Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
1243 AM CDT Mon Sep 19 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 320 PM CDT Sun Sep 18 2022

Showers and thunderstorms, some severe, are forecast for this
evening and tonight. After a warm and dry day Monday, very warm
conditions are expected Tuesday with heat index values
approaching 100 degrees. Cooler weather with occasional shower
chances is forecast for the remainder of the week.

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 737 PM CDT Sun Sep 18 2022

Convective initiation has occurred across portions of south
central and SE Iowa this evening and expect coverage to continue
to increase over the next couple hours as the low level jet
continues to kick in. While there remains some uncertainty in the
overall coverage and placement of storms overnight, main thinking
has not changed much. The severe threat is expected to move into
the central Illinois forecast area starting 9-10 pm and
continuing overnight before it evolves into more of a hydro threat
with training storms on the nose of the low level jet. In the
near term, latest RAP continues to show moderately strong MLCAPE
values of 1500-2500 J/kg near and north of the Illinois River
Valley. Despite loss of daytime heating, guidance suggests the
threat for strong or severe convection rooted within an unstable
boundary layer will continue through late tonight as these
stronger instability values slowly spread east ahead of an
approaching cold front. Deep layer shear continues to increase
ahead of a digging shortwave over northern IA/southern MN this
hour. In addition to deep layer shear values increasing to 40-50
kt late this evening, 0-1km SRH values of 100-200 m2/s2 continue
to point to favorable conditions for tornadoes with any
supercells. After midnight tonight, do expect the severe threat to
moderate/wane some as the storms outrun some of the stronger
instability currently in place, but an evolving hydro threat
remains plausible with training storms developing on the nose of
the veering low level jet. There is some uncertainty on the exact
axis of heaviest rain fall but some flash flooding will be
possible south of I-74 with the most likely location near a
Havana/Beardstown to Taylorville line.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday)
ISSUED AT 320 PM CDT Sun Sep 18 2022

A cap near the 3000 foot level this afternoon is keeping shower
and thunderstorm activity minimal in central IL early this
afternoon, with so far just one weak shower south of Taylorville.
Meanwhile, quite a few sunny areas in northeast MO, southeast IA,
and west central IL are contributing to increasing instability,
which models anticipate should be in the 2000-3000 J/Kg SBCAPE
range by 6 pm, along with 40-50 kt sfc-500 mb shear and the
arrival of a strong upper level shortwave via the northern Plains.
Thunderstorm initiation with a preceding shortwave appears to be
taking place in southeast IA, but it appears it may take until
closer to 6 pm before convective inhibition diminishes further and
the main shortwave arrives. At that point, some supercells look to
develop close to west central IL, and could pose all severe
thunderstorm hazards including damaging wind gusts, very large
hail, and a few tornadoes. Storms could congeal into a linear
system for a time as they spread eastward into the IL River Valley
and I-55 corridor, however some CAM model solutions keep activity
more scattered. SPC indicates an enhanced risk of severe
thunderstorms from around I-55 westward, and a slight risk over
the remainder of central IL. Overnight, there appear to be two
general areas of more widespread convection. One heading eastward
between the I-74 and I-80 corridors following the upper level
shortwave, and another more slowly moving southeastward associated
with a nocturnal low level jet. This latter feature looks to be
associated with the heaviest precipitation. General expectation is
for up to around 2 inches in a corridor from west central into
southeast IL, but a couple of models depict a maximum of several
inches in this general area. WPC indicates a slight risk of
excessive rainfall in this area, and flash flooding will have to
be watched for.

Dry weather will return for Monday afternoon's the shortwave
heads east and a large scale high pressure ridge amplifies again
into the region. Following the overnight system, a cold front will
slowly settle southward, bringing a slight cooling for Monday
with highs in the lower 80s near the I-74 corridor.

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday)
ISSUED AT 320 PM CDT Sun Sep 18 2022

Hot and humid weather will resume on Tuesday as winds shift to
southwesterly again. Expect dewpoints cracking 70 degrees along
with lower 90s for Highs, resulting in heat index around 100
degrees. The heat will be short lived, however, as another cold
front sweeps into the area late Tuesday night and pushes through
the forecast area by peak heating Wednesday. Highs should range
from 79 in Galesburg to 94 in Lawrenceville. Wednesday and
Thursday should see highs in the 60s to lower 70s, followed by a
gradual warming trend on the weekend. Precipitation chances should
accompany the Wednesday cold front, but modest CAPE and shear as
well as timing should keep severe weather threats to a minimum.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night)
Issued at 1243 AM CDT Mon Sep 19 2022

Heavy rain and thunderstorms may bring occasional MVFR to IFR or
even lower conditions to TAF sites through around 10z, as well as
strong/erratic wind gusts and lightning. Repeated thunderstorms
may occur over some terminals, with SPI and DEC perhaps favored
for this within the next few hours. Once thunderstorms decrease
after 12z, a few hours of MVFR ceilings may occur before
scattering out, with VFR conditions forecast for the remainder of
the TAF period.
