Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
606 PM CDT Mon Aug 12 2019

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 233 PM CDT Mon Aug 12 2019

A strong storm system will push into the region this evening
bringing a good chance of damaging winds and possible large hail
and tornadoes. Dry weather will push into the area after the
storms and persist through much of the week.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday)
ISSUED AT 158 PM CDT Mon Aug 12 2019

The potential for severe weather continues to evolve this
afternoon as a warm front pushes northeast across Illinois.
Clearing behind this mornings rain has allowed temps to climb this
afternoon and with dew points in the mid-70s has allowed SBCAPE to
climb above 2000 J/kg across the southwestern half of Illinois.
Effective shear 40-45 kts is expected to coincide with the CAPE
ridge over southeast Iowa and northwest Illinois. CAMs are in
general agreement in developing convection in that area forced by
a weak wave currently in southwest Minnesota and northwest Iowa.
The significant shear suggests that storms may begin as scattered
supercells then evolve quickly into a QLCS and push southeast
along the warm front. One fly in the ointment is the precip still
falling over eastern Iowa which should keep the instability max
further south. Trends seem to indicate that the precip shield is
diminishing which should allow the instability to advect northward
into the genesis region. We are in the process of RAOB flight
which will hopefully narrow down the uncertainty.

Temps have climbed quickly in the partial clearing this afternoon
and dewpoints in the middle 70s have advected into the area
covered by the heat advisory. Although much of the advisory area
will remain below criteria will allow advisory to run to
expiration at 7 pm given the vulnerability at the IL State Fair.

The line of storms is expected to push quickly through the CWA
exiting the southeast around 06z. Drier air should advect into the
region in its wake. Will retain a slight chance of storms in the
far east for tomorrow given dewpoints still around 70.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday)
ISSUED AT 158 PM CDT Mon Aug 12 2019

A gradual transition to more meridional flow is forecasted by the
longer-range models. Developing ridging over the Rockies and
putting the area back into northwest flow. Although several waves
will be embedded in the flow during the week, deep moisture will
be somewhat lacking and will keep any PoPs low.

Temperatures will gradually warm with highs reaching back to
around 90 by Sunday with heat index reaching around 100.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening)
Issued at 606 PM CDT Mon Aug 12 2019

Main issue is thunderstorm timing and intensity this evening.
Strong storms with variable/gusty winds are possible through
04z-05z. After the line of storms pushes through, guidance is in
good agreement for IFR ceilings developing late tonight and
lingering into much of Tues morning. This cloud deck is expected
to break up towards midday. Aside from t-storms, winds should be
under 10 kts through the forecast.

.ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
Heat Advisory until 7 PM CDT this evening for ILZ047>051.
