AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
317 PM CDT TUE JUN 25 2013

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 300 PM CDT TUE JUN 25 2013

SEVERE STORM CHANCES WILL REMAIN THE FOCUS OVER THE NEXT 2 DAYS.
FLASH FLOODING POTENTIAL TONIGHT IN THE NORTH WILL ALSO BE A
CONCERN. BEYOND THAT...AN AIRMASS CHANGE IS PROJECTED FOR LATE
THIS WEEK AND WEEKEND. HOWEVER...A CUTOFF UPPER LOW LINGERING OVER
THE HEARTLAND WILL KEEP SHOWERS AND EVEN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS IN
THE FORECAST THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY.

WE DECIDED TO PUT OUR 5 NORTHERN COUNTIES IN A FLASH FLOOD THROUGH
TONIGHT DUE TO PREVIOUS 3-5 INCH RAINS EARLY MONDAY MORNING AND
THE POTENTIAL FOR ADDITIONAL VERY HEAVY RAINFALL RATES UP TO 2
INCHES AN HOUR WITH ANY THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH TONIGHT. PWATS
REMAIN IN THE 1.7-1.9" RANGE...AND PERIODIC STORMS IN AN EAST-WEST
LINE ACROSS N IL IS POSSIBLE.

ADJUSTING OUR 12Z SOUNDING FOR CURRENT CONDITIONS SHOWS ML-CAPE
VALUES APPROACHING 3500 J/KG ACROSS OUR AREA...WITH LITTLE TO NO
CIN. VARIOUS BOUNDARIES ACROSS THE AREA FROM YESTERDAYS CONVECTION
HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TO FIRE BETWEEN 18-19Z. WATER VAPOR PIX CONFIRM
A SHORTWAVE IN THE FLOW ACROSS IOWA PROGRESSING EAST-NE. THAT WAVE
SHOULD HELP RAMP UP THE COVERAGE OF STORMS AND POSSIBLY PUSH US
INTO SEVERE WEATHER MODE. FREEZING LEVEL AT 14.4K FT MEANS HAIL
WILL NEED INTENSE UPDRAFTS TO REACH SEVERE LEVELS /1"+/...BUT WE HAVE
THE CAPE TO ACCOMPLISH THAT WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS. WIND SHEAR
WILL BE GRADUALLY INCREASING AS WE HEAD INTO THIS EVENING...SO
ROTATING SUPERCELLS WILL BE POSSIBLE AS THE EVENT PROGRESSES.

THE LATEST HRRR IS INDICATING TWO PERIODS OF STORMS POSSIBLE. WE
EXPECT A WAVE OF STORMS THIS EVENING THAT MAY BE FOLLOWED BY
ANOTHER BOWING COMPLEX OF STORMS ROLLING INTO OUR AREA FROM IOWA
REACHING KNOX COUNTY AROUND 06Z/1AM. THOSE STORMS MAY BE STILL
AFFECTING OUR COUNTIES SE OF I-70 WED MORNING BEFORE THEY DEPART
INTO INDIANA. WE WENT WITH SOME LIKELY POPS IN THE MORNING TO
ACCOUNT FOR THAT.

THEN A BREAK IN THE ACTION MAY DEVELOP THE REST OF WED MORNING AS
THE ATMOSPHERE RECHARGES FOR THE AFTERNOON WAVE OF STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS. IT APPEARS THAT A LINE OF STORMS WILL DEVELOP
ACROSS WEST CENTRAL ILLINOIS BY MID AFTERNOON...THEN PROGRESS
EASTWARD. AN INCREASING LLJ IS EXPECTED TO COINCIDE WITH UPPER
LEVEL WINDS VEERING TO THE NORTHWEST. THAT WILL INCREASE SHEAR AND
HELICITY PARAMETERS AND RAMP UP THE THREAT OF ROTATING STORMS AND
POSSIBLY A FEW TORNADOES...MAINLY EAST OF I-55. WE INCREASED POPS
TO LIKELY IN THE EAST WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON TO ACCOUNT FOR THAT
PERIOD OF SEVERE STORMS.

STORMS SHOULD BE WINDING DOWN WED EVENING AS THE COMPLEX MOVES
INTO INDIANA. THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT SHOULD BE PRIMARILY
DRY...BUT A FEW DAYTIME SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE EAST AS
THE UPPER WAVE LINGERS ACROSS THE EAST...AND A FEW SHOWERS MAY
REACH OUR SOUTHWESTERN COUNTIES THUR NIGHT AHEAD OF THE NEXT UPPER
LEVEL WAVE. WE KEPT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS EVERYWHERE ON FRIDAY AS
THAT WAVE PROGRESSES ACROSS IL. PRECIP SHOULD BE SPOTTY...AS
COOLER AND LESS HUMID AIR BEGINS TO FLOW INTO THE AREA ON
NORTHWEST WINDS.

LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

WE EXPECT TO BE IN AN EXTENDED PERIOD UP UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING AS
A CUT OFF LOW DEVELOPS ACROSS THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES AND
RETROGRADES AND OSCILLATES OVER THE MIDWEST THROUGH EARLY NEXT
WEEK. PERIODS OF SLIGHT CHANCE AND CHANCE POPS WILL PEPPER THE
EXTENDED FORECAST AS A RESULT...DUE TO VARIOUS SHORTWAVE ROTATING
AROUND THE UPPER LOW. RELATIVELY COOL AIR ALOFT WILL ALSO KEEP
LAPSE RATES MODERATELY HIGH...AND FAVORABLE FOR ANY SUNS HEATING
TO CREATE SHOWERS AND ISOLATED STORMS.

TEMPS WILL SETTLE OUT WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S TO NEAR 80 AND
LOWS IN THE LOWER 60S FOR MUCH OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD.

.AVIATION...
ISSUED 1252 PM CDT TUE JUN 25 2013

PERIODS OF THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED AT ALL OF THE TAF SITES IN
CENTRAL AND EASTERN IL THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THE HIGH RESOLUTION
MODELS LIKE THE HRRR...RUC AND LOCAL WRF ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT
THAT AT LEAST SCT CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP LATER THIS AFTERNOON IN
WEST CENTRAL IL...IN RESPONSE TO ABUNDANT INSTABILITY AND A
SHORTWAVE NOW MOVING TOWARD CENTRAL MO...AND IMPACT THE TAF SITES
AROUND 21-23Z.

AM ANTICIPATING A BRIEF RESPITE IN THE CONVECTION AS THE
ATMOSPHERE LIKELY STABILIZES...DUE TO RAIN FROM LATER AFTERNOON
STORMS...AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET.

LATER IN THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...THE SHORT RANGE AND HIGH
RESOLUTION MODELS ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT THAT SCT CONVECTION WILL
REDEVELOP CLOSE TO OR SHORTLY AFTER MIDNIGHT IN RESPONSE TO AMPLE
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND INCREASING LOW LEVEL WINDS/MOISTURE
TRANSPORT. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS THAT THE MOST LIKELY AREA TO
EXPERIENCE THIS WILL BE IN THE NORTHERN TAF SITES FROM KPIA-KBMI.
AM CONFIDENT THIS WILL IMPACT THESE AREAS...SO WENT WITH A
PREDOMINANT TSRA GROUP FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE DAYBREAK. CONFIDENCE
WANES WITH SOUTHWARD AND EASTWARD EXTENT AS THE MODELS DO NOT
AGREE ON THE PROPAGATION OF THE STORMS.
