AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
958 PM CDT SUN OCT 14 2012

.DISCUSSION...
218 PM CDT

LATE THIS AFTERNOON...VISIBLE IMAGERY THIS AFTERNOON HAS BEGUN
TO INDICATE SOME THINNING IN THE CLOUD SHIELD OVER
CENTRAL/NORTHERN IL...WHICH HAS ALLOWED SOME SFC INSTABILITY TO
INCREASE. WHERE THE CLOUDS HAVE THINNED THE MOST...SFC TEMPS HAVE
QUICKLY WARMED TO 70 DEGREES AND MAY WARM A FEW ADDITIONAL DEGREES
LATER THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY SLIPS THROUGH
FROM WEST TO EAST. WINDS REMAIN FROM THE SOUTHWEST...AND HAVE
STEADILY INCREASED. WITH THE THIN POCKETS IN THE CLOUD COVER
BETTER MIXING IS BEGINNING TO OCCUR AND FILTERING THE SFC THE
HIGHER WINDS THAT HAVE BEEN NOTED JUST ABOVE THE SFC. LLVL JET
REMAINS STRONG FROM THE SOUTHWEST AT 50 KTS. THUS IT REMAINS
CONCEIVABLE THAT GUSTS WILL APPROACH 45 MPH AHEAD OF THE FRONT
ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWFA. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE
STEADILY DEVELOPED LATE THIS MORNING AND WILL PERSIST THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON...AS THE ENVIRONMENT BECOMES MORE UNSTABLE FROM SFC
DIFFERENTIAL HEATING UNDER THE THINNING CLOUD SHIELD. THE MID-LVL
LAPSE RATES HAVE ALSO INCREASED ACROSS CENTRAL IL...AND HAVE
BECOME MORE FAVORABLE FOR SEEING RAPID GROWTH IN THE
THUNDERSTORMS. LLVL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE REMAINS FOCUSED ALONG AND
EAST OF A PEORIA TO MICHIGAN CITY LINE...WHERE DEW POINTS ARE
MAINLY IN THE LOW 60S.

THE LATEST GUIDANCE HAS HINTED THAT ADDITIONAL CORRECTIONS HAVE
TAKEN PLACE WITH RESPECT TO THE PRECISE PATH OF THE SFC LOW...NOW
PROGGED TO SLIDE SOUTH OF MILWAUKEE. THIS HAS RESULTED IN PLACING
MUCH OF NORTHERN IL/NORTHWEST IN IN THE MORE FAVORABLE ISALLOBARIC
PRES RISES ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. A FEW GUIDANCE
MEMBERS ARE SUGGESTING THAT 6-7MB/3HR WILL SLIDE ACROSS OUR CWFA
THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING...AND SHOULD ALLOW FOR THE AREA TO SEE
GUSTY WINDS APPROACH 45 MPH WITH A FEW GUSTS AROUND 50 MPH. THE MOST
FAVORABLE LOCATION FOR THE HIGHEST GUSTS REMAINS ALONG AND A PONTIAC
TO CRYSTAL LAKE LINE.

ONCE THE BOUNDARY SLIPS EAST ACROSS THE AREA...TEMPS WILL STEADILY
FALL INTO THE LOW 50S. 500MB TROUGH AXIS WILL ARRIVE AROUND MIDNIGHT
AND WITH STEADY DECLINE IN THE BREEZY CONDITIONS. 850MB THERMAL
TROUGH OF 1 TO 3 DEG C PUSHES OVER THE REGION TONIGHT AS WELL. WITH
THE DRY AIR POURING INTO THE AREA TEMPS WILL THEN COOL FURTHER INTO
THE LOW 40S BY EARLY MON. IN ADDITION TO THE COOL TEMPS...THE PRECIP
SHIELD WILL STEADILY PUSH EAST...AND EXPECT AN END TO THE PRECIP BY
00Z ACROSS THE FAR WESTERN CWFA...THEN 3Z FOR THE EASTERN SECTIONS
OF THE CWFA.

MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
ANTI-CYCLONIC FLOW IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST FOR MON/TUE ACROSS THE
REGION AS THE SFC RIDGE CENTER IS PROGGED TO PUSH INTO SOUTHERN
IOWA/NORTHERN MISSOURI. THE SFC RIDGE WILL STRETCH FROM NORTH TO
SOUTH. TEMPS MON WILL REMAIN COOL ACROSS THE REGION WITH THE THERMAL
TROUGH AT 850MB NOT WARMING MUCH BEYOND 1 TO 4 DEG C. THIS COUPLED
WITH A DECENT DIURNAL CU FIELD DEVELOPING SUGGESTS TEMPS MAY HOLD IN
THE UPPER 50S TO POSSIBLY 60 DEG ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF
THE CWFA MON. FLOW AT THE SFC WILL SLOWLY TURN FROM NORTHWEST TO
SOUTHWEST BY TUE EVENING. 2M TEMP PLUMES INDICATE MUCH WARMER TEMPS
ARE IN STORE FOR TUE AFTN...AND MAY WARM FURTHER BY WED. FOR TUE
TEMPS SHOULD REBOUND INTO THE UPR 60S TO POSSIBLY 70 IN A FEW
LOCATIONS SOUTH OF I-80. TUE NIGHT WILL ALSO BE MUCH WARMER WITH
TEMPS IN THE LOW/MID 50S. A WEAK BOUNDARY WILL BE SLIDING EAST
ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES REGION TUE AFTN/EVE...HOWEVER
IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO INTRODUCE ANY PRECIP TO THE CWFA. AT THIS TIME
THE THINKING IS THAT INCREASED CLOUD COVER WILL BE THE ONLY IMPACT
FROM THE WAVE.

WEDNESDAY...
500MB TROUGH AXIS CONTINUES TO DEPART THE REGION TO THE EAST...WITH
THE SFC RIDGE AXIS SLIDING EAST AS WELL. 850MB THERMAL RIDGE OF 7 TO
10 DEG C WILL LIFT INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS EARLY WED MORNING...WHERE
TEMPS WED WILL EASILY WARM INTO THE MID/UPR 70S. BY WED AFTN THIS
WARM AIR ALOFT WILL STEADILY PUSH EAST UNDER DECENT WARM AIR
ADVECTION. BASED ON THE TEMP PLUMES FOR WED AFTN...TEMPS SHOULD
EASILY WARM TO 70 AND POSSIBLY THE LOW 70S. SO HAVE ADJUSTED TEMPS
WARMER FOR WED TO ACCOUNT FOR THE INCREASED SOUTHWEST FLOW. THE
WILDCARD FOR TEMPS WED WILL BE ON THE STEADILY INCREASING CLOUD
COVER AND PRECIP CHANCES. INSTABILITY SHOULD BEGIN TO INCREASE BY
MIDDAY WED...AND HAVE OPTED TO INCLUDE MENTION OF THUNDER. IF CLOUDS
ARRIVE EARLIER AND ARE THICKER THAN EXPECTED...THE SFC ENVIRONMENT
MAY NOT FULLY REALIZE THE WARM AIR ALOFT AND TEMPS COULD BE COOLER
IN THE MID 60S. THIS IS NOTED BY THE NOISE AMONGST THE ENSEMBLE
MEMBERS IN THE TEMP FORECASTS WED AFTN.

BEACHLER

NEG TILT UPPER TROF AND STRONG SURFACE COLD FRONT FORECAST TO PASS
WEDNESDAY EVENING WITH SHOWERS LIKELY AND POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS.
GFS A BIT FASTER THAN ECMWF. DRY SLOT FORECAST TO WRAP IN BY THU
MORNING. MODELS DIVERGE CONSIDERABLY FROM THU INTO THE WEEKEND.
BOTH ECMWF AND GFS KEEP UPPER LOW SPINNING ACROSS THE AREA FOR A
TIME BUT GFS IS MORE PROGRESSIVE. ECMWF AND GEM SLOWER AND FURTHER
SOUTH WITH UPPER LOW. EITHER WAY THU NIGHT AND FRI LOOK TO BE COOL
AND WET. GFS WOULD THEN SUGGEST DRYING OUT WITH SLOWLY MODERATING
TEMPS FOR SAT AND SUN WHILE ECMWF WOULD KEEP THINGS COOL AND
SHOWERY. WILL MAINTAIN LOW CHANCE POPS THROUGH THE WEEKEND DUE TO
UNCERTAINTY.

.AVIATION...

//ORD AND MDW CONCERNS...UPDATED 03Z...

* MVFR CIGS HOVERING AROUND 1500 FT AT 0255Z BUT EXPECTED TO LOWER
  SLIGHTLY BELOW 1500 FT YET THIS EVENING...POSSIBLY BEFORE 04Z.
  CLEARING ARRIVES 07-08Z OR SO.

* NORTHWEST WINDS DIMINISHING WITH SOME GUSTS INTO THE MID 20S
  LINGERING THROUGH 04Z OR SO.

MDB

//DISCUSSION...UPDATED 03Z...

MVFR CIGS CONTINUE ACROSS THE TERMINALS AT 03Z. SOME IMPROVEMENT
HAD OCCURRED IN THE CHI METRO OVER THE LAST HOUR BUT A SLIGHT
DOWNWARD TREND IS EXPECTED TO COMMENCE IN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO
BRINGING CIGS BACK INTO THE 011-014 RANGE. CLEARING IS STEADILY
WORKING TOWARD THE AREA HOWEVER AND HAVE TWEAKED EXPECTED TIMING
OF ITS ARRIVAL IN THE LATEST TAF UPDATE. THERE ALSO LOOKS TO BE A
BRIEF PERIOD OF 050-060 FT CIGS LATE TONIGHT BUT HAVE LEFT OUT OF
THE TAF. WINDS ARE STEADILY DIMINISHING WITH GUSTS INTO THE LOW
TO MID 20S BECOMING LESS FREQUENT WITH TIME.

MDB

FROM 00Z...

DEEPENING SURFACE LOW HAS PUSHED INTO NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN AT
00Z WITH THE ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT NOW PAST THE TERMINALS. STRONG
PRESSURE RISES CONTINUE TO DRIVE STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS WITH GUSTS
GENERALLY PEAKING AROUND 30 KT BUT SUSPECT GYY MAY GUST TO 40 OR
BETTER GIVEN PROXIMITY TO THE LAKE. WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH
THROUGH THE EVENING. LOWER END MVFR CIGS CONTINUE ACROSS THE
TERMINALS WITH S0ME PATCHY IFR STILL BEING OBSERVED BUT EXPECT
THAT THE MVFR WILL PREVAIL. SATELLITE CONTINUES TO SHOW CLEARING
WORKING SOUTHEASTWARD TOWARDS THE AREA AND THIS WILL ARRIVE LATE
THIS EVENING NORTHWEST AND EARLY TONIGHT SOUTHEAST. SPECIFIC
TIMING OF CLEARING MAY NEED TO BE TWEAKED THROUGH THE EVENING.
BEYOND THAT HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST ON MONDAY
KEEPING NORTHWEST WINDS IN PLACE...WITH SOME GUSTS INTO THE 15-20
KT RANGE POSSIBLE THROUGH MIDDAY. WINDS LOOK TO EASE DURING THE
AFTERNOON THEN BECOME CALM OR LIGHT AND VARIABLE MONDAY EVENING.
EXPECT THAT THERE WILL BE FEW-SCT STRATOCU DEVELOPMENT DURING THE
MID MORNING WITH BASES IN THE 2000-3000 FT RANGE LIFTING TO 4000
FT OR BETTER INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON.

MDB

//ORD AND MDW CONFIDENCE...UPDATED 03Z...

* MEDIUM-HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT CIGS WILL LOWER SLIGHTLY BELOW 1500
  FT YET THIS EVENING...MEDIUM CONFIDENCE THAT IT WILL BE BEFORE
  04Z. HIGH CONFIDENCE IN CLEARING LATER...MEDIUM CONFIDENCE THAT
  IT WILL BE BETWEEN 07-08Z.

* HIGH CONFIDENCE IN WIND TRENDS.

MDB

//OUTLOOK FOR ORD/MDW FOR 12Z TUESDAY-12Z SUNDAY...UPDATED 00Z...

TUESDAY...BREEZY SOUTH WINDS...VFR.

WEDNESDAY...CHANCE SHRA/TSRA DURING THE DAY AND LIKELY AT NIGHT.
MVFR LIKELY WITH IFR POSSIBLE.

THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...LOW CHANCE OF SHRA. PERIODIC MVFR
CIGS POSSIBLE.

MDB

.MARINE...
437 AM CDT

STRONG AND STRENGTHENING STORM SYSTEM WILL TRACK ACROSS LAKE
MICHIGAN LATER TODAY...AS IT DOES SO WILL BRING INCREASINGLY STRONG
WINDS. AS LOW DEEPENS AND APPROACHES THE LAKE EXPECT NORTHEAST GALES
TO DEVELOP OVER THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE LAKE BY EARLY
AFTERNOON. SOUTH OF THE SHARPENING WARM FRONT STRONG SOUTH WINDS ARE
EXPECTED...THOUGH WITH SUCH WARM/HUMID AIR ATTEMPTING TO ADVECT OVER
THE RELATIVELY COLDER LAKE WATERS GREATER STABILITY MAY PREVENT
FULL POTENTIAL OF WINDS TO REACH THE SURFACE OVER THE OPEN LAKE. AS
THE LOW PASSES EAST OF THE LAKE VERY LATE THIS AFTERNOON VERY STRONG
PRESSURE RISES ON THE ORDER OF 8MB/3HR AND COLD AIR ADVECTION SHOULD
ALLOW FOR PERIOD OF VERY STRONG NORTHWESTERLY GALES TO POSSIBLY
STORM FORCE WINDS TO DEVELOP. MODERATELY CONFIDENT IN THE POTENTIAL
FOR 50-55KT STORM FORCE WINDS FOR A TIME THIS EVENING...BUT WITH
DURATION PROBABLY ONLY AN HOUR OR TWO FELT COMFORTABLE MAINTAINING
THE GALE WARNING AND HIGHLIGHTING THE THREAT IN AN MWS. WINDS
RAPIDLY DECREASE LATE TONIGHT INTO MONDAY AS STORM BEGINS TO WEAKEN
AND MOVE EAST. WEAK RIDGE PASSES OVER THE LAKE MONDAY NIGHT WITH NEW
LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPING OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND RESULTING IN A
RAMPING UP OF SOUTHERLY WINDS TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY EVENING.
POTENTIAL ONCE AGAIN EXISTS FOR ONE OR MORE PERIODS OF GALES IN THE
TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY TIME FRAME AS VERY POWERFUL LOW PRESSURE (
POTENTIALLY <29.0 INCH) DEVELOPS OVER ALBERTA AND DROPS SOUTHEAST
TOWARD THE UPPER MIDWEST.
