AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
1054 AM CDT TUE SEP 18 2012

.DISCUSSION...
326 AM CDT

EARLY THIS MORNING A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS CONTINUE TO PUSH
EAST...RIDING ON THE TAIL OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THIS BOUNDARY
BY 3 AM CDT HAD PUSHED INTO SOUTHEAST LOWER MICHIGAN STRETCHING
SOUTH THROUGH CENTRAL KENTUCKY. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT HAS REMAINED
RELATIVELY TIGHT ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS BOUNDARY...MAINLY ACROSS
WI/IL/MO. THIS FEATURE WAS FOCUSED ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF THE
BROAD ANTI-CYCLONIC FLOW WHICH WAS CENTERED OVER THE DAKOTAS SOUTH
TO KANSAS. IR IMAGERY EARLY THIS MORNING DEPICTED THE BACK EDGE OF
THE CLOUDS ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTION OF LAKE MICHIGAN STRETCHING
SOUTH THROUGH CENTRAL IL...AND WAS SLOWLY PUSHING EAST. SFC OBS
HAVE INDICATED STEADILY FALLING TEMPS WHERE THE SKIES HAVE
CLEARED...WITH TEMPS MAINLY IN THE MID/UPR 40S AND DEW PTS FALLING
INTO THE MID 40S. UPSTREAM OBS HAVE INDICATED MUCH DRIER AIR
POURING INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST WITH DEW PTS IN THE LOW/MID 30S.
THIS WILL PLAY A ROLE IN HOW COOL TEMPS WILL RADIATE TONIGHT INTO
EARLY WED.

ANTI-CYCLONIC FLOW WILL STEADILY BUILD IN FROM THE WEST AND PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL SUBSIDENCE...DRYING THE NEAR SFC ENVIRONMENT. EXPECT A
FEW FAIR WEATHER CUMULUS TO DEVELOP MIDDAY...HOWEVER SHOULD NOT POSE
MUCH COVERAGE GIVEN HOW DRY THE AIR IS THAT WILL BE PUSHING IN FROM
THE WEST. THE AREAS CLOSER TO LAKE MICHIGAN WILL SEE LAKE EFFECT
PRECIP LATE THIS MORNING THROUGH THIS EVENING. LAKE INDUCED CAPE
QUICKLY INCREASES TOWARDS 500-700 J/KG AROUND MIDDAY THRU THIS
EVENING...THUS HAVE INCLUDED MENTION OF THUNDER FOR THE MARINE
ENVIRONMENT. AT THIS TIME IT DOES NOT APPEAR MORE THAN LGT SHRA
WILL IMPACT THE FAR NORTHEAST IL AND NORTHWEST IN CWFA. THERMAL
TROUGH AT 850MB PUSHES OVERHEAD MIDDAY WITH TEMPS IN THE 1 TO 3
DEG C RANGE. WITH GOOD MIXING THROUGHOUT THE DAY...TEMPS SHUD ONLY
WARM INTO THE LOW 60S. POSSIBLY A FEW LOCATIONS COULD WARM INTO
THE MID 60S ALONG AND SOUTH OF A PONTIAC TO FOWLER LINE.

CONFIDENCE...HIGH.

TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
THE GREATEST CONCERN FOR TONIGHT IS FOCUSED ON THE POTENTIAL FOR
FROST DEVELOPMENT AS THE SFC WILL EXPERIENCE CONSIDERABLE
RADIATIONAL COOLING. THE CONCERN FOR THIS IS THAT IT APPEARS THINGS
ARE A BIT MORE PROGRESSIVE THAN WAS INITIALLY EXPECTED WITH RESPECT
TO THE TROUGH AXIS AND SFC RIDGE. THE SECOND WRINKLE TO THIS SETUP
IS THAT THE CWFA WILL REMAIN ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE SFC
RIDGE OVERNIGHT. WHILE AT THE SFC IT APPEARS WINDS WILL POTENTIALLY
TREND TOWARDS LGT/VRB FOR A PERIOD FROM 3Z THRU 12Z...THEN BEGIN TO
INCREASE FROM THE SW AS THE SFC RIDGE DRIFTS SE OF THE REGION. IN
THIS TIMEFRAME GUIDANCE HAS SUGGESTED TEMPS WILL FALL INTO THE
MID/UPR 30S AWAY FROM LAKE MICHIGAN. CLOSER TO THE MARINE
ENVIRONMENT TEMPS WILL RADIATE INTO THE LOW/MID 40S. DOWNTOWN
CHICAGO WILL MOST LIKELY HOLD IN THE UPR 40S.

ANOTHER CONCERN WITH THE MORE PROGRESSIVE NATURE OF THIS SYSTEM IS
THAT TEMPS ALOFT BEGIN TO WARM BY 09Z. WHILE THIS MOST LIKELY WILL
PROVE TO BE A MINIMAL INFLUENCE ON THE SFC...IT IS PROBABLE THAT
SOME PATCHY FROST MAY FORM. THE CHALLENGING ASPECT TO THIS IS THAT
SOILS REMAIN RELATIVELY WARM IN THE LOW 60S...WHICH COULD PROVIDE
ENOUGH WARMTH TO THE EXPOSED SURFACES NEAR THE GROUND...ELEVATED
SFC COULD SEE PATCHY FROST FORM. VEGETATION ALSO COULD PLAY AN
INHIBITOR IN FROST FORMATION...NONETHELESS WILL MAINTAIN MENTION
OF PATCHY FROST FOR THE WEST/NORTHWEST SECTIONS OF THE CWFA.

TEMPS WILL UNDERGO A DECENT DIURNAL CURVE WARMING THROUGH THE 60S TO
ARND 70 DEG WED AFTN. SFC FLOW WILL BE ADVECTING WARMER AIR INTO THE
CWFA FROM THE SW...AHEAD OF YET ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY POISED TO
TRAVERSE THE REGION WED NGT. THERMAL RIDGE OF 8 TO 10 DEG C IS
PROGGED TO SLIDE OVERHEAD WED AFTN/EVE. CLOUDS WILL BE ON THE
INCREASE IN THE AFTN/EVE HOURS AS THE FRONTAL BNDRY APPROACHES WITH
A CHC FOR SHRA. TEMPS WED NGT WILL BE MUCH WARMER AND MORE SEASONAL
IN THE UPR 40S TO LOW 50S.

CONFIDENCE...HIGH.

THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
ENSEMBLE MEMBERS HAVE MAINTAINED A HIGH CONFIDENCE...MINIMAL SPREAD
AMONGST MEMBERS...FORECAST FOR THE BULK OF THE EXTENDED PERIODS. THE
LONGWAVE PATTERN SUGGESTS THE HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDGE PLACES ACROSS THE
ALEUTIANS WILL BEGIN TO PUSH EAST WITH THE DOWNSTREAM TROUGH
REMAINING OVER THE GREAT LAKES/OHIO VALLEY THRU THE WEEKEND. AIDING
IN THE SLOW EJECTION WILL BE YET ANOTHER HIGH LATITUDE RIDGE PROGGED
TO REMAIN OVER THE CANADIAN MARITIME. GUIDANCE BEGINS TO DIVERGE ON
STRENGTH/PLACEMENT OF THE WESTERN AMPLITUDE RIDGE AS WELL AS THE
TROUGH ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. THE OVERALL THEME AMONGST LONGER
RANGE ENSEMBLE FORECASTS IS THAT RIDGING WILL GENERALLY WEAKEN
ACROSS THE CANADIAN ROCKIES...AS THE GREAT LAKES TROUGH UNDERGOES
WEAKENING.

THERMAL TROUGH IS PROGGED TO REMAIN DRAPED ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES
REGION THROUGH THE BULK OF THE EXTENDED. THRU/FRI 850MB TEMPS WILL
GENERALLY BE 4 TO 6 DEG C...THEN STEADILY COOLING FOR THE SAT/SUN
PERIODS TO NEAR 0 DEG C. AN INTERESTING FEATURE IS THAT GUIDANCE IS
DEMONSTRATING A RELATIVELY HIGH CONFIDENCE IN KEEPING THE 0 DEG
ISOTHERM OVER CENTRAL WISC DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY. THIS COULD
PROVIDE UNSEASONABLY COOL CONDITIONS FOR MANY PARTS OF THE UPPER
MIDWEST/WESTERN GREAT LAKES IN THE SAT/SUN TIMEFRAME. FOR THE CWFA
MANY THINGS WILL DRIVE THE SFC TEMPS...PARTICULARLY CLOUD
COVER/PRECIP. OPERATIONAL SOLUTIONS HAVE PROGGED A PERSISTENT VORT
NEAR JAMES BAY TO SEND A SERIES OF WEAK WAVES AROUND THE TROUGH AXIS
TOWARDS THE UPPER MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES FRI/SAT. THE BEST CHC FOR
PRECIP WILL OCCUR IN THE THUR NGT THRU EARLY SAT PERIOD WITH A
SHORTWAVE PIVOTING EAST ALONG THE BASE OF THE 500MB TROUGH AXIS.
THEN IT APPEARS ANTI-CYCLONIC FLOW WILL PUSH IN FOR THE SECOND HALF
OF THE WEEKEND WITH DRY WEATHER.

WITH DRIER AIR ARRIVING SUN/MON...COUPLED WITH THE WEAKENING
DOWNSTREAM RIDGE OVER THE CANADIAN MARITIME...AND THE MODERATING
850MB THERMAL TROUGH OVERHEAD...SFC TEMPS SHUD RETURN TO NEAR
SEASONAL CONDS IN THE LOW 70S. SUPPORTING THIS SOLUTION IS THE PHASE
OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC OSCILLATION OR NAO...WHICH IS PROGGED TO BEGIN
TRENDING BACK TO NEUTRAL AFTER THE PRIOR 7 DAYS OF BEING NEGATIVE.
THIS SUGGESTS THAT SUB CLIMO HEIGHTS WILL PUSH ACROSS THE NORTH
ATLANTIC...ALLOWING THE EASTERN CONUS TO WARM OR RETURN TO SEASONAL
CONDITIONS.

CONFIDENCE...HIGH.

//ORD AND MDW CONCERNS...UPDATED 16Z...

* NORTHWESTERLY WINDS GUSTING AROUND 20 KT TODAY.

KJB

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

STRONG COLD ADVECTION INTO THE AREA IS ALLOWING STRONGER WINDS TO
MIX TO THE SURFACE EARLY THIS MORNING WHILE THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
IS STILL TIGHT BEHIND THE DEPARTING FRONT. WINDS WILL BECOME MORE
FREQUENT AFTER DAYBREAK...AND EXPECT GUSTS INTO THE LOW TO MID 20
KT RANGE THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. THE GRADIENT SHOULD GRADUALLY
RELAX THROUGH THE DAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS SOUTH OF THE
REGION... ALLOWING WINDS TO SLOWLY DIMINISH AND BACK SLIGHTLY
FARTHER WEST.

ALSO THIS MORNING...A RELATIVELY SMALL PATCH OF IFR/MVFR CIGS HAS
DROPPED SOUTH OF OUT WISCONSIN. THIS AREA OF CLOUDS IS JUST
BRUSHING ORD THIS MORNING AND SUSPECT CONDITIONS TO SHORTLY
RETURN TO VFR. DPA ON THE OTHER HAND IS MORE SOLIDLY UNDER THESE
CLOUDS AND WILL PERSIST FOR THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS. OTHERWISE
TODAY...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TO PREVAIL. SHOULD SEE COLD AIR
CU/STRATOCU DEVELOPING LATER IN THE AFTERNOON...AND THERE MAY BE
ENOUGH VERTICAL DEPTH TO THESE CLOUDS TO SQUEEZE OUT A FEW LIGHT
SHOWERS OR A SPRINKLE.

THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT...WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH AS THE RIDGE AXIS
MOVES ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS. WINDS WILL GO LIGHT AND VARIABLE AT
RFD AND POSSIBLY DPA...BUT EXPECT A LAND BREEZE TO DEVELOP KEEPING
LIGHT SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS FOR ORD/MDW/GYY. BMD

.MARINE...
245 AM CDT

STRONG NORTH-NORTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE THIS MORNING AS COLD
ADVECTION CONTINUES BEHIND A COLD FRONT THAT PUSHED ACROSS LAKE
MICHIGAN YESTERDAY. WHILE WINDS SHOULD GENERALLY REMAIN BELOW GALE
FORCE...THERE MAY BE A FEW OCCASIONAL GALE FORCE GUSTS EARLY THIS
MORNING. WITH THE COLD ADVECTION OVER THE RELATIVELY WARM
WATERS...MODERATE INSTABILITY IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP TODAY
ALLOWING FOR LAKE EFFECT SHOWERS TO DEVELOP. CONDITIONS ARE ALSO
FAVORABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF WATER SPOUTS. WINDS SHOULD
GRADUALLY TREND DOWN THROUGH THE DAY TODAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
IN FROM THE WEST... THOUGH SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES REMAIN IN EFFECT
FOR THE NEARSHORE WATERS OF INDIANA AND ILLINOIS THROUGH LATE
TONIGHT.

ANOTHER AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO DROP SOUTHEAST ACROSS
MANITOBA ON WEDNESDAY ALLOWING WINDS TO RAMP UP AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT TIGHTENS AHEAD OF THE LOW. GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO
INDICATE STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS ACROSS LAKE MICHIGAN...WITH GALES
OF 35 TO 40 KT EXPECTED WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. A GALE WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THIS PERIOD. BMD
