AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
347 AM CDT WED OCT 27 2010

.DISCUSSION...
346 AM CDT

MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES HAVE PERSISTED EARLY THIS MORNING ACROSS NORTHERN
IL/NORTHWEST IN. SFC LOW REMAINS CENTERED JUST NORTH OF MINNESOTA
THIS MORNING WITH MUCH COLDER AIR FUNNELING IN BEHIND IT. EARLY THIS
MORNING ACROSS THE DAKOTAS...PORTIONS OF WESTERN MINNESOTA LGT SN
WAS BEING REPORTED WITH TEMPS IN THE LOWER 30S. FOR OUR REGION LLVL
FLOW REMAINS SOUTHWESTERLY...AND WILL GRADUALLY TURN WESTERLY THRU
THE AFTERNOON HOURS. THE MAIN CONCERN FOR TDY CONTINUES TO RESIDE
ARND WINDS. GUIDANCE HAS CONTINUED TO SUPPORT A WELL MIXED
ENVIRONMENT FOR MUCH OF THE REGION...WITH A MIXED LYR TAPPING WINDS
NEAR 750MB. WITH THIS SCENARIO AND PROGGED WINDS OF 60-70KTS AT THAT
HEIGHTS...FILTERING TO THE SFC 80-85 PERCENT WOULD SUPPORT WIND
GUSTS UP TO 60MPH. THUS HAVE ADJUSTED THE WIND ADVISORY TO A HIGH
WIND WARNING FOR THE NORTHER TWO TIERS OF COUNTIES. EARLY THIS
MORNING SPORADIC REPORTS ACROSS THE REGION OF WIND GUSTS NEAR
60MPH HAVE BEEN OBSERVED. FEEL THE HIGHEST GUSTS WILL BE FOCUSED
ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES DUE TO PROXIMITY OF
SHORTWAVE. FURTHER SOUTH WIND GUSTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE BETWEEN 40
AND 50 MPH. OVERALL TODAY COULD EASILY END UP WITH HIGHER WIND
GUSTS DUE TO CONTINUED COLD AIR ADVECTION...ALLOWING FOR AN
EFFICIENT MIXED LAYER. WRAP AROUND MOISTURE SHUD PROVIDE P-CLOUDY
SKIES BY THIS AFTN...WHICH WILL HELP TO KEEP TEMPS DOWN IN THE UPR
50S/LOW 60S.

TONIGHT...
TROUGH AXIS SLOWLY PIVOTS EAST ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION...WITH
AN 850MB THERMAL TROUGH OF -4 TO -6 DEG C SLIDING OVERHEAD TONIGHT.
MESOSCALE SOLUTIONS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST MID-LVL MOISTURE PIVOTING
THRU THE REGION AS WELL...COMPLICATING THE OVERNIGHT LOW FORECAST.
SKIES SHUD BECOME MOSTLY CLOUDY EARLY THIS EVE...AND REMAIN THRU
MUCH OF THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. WIND GRADIENT WILL GRADUALLY RELAX
OVERNIGHT...HOWEVER NOT ANTICIPATING WINDS TO COMPLETELY DECOUPLE.
WITH THE CURRENT SCENARIO...FEEL TEMPS SHUD BOTTOM OUT IN THE MID
30S TO NEAR 40 CLOSE TO THE LAKE MICHIGAN SHORELINE. IF SKIES CAN
THIN MARGINALLY...TEMPS MAY BE ABLE TO COOL FURTHER.

THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...
TROUGH AXIS CONTINUES TO LIFT NE AWAY FROM THE REGION...ALLOWING
HEIGHTS TO GRADUALLY RISE. ENSEMBLE MEMBERS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE
MINIMAL SPREAD AMONGST SOLUTIONS...WHICH FAVORS A HIGH CONFIDENCE IN
THE THUR/FRI/SAT PERIOD. SFC ANTI-CYCLONIC FLOW SLIDES EAST FROM THE
CENTRAL PLAINS THUR AFTN TOWARDS THE GREAT LAKES REGION...WHICH SHUD
SUPPORT DRY WX FOR THE CWFA THUR/FRI AND PSBLY INTO SAT...HOWEVER
ECMWF HAS HINTED AT A SHORTWAVE APPROACHING FROM THE WEST WITH A
WEAK BNDRY SAT NGT HEADING INTO SUN. THERMAL TROUGH REMAINS OVERHEAD
THUR...WITH TEMPS ARND -2 TO -4 DEG C AT 850MB. THE CHALLENGE FOR
THUR AFTN SURROUNDS HIGH TEMPS. WITH DIFFLUENT FLOW PUSHING IN FROM
THE WEST...AND MARGINAL MID-LVL MOISTURE...THE ATMOS WOULD SUPPORT
TEMPS IN THE 50S. HOWEVER...SFC RIDGE AXIS APPEARS TO REMAIN
CENTERED WELL WEST OF THE GREAT LAKES THUR...WHICH SHUD PROVIDE COLD
AIR ADVECTION TO PERSIST UNDER A LGT NORTHERLY FLOW. CURRENT
THINKING IS THAT TEMPS WILL STRUGGLE TO GET OUT OF THE 40S
THUR...THEN BEGIN A GRADUAL WARMING TREND FRI/SAT INTO THE 50S.
ANTI-CYCLONIC FLOW APPEARS TO HOLD ONTO THE REGION THRU
SAT...HOWEVER RIDGE CENTER SHUD DRIFT SE OVER THE TENN VALLEY SAT.
THIS MAY ALLOW TEMPS TO WARM FURTHER INTO THE UPR 50S PSBLY LOW 60S.
WITH DRY WX BOTH THUR/FRI...HEAT CAPACITY SHUD BE REDUCED AND
MINIMAL ATMOS MOISTURE AVAILABLE TO LIMIT SFC HEATING. THUS
CONFIDENCE HAS INCREASED THAT SAT TEMPS COULD EASILY TOUCH 60
DEGREES IF NOT THE LOW 60S.

SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
ENSEMBLE BEGIN TO DIVERGE SUN/MON/TUE WITH SEVERAL MEMBERS
ADVERTISING UPSTREAM RIDGE AMPLIFYING INTO THE CANADIAN PRAIRIES
WITH TROUGH HOLDING ACROSS THE NORTHEAST UNITED STATES. ECMWF
SOLUTION PUSHES A WEAK WAVE EAST OF THE ROCKIES INTO THE GREAT LAKES
REGION SUN...HOWEVER IT APPEARS TO HAVE MINIMAL MOISTURE AND
WEAKENING AS IT ENCOUNTERS ELEVATED MID-LVL HEIGHTS. FOR NOW HAVE
PLACED A SLT CHC FOR PRECIP SUN...HOWEVER CAN EASILY SEE THIS GOING
DRY WITH LATER SOLUTIONS. OVERALL TEMPS IN THE EXTENDED PERIODS
APPEAR TO BE SLIGHTLY SUB-SEASONAL IN THE 50S WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN
THE 30S.

.AVIATION...

//ORD AND MDW CONCERNS...UPDATED 08Z...

WIND SPEEDS/GUSTS PRIMARY CONCERN THRU THE PERIOD.

GUSTS SLOWLY DIMINISHING AT SOME LOCATIONS...BUT GUSTS AT ORD
REMAIN IN THE 25-30KT RANGE. STILL EXPECT GUSTS TO CONTINUE TO
DIMINISH THRU SUNRISE AND THUS WILL CONTINUE LLWS. WIND SPEEDS
AND GUSTS EXPECTED TO INCREASE STEADILY AFTER SUNRISE. CMS

//DISCUSSION...UPDATED 06Z...

LOW PRESSURE OVER NORTHERN MINNESOTA WILL SLOWLY LIFT NORTHEAST
ACROSS ONTARIO TODAY AS IT VERY SLOWLY WEAKENS. THE GRADIENT ALSO
WILL VERY SLOWLY WEAKEN. HOWEVER...STRONG WINDS REMAIN ALOFT AND
WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES...THRU AT LEAST MID AFTERNOON...DEEP
MIXING SHOULD BRING THESE STRONGER WINDS AND GUSTS TO THE SURFACE.
IN ADDITION...COLD AIR ADVECTION IS MUCH STRONGER TODAY AND THIS
SHOULD INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY OF MIXING THESE STRONG WINDS TO THE
SURFACE. SO HAVE BUMPED GUSTS UP TO 45 KTS THRU MUCH OF THE DAY
AND HIGHER GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE. BKN/OVC DECK WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE
TERMINALS LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING AND THIS WILL KEEP
THE LOW LEVELS MIXED INTO THE EVENING...SO WHILE GUSTS WILL
DIMINISH SOME...STILL QUITE BREEZY THRU MID/LATE EVENING.

ONE MINUTE DATA CURRENTLY SHOWING GUSTS TO 30 KTS AT ORD AND 25
KTS AT MDW. EXPECT GUSTS TO SLOWLY DROP INTO THE LOWER TO MID 20
KT RANGE...AND PERHAPS DIMINISH ALL TOGETHER AT SOME SITES...THRU
SUNRISE SO CONTINUED LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR MENTION...BUT IF GUSTS
STAY IN THE 25-30KT RANGE...MAY NEED TO REMOVE LOW LEVEL WIND
SHEAR WITH OVERNIGHT AMENDMENTS. CMS

//ORD AND MDW CONFIDENCE...UPDATED 08Z...

MEDIUM CONFIDENCE ON WIND SPEEDS/GUSTS AND LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR.
CMS

//OUTLOOK FOR ORD/MDW FOR 12Z THURSDAY-12Z MONDAY...UPDATED 06Z...

THURSDAY...VFR. WINDS FINALLY BELOW 25 KTS.
FRIDAY...VFR.
SATURDAY...VFR.
SUNDAY...VFR.
MONDAY...VFR.

.MARINE...
311 AM CDT

DEEP LOW PRESSURE WHICH HAS BEEN MEANDERING ACROSS THE REGION OVER
THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS FINALLY REACHED ITS LOWEST PRESSURE LATE
LAST EVENING...WITH LATEST OBSERVATIONS CONTINUING TO INDICATE
THAT THIS LOW IS NOW FILLING. ALTHOUGH SLOW...ANTICIPATE THIS TO
BE THE TREND OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS THIS LOW SLOWLY MOVES
NORTHEAST THROUGH ONTARIO AND QUEBEC. DESPITE THIS LOW
WEAKENING...ITS CENTRAL PRESSURE IS STILL RATHER STRONG PROVIDING
A PERSISTENT TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE ENTIRE LAKE. THIS
COINCIDING WITH STRONG WINDS ALOFT AND MUCH COLDER AIR...WILL
CONTINUE STRONG WINDS OVER THE LAKE TODAY AND THURSDAY.

CURRENT SOUTHWEST STORM FORCE WINDS WILL CONTINUE TODAY AND THEN
BEGIN TO DIMINISH TO GALES THIS EVENING. ALTHOUGH...GALES WILL
STILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH A PORTION OF THE DAY ON THURSDAY BEFORE
DIMINISHING. THEN...A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD ACROSS THE
CENTRAL PLAINS AND THEN REACH THE GREAT LAKES REGION BY FRIDAY.
THUS...HELPING WINDS TO CONTINUE TO DIMINISH.
