AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

145 PM EDT MON SEP 6 2010

.AVIATION...
AFTER A GRAZING OF A WEAK THUNDERSHOWER AT KSBN...THE REMAINDER OF
THE AFTERNOON AND LIKELY NEXT 24 HOURS...LOOKS TO BE DRY. RADAR
TRENDS SHOW AN SLOWLY DECAYING AREA OF SHOWERS WORKING ACROSS
ILLINOIS. REMAINS POSSIBLE THIS COULD COME IN THIS EVENING...BUT
LOW CONFIDENCE TO INCLUDE IN TAFS. WINDS TO THE WEST HAVE BEEN
INCREASING BUT HAVE BEEN A BIT SLOW TO RESPOND ACROSS THE AREA
WITH CLOUD COVER PREVENTING SOME OF THE MIXING. DO FEEL THAT WINDS
WILL PICK UP SOMEWHAT BUT HAVE TONED THEN DOWN INTO THIS EVENING.
HAVE CONTINUED WITH LLWS MENTION DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS
ADVERTISE LL FLOW REALLY GETTING CRANKING JUST ABOVE THE SFC WITH
POTENTIAL FOR 50 KT OR GREATER WINDS. MAIN ISSUE WITH FROPA WILL
BE INCREASING WINDS IN ITS WAKE. HAVE CONTINUED SOMEWHAT BREEZY
BUT BEST WINDS LOOK TO BE MAINLY OUTSIDE THIS TIME FRAME AND
HIGHEST GUSTS MAY REMAIN CLOSER TO THE LAKE.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 448 AM EDT MON SEP 6 2010/

SHORT TERM...
STRONG LOW LEVEL WAA ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING NORTH OF SUBTLE
WARM FRONT FROM NRN MO TO SRN IOWA WAS RESULTING IN HIGH BASED
CONVECTION OVER IA/IL WITH ISOLATED TSTMS NOW EXTENDING INTO EXTREME
NW PORTION OF OUR CWA. AS THIS SHRTWV MOVES EAST THIS MORNING AND
WARM FRONT LIFTS NE...MAY SEE SCT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
CURRENTLY OVER IA/IL MOVE INTO OUR AREA. ALTHOUGH DRY SUB-CLOUD
AIR KEEPING PRECIP AMOUNTS WITH THIS CONVECTION SMALL... SOME
STRONG WINDS HAVE BEEN REPORTED NEAR THE THUNDERSTORMS WITH
INVERTED V SOUNDING SUPPORTING TRANSPORT TO SURFACE OF STRONG
WINDS ALOFT. STILL EXPECT CLOUD COVER TO DIMINISH ACROSS OUR AREA THIS
AFTN AS FRONT MOVES NE OF THE AREA WITH STRONG GRADIENT/DIURNAL
MIXING ALLOWING FOR HIGHS IN THE L-M80S.

STRONG GRADIENT WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA TONIGHT KEEPING BOUNDARY
LAYER SOMEWHAT MIXED. GOING MINS IN 60S GENERALLY AT OR A BIT
ABOVE WARMEST OF LATEST MOS FCSTS AND STILL SEEM REASONABLE. GULF
MOISTURE REMAINS CUT-OFF DESPITE THE STRONG S-SW FLOW IN OUR AREA
AS FRONT MOVES THROUGH ON TUESDAY, HWVR, MODELS STILL SUGGEST WK
INSTABILITY AND CONVERGENCE WILL DEVELOP OVER ERN SECTIONS IN THE
AFTN AS FRONT MOVES THROUGH SO FCST A CHC OF TRW IN THIS AREA.
STRONG MIXING... ESPECIALLY IN THE CAA REGIME BEHIND THE CDFNT
WILL RESULT IN A WINDY DAY WITH GUSTS GRDLY DIMINISHING TUE NIGHT.
SKIES SHOULD CLEAR OVER SWRN PORTION OF THE AREA TUE NIGHT WITH
LAKE EFFECT CLOUDS EXPECTED NE 1/2. GIVEN CROSS LAKE FETCH AND LOW
INVERSION FCST... LAKE EFFECT SHOWERS NOT EXPECTED IN OUR AREA
BEHIND THIS SYSTEM. JUST MINOR ADJUSTMENTS MADE TO TEMPS TUE/TUE
NIGHT WITH HIGHS STILL EXPECTED IN THE 80S AND LOWS IN THE 50S.

LONG TERM...
WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...THE MAIN CHALLENGES THIS PERIOD ARE LATE
IN THE WEEK AND WEEKEND WITH THE TIMING AND ASSOCIATED WEATHER OF A
SECOND SHORTWAVE EJECTING INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST. FAVOR THE
OPERATIONAL ECMWF THAT CONTINUES TO HANDLE THIS SYSTEM BETTER THAN
THE GFS. THE ECMWF CONTINUES TO TREND SLOWER WITH THIS SYSTEM AND IS
FARTHER WEST THAN THE GFS WITH THE LARGE ANTICYCLONE OVER EASTERN
CANADA. THIS PATTERN WILL ALLOW AN EXTENDED COOL AND DRY FETCH INTO
THE FORECAST AREA FROM THE EAST AND NORTHEAST OUT OF CANADA. DUE TO
SOME LINGERING UNCERTAINTIES...HAVE KEPT THE CHANCE FOR STORMS OVER
WESTERN AREAS...BUT IF THE EC IS CORRECT...FRIDAY WILL BE DRY. HAVE
TRENDED DOWN TEMPS MUCH OF THIS PERIOD ACCORDING TO THESE
EXPECTATIONS.

MARINE...
WITH BRISK SOUTHERLY WINDS TODAY... WAVES LOOK A BIT MARGINAL FOR
MODERATE RISK OF RIP CURRENTS IN LAPORTE SURF ZONE AREA...BUT
GIVEN IT WILL BE A WARM DAY AND A HOLIDAY WITH LIKELY LOTS OF
BEACH GOERS...DECIDED TO ERR ON SIDE OF CAUTION AND MAINTAIN
CONTINUITY WITH THE FCST. OTRWS...ANOTHER DANGEROUS PERIOD
UPCOMING NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS FOR ANYONE VENTURING INTO STILL WARM
LAKE MICHIGAN WATERS OR ONTO THE PIERS AS BRISK WINDS
TODAY/TONIGHT VEER TO MORE ONSHORE FLOW AND STRENGTHEN TO GALES
TUE/TUE NGT BEHIND THE CDFNT WITH WAVES BUILDING TO AROUND 10FT
DURING THE GALE.

AVIATION...
SCT SHRA/TS DVLPG OVER IA/NW IL EARLY THIS MORNING IN STRONG WAA
REGIME NE OF SFC WARM FRONT EXTENDING FM SW IA-NE MO WITH SOME SHRA
MOVG AS FAR EAST AS NE INDIANA AND SRN MI. THUS FAR MOISTURE
APPEARS TOO LIMITED TO SUPPORT TS IN OUR AREA BUT SOME TS STILL
PSBL BEFORE SHRA MOVE OUT OF THE AREA LATER THIS MORNING AS WARM
FRONT LIFTS NORTH OF THE AREA. BEHIND THE WARM FRONT BRISK
SOUTHERLY WINDS EXPECTED IN WARM SECTOR TODAY. WINDS WILL
DIMINISH THIS EVE WITH LOSS OF HEATING/MIXING...BUT STRONG WINDS
ALOFT MAY RESULT IN SOME LLWS.
