A WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT CDT TONIGHT. 

DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE OVER WEST CENTRAL LOWER MICHIGAN WILL
CREATE A VERY TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT BACK ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS. 
AS A RESULT...SUSTAINED WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH SHOULD DEVELOP
AROUND MID DAY...CONTINUING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
HOURS. GUSTS UP TO 45 MPH ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS
NORTH OF I-70...WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS EXPECTED FROM I-74
NORTH LIKE AT BLOOMINGTON AND CHAMPAIGN.

MANY OF THE MAIN INTERSTATE CORRIDORS IN THE STATE LIKE I-55 AND
I-57 WILL BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED. WINDS WILL BE OUT OF THE
WEST...CREATING A VERY STRONG CROSS WIND TO NORTH-SOUTH ORIENTED
THOROUGHFARES. HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES ARE ESPECIALLY AT RISK WHEN
TRAVELING ALONG THESE ROUTES. ALL VEHICLES SHOULD USE EXTRA
CAUTION.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
319 AM CDT THU MAY 11 2006

.DISCUSSION...
SHOWERS MOSTLY CONFINED TO THE ERN HALF OF THE STATE THIS MORNING AS
THE LOW DEEPENS OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST.  WAVE COMING INTO THE NRN
PLAINS WRAPPING UP AND AROUND MASSIVE AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER ON
SATELLITE IMAGERY THIS MORNING OVER THE GREAT LAKES.  SFC LOW MOVING
THRU SRN MI AT 06Z...DRAGGING FRONT INTO THE APPALACHIANS AND ACROSS
THE WRN GULF STATES.  SOME OF THE FORECAST ISSUES REMAIN THE
SAME...THE LOW MOVING INTO THE MIDWEST AND ITS DEEPENING/STALLING
OVER THE REGION.  GOING FORECAST IS LOW POP SATURATED...AND THERE
HAS BEEN VERY LITTLE TO CHANGE IN THE GOING FORECAST.  ONE THING
THAT HAS BEEN ADDED IS THE WIND ADVISORY FOR AREAS MAINLY NORTH OF
INTERSTATE 70 TODAY.  MODELS COMING INTO SLIGHTLY BETTER
AGREEMENT...AND GOING WITH A BLEND.

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY...
MAIN SHORT TERM ISSUE WILL BE WINDS TODAY.  DEEPENING PRESSURE
GRADIENT ACROSS THE REGION WILL BRING WINDS UP TO ADVISORY CRITERIA
LATER THIS MORNING...ESPECIALLY TO THE NORTH AND EAST.  CURRENT
SATELLITE TRENDS ALSO HINT AT THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME CLOUD BREAKS
WEST OF INTERSTATE 155.  IN PLACES WHERE THE SUN MAY GET THRU...SOME
DEEPER MIXING MAY TRANSFER DOWN A MID LEVEL JET.  BUFKIT SOUNDINGS
ARE POINTING TO MIXING DOWN WINDS IN EXCESS OF 45KTS...WITH A MIXING
LEVEL HEIGHT UP TO 700MB.  THIS WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED THROUGHOUT
THE SHORT TERM.  OTHER THAN THAT...UPPER LEVEL LOW PROGGED TO MOVE
INTO THE REGION AND CONTINUE TO SPIN OVER THE SRN TIP OF LAKE
MICHIGAN AND THE IL/IN BORDER THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...BRINGING AN
ONGOING CHANCE FOR POPS.  PRECIP CHANCES ARE TWO-FOLD...CLOSE TO THE
LOW WHERE PLENTY OF LIFT CAN KEEP WRAP AROUND MOISTURE AND SRLY
MOISTURE INFLUX PUMPING OUT SHOWERS.  THE OTHER PRECIP IS JUST
OUTSIDE OF THE WRAP AROUND...WHERE DRY AIR BEING PULLED INTO THE WRN
HALF OF THE SYSTEM WILL BREAK OUT THE CLOUDS LONG ENOUGH FOR JUST A
TOUCH OF INSOLATION AND SOME MORE DIURNAL CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY.

LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
MORE OF THE SAME WHILE THE LOW FINALLY WOBBLES A BIT...RETROGRADING
TO THE NW FOR THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEKEND...BEFORE WEAKENING
SLIGHTLY AND OPENING UP TO ANOTHER WAVE MOVING ACROSS THE NRN TIER
OF THE CONUS MIDWEEK. SURFACE WISE...CLOUDY CONDITIONS LIKELY TO
CONTINUE...WITH MINIMAL DIURNAL SWING...EXCEPT FROM TIME TO TIME IN
THE WEST WHERE THE BREAK OUT OF CLOUDS IS MORE LIKELY AWAY FROM THE
LOW.  FORECAST SATURATED WITH LOW POPS IN PROXIMITY TO THE LOW...AND
WILL BE TWEAKED WITH MORE DETAIL WHEN TIME GROWS SHORTER.
