Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
315 PM CDT Sun May 15 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 315 PM CDT Sun May 15 2022

Scattered showers and storms will be possible going into this
evening. A few of these may be strong to severe with the better
chances being south of I-72. Cooler and drier weather arrives for
the start of the new week with temperatures expected to top out in
the 70s. Shower and storm chances return late Tuesday night and
persist through the end of the week.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday night)
ISSUED AT 315 PM CDT Sun May 15 2022

Water vapor imagery shows a shortwave trough working through the
Midwest. Surface analysis depicts a cold front stretched from
western Michigan southwestward into northern Missouri, with a
secondary weaker front/boundary situated from roughly just south of
Danville back to near Shelbyville. Dewpoints across the area remain
pretty comfortable in the 50s minus parts of eastern and southeast
Illinois where dewpoints south of the aforementioned boundary are in
the 60s.

Scattered storms are ongoing along the previously mentioned boundary
situated just south of Danville to Shelbyville as of 3 PM. Severe
weather remains possible, but it appears there may only be a short
window for organized convection to develop. The rapid refresh model
paints an axis of MLCAPE between 500-1000 J/kg as of 3 PM, with it
forecast to top out just shy of 1500 J/kg or so later this afternoon
or early evening. Cloud cover continues to increase from west to
east, which will work against potential instability. Shear early
this afternoon is still weak, but as an upper jet noses further east
later this afternoon/early evening, wind shear will improve. Storms
ongoing this afternoon will likely be pulsey and lack organization,
but we should start to see more sustainable updrafts by later this
afternoon as shear improves. Because of this, current thoughts place
the best severe potential between 4-8 PM south of I-72 with the main
threats being damaging wind gusts and large hail. The severe threat
should fade quickly after sunset as we lose instability.

The cold front pushes through the area tonight as high pressure
settles into the central Plains states. Overnight lows will be
cooler with values in the 50s expected. Dry and mostly quiet
conditions will be present to start the new week, though it will be
a bit on the breezy side. Forecast soundings show deep mixing up to
near 6k ft which will mix down wind gusts upwards of 20-25 mph and
much drier air. Depending on where and how much rain is received
today and from previous day, there may be some concern for elevated
fire danger, especially across our northern counties where lack of
precipitation has dried fuels out. Temperatures on Monday will be
cooler than recent days, but right around normal.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday)
ISSUED AT 315 PM CDT Sun May 15 2022

The next chance for showers and storms look to hold off until later
Tuesday night into Wednesday as a strong little shortwave trough
tracks overhead. The potential for a few strong to severe storms
exists mainly south of the area overnight Tuesday where the better
instability and shear will be. Parameters improve here locally on
Wednesday, but the upper wave will be east of here by the time
that occurs. Occasional shower and storm chances linger through
the end of the week as a frontal boundary remains situated
somewhere over the area. Southwest flow sets up overhead for the
end of the week, bringing warmer and more humid air back into the
area. A stronger system will track through the upper Midwest on
Friday, sending a strong cold front through the region. The latest
guidance suggests supportive instability and shear for strong to
potentially severe storms ahead of the frontal passage. Will need
to keep an eye on this period over the next several days.
Temperatures look to cool back down behind the frontal passage for
the weekend as high pressure builds into the Midwest.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 1219 PM CDT Sun May 15 2022

The main shower and storm activity continues to remain west and
southwest of the area this afternoon. Scattered showers will spread
into west-central Illinois early this afternoon, with most of the
storm activity looking to hold off until this evening. However,
there is still quite a bit of uncertainty with the storm evolution.
Adjusted the VCTS mention at I-55 and east TAF sites to be a few
hours later, though this may need to be refined further VFR flight
rules remain predominant through the period, but MVFR conditions
will be possible within any storm. Northwest winds around 10 kts or
so will continue overnight, with gusts up to 20 kts being introduced
later Monday morning.
