AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
913 PM CST SUN JAN 22 2012
.DISCUSSION...
910 PM CST
NOT MUCH CHANGE TO THE GOING FORECAST THIS EVENING. TRENDS ARE
PANNING OUT AS EXPECTED AND ARE IN A MONITOR MODE WITH THE
CONVECTION TO THE SOUTH. ACROSS THE AREA...VAD WIND PROFILE SHOW
WINDS AT 1KFT GENERALLY OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST AT 20 OR SO KT...AND
AT 3KFT...SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST AT 50 TO 55KT. MODEL PROGS SHOW THAT
THE LLJ WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE AND WILL GIVE ANY STORMS THAT
WORK THROUGH...THE POTENTIAL BE STRONG. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES HAD
BEEN PROGGED TO RANGE FROM 6-7.5 C/KM THIS EVE...BUT RUC ANALYSIS
SHOWED THAT BEING ON THE WANE AS OF 03Z...WITH THE HIGHEST VALUES
SHIFTING EAST. DESPITE THE SURGE OF WARMTH AND
MOISTURE...CONVECTION WILL HAVE TO STRUGGLE AGAINST A STABLE
SURFACE AIRMASS. THE BEST FOCUS STILL SET TO REMAIN SOUTH FOR
SEVERE ACTIVITY...WITH THE BEST FOCUS LOCALLY...GENERALLY EAST OF
THE I-57 CORRIDOR THROUGH THE MIDNIGHT HOUR WHERE A FEW RUMBLES OF
THUNDER MAY BE HEARD. LATEST GRIDS AND ZONES ARE OUT. SHEA
//PREV DISCUSSION...
357 PM CST
JUST 48 HOURS AFTER A WINTER STORM...THE WEATHER WILL SWING
VIGOROUSLY THE OTHER WAY ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY
TONIGHT. MUCH OF THE ATTENTION ON THE FORECAST WAS SPENT ON THE
PRESENT THROUGH MONDAY...WITH CONCERNS ON DENSE FOG...INITIAL
FREEZING DRIZZLE...CONVECTION...GUSTY WINDS...AND SOME SNOW TO
ROUND IT OUT DURING MONDAY.
SYNOPSIS...THE WELL-DEFINED UPPER LOW IS TAKING BETTER SHAPE OVER
THE CENTRAL PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON...WITH SIGNS OF A STRONG MID-
LEVEL JET AND DRY SLOT DEVELOPING INTO THE OZARKS. THE SURFACE LOW
AT 992 MB OVER EASTERN KS HAS BEEN SLIGHTLY DEEPER THAN SOME OF
THE MODELS HAD INDICATED FOR THIS AFTERNOON. THE PRIMARY SURFACE
THETA-E GRADIENT IS DRAPED FROM NORTHERN MO INTO SOUTHERN IL.
LOW-LEVEL FLOW HAS BEEN INCREASING OVER THE FORECAST AREA...WHICH
IN PLACES HAS CAUSED SOME BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF THE LIGHT AND
FLUFFY SNOW SEEN THIS PAST FRIDAY. TEMPERATURES HAVE RESPONDED TO
THE RETURN FLOW AS WELL...CLIMBING INTO THE MID 30S ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. INCREASING SURFACE
TEMPERATURES AND DEW POINTS WILL CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT...WITH THE
PRIMARY GRADIENT MARCHING MORE QUICKLY NORTH THROUGH IL AND IN
THAN IT HAD TODAY AS CYCLOGENESIS FURTHER OCCURS. THE SURFACE LOW
WILL SHIFT NORTHEAST TO NEAR THE QUAD CITIES BY 3 AM AS THE UPPER
TROUGH BECOMES NEGATIVELY TILED. THE COLD FRONT WILL PUSH QUICKLY
FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA BETWEEN 3 AM
AND 7 AM...WITH LIKELY AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND CONVECTION AHEAD OF
IT BETWEEN 10 PM AND 3 AM. THE LOW WILL THEN SHIFT ON TO THE
NORTHERN PART OF LAKE MICHIGAN BY LATE MONDAY...KEEPING WESTERLY
WINDS GUSTY HERE.
DRIZZLE/FOG/BLOWING SNOW TONIGHT...THE EXPANSION OF DRIZZLE
ACROSS THE AREA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON LINED UP WELL WITH SATURATION
AND SOME WEAK ADIABATIC OMEGA ON THE 275K AND 280K SURFACES.
CONTINUING TO LOOK AT NEAR-SURFACE LAYERS INTO TONIGHT ON THE
RUC...THE PROJECTION IS FOR THE GREATER LIFT IN SATURATION TO MOVE
NORTH OF THE AREA BY EARLY TO MID EVENING. IN ADDITION...THE
SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO BE ABOVE FREEZING IN ALL
AREAS BY 6 PM. IN THE DIRECT PATH OF THE LOW...TOWARDS
NORTHWEST/NORTH CENTRAL IL...THE WINDS WILL ACTUALLY BEGIN TO
DECREASE WITHIN THE INFLECTION IN THE PRESSURE PATTERN. THIS MAY
ALLOW CURRENT VISIBILITY TO FURTHER REDUCE FOR SOME DENSE FOG. AT
THIS POINT HAVE JUST HIGHLIGHTED WITH AREAS OF FOG TONIGHT. EXPECT
THAT WITH THE WINDS FORECAST TONIGHT SOME OF THIS SHALLOW
BLOWING/DRIFTING WILL CONTINUE IN RURAL AREAS. WILL MENTION IN THE
FORECAST AND MONITOR CLOSELY.
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TONIGHT...AFTER A PRECIPITABLE WATER OF ONLY
0.20 ON THE MORNING ILX SOUNDING...A SIGNIFICANT REBOUND TO NEAR
1.1 INCHES IS EXPECTED TONIGHT ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN IL INTO
IN. THIS IS PART OF AN ANOMALOUSLY STRONG LOW LEVEL JET...WHICH THE
22.12 NAM HAD AT SEVEN STANDARDIZED ANOMALIES ABOVE NORMAL. THIS
STRONG WIND FIELD IS WHAT WOULD GIVE ANY THUNDERSTORMS THE CHANCE
TO BE SEVERE...COMPENSATING FOR LIMITED LOW-LEVEL
INSTABILITY/FAVORABLE LAPSE RATES. MARGINAL INSTABILITY ALOFT IS
PRESENT...AT 500-1000 J/KG IN THE FAR SOUTHEAST/...HELPED BY
STRONG DIFFERENTIAL THETA-E ADVECTION WITH THE DRY SLOT INTRUSION.
THIS OVERRIDES THE SURFACE FOCUS OF A COLD FRONT /AND POSSIBLY A
PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH JUST AHEAD OF THIS/...WHICH SHOULD HELP
CONVECTION TO DEVELOP AND EVOLVE DURING THE 7 PM TO 10 PM TIME
ACROSS SOUTHWEST INTO CENTRAL IL.
BOUNDARY LAYER DEW POINTS IN EXCESS OF 50F ARE PROJECTED BY THE
NAM/GFS TO BE NEAR THE SOUTHEAST FORECAST AREA EDGE...WHICH WILL
KEEP THE LOWER PROFILES MOIST BASED ON FORECAST SOUNDINGS. GIVEN
THE VERY CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE SNOW COVER EDGE BASED ON THIS
MORNINGS OBSERVATIONS...EVEN HIGHER TEMPERATURE AND DEW POINTS
/BUT WITH THE SAME LOW TEMP AND DEW POINT SPREADS/ MAY BE SEEN
INTO THE SOUTHEAST FORECAST AREA. THIS SETUP WOULD FURTHER HELP
FOR WINDS TO PUNCH THE INVERSION AND MAKE IT TO THE SURFACE WITHIN
SHOWERS AND ESPECIALLY ORGANIZED THUNDERSTORMS. FORECAST NAM
SOUNDINGS AT CHAMPAIGN SHOW ALMOST 70 KTS AND 3000 FT...SO PLENTY
AVAILABLE TO MIX DOWN. THIS SETUP WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED TOO FOR
THE CHANCE OF A TORNADO AS FAR NORTH AS OUR SOUTHEAST FORECAST
AREA...AS FORECAST PROFILES AND SYNOPTICS APPROACH THOSE THAT CAN
PRODUCE COOL SEASON EPISODES.
TO THE NORTH OF THE SEVERE CONVECTIVE THREAT...RAIN SHOWERS ARE
EXPECTED WITH POTENTIAL THUNDER. SOME OF THE RAINFALL RATES COULD
BE TEMPORARILY HEAVY...WHICH COULD FURTHER AGGRAVATE RUNOFF
ALREADY HEIGHTENED FROM SNOW MELT TONIGHT.
MONDAY...THE COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL WRAP IN QUICKLY BEHIND THE
FRONT. PARAMETERS FOR GUSTY WINDS...SUCH AS STEEPENED LOW-LEVEL
LAPSE RATES AND STRONG LOW-LEVEL Q-VECTOR DIVERGENCE...ARE BEST
SEEN IN THE SOUTHERN FORECAST AREA. WIND GUSTS TO NEAR 40 MPH ARE
EXPECTED AND IT IS POSSIBLE A WIND ADVISORY WILL BE NEEDED IN
TIME. THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE OVERALL UPPER TROUGH WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE AREA...LIKELY PRODUCING SOME SNOW FOR NORTHERN AREAS.
SOME MINOR ACCUMULATION UP TO POSSIBLY AN INCH COULD OCCUR NEAR
THE STATE LINE. BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON...DEEP NVA IS FORECAST
WHICH SHOULD END ANY LIGHT SNOW/FLURRIES. CLOUDS WILL BE SLOWER TO
CLEAR...WITH SOME STILL HOLDING ON IN NORTHERN AND EASTERN AREAS
ON TUESDAY MORNING.
BEYOND...LITTLE CHANGES MADE TO THIS PORTION OF THE
FORECAST...WHICH LOOKS RELATIVE QUIET COMPARED TO THE PAST TEN
DAYS. A BLEND OF THE BETTER PERFORMING MODELS AND THE GOING FORECAST
WAS PRUDENT AT THIS TIME.

.AVIATION...
//ORD AND MDW CONCERNS...UPDATED 03Z...
* IFR/LIFR VIS/CIG CONDITIONS IN DRIZZLE/FOG THIS EVENING.
* INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR PERIODS OF HEAVIER RAIN BY LATE

* POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS NEAR AND SOUTH/SOUTHEAST OF ORD/MDW
LATE EVENING/OVERNIGHT.
* LLWS THIS EVENING WITH 50-60 KT SSW WINDS 1500-2000 FT AGL.
* BRISK SOUTHEAST WINDS SHIFTING SOUTH OVERNIGHT...THEN SOUTHWEST

RATZER
//DISCUSSION...UPDATED 03Z...
WARM/MOIST AIR CONTINUES TO SURGE NORTHWARD ACROSS IL/IN IN ADVANCE
OF DEEP AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CENTERED OVER FAR WESTERN MO AT 03Z.
WITHIN THIS PLUME OF WARM/MOIST AIR...ELEVATED INSTABILITY AND
STRONG FORCING FOR ASCENT ARE COMBINING TO PRODUCE SCATTERED
CONVECTIVE SHOWERS AS FAR NORTHEAST AS CHICAGO METRO AREA...AND
THUNDERSTORMS FROM ARKANSAS AND SOUTHEAST MO INTO EAST CENTRAL IL.
HIGH RESOLUTION HRRR RUNS CONTINUE TO SHOW GOOD RUN TO RUN
CONSISTENCY THIS EVENING...SUGGESTING GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR MORE
WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY REMAIN EAST/SOUTH OF THE
ORD/MDW TERMINALS...THOUGH RAIN/SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY SOME EMBEDDED
THUNDER WILL LIKELY DEVELOP/INCREASE IN COVERAGE INTO NORTHEAST IL
BY 05-07Z. IN ADDITION...SOME TSRA HAVE BEEN OVER/EAST OF THE KANSAS
CITY AREA THIS EVENING...DIRECTLY BENEATH UPPER TROUGH. LATEST HRRR
PROGS INDICATE THIS COULD POTENTIALLY AFFECT PARTS OF FAR NORTHERN
IL AROUND 12Z OR SO AS THE NEGATIVELY TILTED UPPER TROUGH AXIS LIFTS
NORTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA. FOR NOW...LIFR CIGS AND VSBYS GENERALLY
IN THE 1-2SM RANGE ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE. INCREASING COVERAGE OF
SHOWERS MAY HELP RAISE VISIBILITY A BIT OVERNIGHT...BUT MORE
RELIABLE IMPROVEMENT WILL LIKELY HAVE TO WAIT FOR PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH
PASSAGE MONDAY MORNING.
RATZER
PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FROM 00Z...
VERY LITTLE CHANGE TO THINKING FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST ISSUANCE...
WITH ONLY SOME MINOR TWEAKING OF NEAR TERM CIG/VIS PER CURRENT
REGIONAL OBSERVATIONS.
LOW PRESSURE CONTINUES TO DEEPEN ACROSS FAR EASTERN KANSAS EARLY
THIS EVENING...IN RESPONSE TO STRONG MID-LEVEL DISTURBANCE
ROUNDING BASE OF UPPER TROUGH OVER THE SOUTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS.
UNSEASONABLY MOIST/WARM AIR IS BEING PULLED NORTH ACROSS THE
MIDWEST IN RESPONSE TO THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM...RESULTING IN
WIDESPREAD LOW STRATUS...DRIZZLE AND FOG DEVELOPMENT AS MOISTURE
SPREADS ATOP COLD GROUND AND SNOW PACK. AS SURFACE/UPPER LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEMS LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION OVERNIGHT...
STEADIER RAIN IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP WHICH MAY HELP IMPROVE
VISIBILITY A BIT. HOWEVER...UNSEASONABLY WARM/MOIST AND UNSTABLE
AIR WILL ALSO BE PULLED INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION LATE TONIGHT
WHICH COMBINED WITH STRONG FORCING AND WIND FIELDS WITH THIS
VIGOROUS STORM SYSTEM MAY ALSO RESULT IN THE POTENTIAL FOR
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS...PARTICULARLY EAST/SOUTHEAST OF CHICAGO.
LOCALIZED HEAVIER RAINFALL AND STRONG WIND GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE
WITH SOME OF THESE STORMS. CONFIDENCE ON THUNDER OCCURRING AS FAR
NORTHWEST AS ORD/MDW NOT HIGH...THOUGH IT IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE
AND WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR CURRENT CONVECTION DEVELOPING OVER
ARKANSAS AND SOUTHEAST MISSOURI AS IT RAPIDLY MOVES NORTHEAST THIS
EVENING.
LOW LEVEL NON-CONVECTIVE WIND SHEAR WILL LIKELY BE AN ISSUE THIS
EVENING...AS WINDS IN THE 1500-2000 FT RANGE ARE EXPECTED TO BE
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST IN THE 50-60 KT RANGE...WHILE SFC WINDS WILL BE
