Area forecast discussion, Jun 25, 1:25 PM CST, 3 hours 5 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL 225 PM CDT SAT JUN 25 2005 .DISCUSSION...LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS HAD A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXTENDING FROM THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES... ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. A JUICY AIRMASS WAS IN PLACE ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST ILLINOIS TO THE SOUTH OF THIS FRONT. MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS REVOLVE AROUND PRECIPITATION CHANCES UNTIL THIS BOUNDARY FINALLY CLEARS THE REGION LATE NEXT WEEK AND HOW HOT IT WILL BE UNTIL IT DOES SO. 12Z MODELS IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT OVERALL WITH RESPECT TO FEATURES EXPECTED TO IMPACT REGION. THE NAM IS A BIT MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH A WEAK IMPULSE THAT DRIFTS AROUND THE MEAN RIDGE FROM THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES...BUT IN ANY CASE THIS FEATURES SHOULD HAVE MINIMAL IMPACT IF ANY ON FORECAST AREA (GENERALLY ONLY SOUTHEAST SECTIONS). GUIDANCE TEMPERATURES GENERALLY CLOSE AND REASONABLE IN DEPICTING THE RATHER STAGNANT AIRMASS EXPECTED INTO NEXT WEEK. SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...OVERALL WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL BE STATUS QUO FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. WEAK UPPER RIDGING WILL REMAIN IN PLACE...WITH A FAIRLY WELL DEFINED SURFACE BOUNDARY TO OUR NORTH AND WEST. ALSO...AS STATED ABOVE...AN IMPULSE WILL IMPACT EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE REGION SLIGHTLY MONDAY AND TUESDAY. SO...EXPECT ISOLATED STORMS TO DEVELOP WITH AFTERNOON HEATING EACH AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...WITH WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE IMPULSE IN THE EAST THERE IS NOT ENOUGH OF A FOCUS TO HANG YOUR HAT ON TO CARRY STORMS IN FORECAST AT THIS TIME (CONSIDERING THE OVERALL CHANCES/COVERAGE). OVERNIGHT LOWS AND DAYTIME HIGHS WILL NOT BE APPRECIABLY DIFFERENT THAN THOSE OF TODAY THE THE PAST COUPLE DAYS. LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...MODELS SHARE THE SAME FLAVOR ONCE AGAIN WITH THE PATTERN CHANGE...BUT STILL HAVE A FAIR AMOUNT OF SPREAD WITH THE TIMING OF THIS CHANGE. THE MOST NOTABLE FEATURE IS A STRONG UPPER WAVE THAT WILL FLATTEN THE EASTERN U.S. RIDGE AND PUSH A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE REGION IN THE VICINITY OF THURSDAY. STILL FAVOR A SLOWER SOLUTION FOR THIS FROPA (THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT) GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE RIDGE...BUT THERE IS ENOUGH UNCERTAINTY TO NOT HIT THE RAIN CHANCES TOO HARD AT THIS POINT. A SOUTHERN STREAM WAVE MAY ARRIVE BY SATURDAY AND PUSH THE TAIL OF THE FRONT BACK NORTH TOWARD REGION...BUT GIVEN THE DROUGHT PATTERN WE ARE IN WILL LEAVE IT DRY AT THIS TIME. UNSEASONABLY WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST UNTIL LATE WEEK FROPA...WHEN TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN TO MORE NORMAL LEVELS. && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... IL...NONE. BAK
