.DISCUSSION...
338 AM CDT

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING EAST ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL AND
NORTHEAST ILLINOIS THIS MORNING. OUR FLASH FLOOD MONITOR PROGRAM
SHOWS THE RAINFALL THAT HAS FALLEN IN THE LAST THREE HOURS STILL
BELOW FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE. THE FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE IS THE AMOUNT
OF RAIN NEEDED DURING A CERTAIN TIME FRAME TO PRODUCE FLASH
FLOODING. WE EXPECT RAIN TODAY SO WE WILL KEEP THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH
FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

AN EAST WEST CROSS SECTION OF RADAR REFLECTIVITY DATA SHOWS THE
BANDED NATURE OF THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THIS PATTERN
SUGGEST FRONTOGENESIS. THE LOCALLY RUN WRF SHOWS THIS AS HIGH VALUES
OF NEGATIVE OMEGA (UPWARD LIFT) IN A CYCLIC PATTERN ALONG OUR
NORTHERN COUNTIES. THERE WERE PRESSURE SURFACE PRESSURE FALLS AT 08
UTC OVER NORTHEAST ILLINOIS...A LOW LEVEL JET SEEN ON THE PROFILER
DATA AT 850 SEEN ENTERING EASTERN IOWA AND A TROUGH AT 700 MB SEEN
ON THE ON THE PROFILER DATA AND ACARS SOUNDING INVERSION AT ORD AT
756 UTC. THESE SHOW THAT THE WARM FRONT IS MOVING NORTH. THIS IS
ALSO ENOUGH EVIDENCE OF FORCING TO PRODUCE THE THUNDERSTORMS THIS
MORNING. THE NATIONAL WRF AND OUR LOCAL WRF SHOW THAT THESE
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TODAY. AN UPPER AIR TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO
ILLINOIS BY MIDNIGHT TUESDAY MORNING. WE EXPECT MORE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. THERE WILL BE PERIODS OF
HEAVY RAIN TONIGHT AND MONDAY. THIS AS THE FRONT STALLS OVER THE
AREA AND MID TO LOW LEVEL JET STREAK MOVES ACROSS SOUTHERN WISCONSIN
AND NORTHERN ILLINOIS. THIS IS SEEN ON THE GFS MODEL FORECAST.

FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK...A LARGE TROUGH OVER NORTHERN PLAINS AND
SOUTHERN CANADA WILL MOVE THROUGH NORTHERN GREAT LAKES THURSDAY.
THEN THE FLOW ALOFT WILL BE ZONAL WITH SOME SHORT WAVE TROUGH MOVING
THROUGH. WE WILL KEEP THE CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION FOR THE END OF
THE WEEK.

THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST FOR TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY WERE ADJUSTED
BECAUSE OF THE RAIN AND CLOUDS FOR THOSE DAYS. WE LOWER THE HIGHS A
LITTLE SINCE THE LAST FORECAST.

.AVIATION...
650 AM CDT

SHORT WAVE THAT MOVED FROM IA INTO NORTHERN IL OVERNIGHT NOW MOVING
OFF TO THE E WITH COOLING CLOUD TOPS AND INCREASING COVERAGE OF SHRA
AND TSRA ACROSS NORTHERN IN INTO W CENTRAL OH. A TEMPORARY DECREASE
IN CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY EXPECTED INTO MID OR LATE MORNING UNTIL TROF
MOVING ACROSS NW IA AND S CENTRAL MN MOVES ESE ACROSS NORTHERN IL
WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF SHRA AND TSRA. SEVERAL HOUR LONG BOUT OF
MODERATE TO HEAVY RA FM SOUTHERN MN ACROSS SOUTHERN WI TO SOUTHERN
LOWER MI DURING THE NIGHT ALONG BAROCLINIC ZONE. APPEARS THAT THIS
ZONE HAS SHIFTED A BIT SOUTHWARD DUE TO OUTFLOWS OF RAIN COOLED AIR
AND THIS PUTS TERMINALS UNDER EXPECTED AXIS OF TSRA LATE AFTERNOON
AND TONIGHT WITH MID LEVEL TROF LIFTING NE FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS.
WIDSPREAD MVFR AND AREAS OF IFR CIGS JUST TO N WHERE MAIN RA AREA
WAS LOCATED LAST NIGHT AND EXPECT TO SPREAD SOUTHWARD ACROSS TEH
TERMINALS DURING THE MID AND LATE AFTERNOON AS MORE EXTENSIVE AND
CONTINUOUS RA DEVELOPS. WARM FRONT HAS BEEN LIFTING INTO CENTRAL IL
BUT STRONG RIDGE OF HI PRES FROM ONTARIO ACROSS THE LOWER LAKES WILL
KEEP IT FROM ADVANCING INTO NORTHERN PARTS OF IL OR IN MAINTAINING
E-SE SURFACE WINDS.

LARGE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE FROM ONTARIO TO THE MID ATLANTIC COAST
MOVES SLOWLY EAST TODAY DECREASING THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS
LAKE MI...THOUGH OFFSET SOMEWHAT BY DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE OUT IN
ALBERTA AND THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS. COASTAL OBS FROM THE IL AND SE
WI SHORES STILL REPORTING GUSTS OF 20-25 KTS EARLY THIS MORNING.
PREVAILING SPPEDS ACROSS THE S PORTION OF THE LAKE SHOULD DROP TO
10-20 KT RANGE DURING THE MORING WITH THE SLIGHT SLACKENING OF THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT. WARM FRONT EXTENDING FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS SE
ACROSS THE LOWER OH VALLEY WILL LIFT NORTHWARD TODAY AND MAY PUSH AS
FAR N AS THE SOUTH TIP OF THE LAKE...BUT E TO SE WINDS WILL PREVAIL
TONIGHT AND THROUGH MON WITH HIGH PRESURE SLOWLY DRIFTING E TO
QUEBEC AND NEW ENGLAND BY MON NIGHT AND THE LOW MOVING OUT INTO
CENTRAL CANADA AND THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THIS KEEPS A MODERATELY
TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE UPPER LAKES. RAIN AND EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE PREVALANT ACROSS THE S PORTION OF THE LAKE
TODAY THROUGH MONDAY A LONG AN N OF THE WARM FRONT.
