Severe Thunderstorm Warning 120, NWS Lincoln, IL

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
655 PM CDT Tue Jul 21 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 330 PM CDT Tue Jul 21 2020

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to be possible
each day this week. However, there will be plenty of dry hours
each day. Temperatures generally in the mid to upper 80s are
expected through Friday, then lower 90s return over the weekend
into early next week as hot and humid conditions prevail.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
ISSUED AT 330 PM CDT Tue Jul 21 2020

A stationary front positioned across central IL roughly from SW to
NE will be the focus for storm development the rest of the
afternoon and evening. An MCV exciting NE MO will enhance storm
development in an air mass that has recovered from earlier storms.
Several hours of sunshine have boosted MLCAPEs into the 2500-3500
J/kg range, especially south of I-72. A 72 mph wind gust was
measured upstream in Pittsfield, indicated the downburst potential
of this system. Have gone with Likely PoPs through the evening
across a majority of the CWA, as a consensus of the CAMs are
showing additional storm development early this evening just east
of the IL River. That complex should progress southeastward into
the overnight hours, lingering in our SE counties after midnight.

A lull in the storms is expected for the early morning hours over
a majority of the CWA. Storm development on Wed will be triggered
by the arrival of a cold front from the NW, with the front
reaching a line from Rushville to Champaign by 6 pm. Have
continued with an increasing chance PoP coverage Wed afternoon as
a result.

Lows tonight will be in the low 70s, with muggy dewpoint
depressions of zero to 2 degrees. Can not rule out some locally
dense fog if any clearing can manage to develop in areas that pick
up rain.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
ISSUED AT 330 PM CDT Tue Jul 21 2020

The cold front will continue to progress southward Wed night,
keeping storm chances going in the southern counties. The front
stalls on Thursday morning across our central CWA before
continuing southward. Therefore, high chance PoPs were
concentrated south of I-72 Thursday along and ahead of the front.

The front then returns north as a warm front on Friday, keeping a
threat of storms in our entire area. That FROPA will trigger a
warming trend that will result in high temps climbing into the
lower 90s this weekend. Heat index readings are projected to climb
near or just above 105F across central IL, which would trigger a
Heat Advisory if that forecast holds. Storm chances would be
suppressed by a capping layer aloft and subsident forcing under
high pressure. No obvious trigger for storms is expected until a
cold front arrive next week Tuesday.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday evening)
Issued at 655 PM CDT Tue Jul 21 2020

The bulk of the strong storms have generally progressed to the
east of the TAF sites. CMI is closest to the ongoing convection.
CAMs are pointing toward minor redevelopment of mainly showers
this evening across the southeast half of central Illinois.

Thunder potential will be present overnight, but confidence on
timing is quite low. Did include a tempo for possible storms in
DEC and CMI for later this eve, based on CAM coverage during that
time. Otherwise, spotty showers the rest of the evening should
taper off after midnight.

Forecast soundings are pointing toward stratus clouds lowering to
IFR at all terminal sites. While ceilings may prevail at low MVFR
later tonight, have included a couple hours of IFR clouds around
sunrise.

Ceilings should steadily improved Wednesday morning, with VFR
conditions becoming widespread by mid-day.

A cold frontal passage will trigger a wind shift from S-SE to the
West Wednesday sunrise. Prevailing wind speeds should remain
below 10kt.
