AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO IL
626 PM CST TUE FEB 5 2008

.DISCUSSION...
329 PM CST

PLENTY OF CONCERNS FOR THIS FORECAST...WITH WINTER STORM AND HEAVY
SNOW POTENTIAL AND FLOOD POTENTIAL ACROSS THE SOUTH.

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY THIS AFTERNOON INDICATES UPPER TROUGH MOVING
INTO THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS WITH WELL DEFINED SHORT WAVE
MOVING ACROSS NORTH TEXAS/OKLAHOMA. AT 19Z...SURFACE LOW WAS
LOCATED ACROSS SOUTHWEST MISSOURI WITH STRONG SURFACE PRESSURE
FALLS ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI. STRENGTHENING LOW LEVEL FLOW IN
ADVANCE OF THIS UPPER TROUGH AND STRONG ISENTROPIC LIFT/LOW LEVEL
THETA-E ADVECTION HAS PROMOTED EXPANSIVE PRECIP SHIELD FROM
EASTERN IOWA INTO CENTRAL ILLINOIS. THIS PRECIP WILL OVERSPREAD
NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA THIS EVENING. DISSIPATING
DRY MID LEVEL LAYER WILL LIKELY ALLOW FOR ENOUGH COOLING ALOFT TO
KEEP PRECIP MAINLY IN THE FORM OF SNOW ACROSS FAR NORTHERN ILLINOIS
TONIGHT...WITH A MIX RAIN/SLEET/SNOW FURTHER SOUTH IN THE INTERSTATE
88 CORRIDOR..TRANSITIONING TO ALL RAIN SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80. DID
MAINTAIN MENTION OF THUNDER ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH WITH ENOUGH
ELEVATED INSTABILITY BASED ABOVE LOW LEVEL INVERSION TO WARRANT A
MENTION OF THUNDER.

IN TERMS OF EVOLUTION OF THIS SYSTEM TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...GFS
SEEMS TO HAVE COME AROUND TO WRF/NAM IDEA OF A SLOWER DEEPER
SOLUTION WITH GFS NOW ALSO INDICATING SECONDARY SURFACE LOW
DEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT IN RESPONSE TO STRONG MID/UPPER LEVEL FORCING.
GIVEN THIS DEEPER SLOWER IDEA...PRECIP TYPE SHOULD REMAIN ALL RAIN
ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST INTO BENTON COUNTY INDIANA. ACROSS THE CHICAGO
METRO AREA...A MIX OF RAIN/SLEET/SNOW WILL BECOME ALL SNOW BY LATE
EVENING. STRENGTH OF LOW LEVEL WARM LAYER SHOULD ALSO SUPPORT PERIOD
OF FREEZING RAIN THIS EVENING SOUTH OF THE CHICAGO METRO AREA BEFORE
PRECIP CHANGES TO ALL SNOW OVERNIGHT. SNOW WILL LIKELY BECOME HEAVY
LATER EARLY THIS EVENING GIVEN STRENGTH OF ISENTROPIC ASCENT...WITH
PRESENT INDICATIONS THAT A TEMPORARY LULL IN PRECIP COVERAGE IS
POSSIBLE MAINLY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80 LATE TONIGHT WITH DRY SLOT
MOVING INTO THE AREA...BUT EXPECTING HEAVY SNOW TO CONTINUE FROM
NORTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS INTO THE NORTHWEST SUBURBS OF CHICAGO AS
DEFORMATION BAND BECOMES TO TAKE SHAPE. DEFORMATION BAND WILL TRACK
WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA TOMORROW MORNING...WITH SNOW
DECREASING IN INTENSITY DURING THE AFTERNOON TOMORROW. HAVE MADE
ONLY MINOR TWEAKS TO GOING SNOWFALL FORECAST. STORM TOTAL SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS OF AROUND A FOOT OR MORE APPEAR TO BE A POSSIBILITY
ACROSS FROM FAR NORTH CENTRAL RFD INTO THE NORTHERN WHERE
DEFORMATION FORCING/MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS WILL BE MAXIMIZED.
AMOUNTS SHOULD TAPER SOUTHWARD WITH GENERALLY 5 TO 9 INCHES FROM
CHICAGO TO MENDOTA...AND 2 TO 5 INCH ACCUMULATIONS FROM MUCH OR
NORTHWEST INDIANA INTO THE PONTIAC AREA. DID ADD ONE ROW OF COUNTIES
SOUTHWARD OF THE ORIGINAL WINTER STORM WARNING TO INCLUDE
WILL/GRUNDY/KENDALL/LA SALLE COUNTIES. DID ALSO EXPAND WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY SOUTHWARD TO INCLUDE NEWTON AND JASPER COUNTIES IN
NORTHWEST INDIANA. WINDS WILL ALSO BECOME A CONCERN LATER TONIGHT
WITH GUSTS TO 30 MPH POSSIBLE CREATING BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW AND
CERTAIN TRAVEL HEADACHES FOR THE MORNING COMMUTE.

IN ADDITION TO THE HEAVY SNOW...ADDITIONAL TOTAL LIQUID AMOUNTS OF 1
TO 2 INCHES ACROSS SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA WILL
LIKELY CREATE HYDROLOGY ISSUES AND FLOODING OF STREAMS AND LOW LYING
AREAS. WILL CONTINUE WITH FLOOD WATCH FOR AREAS SOUTH OF INTERSTATE
80 THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING.

OTHERWISE...WEAK UPPER RIDGING WILL BUILD INTO NORTHERN ILLINOIS
TOMORROW NIGHT ALTHOUGH DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS THAT LOW CLOUDS WILL
LINGER THROUGH THE NIGHT. MIN TEMP FORECAST TOMORROW NIGHT BE HIGHLY
DEPENDING ON THIS SKY COVER...AND IF ARE ABLE TO DEVELOP SOME BREAKS
WITH NEW SNOW COVER MAY HAVE TO ADJUST MINS DOWN A BIT. DID MAINTAIN
CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW THURSDAY WITH NEXT SHORT WAVE TROUGH DIGGING
INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS.

IN TERMS OF EXTENDED...ONLY CHANGE MADE WAS TO DROP WEEKEND
TEMPERATURES WITH MODELS NOW INTO BETTER AGREEMENT IN ARCTIC AIR
MASS OVERSPREADING THE AREA ON SATURDAY.

.AVIATION...
625 PM CST

RE 00Z TAFORS...UPPER TROUGH AXIS EARLY THIS EVENING OVER THE
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS WITH MAIN MID LEVEL LOW OVER
SOUTH CENTRAL KS AND A COUPLE OF SHORT WAVES LIFTING NORTHEAST OUT
OF THE UPPER TROUGH. FIRST SHORT WAVE IS MOVING OVER SOUTHEAST IA
AND WEST CENTRAL IL WITH A SECOND ONE MOVING ACROSS CENTRAL MO.

LINE BETWEEN LIQUID AND MIXED/SOLID PRECIPITATION CURRENTLY FROM
MKG TO ORD TO DVN WITH ACARS SOUNDINGS FROM ORD SHOWING WARM LAYER
UP TO +2C BETWEEN 900 AND 800 MB. DEEPER COLD AIR STARTS TO GET PULLED
DOWN ACROSS NORTHERN IL THIS EVENING ON INCREASING LOW LEVEL FLOW
AS MAIN SURFACE LOW AND 850 MB CIRCULATION MOVE NORTHEAST INTO
CENTRAL IL. THIS WILL RESULT IN PRECIPITATION TRANSITION LINE
SHIFTING FURTHER SOUTH WITH TIME TONIGHT.

MODELS SUGGEST TWO PERIODS OF MORE INTENSE SNOWFALL. FIRST
STARTING MID TO LATE EVENING AS MO SHORT WAVE CONTINUES
NORTHEASTWARD AND DEVELOPING COUPLED UPPER JET STRUCTURE MOVES
OVER THE REGION. SECOND MAX IN VERTICAL VELOCITY FROM MID MORNING
TO EARLY AFTERNOON WED AS UPPER LOW CROSSES THE MS RIVER.

WOULD EXPECT SURFACE WINDS TO BACK WITH THE SURFACE LOW MOVING
EAST NORTHEAST ACROSS IL TONIGHT BUT WILL REMAIN OUT OF THE
NORTHEAST THROUGH MIDDAY WED AS THE LOW REFORMS IN IND WED MORNING
CLOSER TO THE MID AND UPPER LOWS. ONCE THE MID-UPPER LOW REACHES
THE IND-MI BORDER LATER IN THE AFTERNOON THE WINDS WILL TURN TO
THE NORTH.

TRS

&&

.MARINE...
308 PM CST

A LOW WILL MOVE FROM OKLAHOMA TO EASTERN INDIANA TONIGHT. THIS
LOW WILL INTENSIFY BECAUSE THERE IS A STRONG UPPER AIR TROUGH
MOVING INTO THE LOWER GREAT LAKES. THIS LOW WILL CAUSE THE WIND TO
REACH GALE FORCE LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. BY
MIDNIGHT EARLY THURSDAY MORNING THE LOW IS FORECAST TO BE OVER
NORTHERN PENNSYLVANIA. THE WIND WILL BECOME NORTHWEST AND DECREASE
IN SPEED THURSDAY.
