Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
238 PM CDT Tue Apr 29 2025

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Thunderstorms will track along and south of I-70 through the
  remainder of the afternoon. A few of the storms could produce
  damaging wind gusts and hail.

- After a lull in precipitation chances tonight, showers and
  thunderstorms will spread back into the area Wednesday into
  Thursday. Storm total rainfall will range from 0.50 to 1.00.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Thursday)
Issued at 238 PM CDT Tue Apr 29 2025

19z/2pm surface analysis shows a cold front sagging southward
toward the I-70 corridor. A cluster of strong to severe convection
that developed along the tail end of the front across the Ozarks
this morning has tracked E/NE into south-central Illinois this
afternoon. In addition, scattered cells are forming ahead of the
main cluster. Based on the latest radar loops, it appears the bulk
of the convection will remain south of I-70...with the greatest
severe weather risk staying just south of the KILX CWA. While
deep-layer shear in the warm sector ahead of the storms is quite
weak, MLCAPEs of 1500-2000J/kg will be sufficient to support the
potential for a few severe cells. Damaging wind gusts of around
60mph will be the primary risk: however, steep mid-level lapse
rates and freezing levels of around 11,000ft will be supportive of
large hail within the more vigorous updrafts. The storms will be
ongoing across the far SE CWA from now through about 430pm...then
will shift into Indiana.

Once the afternoon activity exits, a period of dry weather is
anticipated tonight...before the frontal boundary begins to lift
back northward as a warm front on Wednesday. HRRR/NAM suggest
scattered showers developing during the morning, then becoming
more numerous during the afternoon as the atmosphere moistens from
the top-down. Instability will initially be paltry: however,
MUCAPE values will increase to greater than 500J/kg later in the
day into Wednesday night supporting thunder mention at that time.

As low pressure lifts northeastward across the region, showers and
a few thunderstorms will linger into Thursday...before gradually
coming to an end by Thursday evening. Storm total rainfall will
generally range from 0.50 to 1.00.

Barnes

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Next Tuesday)
Issued at 238 PM CDT Tue Apr 29 2025

A short-wave trough will dig southeastward from the Northern
Plains on Friday...bringing clouds and perhaps a few light rain
showers. Moisture will be limited, so have capped PoPs in the
chance category (50% or less). After the wave passes, high
pressure will build into the region...bringing cool and dry
weather for the weekend. After that, temperatures will warm back
above normal into the upper 70s to around 80 degrees by early next
week.

.AVIATION...  (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Wednesday Afternoon)
Issued at 1247 PM CDT Tue Apr 29 2025

Based on the forward speed of a cold front pushing eastward
across central Illinois early this afternoon, it appears the
boundary will pass KCMI by around or shortly after 18z...resulting
in NW winds gusting 20-25kt across the board this afternoon. The
gusts will gradually diminish after 21z, then will back to N/NE
and drop to around 5kt from late evening through the overnight.
Winds will then become E/SE at 10-15kt by Wednesday morning as the
boundary begins to lift back northward as a warm front. A thick
blanket of mid/high clouds associated with convective blow-off to
the southwest will obscure the sky this afternoon before
temporarily clearing out this evening. Clouds will once again be
on the increase from south to north across the area Wednesday
morning, with scattered showers developing before midday. Have
introduced VCSH at the I-74 sites after 15z/16z...with predominant
showers further south.
