Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
638 AM CDT Wed Mar 13 2019

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
ISSUED AT 337 AM CDT Wed Mar 13 2019
Rapidly deepening low in the High Plains this morning is the
driving force to the short term weather. Surface map this morning
has a high pressure ridge over the east coast, leaving much of the
Mississippi River Valley and the Midwest in southerly flow. The
southerly winds are keeping the warmer temperatures in the region,
and slowly increasing the moisture in the boundary layer as the
first round of precip moves across Central IL. The short term
models project a gap in the precip for a large part of mid day,
before bringing the next round this afternoon/evening with the
next front/trough rotating around the surface low moving into the
Plains. The deepening low and increasing pressure gradient will
result in a very windy day, with gusts increasing to the 35-40mph
range this afternoon. Higher winds above 850mb are less likely to
make it to the surface with the lack of deeper mixing anticipated
with the inversion/cloud cover. Also, guidance has dropped a
degree or two with the same reasoning. At this point, the guidance
is shy of wind advisory, so will go with an SPS and bump up some
of the messaging. Tonight will remain windy, with a bit of a dry
slot working into the region to give a break in the precip at
least for the west and central in the overnight hours.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday)
ISSUED AT 337 AM CDT Wed Mar 13 2019
Low is filling slowly as it moves into the mid Mississippi River
Valley tomorrow mid day/afternoon. With the bulk of the precip
moved into the east, and the IL/IN border, much of the day will
likely be dry, but some scattered precip cannot be ruled out. In
the east, a llvl jet associated with the low will provide some
upper support, if convection should form. The slight risk has
shifted east in the last run, leaving areas between I-57 and the
IN border in a marginal risk for day 2. The low level jet will be
more accessible with some deeper mixing anticipated, particularly
in the dry slot/partial clearing moving through Central IL later
tomorrow. A wind advisory is anticipated, with the potential for
an upgrade to warning possible. At this point, there has been some
oscillation in how much of that wind will actually translate to
the surface, and with collaboration will hold off on a watch. But
with winds to 50-55 kts at 700mb, and that low moving just to the
NW, another blustery day is expected tomorrow...with stronger
winds possible with any shower that could potentially translate
those winds down to the surface.

Beyond that system, high pressure builds into the Plains and
Midwest, keeping the forecast largely dry and just a couple
degrees below seasonal normals. A quick clipper like system drops
into northwesterly flow on Sunday, bringing the next chance of
precip in the midst of the extended.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning)
Issued at 617 AM CDT Wed Mar 13 2019

Rain continues to move through Central Illinois this morning, with
the first round of precip associated with an approaching deep low
pressure system. Radar trends and HRRR have been consistent with a
break later this morning through the early afternoon before
redeveloping with the next boundary. Brief pd of LLWS this
morning associated with winds just off the surface out of the SSW
at 40kts or so in models as well as the VAD wind profiler. Break
in precip this morning has clouds at many diff layers in various
models, generally a pd of VFR. Winds will climb this morning, and
by midday will gust in excess of 25kts...close to 30kts at times
out of the south/southeast. Tonight, llvl jet will result in a
quick climb to southerly winds in excess of 50-55kts quickly,
ranging from 03Z to 06Z and continuing through the morning.
Although the precip and cigs will be inconsistent, the winds will
be a major and continuing concern.

454 AM CDT Wed Mar 13 2019

Strong and gusty winds are expected tomorrow across the Midwest.
Winds look to be particularly strong in the vicinity of the I-57
corridor, where gusts in excess of 45 mph are possible. Most
areas southeast of the Illinois River in central Illinois should
see gusts reaching over 40 mph. In addition, showers and thunderstorms
will be possible late Thursday morning into Thursday afternoon
in eastern Illinois that could potentially bring even higher wind
gusts. Any higher wind gusts in thunderstorms could produce
damage to trees, siding, and roofs.

If you have travel plans in central or southeast Illinois
Thursday, be sure to monitor updated forecasts. Winds this strong
will cause difficult and possibly dangerous driving conditions
especially for high profile vehicles.
