.UPDATE...
Issued at 1110 AM CDT Sun Jun 16 2019

16z/11am surface analysis shows a nearly stationary frontal
boundary draped along the I-72 corridor. Despite presence of
forcing mechanism, the atmosphere remains quite stable across the
northern two-thirds of the KILX CWA, with latest mesoanalysis
indicating 1500-2000J/kg of MLCAPE along/south of I-70 where
partial sunshine has allowed temperatures to climb into the lower
80s. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop within the
increasingly unstable airmass across the SE today...with locations
from I-72 northward seeing little more than an isolated shower.
High temperatures will range from the upper 70s far northwest
around Galesburg...to the middle to upper 80s far southeast at
Flora/Lawrenceville.

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
ISSUED AT 400 AM CDT Sun Jun 16 2019

Add Clay, Richland and Lawrence counties into the flash flood
watch through 7 am this morning. Cancelled the flash flood watch
for Mason, Logan, DeWitt, Cass, Menard, Scott, Morgan and Sangamon
counties as moderate to heavy rains have shifted southeast of this
area early this morning. An additional 1 to 2 inches of rain is
expected portions of east central and especially southeast IL with
locally higher amounts possible along and south of highway 50. A
short wave over southeast IL causing this convection will exit by
mid morning with convection becoming more isolated as the morning
progresses.

A frontal boundary over northern IL/IN early this morning will sag
southward into northern CWA late this morning and into central IL
this afternoon, reaching near I-70 by sunset. Airmass gets
quite unstable this afternoon over southern CWA with CAPES rising
to 2000-3500 j/kg by 21Z/4 pm south of I-72, where showers and
thunderstorms will likely redevelop from I-72 south. 0-6 km bulk
shear is 30-40 kts in southeast IL early Sunday afternoon and
gradually weakens to 20-30 kts by late Sunday afternoon. SPC day1
outlook has marginal risk of severe storms se of a Danville to
Shelbyville line this afternoon until sunset this evening for
mainly damaging winds but isolated hail possible too. Also a
marginal risk of excessive rainfall today and tonight over se half
of CWA where pcpn water values are 1.5 to 1.9 inches from I-72
south. Convection chances will diminish from I-72 south later this
evening and overnight as instability weakens. Warm and humid
today with highs in the mid 80s, with lower 80s northern CWA. Lows
tonight range from the upper 50s and lower 60s nw CWA and 64 to
68F over southeast IL.

.LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday)
ISSUED AT 400 AM CDT Sun Jun 16 2019

Weak surface low pressure moves into central MO Mon afternoon and
while frontal boundary lingers between I-72 and I-70 on Monday.
SPC day2 outlook continues a marginal risk of severe
thunderstorms Monday afternoon into Mon evening from Danville to
Taylorville southeast where 5% risk of damaging winds and large
hail again. The instability/CAPES are not quite as high Mon
afternoon over southeast IL, though the bulk shear values are
higher at 35-45 kts. Southeast half of CWA also has a marginal
risk of excessive rainfall Monday afternoon into Mon night.
Northern/NW CWA to again be drier on Monday and Monday night. Highs
Monday in the upper 70s in central IL and lower 80s in southeast
IL.

Have smaller chances of convection on Tuesday with chance pops in
southeast IL closer to a lingering frontal boundary. The marginal
risk of severe storms and excessive rainfall has shifted south/se
of CWA on Tue and Tue night. Though some instability lingers se
CWA with CAPES of 1000-1700 j/kg though weak bulk shear values
less than 20 kts. Highs Tue mostly in the lower 80s.

A stronger short wave trof is projected to track east over the MO
valley Tue night and into IL by Wed evening. This will increase
chances of showers/thunderstorms overnight Tue night into Wed with
likely pops on Wed, and over southeast IL Wed evening. Instability
looks weak on Wed though moderate to heavy rains will be possible
especially Wed afternoon, and into Wed evening over Wabash river
valley. Highs Wed in upper 70s/lower 80s, warmest in southeast IL.

Looks like a lull in convection on Thu and Thu night with dry
conditions or slight pops in forecast then. Some upper level
ridging into IL on Friday to bring summerlike temps and humidity
levels back to the area, similar to today, with highs in the 80s
on Fri and Sat. Yet another short wave trof to move into the
Midwest and bring more showers and thunderstorms late this week,
though some timing differences between models with its arrival.
GEM waits until Sat to bring qpf to CWA while Ecmwf has qpf
northern CWA Fri night, and GFS is wetter with qpf across CWA Fri
night. Instability parameters and bulk shear values increase again
by Sat afternoon and could bring more chances of strong to severe
storms along with moderate to heavy rains. Models show upper
level ridge still near IL next weekend into Mon/Jun 24 which would
keep summertime warmth and humidity around, along with daily
chances of showers and thunderstorms.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon)
Issued at 119 PM CDT Sun Jun 16 2019

MVFR ceilings will gradually lift to VFR and scatter over the next
couple of hours. Dry conditions are expected at the central
Illinois terminals this afternoon as scattered convection develops
further south along/south of I-70. MVFR ceilings will return
late tonight into Monday morning...with forecast soundings
suggesting MVFR at KBMI by 06z...then further south to KSPI/KDEC
by around 12z. Winds will be N/NW at KPIA/KBMI this afternoon, and
light/variable further south at the remaining sites.
