The episode as NWS ILX wrote it up.
A slow-moving warm front brought several rounds of showers and thunderstorms to central Illinois from May 25th through May 27th. The heaviest rainfall of between 2 and 6 inches occurred along and west of the Illinois River Valley. As showers and thunderstorms re-developed across the area during the evening of May 26th, high rainfall rates on top of already saturated soil led to flash flooding of many locations across west-central Illinois.
The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at May 26, 7:28 PM CST, 2 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL 828 PM CDT SUN MAY 26 2013 .DISCUSSION... ISSUED 823 PM CDT SUN MAY 26 2013 A FEW MORE COUNTIES HAVE BEEN PLACED IN THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH THIS EVENING...COVERING THE FAR NORTHERN AREAS TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE HEAVY RAINFALL MOVING THRU THIS EVENING. RAINFALL RATES WITH SOME OF THE MORE INTENSE CELLS HAVE RANGED FROM 1 TO 2 INCHES....WITH ADDITIONAL RAINFALL PUSHING IN FROM OUR NORTHWEST THIS EVENING. WARM FRONT JUST TO OUR SOUTH WILL SERVE AS THE FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT INTO MONDAY...AND THEN THE PLACEMENT OF THE WARM FRONT ACROSS THE AREA WILL BE CRITICAL TO WHERE STORMS MAY FIRE AGAIN TOMORROW AFTERNOON. MODELS HAVE BEEN INSISTING IN PUSHING THE FRONT TO OUR NORTH BY TOMORROW EVENING BUT IF STORMS ARE WIDESPREAD TONIGHT...THAT MAY TEND TO KEEP THE BOUNDARY FURTHER SOUTH ACRS THE AREA TOMORROW AFTERNOON. THAT MAY BRING THE THREAT FOR STRONG TO POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS IN PARTS OF OUR AREA IF WE CAN GET SOME SUNSHINE LATE TOMORROW MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS. HAVE MADE THE NEEDED ADJUSTMENTS TO THE GRIDS WITH THE EASTWARD EXTENSION OF THE WATCH AND HAVE MADE SOME TWEAKS TO THE POPS AND EVENING TEMPERATURES...SHOULD HAVE THE UPDATED ZONES OUT BY 845 PM. SMITH && .AVIATION... ISSUED 600 PM CDT SUN MAY 26 2013 COVERAGE OF TSRA OVER THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT INTO MONDAY AND AFFECT ON CIGS/VSBYS THE MAIN CHALLENGE THIS PERIOD. FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS DRAPPED TO THE SOUTH OF OUR AREA FROM NORTH CENTRAL MO INTO FAR SOUTHERN IL LATE THIS AFTERNOON. BANDS OF CONVECTION WERE OCCURRING ALONG AND NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY AND WILL TRACK ESE ACRS SOUTH CENTRAL IL THIS EVENING. FURTHER NORTH ANOTHER BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WAS OCCURRING AND TRACKING ESE AND IF IT HOLDS TOGETHER...AFFECT MAINLY OUR NORTHERN TAF SITES TONIGHT. IT STILL APPEARS THE MORE FAVORABLE TIME FRAME FOR WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND TSRA WILL BE LATER THIS EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. MAINLY LOWER VFR CIGS WILL BE RESTRICTED DOWN TO MVFR AT TIMES AND POSSIBLY SOME IFR CONDITIONS IN SOME OF THE HEAVIER SHOWERS AND TSRA. WILL SEE A TEMPORARY BREAK DEVELOP IN THE SHOWERS AFTR 16Z TOMORROW BUT WILL ADD A VCTS GROUP FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME NEW DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE BOUNDARY MONDAY AFTERNOON AS IT TRACKS SLOWLY NORTH INTO NORTH-CENTRAL IL. SFC WINDS WILL BE EASTERLY TONIGHT AT 10 TO 15 KTS...AND THEN START TO VEER MORE INTO THE SOUTHEAST ON MONDAY AS THE FRONT ATTEMPTS TO MOVE TO OUR NORTH BY LATER IN THE DAY...SPEEDS WILL RANGE FROM 10 TO 15 KTS ONCE AGAIN. SMITH && .PREV DISCUSSION... ISSUED 252 PM CDT SUN MAY 26 2013 PROLONGED RAINY PERIOD CONTINUES FOR CENTRAL ILLINOIS. THIS MORNING SHOWERS LINED UP AND REMAINED OVER ONE AREA STRETCHING FROM JUST SOUTH OF GALESBURG SOUTHEAST TO SHELBYVILLE. AREAS ALONG THIS AXIS RECD BTWN 2.5 AND 3.5 INCHES OF RAIN...WITH MANY OTHER LOCATIONS BTWN 1 AND 1.5. WITH MORE RAIN ON THE WAY...CONCERN INCREASES FOR FLASH FLOODING THREAT. MANY DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS IN THE SHORT TERM FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT AND EVOLUTION OF STORMS. WITH THE CONVECTIVE RISK AS THE EVENING GOES ON...WILL GO AHEAD AND ISSUE A FF WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL ILLINOIS THROUGH TOMORROW. BEYOND THE SHORT TERM...FORECAST INTO THE LONG TERM IS STILL A CONFLICT OF SYNOPTIC WAVE PATTERNS AT DAY 6/7. FORECAST OUT THAT FAR A BLEND...WITH CONSIDERATION GIVEN TO UNCERTAINTY. SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TOMORROW... PLENTY OF PRECIP IN THE CWA THIS MORNING SLOWLY BROKE INTO PIECES THIS AFTERNOON...THOUGH THE CONVECTIVE ELEMENT IS RETURNING WITH TS IN THE SW. RAP/RUC AND 4KM WRF SHOWING SOME MAJOR DIFFERENCES WITH THE EVOLUTION GOING INTO THE EVENING...THOUGH BOTH PRODUCING SOME RATHER EXTENSIVE QPF. WITH STREAK OF HEAVY PRECIP ALREADY FROM THIS MORNINGS STORMS FROM SOUTH OF GALESBURG TO SHELBYVILLE...AND ANOTHER 1 TO 2 INCHES POSSIBLE...AND A CONVECTIVE ELEMENT TO THE STORMS THIS EVENING POTENTIALLY BUMPING UP THOSE TOTALS LOCALLY...ISSUING A FF WATCH FOR AFFECTED COUNTIES. WOULD BE LESS CONCERNED DUE TO THE OVERALL DURATION OF THE EVENT...BUT 6HR FFG IN THE 2-2.5 INCH RANGE...AND THE CONVECTIVE ELEMENT ON A HOLIDAY WEEKEND TIP THE SCALE. LONGEVITY OF PRECIP TOMORROW EVENING VERY MUCH A FUNCTION OF LOCATION OF THE PASSING WARM FRONT...AND HAVE TERMINATED THE WATCH AT THIS POINT AT 00Z TOMORROW EVENING. HOWEVER...DEPENDING ON LOCATION OF THE BOUNDARY AND INTENSITY OF PRECIP...THIS MAY PROVE TO BE TOO CONSERVATIVE. IN ADDITION TO THAT...SOUTHERLY COMPONENT TO THE WIND BRINGING WARMER TEMPS IN THE REGION...WITH WARM AIR MOVING IN AT MIDLEVELS AS THE EAST SIDE OF THE UPPER RIDGE ERODES SOMEWHAT. WARM FRONT FORWARD PROGRESSION INTO THE REGION MAY BE TEMPERED QUITE A BIT BY RAIN COOLED AIR AS THE RAIN/CONVECTION GOES ON ALL DAY. VERY SIMILAR TO TODAY...AND HIGHS WILL BE REACHED AT VARYING POINTS THROUGHOUT THE DAY DEPENDING ON WHERE THE STORMS/CLOUDS ARE. IN SHORT...FORECAST IS PROBLEMATIC IN AN HOURLY SENSE TO SAY THE LEAST. THOUGH WARMER THAN TODAY...KEEPING THE TEMPS A BIT BELOW GUIDANCE...AND THE GEMNH HAS ACTUALLY PROVIDED A VERY POSSIBLE SOLUTION CONSIDERING THE GRADIENT FROM NE TO SW. LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY... DEPENDING ON THE INTERACTION BTWN COLD POOLS AND THE SFC BOUNDARY...LOCATION OF THE SFC WARM FRONT A BIT OF A QUESTION MARK ON TUESDAY MORNING. POPS REMAIN PREDOMINANTLY IN THE NORTH...INVOF THE BOUNDARY. FORECAST ACTUALLY DRY FROM TUES NIGHT THROUGH WED NIGHT. WESTERN TROF DIGS IN...AMPLIFYING THE WAVE PATTERN OVER THE CONUS AND LEAVING THE UPPER MIDWEST IN SWRLY FLOW...AND MUCH OF IL IN WEAK FLOW...IF ANY...UNDER THE BUILDING RIDGE. VERY WARM MIDLEVELS AND THE GUIDANCE STARTING TO REFLECT THE SITUATION A LITTLE BETTER. RETURNING POPS ON THURS NIGHT/FRI SHOWING MORE OF A DELAY THAN THE 00Z RUN...AS IT HAS THE PAST FEW CYCLES. A BIT MORE CONFIDENCE FOR THUR NIGHT...AND FRIDAY SPECIFICALLY...WITH A COLD FRONT PASSAGE FRI NIGHT. STILL A DEBATE AS THE GFS AND ECMWF QUITE DIFFERENT IN HANDLING THE LARGE SCALE WAVE IN RELATION TO THE SFC SYSTEM. && .ILX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
