Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
1250 PM CDT Fri May 24 2019

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1053 AM CDT Fri May 24 2019

15z/10am surface analysis shows a warm front along the I-74
corridor. To the north of the front, cloud cover and easterly
winds have kept temperatures in the 60s. Meanwhile south of the
boundary, sunshine and southerly winds have already boosted
readings into the upper 70s and lower 80s. The front will lift
northward as the day progresses, with afternoon high temperatures
reaching the 80s across the entire KILX CWA. Current radar mosaic
continues to show clusters of thunderstorms from northeast
Missouri to southern Wisconsin. These cells are tracking
northeastward and will primarily impact locations northwest of the
Illinois River through midday. Once this activity passes to the
north, a lull in precip chances will occur early this afternoon
before additional cells develop along an old outflow boundary by
late afternoon. Given a highly unstable and moderately sheared
environment, some of these storms could become severe across the
Illinois River Valley from late afternoon into the evening. Have
included high chance PoPs across this area accordingly...with dry
weather anticipated further E/SE across the remainder of central
Illinois.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
ISSUED AT 325 AM CDT Fri May 24 2019
Weak frontal boundary draped across central IL this morning with
muggy air and dew points in the upper 50s and 60s in most
locations...around 70 in southeastern IL. That meandering warm
front should continue to surge northward today, as winds become
increasingly southwesterly by the afternoon. Showers and
thunderstorm chances will follow that boundary through the early
day. Series of disturbances moving through the region in deep
southwesterly flow aloft along and above a weak baroclinic zone
over the midsection of the country. Pops will remain through the
day for the mid Mississippi River Valley and into the overnight.
The higher QPF is off to the NW as Central IL is set up to be
mainly in the warm sector this afternoon. However, the storm
system/convection is modeled to sag to the southeast and into
Central IL overnight tonight as the low lifts out over the Plains
and into the Upper Midwest. Models have varied quite a bit in how
far to the south the stronger convection will get, given its
support is in that strong SWrly band between the western trough
and the eastern ridging over the CONUS. But given a broad swath of
instability in a warm and muggy airmass...much of Central IL is in
a Marginal/Slight risk for the overnight hours. Much of the severe
threat is contingent on many mesoscale features to the NW and the
evolution of afternoon convection outside of Central IL. Not
enough confidence in a high QPF forecast for ILX CWA to join in
the Flash Flood Watch to the NW that is deeper into a better set
up.

However, going into the weekend and a continued series of waves
bringing several rounds of showers and thunderstorms...that
decision may only be delayed.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
ISSUED AT 325 AM CDT Fri May 24 2019
Again..active weather pattern continues, with a deep trough over
the western half of the country, and a persistent ridging from the
Gulf Coast up the eastern seaboard. A series of waves move out of
the SW into the region bringing periodic showers and
thunderstorms. Eventually, flash flood guidance will start to
shrink due to continued precip, and given the recent rains in
general, it won't take long. There is a lot of model variation
with the details as the differences in how the convection and
mesoscale features change...in particular the meandering
boundaries impacted by outflow and MCS remnants. Deep
southwesterly flow continues, and temperatures through the weekend
remain above normal, although there will likely be some hit or
miss max/mins due to precip activity and cloud cover. With the
active pattern, the forecast through mid week is dominated by
precip. BEST chances continue in two places... the weekend, as
the next low ejects out of the SW and drags a front through the
region. Next likely pops show up Tuesday night as both the ECMWF
and the GFS try to clear the western trough and pull a major storm
system across the country's midsection.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon)
Issued at 1250 PM CDT Fri May 24 2019

A line of convection has developed across west-central Illinois
early this afternoon and is expected to track E/NE across the area
over the next couple of hours. Based on radar trends, it appears
the thunderstorms will remain north of the I-72 terminals. Have
included a TEMPO group for thunder at KPIA between 18z and 20z,
but have only mentioned VCTS at KBMI until radar trends become
better defined. Once this initial area of convection departs,
widely scattered cells may re-develop late this afternoon into the
early evening. After that, areal coverage may increase later
tonight into Saturday morning as low-level jet energy strengthens.

NONE.
