Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
411 AM CST Thu Jan 9 2020

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 410 AM CST Thu Jan 9 2020

Warmer weather is on tap for today as high temperatures soar into
the lower to middle 50s. South winds are also expected to become
quite gusty with speeds as high as 40 to 45 mph possible late this
morning through this afternoon. A few light showers may develop
this afternoon...with better chances for widespread rain holding
off until tonight. A series of storm systems are then expected to eject
northeast across the area through Saturday evening, likely
bringing 2 to 4 inches of rain to central and southeast Illinois.
This will be followed by a wintry mix with accumulating snowfall
across areas, mainly northwest of the Illinois river late Friday
night through Saturday night.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
ISSUED AT 410 AM CST Thu Jan 9 2020

A developing weather system will spread light precip across the
area this afternoon and into tonight. As this occurs, gusty south
winds are also expected to develop with gusts as high as 40-45
mph. Therefore have will be issuing a wind advisory for areas
north of a Rushville to Paris line for late this morning through
this afternoon. Winds will then subside this evening. Strong warm
air advection will occur and temps should quickly rise into the
lower to middle 50s across most of the area. Clouds will also be
on the increase as precip moves into the area, mainly this
afternoon with some scattered showers. However, this evening, rain
will become very widespread with isolated thunderstorms across the
central and southern parts of the CWA.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)
ISSUED AT 410 AM CST Thu Jan 9 2020

The first wave associated with the weather system will be leaving
the area Friday, but the boundary will remain in place and be the
setup/focus for the next wave moving up the boundary during the
afternoon and Fri night. Lots of rain is expected with this second
wave and will occur across the middle of the CWA. In addition, the
chance of thunderstorms will increase across the southeastern
parts with isolated storms spreading north across the remainder of
the CWA. Rain and isolated storms will continue into Saturday as
the third/final wave moves across the middle Miss Valley. Heavy
rain will continue across the area through the period with total
rainfall of 2-4 inches possible across most of the area. Therefore
the Flood Watch will continue and has been expanded northward
some and now extends through 3pm on Saturday. Late Sat night,
colder air will begin to move into the area from the northwest as
the final wave continues to lift to the north-northeast toward
Mich. Due to the strong warm air getting wrapped around the
system, some of the precip will become mixed with freezing rain
and/or sleet in the transition area on the back side. This will
occur mainly in the north and northwest parts of the CWA. As the
air becomes sufficiently colder all the precip will be snow
especially Sat afternoon and evening. Most of the accumulating
snow will be along and northwest of I-55, with the highest
totals...over 4 inches being along and northwest of the IL river.
A winter storm watch will likely be needed/issued for this
snowfall event, but model agreement needs to continue for one more
run for higher confidence on amounts and locations of heaviest
snowfall, before issuance. Would not be surprised to see watch
issued this afternoon or later tonight.

Dry weather is then expected Sunday through Monday, but with
pattern remaining somewhat zonal, temps do are not expected to
drop but seeing 40s and 50s return by Monday.

Several other weather systems are possible the rest of the week
with chances of rain and/or snow. Temps will remain in the 40s
and 50s Tue and Wed as well.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday night)
Issued at 1142 PM CST Wed Jan 8 2020

Main aviation forecast concern will be the development of a
powerful low-level jet streak overnight into Thursday. 00z NAM
shows S/SW 925mb winds increasing to 50-60kt across the Illinois
River Valley shortly after midnight, then gradually spreading
eastward across the remainder of the area overnight. Surface winds
will initially be E/SE at 10-15kt, then will increase to 15-20kt
as the night progresses. The winds will veer to the south by
morning, with gusts approaching or exceeding 30kt through the
afternoon. Despite the marked increase of surface winds, the jet
is progged to remain near 60kt through early afternoon. As a
result, have included low-level wind shear at all terminals
through Thursday afternoon. In addition to the winds, ceilings
will gradually lower...with forecast soundings suggesting MVFR
developing at all terminals between 20z and 00z. Isolated showers
will be possible during the afternoon, then will become more
widespread by mid to late evening.
