Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
1119 AM CDT Wed Jul 15 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 1100 AM CDT Wed Jul 15 2020

Expect thunderstorms to gradually increase in activity from west
central Illinois into eastern Illinois through the afternoon hours
today. Some storms may be strong to severe, with damaging wind
gusts, hail, and a threat for an isolated tornado or two in the
region. Chances for showers and isolated thunderstorms continue
into the second half of the week. Temperatures will increase
toward the weekend.

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1119 AM CDT Wed Jul 15 2020

Updates made to precipitation amount for this afternoon as
additional rounds of thunderstorms affect west central IL through
the afternoon, while eastern IL likely sees a bit more limited
precipitation as a more progressive linear convective system
develops for late afternoon and evening sweeping through eastern
IL later in the day. Otherwise, developing severe thunderstorm
potential today as a surge of increased moisture pushes through
central IL and daytime heating and destabilization allow fuel a
couple of shortwave disturbances ahead of an approaching cold
front. Enhanced risk for severe thunderstorms continues from a
broad area around Springfield southward, while slight risk remains
from around Effingham to Havana north and eastward. Precipitation
amounts could be around 2 inches around the Illinois River Valley
south of Peoria, with locally greater amounts, while most of
central IL sees typical amounts around an inch to inch and a half.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
ISSUED AT 249 AM CDT Wed Jul 15 2020

A much different picture this morning, than from 24 hours ago.
Clouds are quickly increasing across the western Midwest,
expected to bring mostly cloudy skies to the region today. Early
morning radar shows two complexes that are worth mentioning. The
first complex is more linear across northern Missouri, associated
with the frontal boundary. This area is expected to continue
pushing eastward through the morning, however as it approaches the
western CWA, drier conditions should hold of any precip till
around 12z. A large precip shield is evident on mosaic radar, as
the 0.5-degree scan shows some precip beginning to show across
western IL, and even inching into the far western CWA. Mid and low
level moisture profiles are still very dry, as Td spreads are in
the 8-10 degree range. Expecting showers and storms to slowly
shift southeast, before being ingested into the MCS that is
tracking through Kansas currently. This is the main convective
system that will be of focus today across central and southern
Illinois.

This MCS will ride along the stalled out boundary from the upper
Low pressure system in southern Canada. With the track along and
south of the I-72 corridor, expecting storms to continue for a
majority of the afternoon and evening with this complex. SPC did
increase portions of the CWA into the Enhanced Risk category for
severe weather this afternoon and evening. This area is focused sw
of a Rushville-Lincoln-Effingham enclosure. With the frontal
boundary stalled out, and the complex tracking along this
boundary, expecting shear values to increase through the day.
Looking over hodographs this morning, there is indication for the
possibility of tornadoes this afternoon with supercell
development. However, this threat should be limited to the
afternoon as storms build and move east. As the evening arrives,
expecting the main concerns to shift into a damaging wind event,
with a more linear progression of cells. As with any of the
storms, the possibility of hail will occur, but this threat
appears lower than the others. WPC did mention with their morning
update about the chance for heavy rainfall. Models are hinting at
upwards of 2 inches of rain, especially along the boundary and to
the south...so southern Illinois. Some localized 3 inch values
could occur however those appear to be south of the ILX CWA.

As this system exits overnight, the weak cold front will dip
southeast of the CWA. This is expected to end rain chances
overnight into early Thursday morning. However, temps will remain
mild, as this is not a very dominate frontal passage.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday)
ISSUED AT 249 AM CDT Wed Jul 15 2020

Looking ahead to the rest of this week and
weekend...precipitation activity will continue each day
throughout much of the period. Although this should remain
isolated to maybe scattered in nature. High pressure situated
across the southern US will lift into the central latitudes
towards the weekend, lifting the excessive heat currently in the
desert sw. This will bring hot and humid conditions back to the
Midwest for the upcoming weekend, as temps peak in the 90s...with
morning lows being very mild in the mid 70s. With the hot humid
conditions, Td values will peak in the mid to upper 70s, bringing
heat index values into the 100-110 degree range. Current
indications for the weekend show a heat advisory may be needed
Saturday and Sunday.

The heat does not appear to let up anytime soon, as predictions
for well above average temperatures continues into the start of
next week...temps linger in the 90s.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning)
Issued at 622 AM CDT Wed Jul 15 2020

Active weather is expected across central Illinois later today.
This morning, VFR conditions and light south to southeast winds
will continue ahead of an approaching decaying complex of storms.
While a few showers may persist across central Illinois, expect
this initial round to fall apart. New thunderstorm development is
expected this afternoon and will eventually congeal into a line of
storms by this evening as they race east across the state. Storms
could be severe with damaging winds. As storms exit east, a period
of light and variable winds will trend towards the north or
northeast, while MVFR or IFR clouds set up over the region
overnight.
