07What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Lincoln, IL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at May 17, 11:04 AM CDT, 33 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 17, 11:04 AM CDT, 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lincoln IL 1104 AM CDT Sun May 17 2020 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 257 AM CDT Sun May 17 2020 Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be common across central and southeast Illinois today. Locally heavy rainfall is possible, along with the potential for severe thunderstorms this afternoon and early evening, highest east of I-55. A cold front will push across the area this afternoon and evening, ending the thunderstorms. Rain chances will linger through the start of the work week, as an upper level low pressure system lingers over the area. && .UPDATE... Issued at 1104 AM CDT Sun May 17 2020 Updated the forecast to modify the PoP and Weather grids for today and tonight based on current conditions and short range model/CAM trends. Two main areas of focus for today - flash flooding and severe storms. Many ingredients are coming together for additional heavy rain and flash flooding between the IL River Valley and along and just east of I-57. Rich low level moisture transport with an increasing low level jet, an advancing cold front just pushing into west central IL at 15z, and an expected increase in upper level divergence as a coupled upper level jet approaches during the afternoon/early evening. In addition, low flash flood guidance due to heavy rain the past few days will result in the likelihood of flash flooding in parts of central Illinois into early evening. A Flash Flood Watch is in already in effect for these areas, so no changes are expected at this time. Regarding the severe potential, all of the aforementioned ingredients, along with increasing wind shear could also contribute to strong/severe storms in central and eastern IL this afternoon into early evening. A limiting factor will be instability. However, the latest water vapor and visible satellite loops show an area of low level dry air/clearing just pushing into extreme southern IL could provide just enough clearing to result in a bit of heating and instability increase in east central IL by mid-afternoon. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) ISSUED AT 257 AM CDT Sun May 17 2020 Latest surface analysis placed double-barrel low pressure to our west, one centered in NW IA and another over NE TX. A warm frontal feature extended southeast from the NW IA low into the northern CWA. This front delineated mid 50s dew points to the north, from mid 60s dew points farther south. Aloft, water vapor imagery and UA analysis showed dual closed lows spinning over northern and southern Plains. A large area of 1.5-1.7" PW airmass extended from the lower Mississippi Valley north into central IL. Forecast concerns today are two-fold, with heavy rain and severe threat. Will continue Flash Flood Watch into early evening for all but the far northwest and southeast CWA, as most of the area remains primed for locally heavy rainfall. This is a result of the high PW airmass, large scale ascent ahead of the upper low, and more focused lift ahead of embedded shortwaves in southwest mid level flow. This will provide for rounds of locally heavy rainfall in training thunderstorms through this morning. As we head towards midday a strong cold front will begin pushing into the western CWA, while surface low pressure slowly deepens towards northern IL. If we can get some breaks in north to south oriented rain bands ahead of the front, should develop enough instability to support a band of low- topped strong to severe storms. While deep layer shear is not overly impressive, strong 0-1 km shear would promote potential for rotating supercells within the line. Low LCLs would also favor a tornado potential, and SPC has increased TOR probs to 5% and severe risk to slight over the eastern 2/3 of the CWA. 00z guidance and latest CAMs have continued to slow the front, so have backed conditional severe threat west towards the IL River Valley at 18z, shifting east with the front into far eastern IL towards 00z. Heavy rain and flash flooding will also be possible with these storms. After the front clears eastern IL during the evening, thunderstorm chances end. Overnight the upper low begins to move into western IL. Scattered showers may be possible, but forecast soundings have more of a drizzly look with drying in the mid levels and a saturated airmass below 1 km. .LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday) ISSUED AT 257 AM CDT Sun May 17 2020 The forecast for much of the upcoming work week will hinge on the slow movement of the closed 500 mb low. This will remain cutoff from the main upper flow pattern across the U.S., likely resulting in only a slow southeast drift through late week. 00z guidance suggest the low will reach southern IL by 12z Tue, then linger around the Ohio/Tennessee Valley area through Friday. Given this setup, mostly cloudy skies and scattered primarily afternoon showers will be possible Monday and Tuesday. Temperatures will likely be a few degrees below normal through Tuesday, before moderating mid to late week as the low fills and and an upper ridge begins to lean east from the Plains. If the ridge can make it this far east by Friday and Saturday as currently advertised, above normal temperatures could be reached. Mainly dry weather is expected through the end of the week. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Monday morning) Issued at 703 AM CDT Sun May 17 2020 Band of showers and isolated storms was moving over SPI and headed toward PIA and BMI this morning, while DEC and CMI were VFR with light showers. BMI was LIFR while PIA was IFR to start. Both will remain this way until the storms develop and arrive early this afternoon. Storms should develop east of PIA, but will keep VCTS at this site for couple of hours early afternoon. Then VCSH with VFR cigs through the evening. All TAF sites will experience similar conditions through the day, but will have TEMPO groups at BMI, SPI, DEC, CMI for 2hr period when think best chance for thunder on station. Otherwise, VFR during evening hours then dropping back to MVFR and then IFR overnight. Winds will be southeast to south today and then become southwest as the front approaches and then westerly once it passes. Some gusty winds are possible at DEC, BMI, and CMI during the afternoon as well. && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Flash Flood Watch until 7 PM CDT this evening for ILZ029>031-037- 038-041>050-052>055-061.
