Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
352 PM CDT Thu Apr 20 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 351 PM CDT Thu Apr 20 2023

Line of severe storms has developed just ahead of a cold front and
will move across the central Illinois this evening, with the
threat of large hail, damaging winds, and possible tornadoes;
mainly west of I-57. Storms should diminish as they get east of
I-55. A secondary cold front then swings through Friday night,
bringing much colder temperatures and the potential for
widespread frost over the weekend. Dry and seasonable weather is
anticipated into the middle of next week.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday)
ISSUED AT 351 PM CDT Thu Apr 20 2023

Severe storms have developed ahead of the cold front that is
forecast to move into and through the CWA this evening.
Instability and shear supports strong storms with potential of
large hail and damaging winds. Tornadoes are also possible with
some of the cells across the northern parts of the CWA. These
storms will move northeast as the line moves east. As the storms
get further east, instability and shear diminishes, so storms
should also diminish in intensity. Strong winds out ahead of these
storms will also continue with gusts around 45 mph still common in
the wind advisory area and will be allowed to expire at 5 pm. As
the front moves to the east, showers and isolated storms will
linger in the east and southeast, mainly east of I-57. Cooler
temps will also move into the region. Overnight lows will be in
the 50s...however highs tomorrow will only get into the 60s.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday)
ISSUED AT 351 PM CDT Thu Apr 20 2023

Showers will continue to linger in the east and southeast Friday
night. However, dry weather is expected through the weekend and
the first part of next week. Overnight lows will drop into the
middle 30s for Sat night, but into the lower to around 30 for
Sunday night. Widespread frost will be possible Sun night/Mon
morning. Unsettled weather returns to the area for Tuesday
through Thursday with chances of showers through the period.
Cooler than normal temps are expected as well, with temps only
reaching into the 60s and lows in the 40s.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon)
Issued at 1247 PM CDT Thu Apr 20 2023

VFR conditions will prevail at all sites next 24hrs...even with
storms expected later this afternoon into this evening. Broken
cigs around 5kft will be common across all sites this afternoon,
but then when storms are on-site, cigs around 3.5kft can be
expected...with vis around 4sm as well. Conditions will likely be
less during the t-storms, but brief. Have given each site a 2hr
window when storms could be on station and also a VCTS to cover an
hr after the TEMPO group. Once storms pass, showers will continue
for an hour or two, followed by VCSH for the rest of the evening.
Cigs will rise into the mid levels around 10kft for the evening
and then broken cirrus expected during the overnight hours. This
high cirrus will likely continue into the morning hours tomorrow.
Winds will be southwest during the day for all sites, ahead of the
front. Then behind the front become westerly and then
northwesterly later tonight. Winds will be quite gusty, with gusts
of up to 35kts, today but then taper after the line of storms
and into this evening.
