AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
958 PM CST MON NOV 14 2011

.DISCUSSION...
339 PM CST

A BRIEF GLIMPSE OF THE CONVECTIVE SEASON WAS SEEN THIS AFTERNOON
ACROSS THE SOUTHERN FORECAST AREA WHERE A FEW HOUR TORNADO THREAT
EXISTED. THE WARM SECTOR WAS FORCED BACK NORTHWARD BY A 1000 MB
LOW RIDING NORTHEAST ALONG IT AND DEVELOPED AN IMPRESSIVE WARM
FRONT WITH AROUND A 30 DEGREE DIFFERENCE ALONG IT. THIS HAS NOW
SHIFTED EAST OF THE AREA...AND UNLIKE RIGHT AFTER MANY COOL SEASON
SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL EVENTS...THE COLD AIR IS NOT FLOODING
IMMEDIATELY INTO THE REGION. BUT IT WILL TUESDAY WITH A COLD FRONT
PLUNGING THROUGH DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. THAT
IS THE PRIMARY FORECAST CHALLENGE...ALONG WITH HOW FAR THIS
FEATURE WILL BRING TEMPERATURES DOWN. AFTER THAT...THE EXTENDED
FORECAST IS THE NEXT CONCERN WITH FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN
LONG RANGE MODEL SOLUTIONS OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS.

TONIGHT...THE STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY UPPER JET THAT HELPED SUPPORT
SOME OF THE SEVERE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON REMAINS OVER THE AREA
THIS EVENING AND SHOULD OFFER AT LEAST CONTINUED SCATTERED HIGH
CLOUDS. THE WINDS WILL TURN SOUTHERLY IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT
SYSTEM...WHICH IS AN UPSTREAM CLIPPER ONE NEAR LAKE WINNIPEG LATE
THIS AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES MAY DROP FAIRLY QUICKLY THIS EVENING
BEFORE MORE OF A SLOW DECLINE THANKS TO THE GRADUALLY INCREASING
WINDS. LOW TEMPERATURES ARE LIKELY TO BE SLIGHTLY WARMER THAN
NORMAL.

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...RETURN FLOW AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL
BRING THE WARM AIR MASS IN AT THE RIGHT TIME OF DAY ON TUESDAY TO
MAXIMIZE ITS EFFICIENCY. HIGHS ON TUESDAY USING MIX-DOWN FROM THE
NAM MODEL OFFER HIGHS IN THE MID 50S NEAR THE WI BORDER TO LOWER
TO MID 60S IN THE SOUTH. WHILE WIND SPEED WILL INCREASE...THE LOW
IS TRACKING A FAR DISTANCE FROM HERE /OVER LAKE SUPERIOR/. SO THE
WIND WILL BE A FAR CRY FROM THE WARM SECTOR PUSHES WE HAD AREA WIDE
ON SUNDAY AND IN THE FAR SOUTH TODAY. SPEEDS OF 15 TO 20 MPH ARE
ANTICIPATED WITH SPORADIC HIGHER GUSTS. BEHIND THE FRONT...HIGH
TEMPERATURES ON WEDNESDAY WILL BE NEARLY 20 DEGREES COOLER THAN
TUESDAY WITH THE BOUNDARY LAYER HAVING SHARPLY COOLED. THE HEART
OF THE SHORT WAVE ENERGY IS FORECAST TO REMAIN NORTH OF THE
AREA...HOWEVER SOME OCCASIONAL CLOUD COVER CANNOT BE RULED
OUT. WIDESPREAD COLD AIR STRATOCU ARE NOT ANTICIPATED IN THE WAKE
OF THIS FRONT. SO WHILE CHILLIER...A PARTLY CLOUDY TO MOSTLY SUNNY
SKY IS EXPECTED FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. IN BETWEEN...WEDNESDAY
NIGHT TEMPERATURES STILL LOOK TO BE SOME OF THE COOLEST SO FAR OF
AUTUMN...WITH NEAR 20 DEGREE LOWS EXPECTED NEAR ROCKFORD TO
ROCHELLE. THE HIGH WILL NOT MOVE DIRECTLY OVER THE AREA...WHICH
WOULD SUPPORT TEENS GIVEN -8C TO -11C 850 MB AIR.

FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND...FORECAST MODELS ARE STILL TRENDING
TOWARDS A GENERAL TROUGH DEVELOPMENT OVER THE WESTERN U.S. BY
LATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. WHAT THE MODELS HAVE TRENDED TOWARDS IS
A SHORTER DURATION OF RETURN FLOW FOR THE MIDWEST...WITH LOW
PRESSURE AND A COLD FRONT FORECAST TO MOVE MORE RAPIDLY EAST INTO
THE IMMEDIATE REGION SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. THE HPC EXTENDED
FORECAST DISCUSSION POINTS TOWARDS THE FURTHER UPSTREAM RIDGE IN
THE PACIFIC AS DICTATING THE DEPTH AND PROGRESSION OF THIS TROUGH.
NEEDLESS TO SAY...QUITE A LARGE AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY EXISTS
DURING THIS PERIOD. THE GFS ENSEMBLE 2M TEMPERATURE SPREAD DURING
SUNDAY INTO MONDAY IS QUITE LARGE /6 TO 8 STANDARD DEVIATIONS/.
WITH FOCUS ON THE SHORT TERM TODAY...HAVE GENERALLY GONE WITH A
BLEND OF THE FORECAST AND LONG RANGE MODELS SINCE ALL HAVE SHOWN A
QUICKER SHIFT. DESPITE THE BLENDING WITH THE INHERITED
FORECAST...THIS STILL COOLS TEMPERATURES NEARLY TEN DEGREES FOR
SUNDAY THAN GOING FORECAST. THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS...AND POSSIBLY
THUNDER...APPEARS FOCUSED ON SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...BUT
COULD SEE THAT SPILLING INTO SUNDAY IF MODELS WANT TO SLOW THIS
AMPLIFIED PATTERN ONCE AGAIN.

VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD...WITH MAIN
FOCUS ON LIGHT SOUTH WINDS BECOMING SOUTHWEST THIS EVENING...
AND GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS DEVELOPING MID-MORNING TUESDAY BEFORE
SHIFTING WEST LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON WITH STRONG COLD FROPA.

SURFACE LOW PRESSURE...SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT AND LINE OF
THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO SETTLE WELL SOUTHEAST OF TERMINALS INTO
THE OHIO VALLEY EARLY THIS EVENING. MORE SUBTLE SURFACE TROUGH
MOVING INTO WESTERN ILLINOIS AT THIS HOUR...WITH WINDS BECOMING
LIGHT SOUTH LESS THAN 10 KNOTS IN ADVANCE OF THIS FEATURE. THIS
TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH EAST ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS THROUGH
THE MID-LATE EVENING HOURS...RESULTING IN A GRADUAL SHIFT IN WIND
DIRECTION TO SOUTHWEST OR WEST-SOUTHWEST AS TROUGH IS BECOMING
WEAKER AND LESS WELL-DEFINED WITH TIME.

WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST AND INCREASE TUESDAY
MORNING AS A STRONG UPPER DISTURBANCE DIGS SOUTHEAST FROM THE
NORTHERN PLAINS. DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST
WILL TIGHTEN THE GRADIENT ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...WITH FORECAST
SOUNDINGS INDICATING SOUTH-SOUTHWEST GUSTS INCREASING TO AROUND
25 KNOTS BY MID-DAY. WHILE THE DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE CENTER WILL
PASS WELL TO THE NORTH NEAR LAKE SUPERIOR...A STRONG TRAILING COLD
FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE TERMINALS DURING THE MID AND LATE
AFTERNOON HOURS. FROPA CURRENTLY EXPECTED AROUND 20Z FOR KRFD AND
AROUND 22Z ACROSS CHICAGO TERMINALS. WINDS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO
GUST FROM THE WEST BEHIND THE FRONT FOR A FEW HOURS BEFORE
GUSTS DIMINISH AFTER SUNSET.

RELATIVELY DRY LOW/MID LEVEL AIR IN PLACE AHEAD OF THIS FRONT...
