AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL 150 PM CDT THU JUN 17 2004 .DISCUSSION... CHALLENGES THIS AFTERNOON REVOLVES AROUND PRECIPITATION TIMING NEXT WEEK AND AMOUNT OF COOLING FOR THE WEEKEND SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT... BOUNDARY FROM DANVILLE TO SHELBYVILLE IS PRODUCING SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. ACTIVITY WILL LINGER INTO THE EARLY EVENING AHEAD OF SLOW MOVING BOUNDARY. BIGGEST CONCERN IS LIKELY POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL GIVEN VERY HIGH PRECIP WATER AND MOVEMENT ALONG THE BOUNDARY. MODELS CONSISTENT ON BRINGING LOWER DEW POINTS INTO REGION OVERNIGHT. BOTH ETA AND GFS BRING NEXT SHORT WAVE IN ZONAL FLOW INTO FORECAST AREA FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WILL GO WITH RELATIVELY HIGH CHANCE POPS GIVEN STILL DECENT PRECIP WATER AND RETURNING BOUNDARY IN AREA. WILL HAVE TO WATCH CLOSELY AS E-W BOUNDARY MAY FOCUS SHEAR AND PRODUCE A LOCALIZED TORNADO THREAT. BOTH MODELS ARE PROGRESSIVE AT PUSHING SYSTEM THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT AND THEN BUILDING COOL HIGH PRESSURE IN FOR THE WEEKEND. LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY... ALTHOUGH THE TREND OF THE GFS ENSEMBLES IS TO SLOWLY BUILD HEIGHTS WITH TIME...THE FLOW IS PROGGED TO REMAIN GENERALLY ZONAL WITH SHORT WAVES MIGRATING THROUGH THE FLOW. ENSEMBLE SUGGESTS THAT BEST CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATION WILL BE MIDWEEK WITH A LESSER CHANCE MONDAY AND TUESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN OVER THE WEEKEND SHOULD DROP DEW POINTS INTO THE 50S FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A WHILE. MAV GUIDANCE SEEMS A BIT COOL...BUT GIVEN UPSTREAM CONDITIONS AND PROJECTED PRESSURE RISES WILL LEAN TOWARD THESE COOLER TEMPS. AS RIDGE AXIS MOVES PAST SUNDAY WARM-UP SHOULD BE RAPID AS WILL RETURN OF 60S DEW POINTS. && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...NONE. && BARKER
