What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this winter weather advisory 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 winter weather advisory went out at Jan 1, 5:25 PM CST, 36 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 1, 5:25 PM CST, 36 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
525 PM CST Fri Jan 1 2021

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 346 PM CST Fri Jan 1 2021

After significant icing this morning and early afternoon, another
round of rainfall is beginning to shift back into west central
Illinois late this afternoon. With sunset approaching and
temperatures expected to drop, additional light icing could occur
as well as surface refreeze. Therefore the Ice Storm Warning will
continue for locations northwest of the I-55 corridor. Also along
this coverage area, light snowfall is expected this evening and
early overnight as the back edge of the Low pressure system swing
through the Midwest. Another chance for mixed precipitation slides
through the Ohio River Valley Saturday night, bringing additional
chances for snowfall throughout the southern half of Illinois.
High pressure then returns to start next week, with dry
conditions.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday)
ISSUED AT 346 PM CST Fri Jan 1 2021

Another day with messy conditions throughout central and southeast
Illinois, as well as the Midwest. Reports today of upwards of 0.40
inches of icing came into the office. A dry slot slid into the
region as the Low pressure system picked up drier air and filter
that through the Ohio River Valley. This allowed for a break in
precipitation, leading to lowered ice amounts throughout the
Midwest. However with the Low pressure core beginning to shift
into southern Illinois, another round of precipitation is moving
across western Illinois, entering central Illinois currently. As
this tracks into the area this evening, and sunset occurring, this
will bring the possibility of additional light icing through the
evening. With this additional chance, continued the Ice Storm
Warning to cover the chance. Accumulations are expected to be less
than 0.05 inches, as the mid level begins to cool, turning precip
over to snowfall. The accumulations are possible due to ground
temps still near or below freezing, as indicated by frost depths
throughout the region of 4 inches or greater.

As the Low track through southern Illinois this evening, colder
temperatures will filter into the region. This is expected to
change all precip over the snowfall through the evening, with
accumulating snowfall expected northwest of the Illinois River
Valley. Light snow amounts are forecast from the Illinois River
Valley through the I-55 corridor, with the possibility of a
dusting through the I-57 corridor tonight.

This system finally exits the region overnight, however the upper
level pattern really does not change as another Low pressure
system tracks through the Ohio River Valley late Saturday.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Friday)
ISSUED AT 346 PM CST Fri Jan 1 2021

With another system tracking through the Ohio River Valley
Saturday night into Sunday, this will bring yet another chance for
precip across the Midwest. As the upper trof finally begins
lifting back northward, as High pressure off the Caribbean tries
to flex muscle, this tracks the sfc system through the se US. The
portion that will track through the Ohio Valley will be associated
with the upper Low, in which leftover moisture will be the culprit
for additional precip through the night. A mix of snow and rain
will be possible, as colder air lingers on the nw side of the Low
while warmer air is pulled from the east coast into the leading
edge of this Low. This weak system is expected to leave behind
upwards of 1.5-2.0 inches in some locations while many places will
see less than 1.5 inches.

Behind the exit of this system, High pressure finally works itself
into the Midwest to start the new work week. The upper level
pattern indicates the chance of another system dropping through
the northern Plains Monday, with the southern flank sliding
through central Illinois Tuesday. Current model trajectory does
not support enough moisture to develop precipitation across the
area, until the system is into the Ohio Valley. If this holds,
then dry weather persists across the area through the first half
of the week.

Another digging trof pattern develops mid-week, as another strong
Low pressure system dives through the central Plains heading into
Thursday. This sets up another sfc Low pressure system across the
region during the latter portion of the week. This Low pressure
system almost stalls out across the region, as too much upper
level waves disrupt the flow movement to end the week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Saturday evening)
Issued at 525 PM CST Fri Jan 1 2021

Surface low showing up nicely in radar and satellite imagery in
central Illinois, resulting in winds trending toward the
northwest. Areas near KBMI-KDEC east will see this switch occur
over the next couple hours, though speeds remain close to 10 knots
through the night.

Steady switch to snow has occurred across central Illinois as of
23Z, with light rain and sleet mixture near KDEC/KCMI. While
amounts are not expected to be high, the heavier snow rates and
lower visibility will be through about 02-03Z. However, LIFR
ceilings will persist much of the forecast period.
