstorms possible until dusk near the IN border. SPC day2 outlook keeps marginal risk over ne IL, ne of a LaSalle-Peru to Dwight to Watseka line Mon afternoon and Mon evening. Think GFS may be overdoing the qpf over portions of CWA Mon and Mon night. The upper level ridge is weakening some on Tuesday allowing isolated thunderstorms to develop over CWA especially Tue afternoon into Tue evening in unstable tropical airmass. Highs Tue of 89-93F with afternoon heat indices in the upper 90s to around 100F with pockets of heat indices reaching 100-105 from Lincoln south. The 12Z model continue to show a flattening upper level ridge over the Midwest during mid and late week and into the weekend, allowing more disturbances to bring periodic chances of showers and thunderstorms to the area as the unstable tropical airmass lingers much of this week. Very warm and humid weather continues with highs in the upper 80s to around 90F Wed thru Fri and a bit cooler for the weekend with highs in the mid to upper 80s Sat and low to mid 80s Sunday. Heat indices peak in the mid to upper 90s from Wed thru Fri, and in southeast IL on Saturday and trending downward a bit during the weekend. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening) Issued at 655 PM CDT Sun Jun 30 2019 One MCS with its back edge of convection was still affect DEC and CMI early this morning and should diminish in next hour. A 2nd MCS with a line of strong to severe thunderstorms was moving se at 45 mph into nw IL near the Quad Cities. CAMs generally show this convection moving SSE into the IL river valley from 02-05Z and weakening/breaking up as it moves into a worked over environment with much lower CAPEs/instability over central IL after passage of 1st MCS now in southeast IL and sw IN. This convection and may affect PIA and possible BMI too for a few hours later this evening. Otherwise patchy fog may form over eastern IL from 08-14Z with possible MVFR vsbys especially at CMI and DEC which received rainfall today. East to SE winds of 8-15 kts and gusts of 18-24 kts se of the IL river early this evening, expected to diminish under 10 kts in next few hours. SW to WSW winds 5-10 kts expected on Monday, while any additional convection should stay northeast of central IL airports where better forcing and weaker CAP will be. && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
