AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

136 AM EDT SAT OCT 25 2008

.AVIATION...
SOME CHANGES TO TAFS TO GET PRECIP DOWN TO JUST SOME SPRINKLES OR
LIGHT SHOWERS AT KSBN FOR FIRST HOUR OR 2 AND SIMILAR SETUP AT
KFWA S BACK EDGE OF BAND OF SHOWERS QUICKLY MOVING EAST NORTHEAST.
HAVE NOT BEEN ANY SIG IMPACTS TO TAF SITES OTHER THAN BRIEF DROPS
TO LOWER END MVFR IN CIGS. KVPZ SHOWING SOME IFR CIGS BUT LOOKS TO
MAYBE JUST CLIP KSBN. LOOKING UPSTREAM IN NORTHERN ILLINOIS SOME
LOWER CIGS AS WELL BUT GENERAL TRANSLATION SEEMS TO BE MORE NE
THAN E. WILL GO WITH A TEMPO AT KSBN FOR 2000 FT CIGS FOR A FEW
HOURS BUT THEN VFR AT BOTH SITES AND WILL MONITOR TRENDS.
OTHERWISE LOOKS LIKE MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS. STILL SOME CONCERN IF
WE CAN GET SOME HEATING THIS AFTERNOON WITH COLD CORE PASSING
OVERHEAD THAT SOME SHOWERS COULD DEVELOP...BUT COVERAGE AND
PROBABILITIES NOT LOOKING VERY WELL SO WILL HOLD OFF. OUTSIDE THIS
TAF PERIOD...WINDS WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE IN THE 9 TO 12Z TIME
FRAME AT KSBN AS STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES IN.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 401 PM EDT FRI OCT 24 2008/

SHORT TERM...
DEEP...WARM CONVEYOR BELT FINALLY PUSHING EWD AS DEEP CYCLONE OVR
IA BEGINNING TO DUMBBELL EWD. CONCERNS FOR THIS EVENING LIE
W/DVLPG SECONDARY AREA OF FRONTOGENESIS AND SIG DPVA UPSTREAM OVR
ERN IA/WRN IL ATTM AND RESULTANT EXPANSION OF PCPN SHIELD EWD
W/TIME. PRIOR TO THAT AREA PIVOTING EWD INTO CWA THIS
EVENING...MID LVL TROUGH AXIS STILL GENERATING SHRA WITHIN MID LVL
DRY SLOT AND THAT WILL CONT IN A SCT SENSE UNTIL MID TO LATE
EVENING BFR MORE EXPANSIVE AREA OF PCPN MOVES IN.

OTHERWISE DEEP MID LVL TO ACCELERATE EWD IN RESPONSE TO STG
SECONDARY IMPULSE DIGGING RAPIDLY SEWD OUT OF WRN CANADA SAT NIGHT
AND WHICH LOOKS TO HERALD QUITE A STRONG GRADIENT WIND EVENT SUNDAY.

LONG TERM...
STRONG COLD FRONT ON TAP FOR SUNDAY AFT/EVE WITH MODELS CONTINUING
TO FLOP AROUND ON EXACT TIMING WHICH HAS IMPLICATIONS ON HIGH
TEMPS FOR SUNDAY. FAVORED SLOWER 12Z GFS VS QUICKER NAM AND ECMWF
WHICH RESULTS IN SIGNIFICANTLY COLDER AIR HOLDING OFF LONG ENOUGH
FOR HIGHS TO RISE NEAR 60 SE COUNTIES. TEMPERED HIGHS SOMEWHAT AS
A NUDGE TOWARDS FASTER MODELS BUT STILL WENT ABOVE ETA/NAM MOS
GUIDANCE.

CONCERN FOR SUNDAY REVOLVES AROUND WINDS WITH NAM/GFS PROGGING
40-50KT WINDS AT H92-H85 WHILE BUFR SOUNDINGS INDICATE THIS LAYER AT
NEAR DRY ADIABATIC LAPSE RATE BY AFTERNOON. THIS SHOULD PROVIDE
EXCELLENT MOMENTUM TRANSFER AND POTENTIAL FOR 25-30KT SUSTAINED
WINDS GUSTING 45KT LEADS TO CONSIDERATION OF HIGH WIND WATCH HWVR
WITH THIS BEING A 4TH PERIOD WATCH AND CONTINUING TIMING ISSUES
AMONG MODELS WILL DEFER TO NIGHT SHIFT. SOUNDINGS ARE QUITE DRY WITH
ONLY SHALLOW MOISTURE PRESENT...PWATS AOB HALF INCH...AND NAM
DOESNT GENERATE ANY FRONTAL QPF AT ALL OVER CWA. WITH SUCH STRONG
LL CONVERGENCE ALONG BNDRY CANNOT DISCOUNT CHANCE FOR NARROW BAND
OF FRONTAL PCPN AND WILL MAINTAIN LOW CHC POPS WITH PASSAGE. WILL
ALSO MAINTAIN GOING POPS FOR EARLY MONDAY WITH SOME LL MOISTURE
INDICATED AND IMPRESSIVE COOLING ALOFT.

GFS NOW BRUSHES THE AREA WITH COLDER ON WED RESULTING IN A DROP IN
TEMP GUIDANCE.  WILL HOLD OFF A RUN BEFORE CHASING THIS TOO FAR AND
NUDGE TEMPS DOWN A TOUCH AS LATE WEEK RIDGE IS SLOWER TO BUILD INTO
THE AREA.  ONCE IT DOES SOUTHERLY LL FLOW WARMS CWA BACK TO 50S BY
THE END OF THE WEEK.

AVIATION...
