TEMPERATURES OVER THE LAKE IN THE MID TO UPPER 20S.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A GALE WARNING MEANS WINDS OF 34 TO 47 KNOTS ARE IMMINENT OR
OCCURRING. OPERATING A VESSEL IN GALE CONDITIONS REQUIRES

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
311 AM CST FRI DEC 5 2008

.DISCUSSION...
315 PM CST

FLURRIES AND ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS
EVENING...VERY COLD TONIGHT...

SHEAR AXIS EXISTS ALONG THE UPPER TROUGH STRETCHING FROM EASTERN
CANADA ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES TO THE CENTRAL ROCKIES. A MINOR SHORT
WAVE EMBEDDED IN THIS FLOW IS MOVING EAST ACROSS IOWA AND SOUTHERN
MINNESOTA. CLOUDS AND ACCOMPANYING SNOW FLURRIES AND A FEW SNOW
SHOWERS ARE MOVING ACROSS SOUTHERN WISCONSIN...AND NORTHWEST AND
NORTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS AT MID AFTERNOON AND WILL CONTINUE TO
SPREAD EAST. SKIES CLEAR LATER TONIGHT AS THE UPPER TROUGH AXIS
SINKS FURTHER SOUTHEAST. THIS...ALONG WITH A REINFORCEMENT OF COLD
AIR AND THIN SNOW COVER WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO FALL TO SINGLE
DIGITS ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA GIVEN THAT CURRENT READINGS ARE ONLY IN THE TEENS AND LOWER 20S.

MINOR ACCUMULATING SNOW LIKELY LATE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY
MORNING WITH SOME MODERATION IN TEMPERATURES...BUT STILL BELOW
NORMAL...

NEXT PRECIPITATION MAKER IS THE STRONG SHORT WAVE CURRENTLY MOVING
ACROSS SOUTHERN YUKON...TOPPING THE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE WESTERN
NORTH AMERICAN COAST. CLIPPER SYSTEM TO DROP SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE
CANADIAN ROCKIES OVERNIGHT AND REACH SOUTHERN MANITOBA BY FRIDAY
EVENING. AS THE SYSTEM APPROACHES THE UPPER GREAT LAKES THE LOW
LEVEL FLOW BACKS TO SOUTHWESTERLY. THESE SOUTHWEST WINDS AND
INCREASING CLOUD COVER DURING FRIDAY NIGHT SHOULD KEEP
TEMPERATURES FROM FALLING TOO FAR OVERNIGHT.

WHILE THE SURFACE LOW TRACKS ACROSS SOUTHERN LAKE SUPERIOR...THE
UPPER PENINSULA OF MICHIGAN AND NORTHERN LAKE HURON LATE FRIDAY
NIGHT AND SATURDAY...STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION AND RESULTING
ISENTROPIC LIFT IS INDICATED SOUTH ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL
ILLINOIS AND EXPECT GENERALLY 1 TO 3 INCHES TOTAL.

COLD AGAIN SATURDAY NIGHT...SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT...

THE UPPER TROUGH MOVES EAST TO OVER THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES AND
THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY BY SATURDAY EVENING WITH THE COLD FRONT
TRAILING FROM THE CLIPPER CROSSING THE NORTHERN LAKES PUSHING
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. THE RETURN TO DEEP NORTHWEST FLOW
QUICKLY BRINGS THE COLD AIR BACK TO REGION. TEMPERATURES WILL RUN
WELL BELOW NORMAL SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.

CHANCE OF MORE LIGHT SNOW ACCUMULATION MONDAY THROUGH MONDAY
NIGHT...

UPPER LOW CURRENTLY SOUTH OF THE ALEUTIANS IS PROGGED BY THE
LONGER RANGE MODELS TO DIG INTO THE CENTRAL ROCKIES DURING THE DAY
MONDAY WITH THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.
THE LOW IS FORECAST TO REMAIN WELL SOUTH OF THE REGION BUT A SETUP
SIMILAR TO WEDNESDAY DEPICTED WITH ANOTHER COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE
AND GOOD MID AND UPPER LEVEL FORCING.

COLD AGAIN TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

HIGH AMPLITUDE UPPER TROUGH MOVES EAST WITH AXIS FROM HUDSON BAY
SOUTH TO THE CENTRAL GULF OF MEXICO AT 12Z WEDNESDAY. THIS KEEPS
THE FRIDGE DOOR WIDE OPEN ALLOWING COLD AIR TO CONTINUE TO DRAIN
ACROSS CENTRAL CANADA AND THE MIDWEST.

TRS

&&

.AVIATION...

0600 UTC TAFS...THE REMAINDER OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS SHOULD BE
QUIET AS THE MID LEVEL IMPULSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS EVENINGS
LIGHT SNOW MOVES OFF TO THE EAST. LATEST SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS
RAPIDLY CLEARING SKIES OVER NRN ILLINOIS WITH ONLY FEW-SCT
EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER THE TERMINALS. VFR CIGS WILL PREVAIL AND
WINDS WILL GRADUALLY BACK FROM WNWLY TO SWLY.

THE MAIN CONCERN FOR TOMORROW WILL BE WINDS. WITH THE HIGH
PRESSURE SLIDING DOWN TO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND A
STRENGTHENING LOW DROPPING OUT OF CANADA AND ACROSS THE UPPER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BACK SOUTHWESTERLY...
STRENGTHEN AND BECOME QUITE GUSTY BY LATE MORNING. FREQUENT GUSTS
TO AROUND 25KT ARE EXPECTED. ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW WILL IMPACT THE
TERMINALS TOMORROW NIGHT. SNOW SHOULD MOVE INTO THE ROCKFORD AREA
BY ARND 04Z...BUT WILL BE PRECEDED BY LOWERING CEILINGS DURG THE
LATE EVENING HOURS. EXPECT THAT SNOWFALL WILL INCREASE IN
INTENSITY OVERNIGHT...DROPPING CIGS/VIS INTO IFR RANGES DURG THE
24-30HR FORECAST TIME FRAME. THE OTHER SITES WILL LIKELY SEE IFR
CONDITIONS DEVELOP...BUT NOT OCCUR UNTIL AFTER THE END OF THE
24-HOUR 06Z TAF PERIOD.

.MARINE...
310 AM CST

THE PARADE OF WEATHER SYSTEMS WILL CONTINUE TO BRING STRONG WINDS TO
LAKE MICHIGAN AT LEAST THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY. A BROAD SURFACE HIGH
FROM THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE MID MS RIVER VALLEY WILL
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT A WESTERLY SFC PRESSURE GRADIENT WITH WINDS OF
15 TO 25 KNOTS THIS MORNING. STRONG SURFACE PRESSURE FALLS WILL
DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS AS AN AREA OF
LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS NORTHERN MINNESOTA THIS EVENING. THE
PRESSURE FALLS WILL STRENGTHEN THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS LAKE
MICHIGAN...AND EXPECTING SOUTHWEST GALES TO 35 KNOTS TO DEVELOP
EARLY THIS EVENING ACROSS MOST OF LAKE MICHIGAN. AT THIS TIME WILL
CONTINUE THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THE NEARSHORE
WATERS...ALTHOUGH DUE TO THE STRENGTH OF THESE PRESSURE FALLS
MOVING ACROSS THE REGION...SOME SOUTHWEST GALE GUSTS CANNOT BE
RULED OUT EVEN FOR THE NEARSHORE WATERS TONIGHT. THE COLD FRONT
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL TRACK ACROSS LAKE MICHIGAN
SATURDAY MORNING BRINGING A POTENTIAL OF NORTHWEST GALES LATE
SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...ESPECIALLY GIVEN SFC
LOW WILL BE DEEPENING EAST OF LAKE MICHIGAN DURING THIS PERIOD. IN
TERMS OF HEADLINES...HAVE UPGRADED THE OPEN WATERS GALE WATCH TO A
GALE WARNING WHICH WILL BE IN EFFECT FROM EARLY THIS EVENING
THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. AS MENTIONED...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR
THE NEARSHORE WATERS WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT TONIGHT AND INTO
SATURDAY MORNING...AND HAVE ISSUED GALE WATCH FOR THE NEARSHORE
WATERS FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO SATURDAY EVENING FOR THE
POTENTIAL OF NORTHWEST GALES. HAZARDOUS WAVES FOR SMALL CRAFT WILL
THEN PERSIST INTO SUNDAY. WINDS AND WAVES WILL DIMINISH MORE
SUBSTANTIALLY LATER SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND INTO SUNDAY EVENING AS
A SFC RIDGE AXIS APPROACHES THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES.
