Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
919 PM CDT Mon Aug 1 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 246 PM CDT Mon Aug 1 2022

Summertime heat and humidity will persist over the next week, with
the hottest day of the period coming on Wednesday when afternoon
temperatures reach into the mid 90s and heat index values surge
into the triple digits. This heat and humidity will be
accompanied by near daily chances for showers and thunderstorms,
some of which may be strong-to-severe.

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 849 PM CDT Mon Aug 1 2022

A back-building MCS will continue to fester across SE Illinois
over the next couple of hours. The thinking is that coverage and
rainfall intensity will wane over the next 1-2 hours as
instability diminishes with the loss of daytime heating. Even as a
modest LLJ continues to feed into a well developed cold pool,
thunderstorms should become a little less organized as the main
belt of westerlies moves SE of the region helping to decrease
deep-layer shear. An additional inch of rainfall could occur late
this evening south of I-70 where back-building may occur, and this
will not play well with locations that have already received
between 2-6" (localized 8"). While ARIs and other MRMS FLASH
metrics suggest this has been a significant QPF event, little
impacts have been noted to this point.

CAM guidance continues to exhibit strong run-to-run variability,
especially with additional nocturnal convection that may develop
across NE and IA overnight. With the surface boundary expected to
begin lifting northward over the next 6 hours, portions of west
central IL could be in the crosshair for another MCS into the
early morning hours of Tuesday. Current upstream satellite and
Radar trends do show convection spawning across northeast NE, and
we don't see what would stop this activity from riding the theta-e
gradient all the way down into our area. If it does, isolated
strong-to-severe storms and brief heavy rainfall will accompany
it, though a stable near-sfc layer may mitigate widespread issues.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday)
ISSUED AT 246 PM CDT Mon Aug 1 2022

A frontal boundary, currently extending from Jacksonville-to-
Robinson, will provide the focus for thunderstorms this evening
across portions of south central Illinois. Some of these storms
may become severe given the current parameter space. The latest
19z RAP analysis depicts MLCAPE values exceeding 4500 J/k along
and ahead of the front with deep-layer shear around 40 kts.
Modeled soundings reveal an uncapped environment ahead of the
front, while hodographs reveal a long straight wind profile. This
points to a few organized multi-cells capable of producing
damaging wind and hail. The tornado threat is low, but stranger
things have happened near a boundary. Storms will likely wane by
02z/9pm with the loss of daytime heating.

Attention then turns toward the overnight period as the surface
front begins to waffle northward near the I-74 corridor. Eyes will
need to be over E Nebraska and W Iowa tonight to see if an MCS
develops ahead of a mid-level shortwave and modest LLJ. If it
does, and afternoon CAM guidance currently provides little help
at this point, it will almost certainly ride the instability
(theta-e) axis into central Illinois. Shear/CAPE profiles support
MCS maintenance, but a robustly stable near-sfc layer could
mitigate a severe/damaging wind threat. Rather, it could be a nice
rainmaker for us in central Illinois, with QPF values ranging from
a few tenths, while localized values could exceed an inch.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday)
ISSUED AT 246 PM CDT Mon Aug 1 2022

Wednesday looks to be the warmest day of the week with highs
expected to be in the low to middle 90s. Heat indices will make it
feel warmer than that though with values looking to range between
100-110. A Heat Advisory may be needed for most of the area on
Wednesday. However an approaching cold front may throw a wrench in
this as cloud cover and precipitation chances increase from
northwest to southeast Wednesday afternoon into evening. The front
looks to slowly sag southward through the area bringing
widespread precipitation chances and even the threat for some
severe weather Wednesday evening. A good soaking rain appears
likely for much of the area, which is very much needed especially
in parts of eastern IL where drought conditions continue.

Temperatures for the end of the week will be a little cooler due to
ongoing precipitation as the front slowly works through the area.
Another bout of heat is possible this weekend as upper ridging
builds over the area.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening)
Issued at 644 PM CDT Mon Aug 1 2022

VFR conditions will persist through 06z/1am tonight, at least. A
complex of showers and thunderstorms may then move into central
Illinois overnight into Tuesday morning. Confidence is low, but
coverage could be widespread. This was enough for vicinity mention
at all regional terminals. Flight categories may lower into the
MVFR range early Tuesday morning if moderate rainfall does spread
in from the west. Additionally, with winds becoming light and
variable overnight, some patchy fog may develop and reduce flight
categories into MVFR or IFR. The best signal for this right now is
at CMI. A return to VFR conditions is then likely by Tuesday
afternoon, beyond 18z.
