AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
601 PM CST FRI NOV 18 2011

.DISCUSSION...
304 PM CST

THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WIND GUSTS HAVE COME DOWN A BIT PAST
COUPLE HOURS BUT SUSTAINED WINDS AT SEVERAL SITES CONTINUE TO RUN
ABOVE 30 MPH...THUS WILL CONTINUE THE WIND ADVISORY UNTIL EARLY THIS
EVENING. WINDS SHOULD CONTINUE TO TAPER AS WE HEAD INTO THE EVENING
AND AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER NORTHERN PLAINS BEGINS TO LIFT
NORTHEAST INTO CANADA AND FILLS. WINDS WILL STILL STAY SOMEWHAT
ELEVATED THROUGH THE NIGHT...AND SHOULD HELP PROP UP TEMPERATURES
SEVERAL DEGREES COMPARED TO PREVIOUS NIGHTS. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL
DROP CLOSE TO THE FREEZING MARK...EXCEPT NEAR 40 DOWNTOWN CHICAGO.

SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...THE CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO
LIFT NORTH INTO CANADA AND AWAY FROM THE CWA...WHILE ANOTHER AREA OF
LOW PRESSURE TAKES SHAPE OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS. WARM ADVECTION
AHEAD OF THE LOW WILL LEAD TO MODEST ASCENT ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
EARLY SATURDAY AFTERNOON. MOISTURE IS FAIRLY SHALLOW AND FORCING
BROAD...SO WILL MAINTAIN SLT CHC POPS WE HAVE GOING...BUT SUSPECT
WERE ONLY LOOKING AT SOME PATCHY LIGHT RAIN OR SPRINKLES DURING THIS
PERIOD. PRECIP CHANCES WILL INCREASE LATER IN THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING AS THE PWATS/MOISTURE TRANSPORT CONTINUES TO INCREASE AND
ASCENT BECOMES MORE FOCUSED. MODEL GUIDANCE SHOWS THIS OCCURRING
BEST OVER WISCONSIN...BUT STILL DESCENT ALONG THE NORTHERN TIER OF
COUNTIES OR SO IN ILLINOIS...SO TAPER POPS SOUTH ACROSS THE CWA.
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA WILL HAVE HIGHEST POPS
DURING THE LATE EVENING/EARLY OVERNIGHT PERIOD AS THE LOW LIFTS
NORTH OF THE AREA AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE INCREASES ALONG
A COLD FRONT SWEEPING THROUGH.

SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...THE COLD FRONT WILL STALL OUT SOUTH OF
THE CWA...WITH PERIODIC CHANCES OF PRECIP ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHERN
CWA IN WARM ADVECTION REGIME. MOST OF THE CWA WILL STAY DRY THROUGH
THIS PERIOD HOWEVER. TEMPERATURE NORTH OF THE FRONT WILL BE
COOLER...TOPPING OUT IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S SUNDAY AND MONDAY.

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...MODEST PACIFIC SHORTWAVE MOVES EAST
ACROSS THE PLAINS WITH SURFACE LOW DEEPENING IN RESPONSE. MODELS
HAVE SOMEWHAT SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN LOW TRACKS. GFS ENSEMBLE
MEAN TAKES LOW JUST SOUTH OF OHIO RIVER VALLEY...WHILE DGEX/ECMWF
TAKE A SLIGHTLY FARTHER NORTH TRACK. GEM SEEMS TO BE OUTLIER
BUILDING BROAD SURFACE HIGH OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST. MODEL CONSENSUS
SUGGESTS A DECENT CHANCE OF PRECIP ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST
PORTION OF THE OUTLOOK AREA AS DEFORMATION ZONE MOVES OVERHEAD.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...MODELS IN REASONABLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON
MAJOR SYNOPTIC FEATURES THIS PERIOD WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN
BEHIND AFOREMENTIONED LOW/FRONTAL ZONE AND SLIDING EAST OF THE CWA.
BY THURSDAY...SOUTHWEST FLOW BEGINS TO RAMP UP ACROSS THE AREA. GFS
AND ECMWF BOTH SHOWING H85 TEMPS INCREASING INTO THE 8-10C RANGE.
BUMPED UP MODEL CONSENSUS TEMPS A COUPLE DEGREES...BUT SUSPECT IF
THIS SOLUTION HOLDS TOGETHER...ECMWF TEMPERATURES...WHICH TYPICALLY
PERFORM BETTER IN ANONYMOUSLY WARM PATTERNS...MAY END UP HAVING
HANDLE ON TEMPS. ECMWF SUGGESTS UPPER 50S AND LOW 60S ACROSS THE
CWA. THE GFSBC EVEN SUGGESTS MID 50S OVER THE REGION. BMD

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...

WIND SPEEDS AND LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES HAVE BOTH PEAKED THIS
AFTERNOON AND SHOULD BEGIN A GRADUALLY IMPROVE AS THE EVENING RUNS
ON AND WE LOSE HEATING/SUN ANGLE. LOW PRESSURE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
STRONG WINDS ACROSS THE AREA IS EXPECTED TO LIFT NORTHEAST AND
FILL...AND EXPECT WINDS TO TAPER SOMEWHAT THIS EVENING...THOUGH
SHOULD REMAIN SOMEWHAT BREEZY THROUGH THE NIGHT. RH VALUES WILL
RECOVER BACK ABOVE 70 PERCENT THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. WIND
GUSTS RESUME ON SATURDAY...THOUGH NOT QUITE AS STRONG AS TODAY.
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL BE HIGHER THOUGH AS MOISTURE ADVECTION
RISES DEW POINTS INTO THE MID AND UPPER 30S SATURDAY.

//DISCUSSION...UPDATED 00Z...

STRONG GUSTY S-SSW WINDS DIMINISHED LATE THIS AFTERNOON AS SUN
GOT LOWER ON HORIZON AND SURFACE TEMPS STARTED TO FALL OFF
ALLOWING BEGINNING OF DECOUPLING OF SURFACE FROM 45-60KT SW WINDS
STILL OCCURRING WITHIN 1KM OF GROUND. THIS STRONG LOW LEVEL FLOW
TO PERSIST THROUGH THE NIGHT AS A SURFACE LOW MOVES GRADUALLY E
ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS SO WIND SHEAR GROUPS INCLUDED FOR
TONIGHT AND EARLY SAT MORNING.

A COLD FRONT TRAILING FROM LOW PRESSURE CURRENTLY OVER NORTHERN
MN MOVING E INTO ONTARIO WILL PUSH E ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR AND THE
NW HALF OF WI OVERNIGHT. THIS FRONT BECOMES QUASI STATIONARY
ACROSS WI AND IA SAT MORNING AS THE PLAINS LOW CONTINUES E AND NE
DURING THE DAY. THIS WILL ALLOW THE RIBBON OF HIGHER DEW POINT
AIR ALREADY EXTENDING FROM TX N NE TO FAR SE NE...NW MO AND FAR
SW WI TO CONTINUE TO ADVECT ACROSS THE MID MS VALLEY AND OVER THE
LOCAL AREA.

AS A LOW AMPLITUDE SHORT WAVE TRACKS ENE FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS
TO THE UPPER AND MID MS VALLEY THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW REACHES
THE NE IA...SW WI...NW IL AREA BY 00Z SUN. THE LOW CONTINUES ON
AND ACROSS THE UPPER GREAT LAKES AND THE TRAILING COLD FRONT
DROPS ACROSS FAR NE AND W CENTRAL IL DURING THE EVENING BUT WITH
MODELS SHOWING BEST FORCING PER OMEGA AND Q VECTOR PROGS TO BE N
OF THE LOCAL TERMINALS AND ONLY WEAKER FORCING ALONG AND A BIT
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT FURTHER S INTO NORTHERN IL AND FAR NW IN
HAVE ONLY PROB30 -SHRA AS ONLY EXPECT A SMATTERING OF SMALL LIGHT
SHOWERS WITH MODEL QPF FIELDS ONLY SQUEEZING OUT A COUPLE
HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH DURING SAT EVE LOCALLY.

.MARINE...
342 PM CST

HIGH WINDS AND WAVES WERE OBSERVED ALL ACROSS THE LAKE
TODAY...WITH THE STRONGEST OBSERVED OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF WHERE
STORM FORCE WINDS TO 50 KT WERE OBSERVED. THIS WAS DUE IN PART TO
A VERY TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION AS
WELL AS VERY STRONG WINDS JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE. ALTHOUGH THESE
WINDS ARE SLOWLY COMING DOWN LATE THIS AFTERNOON...EXPECT STORM
FORCE WINDS TO BE OBSERVED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE DIMINISHING TONIGHT. ALTHOUGH AFTER THIS
TIME...A PERIOD OF GALES COULD BE OBSERVED BEFORE WINDS DIMINISH
TO 30 KT. WINDS WILL BE SLIGHTLY LOWER TO START OFF SATURDAY BUT
WILL INCREASE ONCE AGAIN OUT OF THE SOUTH/SOUTHWEST AS ANOTHER
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES NORTHEAST OUT OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS.
ALTHOUGH GALE FORCE WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO
A PORTION OF SATURDAY NIGHT FOR THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE
LAKE...HAVE NOT ISSUED ANY HEADLINE AT THIS TIME. THIS DOES NOT
REALLY HAVE MUCH TO DO WITH CONFIDENCE...BUT MORE DUE TO THE FACT
THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL HEADLINES CURRENTLY OUT ALL WITH VARYING
END TIMES. WINDS WILL BE ON THE DOWNWARD TREND ON SUNDAY AS THIS
LOW DEPARTS TO THE NORTHEAST AND HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE
WEST. EXPECT THIS QUIETER WEATHER INTO THE START OF NEXT WEEK AS
THIS HIGH WILL LINGER ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES.
