AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
210 PM CST THU FEB 16 2006

.DISCUSSION...
FORECAST CONCERNS MAINLY IN THE SHORT TERM WITH THE TIMING OF THE
POTENT COLD FRONT ACRS CENTRAL IL THIS EVENING AND SVR POTENTIAL TO
ITS EAST...FOLLOWED BY STRONG GRADIENT WINDS TONIGHT USHERING IN THE
COLDEST AIR MASS OF THE YEAR SO FAR. NO MAJOR DIFFERENCES SEEN IN
MODELS TODAY SO WL GO WITH A NAM/GFS BLEND THRU SUNDAY. COLD WX TO
PREVAIL THRU THE WEEKEND WITH SOME MODERATION NOTED EARLY NEXT WEEK
AS THE H5 VORTEX SHIFTS NORTH AND EAST AWAY FROM THE MIDWEST.

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...
STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL BE EXITING THE FCST AREA RATHER QUICKLY
THIS EVENING WITH MODEL DATA SUGGESTING THE LAST OF THE CONVECTION
PUSHING INTO INDIANA SHORTLY AFTR 00Z. 18Z SOUNDING INDICATING
UNSEASONABLY HIGH CAPES OF AROUND 1100 J/KG AND 0-6KM SHEAR OF
+50KTS. SFC LOW...CURRENTLY ACRS CENTRAL IL THIS AFTN...SHOULD
RAPIDLY PUSH NORTHEAST INTO SRN LOWER MICHIGAN AND DEEPEN THIS
EVENING AS THE UPPER LEVEL ENERGY CATCHES UP WITH THE SFC SYSTEM.
LINGERING PRECIPITATION...WHICH MAY TAKE ON A MIX OF RAIN...FREEZING
RAIN AND SNOW EARLY SHOULD DEPART THE AREA QUICKLY AS MID LVL DRYING
RACES ACRS THE AREA THIS EVENING. AFTER THAT...STRONG GRADIENT WINDS
OF 35-45 MPH...WITH A FEW GUSTS AROUND 50 MPH AS SUGGESTED BY NAM
BUFKIT SOUNDINGS. WL CARRY WIND ADVISORY FROM THIS EVENING UNTIL
AROUND 09Z WEST OF I-57...AND UNTIL 12Z IN AREAS ALONG AND EAST OF
I-57 AS SYSTEM IS FCST TO RACE QUICKLY AWAY FROM THE REGION WITH
DIMINISHING WINDS SETTLING ACRS THE FCST AREA TOWARDS SUNRISE.

ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE INTO THE MIDWEST ON FRIDAY WITH 850
TEMPS DROPPING TO AROUND -15 DEG C BY LATE FRIDAY EVENING. WILL GO
WITH A BLEND BETWEEN THE MAV AND MET GUID WHICH WOULD GIVE US A
RANGE FROM AROUND 20 NW TO THE MIDDLE 30S SOUTHEAST. TEMPERATURE
FCST FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING A CHALLENGE AS MODELS
SUGGESTS THE CORE OF THE ARCTIC AIR WILL STILL BE CENTERED WEST OF
OUR AREA...HOWEVER GUIDANCE QUITE A BIT COLDER IN ALL OF OUR AREA
WITH OUR NW BELOW ZERO. STILL A QUESTION AS TO HOW MUCH HIGH AND MID
LVL MOITURE/CLOUDS WILL BE IN OUR AREA DURING THIS TIME FRAME...SO
TEMPS WILL BE LOWERED FROM PREVIOUS FCST...BUT NOT JUMPING
COMPLETELY ON THE CURRENT GUIDANCE. THE ACTUAL CENTER OF THE COLD
AIR MASS WILL SLIP INTO CNTRL IL SUNDAY MORNING SO THAT MAY BE OUR
COLDEST NIGHT...BUT AGAIN...HIGH LVL MOISTURE/CLOUDINESS STILL IN
QUESTION...SO WL TEND TO STAY WITH THE MAV/MET BLEND FOR SUNDAY
MORNING LOWS FOR NOW.

ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL DRIFT OFF TO OUR EAST ON SUNDAY ALLOWING
CLOUDS TO INCREASE FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST DURING THE DAY.
CHANCES FOR LIGHT SNOW HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED INTO THE SUNDAY NIGHT
TIME FRAME AS MODELS CONTINUING TO INDICATE A PROLONGED PERIOD OF
ISENT LIFT COINCIDING WITH RATHER LOW PRESSURE DEFICITS.

LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
A BLEND OF THE ECMWF AND GFS USED IN THE LONGER TERM FORECAST WITH
MODELS INDICATING THE COLD VORTEX AT 500 MB SHOULD LIFT NORTHEAST
WITH SOME MODERATION IN TEMPERATURES SEEN NEXT WEEK. SOME OF THE
ENSMEBLES SUGGEST THE MEAN LONGWAVE TROF MAY RETROGRADE NEXT WEEK
ALLOWING A MORE MODIFIED CP AIR MASS TO PREVAIL ACRS THE MIDWEST.
AFTER OUR CHANCES FOR LIGHT SNOW SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...DRY
WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO HOLD OVER THE REGION THRU THE REMAINDER OF
THE FCST PERIOD WITH TEMPERATURES ACTUALLY RETURNING TO OR JUST
ABOVE NORMAL IN THE TUE-THU TIME PERIOD.
