25What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this tornado 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 tornado warning went out at May 16, 2:11 PM CDT, 4 hours 25 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- There is a level 4 of 5 (moderate) risk for severe weather Friday afternoon and evening south of roughly I-70, and a level 3 (enhanced) risk further northwest to roughly I-55. Possible hazards include intense straight-line winds, large hail, and tornadoes.
- Southwest winds gusting 35-50 mph this afternoon will combine with relative humidity values below 30% north of I-72 to result in increased fire danger.
- Those strong winds will also result in a risk for localized blowing dust, which could briefly diminish visibility for motorists in rural areas. That risk will be highest north of I-70 and east of roughly the IL River.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Lincoln IL 211 PM CDT Fri May 16 2025 .KEY MESSAGES... - There is a level 4 of 5 (moderate) risk for severe weather Friday afternoon and evening south of roughly I-70, and a level 3 (enhanced) risk further northwest to roughly I-55. Possible hazards include intense straight-line winds, large hail, and tornadoes. - Southwest winds gusting 35-50 mph this afternoon will combine with relative humidity values below 30% north of I-72 to result in increased fire danger. - Those strong winds will also result in a risk for localized blowing dust, which could briefly diminish visibility for motorists in rural areas. That risk will be highest north of I-70 and east of roughly the IL River. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 143 PM CDT Fri May 16 2025 A mid level disturbance lifting northeast out of the central Plains will bring an opportunity for severe thunderstorms to the region this afternoon and evening. In its wake, conditions turn dry and cooler for the upcoming weekend. Early next work week, thunderstorm chances will return with the approach of another trough lifting out of the Great Plains. ***** SEVERE WEATHER RISK THIS AFTERNOON-EVENING ***** At 2pm, surface temperatures were in the mid to upper 80s across central IL, with dewpoints ranging from the low to mid 60s south of roughly I-70 to low 40s west of the IL River. The more abundant moisture continues to surge north in advance of a mid-upper level disturbance lifting towards the region from the Central Plains, though this will eventually be limited by ongoing upstream convection across east-central MO. As these storms build northeast along the dryline and move into central IL, they will pose a risk for all severe hazards, including large-significant hail, destructive downburst winds; meanwhile, the risk for tornadoes will be higher in southeast and east-central IL where low level moisture is higher and hence LCL heights are lower. While convective mode is depicted in virtually every CAM as discrete to start, there may be a tendency towards upscale growth into a MCS capable of widespread damaging winds. Fortunately, these storms will be moving quickly, so the threat will be rapidly diminishing from west to east and we'll update the watch accordingly. By 9pm (if not sooner), the storms should be out of here. ***** GUSTY WINDS TODAY **** South-southwest winds will continue to gust 30 to 40 mph today, with some potential for sporadic gusts up to 50 mph especially across our western counties where winds aloft will be increasing with the approaching upper level trough. HRRR/RAP Bufkit soundings suggest top of channel winds could exceed 50 kt at times mainly west of the IL River, but we suspect a slight dry bias may be resulting in erroneously high values; nonetheless, we'll be monitoring surface observations in case we need to expand the Wind Advisory to include more counties. In addition, these strong winds could result in some localized blowing dust which could degrade visibility for motorists, especially considering we already had a few reports of such blowing dust yesterday and winds are running slightly stronger today. These strong winds, combined with dry low levels (RH values < 30%) across our north/northwest counties, are resulting in increased fire weather danger which will continue through the evening. See the fire weather section below for more information on that. ***** DRY AND COOLER THIS WEEKEND ***** The upper trough will shift east and surface high pressure build into the region in its wake tomorrow/night, giving us a dry and seasonably cool weekend with daily highs in the low to mid 70s. Tomorrow may actually feel a bit chilly given northwest winds gusting to around 30 mph. The next opportunity for precipitation will arrive Sunday night/Monday into Tuesday of next week as another system lifts out of the Central Plains. A lot remains unclear about that system, including its arrival time and warmth/moisture return ahead of it, which suggests vast uncertainty surrounding both precipitation amounts and any severe weather potential. However, a strong push of cool advection appears increasingly likely towards the middle of next work week; blended guidance from NBM brings highs into only the low to mid 60s by Wednesday. Bumgardner && .AVIATION... (For the 18z TAFs through 18z Saturday Afternoon) Issued at 1232 PM CDT Fri May 16 2025 Between an unseasonably deep low pressure system across the Upper Midwest and a surface high to our east, the pressure gradient has tightened across central IL favoring stiff south to southwest winds which will gust 25 to 35 kt (sporadically higher) through the evening. Meanwhile, a shortwave disturbance lifting out of the Central Plains will spark storms somewhere across the area, with the highest confidence in storms at DEC and CMI and less certainly further northwest. These storms will be capable of generating localized large hail and wind gusts over 50 kt, as well as briefly diminished visibility. Behind a cold front, winds will shift to westerly this evening and remain gusty through the early portion of the overnight period. Lower ceilings will filter in from the north towards sunrise/11z, with HREF giving a 40-60% for MVFR at PIA and BMI for several hours during the early to mid morning. Winds pick back up a bit around 15-16z as diurnal heating deepens mixing. Bumgardner && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 208 PM CDT Fri May 16 2025 Deep mixing has resulted in large dewpoint depressions and hence RH values less than 30% near and north of roughly I-72, where wind gusts are slated to increase to upwards of 35-45 mph shortly. Consequently, we recommend limiting or at least using extra precautions with any burning activities during the late morning into early evening. The special weather statement remains for areas from I-72 northward to address the enhanced fire danger today. Bumgardner/Huettl && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
