Area forecast discussion, Nov 1, 5:23 AM CST, 2 hours 52 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LINCOLN IL
523 AM CST SUN NOV 1 2009

.DISCUSSION...
ISSUED 225 AM CST SUN NOV 1 2009

BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND PRECIPITATION WILL BE THE RULE THIS
WEEK...AS NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN REMAINS IN PLACE.

07Z SURFACE CHART SHOWS HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE EXTENDING FROM THE
GREAT LAKES TO TEXAS...PROVIDING CLEAR AND COLD CONDITIONS ACROSS
CENTRAL ILLINOIS. FURTHER WEST...LOW PRESSURE IS ANALYZED OVER
SASKATCHEWAN...WITH WARM FRONT EXTENDING S/SE INTO WESTERN IOWA
AND NORTHERN MISSOURI. ALOFT...FAST ZONAL FLOW IS NOTED ACROSS THE
CONUS...WITH NUMEROUS WEAK WAVES EMBEDDED WITHIN THE FLOW.

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY

WEAK SHORT-WAVE RIDING ALONG APPROACHING WARM FRONT IS CURRENTLY
SPREADING MID-LEVEL CLOUDS ACROSS IOWA AND FAR NORTHERN MISSOURI.
AS THIS WAVE QUICKLY TRACKS EASTWARD...CLOUDS WILL PUSH INTO
CENTRAL ILLINOIS EARLY THIS MORNING. MODEL RH PROFILES HANDLE THE
PRESENT CLOUD FIELD QUITE WELL...BUT APPEAR TO BE A BIT TOO SLOW
IN SPREADING CLOUD COVER EASTWARD. SATELLITE LOOPS SHOW LEADING
EDGE OF CLOUDS REACHING THE I-55 CORRIDOR BY 12Z...THEN FURTHER
EAST TO THE INDIANA BORDER BY 15Z. AFTER A PERIOD OF MOSTLY CLOUDY
SKIES DURING THE MORNING...INCREASING AMOUNTS OF SUNSHINE WILL BE
NOTED THIS AFTERNOON AS WEAK SUBSIDENCE DEVELOPS IN THE WAKE OF
THE DEPARTING WAVE. PARTIAL SUNSHINE AND LIGHT SOUTHERLY WINDS
WILL HELP PUSH HIGH TEMPERATURES INTO THE MIDDLE 50S.

NEXT SHORT-WAVE CURRENTLY OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES WILL QUICKLY
TRACK INTO THE GREAT LAKES LATE TONIGHT...PUSHING A COLD FRONT
TOWARD ILLINOIS. MODELS STILL DISAGREE WITH EXACT TIMING OF
FROPA...WITH NAM-WRF LAGGING BEHIND THE FASTER GFS BY ABOUT 6
HOURS. WITH PROGRESSIVE ZONAL FLOW PATTERN...THINK FASTER IS THE
WAY TO GO...SO WILL CONTINUE TO SIDE WITH THE GFS FOR THIS
FORECAST PACKAGE. FRONT WILL PUSH INTO NORTHWEST ILLINOIS BY 12Z
MON...THEN WILL REACH THE OHIO RIVER BY 00Z TUE. MOISTURE WILL BE
EXTREMELY LIMITED AHEAD OF THE BOUNDARY...THANKS TO BLOCKING HIGH
PRESSURE RIDGE ACROSS THE DEEP SOUTH. IN ADDITION...BEST UPPER
DYNAMICS/LIFT WILL REMAIN WELL TO THE NORTH ACROSS SOUTHERN
CANADA. AS A RESULT...AM VERY SKEPTICAL ABOUT PRECIP CHANCES ON
MONDAY. WILL HOLD ON TO SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE NORTH...BUT
EVEN THESE MAY NEED TO BE DROPPED.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN BEHIND THE FRONT MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY
TUESDAY...BRINGING CLEARING SKIES AND COOLER TEMPS. AS HIGH
SHIFTS OFF TO THE EAST...NEXT WAVE RAPIDLY APPROACHES FROM THE
W/NW BY TUESDAY EVENING. GFS/ECMWF IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH
SPEED AND STRENGTH OF SYSTEM...WITH MAIN ENERGY ONCE AGAIN
SKIRTING BY TO THE NORTH. HAVE INTRODUCED SLIGHT CHANCE POPS
ACROSS THE NORTHWEST KILX CWA TUESDAY NIGHT...THEN FURTHER EAST
ALONG AND NORTH OF THE I-74 CORRIDOR ON WEDNESDAY.

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

00Z 1 NOV MODELS HAVE NOW COME INTO MUCH BETTER AGREEMENT CONCERNING
STRONGER WAVE TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK. ECMWF HAS MADE A MAJOR
SHIFT AND NOW LOOKS QUITE SIMILAR TO THE GFS. BOTH MODELS INDICATE
A SLIGHTLY MORE AMPLIFIED WAVE DROPPING THROUGH THE NORTHERN
PLAINS ON THURSDAY...THEN INTO THE GREAT LAKES/OHIO VALLEY BY
FRIDAY. WITH STRONGER UPPER DYNAMICS PASSING THROUGH THE REGION
AND A BETTER FETCH OF MOISTURE COMING OFF THE GULF...THINK THIS
SYSTEM HAS THE BEST SHOT AT GENERATING LIGHT SHOWERS ACROSS
CENTRAL ILLINOIS. HAVE THEREFORE INCLUDED LOW CHANCE POPS THURSDAY
NIGHT. ONCE THIS FEATURE QUICKLY MOVES OFF TO THE EAST...A RETURN
TO COOL AND DRY CONDITIONS CAN BE ANTICIPATED FOR FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY.
