The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning 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 severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jun 29, 12:47 PM CDT, 40 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jun 29, 12:47 PM CDT, 40 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...Updated Aviation National Weather Service Lincoln IL 1247 PM CDT Thu Jun 29 2023 .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 1238 PM CDT Thu Jun 29 2023 Another round of severe thunderstorms are expected to track quickly eastward over central and southeast IL during this afternoon, with all hazards possible. This includes damaging winds of 60 to 80 mph, large hail 1 to 3 inch diameter and possible tornadoes along with heavy rains. Highs today in the mid to upper 80s with muggy and hazy conditions before the storms. An air quality alert continues through 7 pm today, but smokey conditions should improve as the storms race eastward across central IL through this afternoon. More severe weather is possible Friday and this weekend with more rounds of thunderstorms. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 249 AM CDT Thu Jun 29 2023 -----------------------[KEY MESSAGES]----------------------- 1. Severe weather is on deck for today, with the potential of multiple rounds throughout the day. All hazards are possible. 2. Smoke lingers over central Illinois with hopes that it will move out by this morning into the afternoon. ------------------------[DISCUSSION]------------------------ Looking at the set up today synoptically, we can see a prominent 500 mb ridge in place over much of the central United States. Many of the convective complexes look as if they are "riding the ridge", moving over the top of the ridging feature. This ridge is likely a big player in the extreme temperatures much of the United States will be dealing with for the next day or so, essentially acting as a heat dome. However, the convection expected today will limit temperatures. An upper level trough is pushing onto the west coast. This will force the ridging pattern to weaken and move off to the east and bring additional chances for rain and thunderstorms to our CWA. A surface low pressure system is moving across the Plains eastward towards the Middle Mississippi and Ohio Valleys. The warm front associated with this low will bring dewpoints of 70+ degrees to central and southeastern Illinois. These dewpoints indicate the abundance of moisture in the air, which will help aid in the convective initiation in the early morning hours today. After the warm front and surface low move away from central Illinois, multiple surface boundaries are forecast to pass through over the next several days. Dropping down to the mesoscale details, we shall focus on the near term (Thursday into Friday). As the storms begin to fire up this morning, they are expected to be primarily elevated to start as they are ahead of the warm front. These early storms' risks look to mainly be hail, as there is quite a bit of capping that the winds will have to break through to reach the surface. Depending on location of the convective complex passage and its associated cold pool, storms may be able to become surface based, which will greatly increase the risk of strong, damaging winds. The storms that are along or near the warm front have a chance for some tornadoes. SPC has all of central Illinois in an enhanced risk for severe weather [5% tor, 30% wind, and 15% hatched hail]. Based on the 00z/29 run of the NAM, MUCAPE values are widely 2500- 5000 J/kg for most of the night into Thursday afternoon/evening. The capping over the region is keeping SBCAPE pretty low over eastern Illinois but nearing 4000 J/kg over western Illinois. The surface to 500mb bulk shear shows a max of 50 kts over central Illinois this morning (agreeing with the Euro/GFS/HRRR). The 00z/29 run of the HREF ensemble show large swaths of areas with updraft speeds greater than 20 m/s (sufficient for hail development). The first round of convection is expect to start making its way across the CWA just before sunrise. The second round closely follows and potentially will move through by late morning or early afternoon. Then a third round could move through by late tonight or early Friday morning. Despite it being the extreme short term now, there is still the uncertainty of where these complexes may move through and how they will affect each other and the highs over the next day or so. In terms of the smoke and hazy conditions, the HRRR 00z run is indicating that the smoke should start clearing out of the area just after sunrise. Visibilities and air quality should begin to improve shortly after. Basically, today is going to be much less smokey and hazy than the previous 2 days. If the convection plays out as expected, temperatures will be greatly limited today and Friday - essentially depleting the heat indices. The heat advisory for Lawrence/Richland/Clay counties has been cancelled early. Saturday - Monday will see highs primarily in the upper 80s but then by mid week highs in the 90s will return. Currently, there is no heat indices in the forecast. There is a chance for showers and thunderstorms throughout the extended period. Delaney && .AVIATION... (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Friday Afternoon) Issued at 1245 PM CDT Thu Jun 29 2023 Severe squall line racing eastward along I-55 and already affected PIA and SPI with w/nw wind gusts 45-55 kts and about to affect DEC and BMI prior to 18Z. Severe storms racing east at 55-65 mph and to affect CMI by 1830-19Z with w/nw wind gusts 50-60 kts likely. Hail and very heavy rains also risk along and east of the IL river next 1-2 hours with IFR to MVFR conditions. A lull in convection from this evening into mid Fri morning, but another round of convection could roll in late Friday morning or Friday afternoon. CAMs differ on evolution of next round of convection on Fri and left thunderstorms out of TAFs for Friday morning. 07 && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. &&
