&&

.SHORT TERM...

THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING...

FAST MOVING SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW MOVING ACROSS
ILLINOIS AND INTO NORTHERN OHIO BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. ISENTROPIC
ASSENT REGION EXTENDS FROM SOUTHERN INDIANA TO LAKE MI AND THIS HAS
HELPED TO KEEP THE INVERSION FIRMLY ENTRENCHED OVER THE FORECAST
AREA. BREAKS IN THE STRATUS NOTED OVER NORTHERN ILLINOIS IN THE WAKE
OF THE WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY...HOWEVER THIS AREA IS QUICKLY FILLING
IN TO THE WEST AS THE COLD AIR SURGES SOUTHWARD IN THE WAKE. STRATUS
HAS LOWERED AND DEEPENED ACROSS IOWA...AND THIS IS WELL DEPICTED BY
THE MODEL SOUNDINGS. USING THIS AS THE GUIDE - IT APPEARS THAT THE
INVERSION WILL AGAIN SET THE STAGE FOR ANOTHER STRATUS FILLED NIGHT
INTO THE MORNING HOURS WEDNESDAY.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING...

RIDGING AND SOUTHERLY FLOW TAKE HOLD ON THE REGION DURING THE DAY
WEDNESDAY AND EXPECT TO SEE THE STRATUS ERODE...HOWEVER THERE WILL
BE AN ABUNDANCE OF MID LEVEL MOISTURE AND CLOUDY SKIES WILL
PREVAIL...ALTHOUGH THE LOW CLOUDS WILL HAVE GONE. TEMPERATURES TO
REBOUND AS THE INVERSION MIXES OUT AND SOUTHERLY FLOW INCREASES
DURING THE DAY. MODELED LOCATION OF THE LOW AND ASSOCIATED SYNOPTIC
SUPPORT IS STARTING TO FORM AROUND A CONSENSUS OF LOW PRESSURE
DEEPENING OVER THE OKLA PANHANDLE LATE WEDNESDAY AND TRACKING TO
NEAR CENTRAL ILLINOIS BY 12Z THURSDAY MORNING. OUTLIERS RANGE FROM
ON TOP OF CHICAGO-TO NEAR ST LOUIS.  REGARDLESS...IWX FORECAST AREA
IS ON THE WARM SIDE AND EXPECT TO SEE A GOOD FETCH OF DEEP MOISTURE
AND RAINFALL BEGINNING OVERNIGHT INTO THE MORNING THURSDAY.  WINDS
WILL ALSO BEGIN TO STRENGTHEN DURING THE OVERNIGHT AND EXPECT GUSTS
UPWARDS TO 25 TO 35 MPH AS THE SYSTEM INTENSIFIES.

CONCERN OVER POTENTIAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM
AS WELL. SHEAR PROFILE DOES NOT SUPPORT WELL ORGANIZED DEVELOPMENT
OF STORMS...AND WOULD NOT RULE OUT SMALL HAIL. WITH THE STRONG WIND
PROFILE...THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS ARE ALSO EXPECTED...BUT EXPECT
THESE TO BE SUB-SEVERE.

&&

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

ALL EYES ON POTENTIAL WINTER STORM THURSDAY NIGHT WITH LITTLE TO NO
SENSIBLE WEATHER CONCERNS THEREAFTER. LATEST 12Z NWP SUITE CONTAINED
FEW SURPRISES IN THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC SETUP YET SUBTLE AND IMPORTANT
DIFFERENCES REMAIN. CONFIDENCE IS BEGINNING TO INCREASE BUT TROUGH
OF INTEREST IS JUST NOW COMING ONSHORE THE CALIFORNIA
COAST...LEAVING SOME DEGREE OF TREPIDATION IN THE FORECAST. EXPECT
THE NEXT FEW MODEL RUNS TO FURTHER PIN DOWN THE DETAILS AS THE
SYSTEM IS FULLY SAMPLED BY THE UPPER AIR NETWORK.

VERY IMPRESSIVE AND DEEP PV ANOMALY WILL EJECT OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST
CONUS WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH SURFACE CYCLOGENESIS COMMENCING OVER THE
MIDWEST. TROUGH WILL BECOME NEGATIVELY TILTED DURING THE DAY
THURSDAY WITH AN INCREASINGLY MERIDIONAL UPPER LEVEL JET OVER THE
OHIO VALLEY FAVORING ASCENT IN THE LEFT EXIT REGION. UPWARD VERTICAL
MOTION WILL BE FURTHER ENHANCED BY STRONG POSITIVE PRESSURE
ADVECTION ON THE 1.5 PVU SURFACE. THIS WILL SUPPORT A ROUGHLY 987MB
LOW NEAR CHICAGO BY MIDDAY THURSDAY. RAIN WILL LIKELY BE ONGOING AT
12Z THURSDAY OWING TO RESPECTABLE 295K SYSTEM RELATIVE ISENTROPIC
ASCENT. EXPECT THERE WILL PROBABLY BE A BREAK AROUND MIDDAY THOUGH
AS MIDLEVEL DRY SLOT/ISENTROPIC DESCENT CROSSES THE CWA. MODEL QPF
WOULD SEEM TO SUGGEST PRECIP CONTINUING THROUGH THE DAY BUT DRY SLOT
ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE UNDERDONE BY THE MODELS AND EXPECT MOST AREAS
WILL SEE RAIN TEMPORARILY TAPER OFF DURING THE EARLY AFTERNOON.

REGARDLESS...PRECIP CHANCES WILL INCREASE AGAIN BY LATE AFTERNOON AS
THE LOW BEGINS TO OCCLUDE AND SHIFT TO EASTERN MICHIGAN. DEFORMATION
AXIS WILL PIVOT INTO OUR NORTHWEST CWA WITH COLD AIR SPILLING OVER
LAKE MICHIGAN AND INTO OUR AREA SUPPORTING LAKE ENHANCED PRECIP AND
EVENTUALLY A CHANGEOVER TO SNOW. THIS IS WHERE SUBTLE TRACK/TIMING
ISSUES HAVE A LARGE IMPACT. LATEST 12Z GFS IS FURTHER SOUTH AND
SLOWER THAN THE NAM AND ECMWF COUNTERPARTS...WITH A CHANGEOVER TO
SNOW NOT HAPPENING UNTIL 03-06Z AS OPPOSED TO 21-00Z. PREFERENCE
GIVEN TO THE NAM/EURO SOLUTION BUT DO THINK IT WILL TAKE UNTIL
ALMOST 00Z FOR CHANGEOVER TO OCCUR GIVEN RELATIVE DEARTH OF GOOD
UPSTREAM COLD AIR AND SURFACE WET BULBS FORECAST AOA 0C ACROSS MOST
OF THE CWA PRIOR TO 00Z. ON A SIMILAR NOTE...LAKE EFFECT PARAMETERS
ARE GOOD BUT NOTHING SPECTACULAR. 850MB DELTA T'S WILL BE AROUND 15C
WITH MAX CONVECTIVE DEPTHS AROUND 10 KFT...AND ONLY FROM ROUGHLY
00Z-09Z. BANDS WILL ALSO HAVE DIFFICULTY ORGANIZING WITH 850MB WINDS
AT 60+ KNOTS. SNOW RATIOS WILL ALSO BE A POTENTIAL LIMITING FACTOR
WITH MAX OMEGA LARGELY BELOW THE DGZ AND STRONG WINDS FRACTURING ANY
POSSIBLE DENDRITES. GIVEN THESE CONCERNS AND THE FACT THAT THE BEST
LOW-MIDLEVEL DEFORMATION/FGEN AND TROWAL AXIS WILL BE NORTH OF OUR
CWA...EXPECT HIGHEST SNOWFALL AMOUNTS TO REMAIN NORTH/WEST OF HERE.
EXPECT GENERALLY 2-5 INCHES IN THE NORTHWEST FROM 00Z-18Z AND AN
INCH OR LESS IN THE SOUTHEAST.

STRONG WINDS ARE THE OTHER MAIN CONCERN. 925MB WINDS WILL BE
APPROACHING 50KTS THURSDAY EVENING AND BUFR SOUNDINGS SHOW LIMITED
STABILITY AMID CAA IN THAT LAYER. A FEW 45-50 MPH GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE
LATE THURSDAY EVENING...CAUSING SOME BLOWING/DRIFTING. DRY WEATHER
AND SEASONABLE TEMPS WILL RETURN BY FRIDAY NIGHT AND PERSIST THROUGH
THE END OF THE PERIOD WITH LITTLE CHANGE TO ALL BLEND INIT.
