AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
323 AM CDT WED APR 11 2012

.DISCUSSION...
320 AM CDT

THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGES IN THE SHORT TERM ARE THE BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND FREEZING CONCERNS AGAIN TONIGHT. ATTENTION
THEN SHIFTS TO AN ACTIVE STORMY AND WET PATTERN THIS WEEKEND INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK. A DISCUSSION REGARDING THE SHORT TERM WILL BE
FORTHCOMING SHORTLY.

THE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL SLOWLY DEPART ON THURSDAY
WITH WHAT SHOULD BE A COMPLETE SUN-FILLED SKY. A LARGE DIURNAL
SWING OF 30 TO 35 DEGREES IS EXPECTED WITH MIXING IN EXCESS OF THE
800 MB HEIGHT PROVIDING HIGHS IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER 60S. THE
EXCEPTION WILL BE NEAR THE IL AND IN LAKE MICHIGAN SHORE WHERE
THE LIGHT SYNOPTIC WIND REGIME SHOULD ALLOW A LAKE BREEZE. THIS
COULD CONCEIVABLY MAKE IT A WHOLE COUNTY OR TWO INLAND BY LATE
AFTERNOON.

A LARGE SCALE LONG WAVE TROUGH...WITH NUMEROUS EMBEDDED STRONG
SHORT WAVES...WILL TRANSITION EASTWARD OVER THE WESTERN U.S. FROM
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. AHEAD OF THIS A PROGRESSIVELY
WARMING AND MOISTENING AIR MASS WILL BUILD TOWARDS THE AREA. AT
THE LEADING EDGE OF DEEPER MOISTURE AND SLIGHT INSTABILITY WILL
ARRIVE ONE SHORT WAVE ON FRIDAY. DEEPER MOISTURE AND THE MAIN
THERMAL/INSTABILITY RIDGE WILL SHIFT NORTH INTO THE AREA BY
SATURDAY PERSISTING THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS THE SURFACE COLD FRONT
APPROACHES...WITH EACH UPPER LEVEL IMPULSE HELPING TO SHIFT IT
SLOWLY EAST. IT IS DURING THIS SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY PERIOD WHERE
SOME SEVERE STORMS APPEAR POSSIBLE. COVERAGE AND MORE SPECIFIC
TIMING IS PRETTY CHALLENGING TO TELL RIGHT NOW DUE TO DIFFERENT
GUIDANCE EVOLUTION/TIMING.

MODEL GUIDANCE IS IN FAIR AGREEMENT FRIDAY INTO THE DAY SATURDAY
BEFORE DIFFERING SIGNIFICANTLY IN SPEED AND EVOLUTION OF LOW
PRESSURE AREAS SUNDAY INTO NEXT WEEK. HAVE FAVORED A SLOWER EC
SOLUTION FOR CLOUD COVER AND RAIN CHANCES LATE THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
FRIDAY DUE TO THE VERY DRY INHERENT AIR MASS WITHIN THE INITIAL
WARM AIR ADVECTION. FOR SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY HAVE SUPPORTED A
COMPROMISE OF THE EC AND GFS ENSEMBLE. THE EC CONTINUES TO BE THE
SLOWER AND OVERALL MORE FAVORED SOLUTION IN GENERAL...AND BROUGHT
SOME ENSEMBLE INTO THE FORECAST TO ACCOUNT FOR SPREAD. ON MONDAY
INTO TUESDAY...THE PREDICTED MORE WEST-TO-EAST NATURE OF THE
BOUNDARY IN THE REGION DURING THAT TIME POINTS TOWARD POTENTIAL
CONCERNS FOR RAINFALL. OVERALL FROM FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY THE
11.00 GFS PRODUCES TWO TO FIVE INCHES OF RAINFALL IN THE
CWA...WHILE THE 11.00 EC YIELDS ONE AND A HALF TO FOUR INCHES. THE
OVERALL HIGH QPF FROM BOTH OF THE PRIMARY GUIDANCE ALONG WITH
HIGHER PROBABILITIES OF ACCUMULATION IN THE GEFS POINT TOWARDS A
PROBABLE PERIOD OF HIGHER QPF SOMEWHERE WITHIN THE
REGION...ESPECIALLY NEAR AND TO THE IMMEDIATE NORTH OF THE SURFACE
BOUNDARY EARLY NEXT WEEK. WITH THE HIGH QPF...WHICH GIVES A FIRST
GUESS TO MOST OF THE MODEL POPS IN THE LONG RANGE...A CONSENSUS
BLEND OF THE LONG RANGE MODELS GAVE VERY HIGH CATEGORICAL POPS FOR
FIVE AND SIX DAYS OUT. HAVE ADJUSTED THOSE DOWN...BUT STILL HAVE
LIKELY WORDING BASED ON THE ACTIVE REGIONAL SCENARIO.

FOR TEMPERATURES...WITH QUITE A BIT WARM AIR ADVECTION CLOUD COVER
ON FRIDAY...TEMPERATURES ARE FAVORED IN THE UPPER 50S TO LOWER
60S. THE HIGHEST CONFIDENCE IS IN WARM NIGHTTIME LOWS
FRIDAY...SATURDAY...AND SUNDAY NIGHTS. DAYTIME HIGHS HAVE LOWER
CONFIDENCE WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS. WHILE THERE ARE LIKELY
POPS ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...NEITHER DAY WOULD SEEM TO BE AN ALL-
OUT WASHOUT AT THIS TIME...GIVEN THE AREA IN A GENERAL WARM
SECTOR. SO TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE INTO THE 60S IF NOT 70S FOR
THOSE AREAS THAT STAY AWAY FROM THE SHOWERS THE LONGEST.

.AVIATION...

//ORD AND MDW CONCERNS...UPDATED 06Z...

* NORTH WINDS UP TO 15 KT SLOWLY BECOMING NORTHEAST BY WEDNESDAY
  AFTERNOON.

JEE

//DISCUSSION...UPDATED 06Z...

A BROAD RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE STRETCHING FROM MANITOBA THROUGH
THE CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY EARLY TONIGHT WILL SLOWLY
DRIFT EASTWARD. VFR CONDITIONS WILL DOMINATE FOR THE REST OF THE
TAF TIME SPAN THANKS TO STABLE CONDITIONS UNDER THE HIGH PRESSURE.
A WEAK SHORTWAVE WILL PASS OVER THE TERMINALS THIS
AFTERNOON...BUT WITH LIMITED MOISTURE...AT MOST EXPECTING A BKN
VFR CIG LAYER. WINDS WILL SLOWLY VEER FROM NORTH TO NORTHEAST OVER
THE COURSE OF THE DAY. IN GENERAL...SUSTAINED WINDS WILL BE 15 KT
OR LESS WITH MINIMAL GUSTS DUE TO THE STABLE CONDITIONS.
HOWEVER...GYY MAY SEE GUSTS UP TO 20 KT THANKS TO NORTHERLY FLOW
OFF OF THE SLIGHTLY LESS STABLE LAKE. THE HIGH ITSELF PASSES OVER
THE TERMINALS LATE THIS EVENING...AND WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHT AND
VARIABLE.

JEE

//ORD AND MDW CONFIDENCE...UPDATED 06Z...

.MARINE...
343 PM CDT

STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS LAKE MICHIGAN THROUGH
TONIGHT AS LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTHERN QUEBEC AND NEW ENGLAND
REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY WHILE A LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE
EXTENDS FROM WESTERN HUDSON BAY SOUTH INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS.
THE LOW WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN AS IT MOVES EAST OVER THE ATLANTIC
WEDNESDAY...WHILE THE HIGH SLOWLY BUILDS EAST ACROSS ONTARIO AND
THE LAKES REGION. NORTHWEST WINDS WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH OVERNIGHT
INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING...AS THEY TURN MORE NORTHERLY. WINDS
DIMINISH RAPIDLY WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THE HIGH SPREADS ACROSS THE
LAKE. COULD BE A FEW GUSTS TO LOW END GALES OVER THE NORTH END OF
THE LAKE THROUGH THIS EVENING...ESPECIALLY THROUGH THE ISLANDS BUT
NOT EXPECTING GALES TO BECOME PREVAILING OR FREQUENT AT THIS TIME.
THE HIGH WILL MOVE TO THE EAST COAST FRIDAY WITH AN ACTIVE
UNSETTLED PATTERN THIS WEEKEND WITH LOW PRESSURE AREAS MOVING
NORTHEAST ACROSS THE UPPER LAKES REGION AND VARIOUS COLD/WARM
FRONTS IMPACTING THE LAKE.
