AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
321 AM CDT SUN OCT 7 2012

.DISCUSSION...

305 PM...MAIN FORECAST CONCERN AND CHALLENGE REMAINS FROST/FREEZE
POTENTIAL TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING AND AGAIN SUNDAY NIGHT INTO
MONDAY MORNING. LOW TEMPERATURES WERE GENERALLY IN THE LOWER 30S
THIS MORNING WITH THE USUAL COOL SPOTS DIPPING INTO THE UPPER 20S.
SINCE A WIDESPREAD HARD FREEZE...TEMPS 28 DEGREES OR COLDER...DID
NOT OCCUR...FROST/FREEZE HEADLINES WILL CONTINUE FOR ALL COUNTIES
IN THE LOT CWA. THE PROBLEM FOR TONIGHT IS CLOUD COVER. A LARGE
AREA OF STRATOCU EXTENDS ACROSS MUCH OF THE GREAT LAKES REGION AND
SHOULD PERSIST INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO
SUGGEST THAT THIS CLOUD COVER WILL THIN OVERNIGHT WITH ENOUGH
CLEARING ACROSS THE NORTH BY MORNING FOR TEMPS TO INDEED DROP
BELOW FREEZING. WITH THIS IN MIND...HAVE GONE WITH A FREEZE
WARNING FOR THE NORTHERN QUARTER OF SO OF THE CWA...WITH A BIT
LATER START TIME OF 2AM GIVEN A SLOW TEMP DROP UNTIL CLOUDS BREAK.
DIURNALLY DRIVEN STRATOCU ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CWA MAY END UP
DISSIPATING SOONER WITH CLOUD COVER FROM THE NORTH NOT MAKING IT
THAT FAR SOUTH...WITH THE END RESULT OF CLEARING SKIES ACROSS THE
SOUTH AS WELL. OVERALL CONFIDENCE REGARDING CLOUD TRENDS IS FAIRLY
LOW...THUS HEADLINES MAY NEED TO BE EXPANDED FOR MUCH OF THE CWA
LATER THIS EVENING.

WESTERLY WINDS HAVE KEPT LAKE EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS ACROSS PARTS OF
LOWER MICHIGAN TODAY BUT WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO TURN MORE NORTHERLY
TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING WITH SOME CONVERGENCE DEVELOPING OVER
THE SOUTHERN END OF THE LAKE. THUS LAKE EFFECT RAIN SHOWERS WILL
LIKELY BEGIN TO AFFECT FAR NORTHWEST INDIANA...MAINLY PORTER
COUNTY AFTER MIDNIGHT AND INTO SUNDAY MORNING. INSTABILITY
COMBINED WITH THE EXPECTED CONVERGENCE COULD PRODUCE A FEW
WATERSPOUTS AS WELL.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL PASS SOUTH OF THE AREA SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT
WITH NORTHERLY WINDS TURNING BACK SOUTHWESTERLY AS DEEP LOW
PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST AND NORTHERN LAKES MONDAY
INTO MONDAY NIGHT. AFTER HIGHS ONLY IN THE LOWER 50S...MAYBE A FEW
MID 50S ON SUNDAY...TEMPS SHOULD DROP OFF INTO THE 30S SUNDAY
EVENING BUT PERHAPS REMAIN STEADY OVERNIGHT WITH SOME WEAK WARMING
ALOFT. FREEZING TEMPERATURES AND FROST ARE CERTAINLY POSSIBLE BUT
WITH TONIGHT/S UNCERTAINTY...DON/T WANT TO COMPLICATE THINGS WITH
SUNDAY NIGHT/MONDAY MORNING JUST YET.

TEMPS REBOUND BACK INTO THE LOWER 60S ON MONDAY ON STRONG
SOUTHWEST WINDS. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW MIXING AS HIGH AS 800MB
WHERE WIND SPEEDS ARE FORECAST INTO THE 30 KT RANGE...AT LEAST
ACROSS THE NORTHERN/NORTHWESTERN PART OF THE CWA. GUSTY WINDS MAY
CONTINUE INTO MONDAY EVENING AND THEN PICK BACK UP AGAIN TUESDAY
MORNING AS HIGHS PUSH FURTHER INTO THE MID TO PERHAPS UPPER 60S.

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE MIDWEST ON TUESDAY AND
THERE REMAINS A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY TO ITS ARRIVAL/PASSAGE THROUGH
THE CWA. SEEMS TO BE SOME CONSENSUS ON A LATE AFTERNOON ARRIVAL
INTO THE NORTHERN CWA WHICH COMBINED WITH ASSOCIATED CLOUD COVER
COULD HOLD TEMPS DOWN A BIT BUT ALSO BRING IN A CHANCE OF SHOWERS
BY LATE AFTERNOON. BULK OF ANY PRECIP WITH THIS SYSTEM STILL
APPEARS TO HOLD OFF UNTIL THE EVENING AND THEN IT QUICKLY EXITS BY
WEDNESDAY MORNING. PATTERN STAYS QUITE ACTIVE WITH ANOTHER HIGH
MOVING SOUTH OF THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT...FLOW TURNING BACK
SOUTHERLY BY THURSDAY MORNING AND THEN ANOTHER COLD FRONT PUSHING
SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT.

GFS/ECMWF IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH LOW PRESSURE LIFTING NORTHEAST
ACROSS THE PLAINS NEXT SATURDAY...SWINGING A WARM FRONT ACROSS THE
AREA SATURDAY MORNING AND THEN A COLD FRONT SATURDAY NIGHT. TOO
EARLY FOR SPECIFICS...BUT IF CURRENT TRENDS CONTINUE...QUITE A
DYNAMIC SYSTEM AND THUNDERSTORMS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE...BUT NOT YET
INCLUDED IN THIS FORECAST/SET OF GRIDS. CMS

.AVIATION...

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

* VFR 5000-6000 FT CIGS BREAKING UP MID-MORNING.

* NORTHWEST WINDS AROUND 10 KTS BECOMING WEST.

* POSSIBLE LLWS TOWARD MONDAY MORNING.

RATZER

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

UPPER TROUGH AXIS WILL MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS
MORNING. SINKING AIR IN THE WAKE OF THIS FEATURE SHOULD WORK TO
ERODE EXTENSIVE AREA OF VFR CEILINGS IN THE 5000-6000 FT RANGE BY
MID-MORNING OR SO...THOUGH SCATTERED VFR STRATOCU MAY LINGER INTO
EARLY AFTERNOON DUE TO LINGERING COOL AIR ALOFT. SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE PLAINS WILL CONTINUE TO SINK SOUTH
THROUGH THE DAY...WITH EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE RIDGE AXIS PASSING
SOUTH OF THE TERMINALS THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WILL ALLOW NORTHWEST
WINDS AROUND 10 KTS TO BECOME MORE WEST AND WEST-SOUTHWEST DURING
THE AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL SHIFT MORE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST THIS EVENING
WITH SPEEDS DROPPING OFF BELOW 10 KTS AS BOUNDARY LAYER DECOUPLES.

LOW PRESSURE DEEPENING OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST LATER TONIGHT/MONDAY
WILL INCREASE SOUTHWEST WINDS ABOVE THE SURFACE OVERNIGHT.
INDICATIONS ARE THAT WINDS AROUND 1000 FT AGL WILL INCREASE INTO
THE 30-35 KT RANGE BY 12Z MONDAY AND MAY PRESENT A FEW HOURS OF
NON-CONVECTIVE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR BEFORE GUSTS START TO MIX TO
THE SURFACE AFTER SUNRISE. WILL EVALUATE FURTHER FOR POSSIBLE
INCLUSION IN 12Z TAF ISSUANCE.

RATZER

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

//OUTLOOK FOR ORD/MDW FOR 12Z MONDAY-12Z SATURDAY...UPDATED 00Z...

.MARINE...
321 AM CDT

MAIN MARINE FORECAST CONCERN CONTINUES TO BE STRONG SOUTHWEST GALE
EPISODE EXPECTED ACROSS LAKE MICHIGAN MONDAY INTO TUESDAY.

GRADIENT CONTINUES TO WEAKEN ACROSS THE WESTERN LAKES EARLY THIS
MORNING AS HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE PLAINS DRIFTS SOUTH...AND EASTERN
PERIPHERY OF HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING MOVES ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST.
THIS RIDGE WILL STRETCH FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE OHIO
VALLEY LATER TONIGHT...WHILE LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS OVER
SASKATCHEWAN. THIS LOW IS FORECAST TO DEEPEN AS IT MOVES SOUTH OF
LAKE WINNIPEG BY MONDAY MORNING...AND NORTH OF LAKE SUPERIOR BY
EARLY TUESDAY. STRONG SURFACE PRESSURE FALLS AND A RESULTING
TIGHTENING OF THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND
WESTERN GREAT LAKES IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN INCREASING SOUTHWEST
WINDS TONIGHT...REACHING GALE FORCE DURING THE MID-MORNING TO EARLY
AFTERNOON HOURS OF MONDAY. MODEL FORECASTS CONTINUE TO DEPICT 40-45
KT GALES ACROSS MUCH OF THE LAKE...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR 50 KT
GUSTS ON THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE LAKE TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND
NIGHT. WITH CONFIDENCE RATHER HIGH IN GALES DEVELOPING...HAVE GONE
AHEAD AND UPGRADED GALE WATCH TO A GALE WARNING FROM MONDAY INTO
MIDDAY TUESDAY. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO EASE A BIT INTO THE 25-30 KT
RANGE AND VEER TO THE WEST-NORTHWEST AS THE TRAILING COLD FRONT
COMES ACROSS THE LAKE TUESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. BRISK WINDS WILL
EVENTUALLY DECREASE LATE WEDNESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES SOUTHEAST
ACROSS THE MIDWEST. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE TROUGH DROPPING INTO THE
NORTHERN LAKES THURSDAY IS EXPECTED TO BRING ANOTHER PERIOD OF
STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS.
