SHEA

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
302 PM CDT WED MAY 11 2011

.DISCUSSION...
249 PM CDT

FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING...THE MAIN
CONCERN WILL BE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES...PARTICULARLY FOR
LOCATION NORTH OF INTERSTATE 80 AND AWAY FROM LAKE MICHIGAN.

EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...A LAKE BREEZE BOUNDARY HAS PUSHED
INLAND...WEST OF LAKE COUNTY...AND AS OF 2PM CDT...THE BOUNDARY WAS
APPROACHING A LINE FROM OHARE TO MIDWAY AIRPORTS.  LOCATIONS EAST OF
THE BOUNDARY WILL BE STABILIZED BY THE COOLER LAKE AIR...AND
CONVECTIVE INITIATION WILL BE DIFFICULT TO SUPPORT.  WEST OF THE
BOUNDARY...THE ATMOSPHERE IS VERY WARM...MOIST AND UNSTABLE.
SURFACE DEWPOINTS HAVE RISEN INTO THE UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70 AND
TEMPERATURES ARE NEAR OR AT 90F.  THE MAIN CONCERN FOR CONVECTIVE
INITIATION HAS BEEN A WEAK CAPPING INVERSION OVER IL.  LATEST ACARS
SOUNDING INDICATE THAT THE CAP IS ERODING AND THAT CONVECTIVE
INITIATION IS BECOMING MORE LIKELY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.  CAPE
VALUES OVER NRN IL EXCEED 4000 J/KG WITH NO CIN.  THUS A SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF NRN IL WITH THE GREATEST
THREATS BEING LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND.  WHILE WIND PROFILES ARE
NOT STRONGLY CONDUCIVE TO TORNADIC DEVELOPMENT...THE PRESENCE OF SFC
BOUNDARY SUCH AS THE LAKE BREEZE PUSHING INLAND...THE POSSIBILITY OF
ISOLATED TORNADIC DEVELOPMENT WILL NEED TO BE CONSIDERED.  ANOTHER
CONCERN WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE THE FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL.
12Z SOUNDINGS INDICATED PW AMOUNTS ON THE ORDER OF 1.5 INCHES AND
WITH CONTINUED WARM/MOIST ADVECTION...PW VALUES SHOULD INCREASE
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...FURTHER ENHANCING THE POSSIBILITY OF LOCALLY
HEAVY RAINFALL WITH THUNDERSTORMS.  ALSO...IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE
GREATEST SEVERE THREAT WILL LAST INTO THE EARLY EVENING
HOURS...THERE IS A CHANCE THAT ISOLATED SUPERCELLS CAN CONSOLIDATE
INTO A LINE OR BOX ECHO LATER THIS EVENING OVER THE WATCH
AREA...WHICH COULD TRACK EWD INTO THE CHICAGO METRO AREA BY LATE
EVENING.

THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL SHOULD DECREASE THROUGH THE LATE EVENING
HOURS AND OVERNIGHT...THOUGH THERE WILL STILL BE A CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT.  AFTER ANOTHER DAY WITH
TEMPERATURES AROUND 90F AND AMPLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IN
PLACE...OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL BE ON THE BALMY SIDE...LIKELY ONLY
DROPPING INTO THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 60S.  AS THE DEEP UPPER LOW OVER
THE CNTRL PLAINS IS EXPECTED TO BE SLOW TO PROGRESS EWD AS THE UPPER
LEVEL PATTERN CONTINUES TO AMPLIFY...WARMER THAN NORMAL CONDITIONS
WITH CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE UPPER LOW CAN
PROGRESS EAST OF THE REGION.

THE MODELS ARE VERY CONSISTENT IN ACTUALLY DIGGING THE UPPER LOW
SEWD...INTO SERN KS BY FRIDAY MORNING AND SRN IL BY FRIDAY NIGHT.  A
STRONG NRN STREAM SHORTWAVE IS ALSO EXPECTED TO DIG OUT OF SCNTRL
CANADA AND INTO THE NRN PLAINS BY FRIDAY NIGHT.  THIS WILL CARVE OUT
A DEEP UPPER TROUGH OVER THE CNTRL CONUS.  AS THE MEAN UPPER TROUGH
MOVES OVER THE MIDWEST FRIDAY NIGHT AND INTO SATURDAY...CONDITIONS
OVER THE LOCAL AREA WILL RAPIDLY DETERIORATE WILL TEMPERATURES
SHARPLY DECREASING AND CHANCES FOR PRECIPITATIONS CONTINUING.  THE
WEEKEND IS SHAPING UP TO BE UNSEASONABLY COOL AND WET...WITH HIGHS
ON SATURDAY RANGING FROM THE UPPER 50S TO AROUND 60F.  HIGHS SUNDAY
WILL LIKELY BE EVEN COOLER...GENERALLY IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 50S.
UNSEASONABLY COOL WEATHER WILL CONTINUE INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS
THE UPPER LOW DIGS INTO THE DEEP SOUTH.  WITH THE GFS/ECMWF FAIRLY
CONSISTENT ON THE GENERAL UPPER LEVEL FLOW PATTERN WITH TROUGHING
REMAIN ALONG AND EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER...THERE IS LITTLE
OPPORTUNITY FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT WARMING UNTIL LATE NEXT WEEK.

.AVIATION...

//ORD AND MDW CONCERNS...UPDATED 20Z...

* CHANCE FOR TSRA LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING.
* EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS CONTINUING.

PAW

//DISCUSSION...UPDATED 18Z...

UPDATE 20Z...LAKE BREEZE PUSHED THROUGH ORD AND MDW AND NOW LOOKS
LIKE WINDS WILL STAY EAST TO SOUTHEAST...

FIRST CONCERN IS THE POTENTIAL FOR TSRA THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. MULTIPLE SURFACE BOUNDARIES OVER OR NEAR NORTHERN
IL/NORTHWEST IN. UPPER LEVEL WAVE MOVING TOWARD THE AREA FROM THE
SOUTHWEST. AMPLE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS IN PLACE. THE QUESTION IS
WHETHER RELATIVELY WARM TEMPERATURES ALOFT WILL SERVE TO CAP
ACTIVITY SIMILAR TO PAST COUPLE DAYS. MOST LIKELY TIME PERIOD FOR
DEVELOPMENT WOULD BE ABOUT 21Z TO 02Z. CONFIDENCE IN OCCURRENCE
TOO LOW AT THIS TIME TO INCLUDE IN THE TAFS AS A TEMPO GROUP.

SECOND CONCERN IS THE WIND DIRECTION FOR NORTHEAST IL. HAVE HAD
SOME LAKE INFLUENCE LATE MORNING. BUT WINDS BEHIND A BOUNDARY
MOVING ACROSS NORTHERN IL EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WILL TURN WINDS MORE
TO THE SOUTHWEST AGAIN AT THE TERMINALS.

PAW

//ORD AND MDW CONFIDENCE...UPDATED 20Z...

* MEDIUM CONFIDENCE IN TSRA POTENTIAL.
* MEDIUM CONFIDENCE IN WIND DIRECTION.

PAW

//OUTLOOK FOR ORD/MDW FOR 00Z FRIDAY-12Z WEDNESDAY...UPDATED 12Z...

THURSDAY NIGHT...VFR WITH CHANCE TSRA.

FRIDAY...MVFR CIGS POSSIBLE WITH CHANCE OF TSRA EARLY.

SATURDAY...MVFR CIGS POSSIBLE WITH CHANCE OF SHRA.

SUNDAY...MVFR CIGS POSSIBLE WITH CHANCE OF SHRA.

MONDAY...VFR.

TUESDAY...VFR.

.MARINE...
259 PM CDT

WEAKENING LOW PRESSURE OVER WESTERN ONTARIO WILL TRACK TO THE EAST
WHILE LOW PRESSURE CURRENTLY CENTERED OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL
TRACK NORTHEAST AND WEAKEN. THE TWO AREAS OF LOW PRESSURE WILL BE
ABSORBED INTO A BROAD TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE STRETCHING ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES REGION BY FRIDAY. THE TROUGH WILL GRADUALLY SHIFT SOUTH
AND EAST...RECONSOLIDATING INTO A LOW CENTER BY SATURDAY OVER THE
OHIO VALLEY. THIS LOW CENTER WILL GRADUALLY INTENSIFY AND TRACK
NORTHEAST INTO THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES/INTERIOR NORTHEASTERN UNITED
STATES BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.

AFTER A PERIOD OF LIGHT WINDS AND RATHER VARIABLE WIND DIRECTIONS
THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY...AS THE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE SETTLES TO THE
EAST OF LAKE MICHIGAN BY LATER FRIDAY...WINDS WILL TURN NORTHERLY
AND START TO INCREASE DUE TO A STRENGTHENING PRESSURE GRADIENT. OVER
THE WEEKEND...WIND SPEEDS WILL CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY INCREASE ON THE
BACKSIDE OF THE CONSOLIDATING LOW PRESSURE AREA...AND BECOME MORE
NORTHEASTERLY. BY SUNDAY INTO MONDAY...NORTH AND NORTHEAST WINDS
WILL LIKELY BE SUSTAINED TO 20 KNOTS...WITH HIGHER GUSTS TO 30 KNOTS
POSSIBLE. A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN BY TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY OF NEXT WEEK...BRINGING DIMINISHING WINDS.

THERE WILL BE PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS LOW PRESSURE
APPROACHES FROM THE PLAINS THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY. THE WARM AND HUMID
AIR MASS IN PLACE OVER THE LAND AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING LOW IS
SUPPORTIVE OF PATCHY DENSE FOG OVER THE OPEN WATERS DURING THE SAME
TIME PERIOD. AFTER THE TROUGH PASSES TO THE EAST OF THE LAKE LATE
FRIDAY...COOLER CONDITIONS OVER THE LAND WILL END THE FOG
THREAT...WITH OCCASIONAL RAIN SHOWERS POSSIBLE OVER THE WEEKEND INTO
THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK.

328 PM CDT WED MAY 11 2011 /428 PM EDT WED MAY 11 2011/

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS...
NORTHEAST ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.

  WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED:

  SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS...SOME MAY PRODUCE:

    LARGE HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF HALF DOLLARS.

    LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH.

    HEAVY RAIN AND FREQUENT LIGHTNING.

  AREAS AFFECTED AND TIMING:

    SEVERE THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL PERSIST INTO THE EARLY
    EVENING HOURS. THERE IS A CHANCE FOR NON-SEVERE
    THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT.

  DISCUSSION:

AN UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS CONTINUES TO HELP PUMP
HEAT AND HUMIDITY INTO THE MIDWEST. THIS HAS RESULTED IN SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON OVER NORTH CENTRAL AND
NORTHEASTERN ILLINOIS. THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING. THESE STORMS ARE
FUELED BY THE UNSEASONABLY WARM AND MOIST AIRMASS...WHICH WHEN
COMBINED WITH A JET STREAM ALOFT...MAY CAUSE SOME OF THE STORMS TO
BECOME SEVERE. THE MOST LIKELY HAZARD WILL BE LARGE HAIL AND
LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS. THE POSSIBILITY OF ISOLATED TORNADOES
CANNOT BE RULED OUT AS WELL. THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY DECREASE IN
COVERAGE AND INTENSITY BY LATE THIS EVENING.

IN ADDITION...PORTIONS OF THE KANKAKEE RIVER IN NORTHWEST INDIANA
WILL REMAIN IN FLOOD.
