NMBWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Oct 24, 3:44 PM CDT, 2 hours 44 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 24, 3:44 PM CDT, 2 hours 44 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lincoln IL 344 PM CDT Sun Oct 24 2021 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 344 PM CDT Sun Oct 24 2021 Multiple severe weather hazards exist across central Illinois late this afternoon and evening...including the potential for flash flooding. Be sure to review your weather safety plan and stay situationally aware. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) ISSUED AT 344 PM CDT Sun Oct 24 2021 20z/3pm surface analysis shows a 997mb low over northwest Missouri with a warm front extending eastward along a Kirksville...to Taylorville...to Terre Haute line. Temperatures have surged well into the 70s south of the boundary, while readings hover in the 50s to the north. As expected, a couple bands of convection are developing within the warm sector of the system. The first extends from near Macomb southwestward to Columbia, Missouri...while the second is further west immediately along an advancing cold front across western Missouri. Given high degree of wind shear in the environment, all severe hazards will be possible as the storms track through the area late this afternoon and evening. Damaging wind gusts and large hail will be the primary threats: however, a couple embedded tornadoes may develop along the lines...especially this evening for locations along/south of I-72. Based on regional radar trends and latest HRRR, it appears the western line of convection will push across the I-57 corridor by around midnight...then into Indiana shortly afterwards. As the surface low lifts into north-central Illinois late tonight, showers will wrap back into the area and will linger through at least midday Monday before gradually tapering off and coming to an end from west to east during the afternoon. Main weather story on Monday will be the windy and colder conditions. After a brief warm-up this evening when the warm front lifts north of I-72, temps will crash late tonight and will remain in the lower to middle 50s on Monday. In addition, strong NW winds gusting 30-40mph will make it feel even chillier. && .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday) ISSUED AT 344 PM CDT Sun Oct 24 2021 High pressure will build into the region Monday night, resulting in clearing skies and diminishing winds. With low temperatures expected to drop into the middle 30s, think patchy frost is a good bet across the Illinois River Valley. Further east, think temps will remain a bit too warm in the upper 30s and lower 40s...and winds will remain too strong for frost formation. After a chilly start to the day, ample sunshine will warm readings into the upper 50s and lower 60s. After that, another frontal boundary will swing into the Midwest by the middle of the week. With the associated upper low cutting off from the main flow, this system will be slow to arrive and slow to depart. As a result, have delayed PoPs on Wednesday...and these may need to be further reduced or even removed entirely if trends continue. Have then gone with high PoPs Wednesday night through Friday before the system finally departs by next weekend. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon) Issued at 111 PM CDT Sun Oct 24 2021 IFR ceilings will prevail across central Illinois for the next couple of hours before a warm front pushes northward and improves ceilings later this afternoon/evening. Based on current placement of front and 12z NAM/HRRR data, it appears will rise to VFR at KSPI by 20z...then further NE to KDEC/KCMI by around 22z. KPIA will likely remain IFR/MVFR for the entire 18z TAF period. Radar imagery shows a relative lull in precip: however, a line of convection is beginning to take shape across western Missouri. These storms will continue to develop and track E/NE into central Illinois late this afternoon and evening. Will continue to feature VCTS at the terminals for now, but will likely upgrade to prevailing once radar trends are more apparent and exact timing becomes certain. One or two lines of storms will push through the area this evening before a cold front sweeps the convection into Indiana after midnight. Once the front passes, winds will veer to NW and MVFR ceilings will spill back across all of central Illinois overnight into Monday morning. Winds will also become strong/gusty behind the front, with numeric guidance and forecast soundings suggesting gusts in excess of 30kt on Monday. && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Flash Flood Watch through Monday morning for ILZ027>031-036>038- 040>048. Flood Watch through Monday morning for ILZ049>051-053. Flash Flood Watch through Monday morning for ILZ051. && SYNOPSIS...Barnes SHORT TERM...Barnes LONG TERM...Barnes AVIATION...Barnes
