AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
258 PM CDT SAT OCT 13 2012

.DISCUSSION...
257 PM CDT

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...

THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS CONTINUE TO CENTER AROUND THE STORM
SYSTEM EFFECTING THE AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THIS STORM SYSTEM
LOOKS TO PRODUCE HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE AREA
TONIGHT...A SMALL POTENTIAL OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ACROSS MY FAR
SOUTHERN COUNTIES ON SUNDAY...AND ALSO A STRONG WINDS ON SUNDAY.

THE LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY DEPICTS OUR MAIN WEATHER MAKER OUT
ACROSS THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS OF COLORADO...WITH AN 80 KT UPPER JET
PUNCHING NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THIS MID AND UPPER
LEVEL SYSTEM IS INDUCING A STRONG 45+ KT LOW LEVEL JET STRAIGHT OUT
OF THE GULF OF MEXICO NORTHWARD ACROSS THE PLAINS AND THE LOWER
GREAT LAKES REGION. THIS HAS RESULTED IN VERY IMPRESSIVE MOISTURE
TRANSPORT ACROSS THE AREA. IN FACT...THE KDVN SOUNDING FROM 12 UTC
THIS MORNING INDICATED 1.42 INCHES OF PRECIPITABLE WATER...WHICH
INCREASED JUST OVER AN INCH IN UNDER A 12 HOUR PERIOD. PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES OF 1.42 INCHES IN OCTOBER IS 212 PERCENT OF NORMAL.

SCATTERED SHOWERS...WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS...HAVE BEEN
IMPACTING THE AREA TODAY WITHIN VERY MOIST ISENTROPIC ASCENT AS THE
SURFACE WARM FRONT SURGES NORTHWARD ACROSS THE AREA.  IT APPEARS THE
MAIN RAIN EVENT WILL GET GOING TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING. THE
LATEST MODEL GUIDANCE SEEMS TO HAVE A BETTER HANDEL ON THE SYSTEM AS
IT MOVES EASTWARD ACROSS THE PLAINS TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY.
OVERALL...IT APPEARS THE MID LEVEL TROUGH WILL BECOME NEGATIVELY
TILTED LATER TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY AS IT PUSHES ACROSS MID MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN A RAPID CONSOLIDATION AND DEEPENING OF
THE SURFACE LOW TONIGHT.

IT APPEARS THAT THE MAIN HEAVY RAINFALL EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE
TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY AS THE ATMOSPHERIC DYNAMICS INCREASE
SUBSTANTIALLY WITH THIS SYSTEM. BUFFER MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE
PRIME PROFILES FOR VERY HEAVY RAINFALL WITH DEEP WARM CLOUD DEPTHS
IN EXCESS OF 10,000 FEET...AND PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES IN THE 99TH
PERCENTILE (IN EXCESS OF 1.6 INCHES) FOR OCTOBER. IT STILL APPEARS
THAT THE HEAVIEST AXIS OF RAIN TONIGHT WILL BE ACROSS NORTHERN
ILLINOIS AND SOUTHERN WISCONSIN IN THE VICINITY OF THE STRONGEST
MOISTURE CONVERGENCE ALONG THE NOSE OF THE 45+ KT LOW LEVEL JET.
THIS INCLUDES AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF A LINE FROM NEAR FAR SOUTHERN
LA SALLE COUNTIES NORTHEASTWARD TOWARDS THE CHICAGO AREA. SOME
LOCALIZED FLOODING CONCERNS MAY DEVELOP. HOWEVER...I HAVE DECIDED
TO HOLD OFF ON ANY WATCH AT THIS TIME DUE TO THE DRY CONDITIONS OVER
THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS. THERE COULD BE AN INCREASED RISK IN THE
MORE URBAN AREAS.

SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE ON SUNDAY AS IT APPEARS THAT A BAND OF MID
LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS WILL SET UP WITHIN A DEFORMATION ZONE ALONG THE
WESTERN SIDE OF THE SURFACE LOW. THIS AGAIN LOOKS TO BE THE MOST
PRONOUNCED ACROSS NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE REGION. HOWEVER...FARTHER
SOUTH ACROSS MY SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES OF EAST CENTRAL ILLINOIS AND
PORTIONS OF NORTHWESTERN INDIANA THERE COULD BE A LINE OF STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS THAT DEVELOPS ON SUNDAY AHEAD OF THE SURFACE COLD
FRONT. IT APPEARS THAT A MID LEVEL DRY SLOT WILL PUNCH NORTHWARD
ACROSS SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AND INDIANA BY SUNDAY MORNING. THIS COULD
RESULT IN AN INCREASE IN THE MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES...WHICH COULD
SUPPORT SOME STRONGER NEAR SURFACE BASED STORMS. IT APPEARS THE
PRIMARY THREAT WOULD BE VERY STRONG WINDS WITH ANY OF THESE
STORMS.

IF THIS WAS NOT ENOUGH...IT APPEARS THE WINDS WILL BECOME A BIG
CONCERN ON SUNDAY OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS AS WELL. WITH A 45+ KT
LOW LEVEL JET IN PLACE AND THE POTENTIAL FOR MIXING INTO SOME OF
THAT STRONGER MOMENTUM ALOFT...WE COULD SEE WIND GUSTS QUICKLY
INCREASE UP TO 40 KT OUTSIDE OF THUNDERSTORMS...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND
SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80. STRONG SYNOPTIC SCALE PRESSURE RISES OF 4 TO
5 MB IN A 3 HOUR PERIOD ARE EXPECTED TO SPREAD ACROSS THE THE
SOUTHERN 2/3RDS OF MY AREA SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS THE SURFACE COLD
FRONT PUSHES ACROSS THE AREA. THIS SHOULD SUPPORT STRONG WESTERLY
WINDS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. IN FACT...I WOULD NOT BE
SURPRISED TO SEE A COUPLE GUSTS UP TO 45 OR POSSIBLY EVEN CLOSE TO
50 KT AS THE FRONT PUSHES ACROSS THE AREA TOMORROW AFTERNOON...THIS
POTENTIAL IS THE HIGHEST ACROSS MY SOUTHERN COUNTIES. THEREFORE...I
ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR AREAS MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF
INTERSTATE 80.

KJB

LONG TERM...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY...

A STRONG JET AND ACTIVE PATTERN ACROSS THE NORTHERN PACIFIC AT
PRESENT WILL TRANSITION EASTWARD DURING THIS PERIOD. GUIDANCE IS IN
GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE OVERALL LONG WAVE EVOLUTION...AND THIS IS
ESPECIALLY GOOD AGREEMENT CONSIDERING IT DEALS WITH A LARGE SCALE
CUT-OFF LOW BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK. THE SOLUTIONS POINT TOWARD A
SHORT WAVE MOVING EAST ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION TUESDAY NIGHT.
THE INHERENT AIR MASS WILL BE SOMEWHAT DRY...AND THE FOCUS FOR RAIN
AT THIS TIME APPEARS BETTER TO THE NORTH OF THE AREA. MUCH MORE
FAVORABLE CHANCES FOR RAIN LOOK TO ESTABLISH THEMSELVES BY WEDNESDAY
ONWARD AS A 120 KT PLUS JET DIGS SOUTHEAST INTO THE CENTRAL U.S. AND
DEVELOPING A LARGE SCALE UPPER CIRCULATION. HEIGHT FALLS IN ADVANCE
OF THIS ALONG WITH A STRENGTHENING SUB 990 MB SFC LOW /ON MOST
GUIDANCE/ OFFERS THE HIGHER LIKELIHOOD OF SHOWERS AND POTENTIALLY
EVEN CONVECTION IN THE REGION DURING THE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON-NIGHT
PERIOD. CONSIDERING THIS IS EVOLVING INTO A CLOSED LOW ITS POSSIBLE
SOLUTIONS MAY SLOW TOWARD A THURSDAY COLD FRONT ARRIVAL. THE UPPER
CIRCULATION IS EXPECTED TO BECOME GRADUALLY STACKED THROUGH NEXT
WEEKEND AS IT MEANDERS ACROSS THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY/GREAT
LAKES REGION. THE EC AND GEM REMAIN SLOWER THAN THE GFS WITH THIS
AND ARE FAVORED AT THIS TIME. TEMPERATURES ON BOTH TUE AND WED LOOK
MILD WITHIN A WARM AIR ADVECTION REGIME...AND WEDNESDAY COULD BE THE
DAY THAT ENDS UP TURNING OUT THE WARMEST NEXT WEEK. TEMPERATURES
THEN LOOK TO DROP TO SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL FOR THE END OF THE WEEK
INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

.AVIATION...

//ORD AND MDW CONCERNS...UPDATED 18Z...

* IFR CIGS CONTINUE THRU OVERNIGHT. PSBL PATCHY LIFR AT TIMES.

* RA TRENDING TOWARDS VCSH. ANOTHER ROUND OF RA EMBEDDED TS AROUND
  MIDNIGHT. A FEW PERIODS OF RA COULD BE HEAVY...AND LIMIT VSBYS
  BRIEFLY.

* S WINDS CONTINUE WITH GUSTS DEVELOPING. VERY GUSTY WINDS
  DEVELOPING SHORTLY AFT DAYBREAK SUN...INCREASING TO NEAR 30 KT
  BY MIDDAY SUN.

BEACHLER

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

STRONG FALL SYSTEM CONTINUES TO DEVELOP AND APPROACH THE
REGION...SPREADING AN ABUNDANCE OF MOISTURE/CLOUDS ACROSS THE
REGION. WINDS HAVE REMAINED SOUTHERLY LATE THIS MORNING AND WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE GRADIENT IS
EXPECTED TO INCREASE AS STRONGER WINDS ALOFT...WHICH COULD AID IN
KEEPING WINDS GUSTING AT THE SFC IN THE 16 TO 19 KT RANGE
OVERNIGHT. THE GREATEST CHALLENGE REMAINS TO BE COVERAGE/INTENSITY
OF RAINFALL THIS AFTN/EVE. GUIDANCE HAS CONTINUED TO INDICATE A
BREAK OR LULL IN THE STEADIER RA THIS AFTN PSBLY TRENDING TOWARDS
DZ. THEN THE NEXT ROUND OF RA AND SCT TS IS POISED TO DEVELOP
AROUND MIDNIGHT. IT STILL LOOKS PROBABLE THAT THE RA WILL BE THE
DOMINANT FEATURE...WITH EMBEDDED CONVECTION. THUS HAVE OPTED TO
MENTION VCTS WITHIN THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD.

OVERNIGHT RA/TS SHOULD BEGIN TO DIMINISH IN COVERAGE ARND DAYBREAK
AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM STEADILY INCREASES IN INTENSITY AND
APPROACHES NORTHWEST IL BY 14-16Z. AT THIS TIME THE GRADIENT AHEAD
OF THE LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO TIGHT RAPIDLY...WHICH SHOULD
ALLOW CIGS TO SLOWLY COME UP TO MVFR. IN ADDITION EXPECT THE
COVERAGE OF RA TO DIMINISH TO VCSH MIDDAY. THE GREATEST CONCERN
REMAINS WITH THE WIND GUSTS AND POTENTIAL FOR ADDTL CONVECTION SUN
MIDDAY. IT APPEARS THAT ANY THUNDER POTENTIAL AND STRONG STORMS
WOULD BE FURTHER SOUTH OF THE AIRFIELDS...OR ALONG AND SOUTH OF A PONTIAC
TO MICHIGAN CITY LINE. AS FOR THE WIND GUSTS...GUIDANCE HAS
INCREASED AND INDICATES THAT GUSTS BY 14-16Z COULD APPROACH THE 24
TO 30 KT RANGE. THEN AFT 18Z GUSTS FOR ORD/MDW/GYY/DPA COULD PUSH
BEYOND 30 KT TO PSBLY 34 KT. THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL PUSH
CLOSER TO RFD...WHICH SHUD KEEP THE GRADIENT SLIGHTLY LESS AND
KEEP GUSTS LOWER IN THE 20-25KT RANGE.

//ORD AND MDW CONFIDENCE...UPDATED 18Z...

.MARINE...
248 PM CDT

A STRONG FALL SYSTEM IS MOVING EAST ACROSS THE MID MISSOURI VALLEY
LATE THIS AFTERNOON WITH WINDS CLOSE TO GALE FORCE OCCURRING AHEAD
OVER LAKE MICHIGAN. THESE WINDS WILL ABATE SOME THIS EVENING BUT ARE
EXPECTED TO INCREASE AGAIN DURING THE DAY SUNDAY AS THE LOW BEGINS
TO DEEPEN. HAVE DECIDED TO UPGRADE THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THE
INDIANA WATERS TO A GALE WARNING...AND THE GALE WATCH ACROSS THE
OPEN WATERS OF LAKE MICHIGAN TO A GALE WARNING. WINDS OVER THE LAND
ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO AROUND 40 KT LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
EXPECT SOME OF THESE WINDS TO CARRY OFFSHORE INTO THE NEARSHORE
WATERS...BUT VERY WARM AND MOIST AIR OVER THE COOLER WATERS SHOULD
KEEP THESE STRONGER WINDS FROM PUSHING VERY FAR OUT OVER THE LAKE.
AS THE COLD FRONT SLIPS SOUTH ACROSS LAKE MICHIGAN SUNDAY
EVENING...WINDS WILL BECOME NORTHWESTERLY AND INCREASE TO GALES
AGAIN. WE MAY INCREASE INTO THE 40 TO 45 KT RANGE... PARTICULARLY
OVER SOUTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN WHERE VERY STRONG PRESSURE RISES ARE
EXPECTED IN THE WAKE OF THE LOW. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH
MONDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES EAST ACROSS THE AREA...THEN TURN
BACK TO SOUTHERLY TUESDAY. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DROP
ACROSS THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES REGION WEDNESDAY BUT MODELS SHOW A
LOT OF DISAGREEMENT ON THE EVOLUTION OF THIS SYSTEM LEADING TO A
HIGH DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE FORECAST FOR THE LATTER HALF OF
NEXT WEEK. BMD
