Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
920 PM CDT Fri Sep 27 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 549 PM CDT Fri Sep 27 2019

An approaching cold front from the northwest will result in
thunderstorms this evening and tonight. Some of the storms this
evening may be severe in parts of west central Illinois, and may
also produce additional rounds of heavy rainfall. The front will
stall in central Illinois Saturday morning, which will result in
scattered showers and a few thunderstorms on and off during the
day Saturday. Highs on Saturday will range from near 70 degrees in
west central Illinois to around 90 in southeast Illinois.

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 920 PM CDT Fri Sep 27 2019

Quick update to short range portion of the forecast for convective
trends, temperatures and winds.

Severe thunderstorms have become more linear in the past hour or
so and with the outflow surging out ahead of these storms the
overall tornado threat has waned in many areas. However, with what
appears to be a low pressure area in NE MO/SW IA shifting
eastward, can not completely discount the threat of strong/severe
storms from north of Quincy toward Rushville and Mason County the
next couple of hours.

Main concern in the remainder of the evening into the overnight
hours will continue to be heavy rain and flash flooding -
especially from Rushville to Bloomington and locations to the
northwest. The main cold front is associated with the broken line
of storms from northern MO toward Galesburg to Princeton. The
front will slow down by early morning before it reaches the I-72
corridor. Thus, periods of showers and thunderstorms will continue
to impact the area under the Flash Flood Watch in central IL
overnight.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday)
ISSUED AT 549 PM CDT Fri Sep 27 2019

Strong low level wind fields which resulted in excessive amounts
of rain from Peoria to Pontiac will continue through the evening
hours. The outflows from the convection that dumped this heavy
rain have formed an effective mesoscale boundary from about Macomb
to Bloomington to Danville. Hot and humid air in central IL to the
south of this boundary will provide plenty of moisture convergence
for another round of thunderstorms this evening in central IL.
Some of these storms may be severe due to the strong convergence
and low level wind shear...resulting in a Tornado Watch north of a
Beardstown-Lincoln-Clinton line this evening.

This same area can also expect periods of additional heavy
rainfall this evening so a Flash Flood Watch has been expanded to
include locations from Jacksonville to Bloomington and westward.

An approaching cold front in central IA will move into central IL
after midnight and then come to a screeching halt, before it
slowly starts lifting northward. This will keep scattered showers
and a few thunderstorms in the forecast for central IL on
Saturday. Due to the aforementioned boundary, highs on Saturday
will range from near 70 from PIA-GBG, 75 to 80 in the rest of
central il, to near 90 in southeast IL.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday)
ISSUED AT 549 PM CDT Fri Sep 27 2019

...PREVIOUS LONG TERM DISCUSSION...Models are in good agreement
that the front will stall across central IL on Saturday. There is
little in the way of mid/upper level support, but with weak low
level convergence, have low chance pops over the northwest half of
the area (along and north of the front). The front will provide a
sharp temperature gradient, with northeast flow behind the front
limiting highs to the lower 70s over the northern third, while
southwest flow south of the boundary pushes the southeast CWA into
the upper 80s/near 90.

Shower/storm chances linger, again mainly in the west/northwest
half of the area Saturday night into early Sunday. By Sunday
afternoon the front should get a good push north, resulting from
cyclogenesis in the Plains. This sends the convection farther
northwest out of the CWA for late weekend, and also spreads the
summer-like heat and humidity from southern IL back north across
central IL.

Monday through Tuesday, a digging western US trough allows a
strong sub-tropical ridge to our south to expand north. This
shunts the storm track even farther northwest, with dry, but
unseasonably hot and humid air overspreading the region. 850 mb
temps near +20C will support highs in the mid 80s to lower 90s, or
10-20 degrees above normal.

Medium range models are in fair agreement that the ridge breaks
down mid-week. The active frontal zone eventually works in from
the northwest late Tuesday night through Wednesday night, with a
good chance for storms and locally heavy rain given anomalously
high Pwats. NBM brings mid-upper 60s highs on Thursday for the
north half, but confidence on the degree of cool air push behind
the front is low due to poor model consistency.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening)
Issued at 549 PM CDT Fri Sep 27 2019

A slow moving frontal boundary will be the focus for showers and
thunderstorms late this evening and overnight. Storms have already
formed along the front from northern Missouri into northeast
Illinois and this broken line of storms should expand in coverage
and sag south this evening. PIA and BMI have the greatest chance
for seeing several hours of thunderstorms over or in the vicinity
of the terminals, while the threat is less certain farther south
at the remaining central Illinois terminals. In addition to the
threat for storms, very strong SW winds will ramp up this evening
immediately ahead of the front resulting in LLWS at all of the
terminals. Ceilings will diminish to low MVFR or IFR as the front
pushes across the terminals, with the worst conditions again most
likely at PIA and BMI with the threat less certain farther south.
Winds may become variable overnight as storms disrupt the synoptic
flow, but should become northeast at some point late morning or
early afternoon Saturday.
