Area forecast discussion, Jun 16, 12:49 AM CDT, 2 hours before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lincoln IL 1249 AM CDT Sun Jun 16 2019 .UPDATE... Issued at 853 PM CDT Sat Jun 15 2019 Next round of severe weather is quickly approaching the northwest CWA, as a QLCS moves through northwest Illinois and down into northern Missouri. Severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for areas near/northwest of the Illinois River. PoP's have been updated to reflect the latest timing of this system; the eastern CWA will see a couple more hours of dry weather, before the line arrives. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday) ISSUED AT 310 PM CDT Sat Jun 15 2019 An active short term forecast period is in store for much of central and southeast IL for the next 24-36 hours. First of all, a Tornado Watch is in effect along and east of I-57 - but south of Champaign/Vermilion counties - into mid-evening. An MCV, from early morning convection across MO, has shifted into central IL in Christian/Shelby counties. This feature is expected to enhance severe thunderstorm potential in eastern IL into early evening. A convergent low level wind flow and increasing instability near a boundary just south of I-70 will provide the focus for convection as it slowly lifts northward. Effective shear parameters in this same area will provide the potential for a few supercells into early evening. In addition, convective clusters from southern MN into central IA are expected to form into an MCS this evening, and move toward the IL River Valley from late evening through midnight. The heaviest rainfall this evening into early Sunday morning is expected to be south of a Beardstown-Lincoln-Danville line, where another inch or so of rain is anticipated. Much of this area has already had 1 to 3 inches of rain since last night, so the Flash Flood Watch will continue through 7 am Sunday. Most of the shorter range models indicate that we may see a brief break in the rain Sunday morning as a front/outflow from the MCS pushes down toward I-70. However, various waves moving along this boundary in a moderate westerly upper level flow will cause the front to waver across central IL Sunday afternoon-evening, resulting in yet another round of showers and t-storms. .LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday) ISSUED AT 310 PM CDT Sat Jun 15 2019 The story of the wavering frontal boundary looks like it will continue through much of the upcoming week. The medium range models may have their differences in exact timing of various systems during the upcoming week, but one of the things they have in common is the continuation of a nearly zonal flow. This will keep a frontal boundary either in or very close to central/se IL, which will provide the focus for daily chances of showers and thunderstorms in most areas. The exceptions will be along the IL River valley and toward the I-55 corridor Tuesday/Tuesday night, and then again later on Thursday when we may see a brief respite from the rainfall. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday night) Issued at 1255 AM CDT Sun Jun 16 2019 A band of showers and thunderstorms currently focused along I-72 will produce IFR to MVFR conditions next 1-2 hours before diminishing. Also having WNW winds 15-20 kts with gusts of 25-35 kts with stronger thunderstorms. Northern TAF sites of PIA and BMI will see light rain showers diminish next few hours, though IFR to low end MVFR ceilings will be possible overnight into mid morning Sunday over central IL in wake of MCS activity. A frontal boundary will sag southward over central IL Sunday afternoon and drift south of I-72 by sunset Sunday evening. This may produce a band of convection Sunday afternoon and early Sunday evening especially along I-72. WSW winds of 5-10 kts prevail thru Sunday afternoon, then veer NE during Sunday evening. && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Flash Flood Watch until 7 AM CDT this morning for ILZ041>057- 061>063-066>068. && UPDATE...Geelhart SHORT TERM...Miller LONG TERM...Miller AVIATION...07
