Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
621 PM CDT Wed Apr 8 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 221 PM CDT Wed Apr 8 2020

A strong cold front will cross the area late this afternoon and
evening, bringing a good chance for thunderstorms. Severe storms
are possible, with very large hail and damaging wind gusts being
the primary threats. Windy and much colder air will follow the
frontal passage, for Thursday. Spotty rain showers will also be
possible on Thursday.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)
ISSUED AT 221 PM CDT Wed Apr 8 2020

Main concern is potential of severe storms late this afternoon and
evening. A low pressure system is projected to slide east across
northern Illinois, with a cold front rotating around to the south
of the low with increasing speed this evening.

Deep layer moisture is lacking with the expected line of storms,
similar to yesterday. However, we are not expecting a cap to
limit the updraft initiation. And the leading edge of this cold
air mass will be steep, enhancing the initial push from ground
level. An inverted-V sounding in the lowest 200-300 mb is
pointing toward increased risk of damaging downburst winds.
Instability is a bit lower than yesterday, with MLCAPEs of
1000-1500 J/kg, but 0-6km bulk shear of 60-75 KT will help support
severe storm development. Sounding analysis shows strong omega in
the cloud bearing layer and above, so once the storms start
developing, updrafts will reach the equilibrium level quickly.
Freezing level on the 18z KILX special sounding showed up at 9.4K
FT, which supports large hail as well.

The line progression looks to reach our NW counties from Knox to
Schuyler between 3-4 pm, advancing quickly to the E-SE across
central and SE Illinois. An approximate departure from our SE
counties is timed in the high resolution models between 8-9 pm.

A blast of NW winds will follow the front this evening, with 20-30
mph winds for a few hours. Winds will diminish after midnight
before ramping back up Thursday morning. NW winds will approach
Wind Advisory criteria Thursday afternoon (sustained 30 mph, and/or
frequent gusts of 45-57 mph).

Steep low level lapse rates and the passage of a 500mb tough axis
will support cloud development during the heat of the day, with
scattered rain showers Thursday afternoon. Better chances of rain
showers will be north of I-72/74-Danville. Enough cold air aloft
could trigger a few snow showers in northern Illinois, but did not
introduce any snow into our forecast at this point.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday)
ISSUED AT 221 PM CDT Wed Apr 8 2020

Northwest winds will diminish Thursday evening, but remain 10-20
mph through the night. A chilly night is expected, with freezing
temps forecast for nearly all of our CWA, except for along Highway
50 between Flora and Lawrenceville. The lows in that area should
remain just above freezing. The sustained winds will reduce the
chances of frost formation, but freezing temperatures would still
cause damage to any sensitive budding vegetation where the
growing season has started in portions of southeast Illinois.

Friday will see sunny skies and continued chilly conditions, as a
surface ridge center progresses south through the Plains. We will
remain on the colder NE quadrant of that low, with highs in the
upper 40s to low 50s.

Upper level ridging on Saturday will start a warming trend for a
couple days. However, rain chances will increase on Saturday as
well, due to a warm frontal circulation developing across Illinois
from low pressure developing in the western Plains. Rain chances
will continue on Sunday as that low progresses toward southern
Illinois, eventually passing to our east Sunday night. A few
rumbles of thunder could develop Sunday afternoon and evening,
depending on the position of the warm front and track of the low.

Even colder air will settle into the area following that system,
with lows Monday night through Wednesday night below freezing in
our entire CWA. A few northern locations could even see lows in
the mid 20s.

While individual shortwaves are tough to time at this point,
scattered rain showers and even spotty snow showers will be
possible in the Monday night through Tuesday night time frame.
Precip should end by Wednesday morning, as much below normal
temperatures continue through Wednesday afternoon.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Thursday evening)
Issued at 615 PM CDT Wed Apr 8 2020

Line of strong to severe continues to move across central IL
terminals. Strong winds persist behind the line with north winds
gusting to near 40 kts.
