.DISCUSSION...
343 AM CDT

TODAY...
EARLY THIS MORNING AN MCS DEVELOPED OVER EASTERN NEBRASKA AND
EXPANDED EAST INTO IOWA...SLOWLY PROPAGATING NORTHEAST. THE GROWTH
OF THIS COMPLEX HAS FOLLOWED A BOUNDARY THAT STRETCHED EAST THROUGH
SOUTHERN IOWA...AND CONTINUED EAST INTO CENTRAL IL/IN. THE STRONGEST
FORCING REMAINED WEST OF THE CWFA ACROSS NEBRASKA/IOWA...WHERE THE
NOCTURNAL 850MB JET WAS BETWEEN 30 AND 40 KT FROM THE SOUTHWEST. THE
STRONGEST SHEAR ZONE REMAINS FOCUSED ALONG A NEBRASKA TO NORTHERN
IL...THEN WITH A VEERING WIND TURNS INTO CENTRAL INDIANA. UNDERNEATH
THIS LAYER THE HIGHEST VALUES REMAIN OVER THE PLAINS STATES. THIS
MAY AID IN SOME BOWING SEGMENTS EARLY THIS MORNING UNDER THE MCS.

FURTHER EAST LLVL FLOW WAS SLIGHTLY WEAKER...FROM THE
SOUTH/SOUTHEAST. AREAS OF FOG HAS ALSO DEVELOPED EARLY THIS
MORNING ACROSS NORTHEAST IL/NORTHWEST IN...AND SOME POCKETS OF
DENSE FOG WAS NOTED CLOSER TO THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT. THIS WAS DUE
IN PART TO A WEAK ONSHORE FLOW. EXPECT AS MID/HIGH LVL CLOUDS PUSH
OVERHEAD...THE COVERAGE AND STRENGTH OF THE FOG WILL DISSIPATE.
THUS SHORTLY AFTER DAWN FOG SHOULD BECOME CONFINED TO THE MARINE
ENVIRONMENT.

500MB HEIGHTS STEADILY INCREASE OVER THE CWFA THROUGHOUT THE
DAY...HOWEVER THE CHALLENGE IS WILL THIS STEER THE CONVECTION
FURTHER NORTH INTO WISCONSIN OR WILL OUR NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWFA
BE IMPACTED BY ADDITIONAL CONVECTION THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON. IT
APPEARS THE PUSH WILL BE STRONG ENOUGH THAT THE HIGHEST PROBS FOR
CONVECTION WILL BE FURTHER NORTH THIS AFTN...OR OVER OUR NORTHERN
CWFA EXTENDING FURTHER NORTH INTO WISCONSIN. NONETHELESS CONTINUE TO
SHOW A CHANCE FOR SHRA/TSRA FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE CWFA.

THE MAIN CONCERN FROM THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO BE WIND...BASED
ON THE DEEP LAYER SHEAR CURRENTLY MENTIONED. HOWEVER...LARGE HAIL
CANNOT BE RULED OUT WITH A FEW SUPERCELLS OR STRONG UPDRAFTS THAT
CAN OVERCOME THE FREEZING LEVEL OF NEARLY 15KFT AGL. ADDITIONALLY
THIS STORMS COULD BE EFFICIENT PRECIP PRODUCERS AS THEY WILL
TRAVERSE AN ATMOSPHERIC RIVER WITH PWAT VALUES OVER 1.5 INCHES.
VECTORS ARE RATHER LENGTHY...WHICH COUPLED WITH THE LLVL FLOW SHOULD
KEEP THUNDERSTORMS MOVING AND PREVENT TRAINING. HOWEVER ANY HEAVY
DOWNPOURS COULD SPAWN LOCALIZED FLOODING...ESPECIALLY IN THE FAVORED
LOW LYING LOCATIONS AND WHERE THE GROUND HAS REMAINED NEARLY
SATURATED.

TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL ALSO BE A CHALLENGE GIVEN THE ABUNDANCE OF
CLOUD COVER AT THE ONSET FROM A WEAKENING MCS. EXPECT BY THE
AFTERNOON HOURS SOLAR SHIELDING WILL THIN...ALLOWING TEMPS TO
REBOUND INTO THE LOW/MID 80S. WITH A SLIGHT SOUTHEAST WIND
COMPONENT...LAKE/COOK COUNTIES COULD BE SLIGHTLY COOLER WITH TEMPS
IN THE MID/UPR 70S. THE COOLEST AIR WOULD BE CONFINED TO THE
IMMEDIATE LAKESHORE.

TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...
PRECIPITATION PLACEMENT FROM EVENING/OVERNIGHT CONVECTION APPEARS TO
BE FAVORED FURTHER NORTH...HOWEVER NOISE AMONGST GUIDANCE MEMBERS
HAS MARGINALLY INCREASED THUS A SLIGHTLY LOWER CONFIDENCE IS BEING
INTRODUCED WITH THIS FORECAST PKG. 500MB VORT CONTINUES TO DRIFT
NORTHEAST ACROSS FAR EASTERN NEBRASKA WITH A NEARLY STACKED SFC LOW
OVER THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF NE. WARM FRONT IS EXPECTED TO LIFT
NORTH OF THE CWFA LATE THIS AFTN...ALLOWING THE LIKELY POPS TO BE
NORTH OVER THE FAR NORTHERN ROW OF THE CWFA AND WISCONSIN. PWAT
VALUES OVER NORTHERN IL/NORTHWEST IN OVERNIGHT FALL TO AROUND 1.2 TO
1.5 INCHES...WITH NEARLY 2 INCH VALUES FURTHER NORTH ALONG AN
ATMOSPHERIC RIVER IN MINNESOTA EAST THROUGH WISCONSIN INTO LOWER
MICHIGAN. THUS EXPECT CHC THUNDER IS PROBABLY BEST AT THIS POINT FOR
THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. ANOTHER SUPPORTING DETAIL IS MID-LVL HEIGHTS
REMAIN ELEVATED THROUGH DAYBREAK TUE ACROSS THE CWFA...THUS ANY MCS
RIDGE ROLLERS WILL BE DISPLACED TO OUR NORTH.

SHORTWAVE TUE CONTINUES TO DRIFT EAST TOWARDS THE GREAT LAKES
REGION...WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO THE MISSOURI
VALLEY TUE EVENING. THIS SHOULD ALLOW THE LLVL FLOW OVER NORTHERN
IL/NORTHWEST IN TO REMAIN SOUTHERLY...AND ALLOW THE 850MB THERMAL
RIDGE OF 18 TO 20 DEG C AIR TO BECOME REALIZED BY THE SFC
ENVIRONMENT. WITH OPTIMAL CONDITIONS TEMPERATURES SHOULD EASILY PUSH
INTO THE UPR 80S...AROUND 90. TEMPS COULD PUSH WARMER...HOWEVER THE
ATMOSPHERE WILL BECOME RATHER BUOYANT WITH DEW POINTS CREEPING TO
AROUND 70 ALLOWING HEAT CAPACITY OF PARCELS TO INCREASE. HEAT INDEX
VALUES IN THE LOW 90S CAN BE EXPECTED TUE.

TUE NIGHT BETTER FORCING PUSHES CLOSER TO THE CWFA FROM THE
WEST...WITH MID-LVL LAPSE RATES EXPECTED TO REMAIN RATHER STEEP. THE
CHALLENGE CONTINUES TO BE PLACEMENT OF SHRA/TSRA. DEEP MOISTURE FEED
CONTINUES TO PUSH OVER THE REGION...AND WITH ENOUGH INSTABILITY
ANTICIPATED FROM THE SHORTWAVE TO THE NORTHWEST WILL MAINTAIN
CONVECTION CHANCES.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
ENSEMBLES CONTINUE TO INDICATE MINIMAL SPREAD EARLY ON IN THE
EXTENDED...AS THE 500MB VORT STEADILY PUSHES EAST TOWARDS THE GREAT
LAKES REGION WED/THUR. SFC LOW WILL BE NEARLY PHASED...COUPLED WITH
ABUNDANT MOISTURE THUS EXPECT CHC SHRA FOR WED/THUR. INSTABILITY
WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH WED NGT...WITH STRATIFORM PRECIP THUR ON
BACKSIDE OF TROUGH BEFORE DIFFLUENT FLOW BUILDS IN FROM THE WEST AND
PROVIDES DRIER WEATHER.

BEHIND THE SHORTWAVE THUR/FRI...850MB THERMAL TROUGH QUICKLY FALLS
OFF INTO A 8 TO 10 DEG C RANGE. THIS COUPLED WITH CLOUDY SKIES WILL
KEEP TEMPS BELOW SEASONAL CONDITIONS IN THE UPR 60S/LOW 70S. TEMPS
WILL THEN STEADILY WARM FOR THE WEEKEND RETURNING TO MID/UPR 70S.

DEEP LAYER FLOW TAKES ON A SEMI-ZONAL SETUP...WHICH TENDS TO FAVOR A
MORE PROGRESSIVE WEST TO EAST FLOW OF SYSTEMS. GUIDANCE DIFFERS ON
WHEN PRECIP RETURNS TO THE REGION...SO CURRENTLY WILL SIDE WITH A
DRIER FORECAST SAT/SUN.

* TSRA TIMING THROUGH LATE MORNING.
* POTENTIAL FOR TSRA TO REDEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON.

PAW

//DISCUSSION...UPDATED 12Z...

A WARM FRONT ACROSS NORTHERN IL AND NORTHWEST IS PROVIDING A FOCUS
FOR TSRA AS A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MOVE ACROSS THE
AREA. FIRST ROUND OF TSRA AT OR NEAR THE GREATER-CHICAGO TERMINALS
WILL MOVE RAPIDLY TO THE EAST AND EXIT BY 13Z-14Z. NEXT ROUND OF
SHRA/TSRA MOVING EAST FROM IA WILL AFFECT THE TERMINALS THROUGH
LATE MORNING. AND THEN ANOTHER ROUND OF SHRA/TSRA IS POSSIBLE BY
LATE AFTERNOON INTO EVENING. CONFIDENCE IS LOWER FOR LATE
AFTERNOON DUE TO UNCERTAINTY OF WHETHER THE ATMOSPHERE HAS ENOUGH
TIME TO RECOVER FROM THE MORNING CONVECTION.

PAW

//ORD AND MDW CONFIDENCE...UPDATED 14Z...

.MARINE...
300 AM CDT

THE COMBINATION OF A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDING FROM HUDSON
BAY THROUGH THE UPPER GREAT LAKES...AND DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE
OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS...HAS SET UP A GENERALLY EASTERLY PRESSURE
GRADIENT OVER LAKE MICHIGAN. THE GRADIENT WILL BE STRONGEST OVER
THE FAR NORTHERNMOST PORTIONS OF THE LAKE...WHILE THE GRADIENT TO
THE SOUTH IS WEAKER. THUS WINDS OVER THE FAR NORTH WILL REMAIN
STRONGER THAN THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE LAKE. COOLER AIR MOVING
OVER THE LAKE WILL ALLOW FOR SOME PATCHY FOG FORMATION THIS
MORNING. THE HIGH IS EXPECTED TO MOVE SLOWLY EASTWARD OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE DAYS WHILE THE LOW LIFTS SLOWLY NORTHEAST AND
WEAKENS...REACHING SOUTHERN MINNESOTA BY TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL
LIFT A WARM FRONT NORTHWARD ACROSS THE SOUTH HALF OF LAKE
MICHIGAN...ALLOWING WINDS TO TURN SOUTHERLY OVER THE SOUTH END OF
THE LAKE...WHILE MODERATELY STRONG EAST WINDS CONTINUE AT THE
NORTH END. THE LOW WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AS IT DRIFTS EAST
ACROSS THE LAKE THURSDAY. AS THE LOW MOVES TO THE EAST OF THE LAKE
BY FRIDAY...WINDS WILL TURN NORTHWESTERLY.
