Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
618 AM CDT Tue Aug 20 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 300 AM CDT Tue Aug 20 2019

Strong to severe thunderstorms will quickly move across central
and southeast Illinois this morning and early afternoon, bringing
the potential for damaging winds. As a cold front comes through
the area on Wednesday, expect another round of showers and
thunderstorms, although the severe weather threat will be much
lower. This front will be slow to exit the area, so the rain will
linger into Thursday in many areas.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
ISSUED AT 300 AM CDT Tue Aug 20 2019

Main focus for this forecast will be with the severe weather
potential for later this morning.

2 am radar and satellite imagery showing rapid development of
thunderstorms over the northwest quarter of Iowa, the start of an
MCS which has been suggested for the last few model cycles. This
seemed to be handled best by the 00Z runs of the HRRR and NMM-B
models. Using their timing, the squall line is expected to move
into the Galesburg area toward 8-9 am, reaching I-55 around 10-11
am, and southeast Illinois shortly after midday. Latest SPC Day1
outlook maintained the enhanced risk over most of the CWA except
east of I-57, with the greatest threat of significant wind damage
from about Havana northwest. A general weakening trend is expected
as the storms get further through the middle of the state, as the
cold pool pushes further ahead of the line.

Question after the storms will be how much the air mass recovers
this afternoon. Think it will probably be mid to late afternoon
before any significant clearing takes place. Forecast highs in the
mid 80s may be a bit optimistic, and will need to watch this
closely for the late morning update.

Next MCS expected to slide out of the central Plains late tonight.
Have added some 20-30% PoP's over the southwest CWA for very late
tonight, though a later arrival in our area appears more likely.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday)
ISSUED AT 300 AM CDT Tue Aug 20 2019

Strong upper trough associated with the low over western Quebec
will swing southward Wednesday night and Thursday. Tail end of
Wednesday's front is expected to hang up in the general vicinity
Wednesday night and Thursday, with the GFS being the most
progressive of the longer range models. Went with more of a slower
solution with the MCS, with healthy PoP's continuing near and
south of I-72 into Thursday night. However, latest models are
showing more of a southward push occurring by Friday evening.

With high pressure dominating the Great Lakes region this weekend,
the east/northeast flow is expected to keep our region dry. Think
the primary rain chances will hold off until Monday, as a cold
front swings across the northern Plains where the storm track will
be focused. Longer range models would suggest a delay until Monday
night, though this will be monitored for consistency in the next
model run.

Pleasant temperatures are expected behind Wednesday's front, with
highs generally in the upper 70s to around 80 and lows upper
50s/lower 60s into the weekend.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday morning)
Issued at 618 AM CDT Tue Aug 20 2019

High cirrus will overspread the area ahead of a line of severe
wind storms approaching from Iowa. MVFR to IFR vis and ceilings
are likely during the thunderstorms. Winds will likely gust to
40 mph in a large portion of the area, with 50-60 mph winds in
a few areas. Rough timing the arrival looks to be 14z at PIA, 15z
at BMI & SPI, 16z at DEC, and 17z at CMI. VFR conditions will
return once the precip moves out of the area. Winds will switch
to southerly ahead of the storm system. Winds will veer southwest
after system goes through and then become light and variable
tonight.
