.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
947 PM CDT

HAVE CLEARED ABOUT THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA FROM SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH. OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS AS WELL AS RADAR/SATELLITE
IMAGERY SUGGEST THAT SUFFICIENT CINH IS IN PLACE TO PREVENT SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT NORTH OF I-80. HAVE OPTED TO LEAVE COOK
COUNTY IN THE WATCH SINCE SOME STRONGER CELLS IN NORTHWEST WILL
COUNTY WILL BE MOVING THROUGH IN THE NEXT 30-60 MINS. FARTHER
SOUTH OVER SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA THE SEVERE THREAT ALSO
APPEARS TO BE DIMINISHING AS PREVIOUS STORMS AND OUTFLOW HAVE
LIKELY RESULTED IN MORE STABLE CONDITIONS. WILL HANG ON TO THE
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR THESE AREAS THOUGH AS THERE IS STILL
SOME STRONG STORMS WITHIN THE LINE AND IT IS NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION THAT THERE COULD BE SOME RE-INTENSIFICATION. IF CLOUD
TOPS CONTINUE TO COOL AND STORMS CONTINUE TO WEAKEN THEN THE
REMAINDER OF THE WATCH MAY BE ABLE TO BE CANCELLED EARLY.

.DISCUSSION...
330 PM CDT

A FEW AREAS OF CONCERN OVER THE COMING DAYS. THE FIRST WILL BE THE
POTENTIALLY SEVERE WEATHER THIS EVENING...FOLLOWED BY VERY HOT
WEATHER OPENING UP THE WORK WEEK. FOLLOWING THE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT...THE NEXT CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION WILL NOT
BE UNTIL LATER IN THE WEEK.

IN THE SHORT TERM...GOING THREAT FOR MORE OF AN EXPANDED
COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE.
SYNOPTIC COLD FRONT WELL TO THE WEST AND ACROSS THE PLAINS AND
TIED TO A LOW LIFTING ACROSS CANADA IS SLOWLY SHIFTING TO THE
EAST. THIS FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE TOWARDS THE REGION
TONIGHT...BUT WEAKEN CONSIDERABLY BY THE TIME IT REACHES EASTERN
IOWA TONIGHT.

FOR THE IMMEDIATE AFTERNOON...SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW HAS ALLOWED A
RATHER LARGE SURGE OF MOISTURE TO BE TRANSPORTED ACROSS THE REGION.
OUTSIDE OF AREAS THAT SAW RAIN THIS MORNING...DEWPOINTS HAVE JUMPED
FROM AROUND 50 DEGREES TO THE MIDDLE AND UPPER 60S. FORECAST
SOUNDINGS NOT INDICATING MUCH DRY AIR TO IMPEDE THE CLIMB...AND
HAVE NUDGED DEWPOINTS UP ACROSS THE AREA. THE HIGHEST AXIS OF
INSTABILITY IS GENERALLY ANTICIPATED TO REMAIN SOUTH OF THE
AREA...AND CLOSER TO THE IOWA/ILLINOIS/MISSOURI JUNCTION...BUT
MUCAPE VALUES IN THE 1500 TO 2000 J/KG RANGE ARE STILL LIKELY
ACROSS THE EAST THIS AFTERNOON AND UP TO THE WI BORDER. OVERALL
SHEAR IS LOW...AND TIED CLOSER TO THE WAVE LIFTING ACROSS
WISCONSIN. GENERALLY EXPECTING THE SMALL...BUT EFFICIENT RAIN
PRODUCING SHOWERS AND THUNDER TO CONTINUE TO BUBBLE THIS AFTERNOON.
THE GREATEST CHANCES THROUGH AFTERNOON DO APPEAR TO BE EAST OF THE
I57 CORRIDOR...AND WEST OF I39.

THE PRIMARY FOCUS LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING WILL BE
TIED TO A STRONG WAVE THAT IS SLIDING ACROSS THE MISSOURI AND IOWA
BORDER THIS AFTERNOON. PRESENTLY...SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CLUSTERS
ARE INCREASING IN OVERALL COVERAGE WITH AND AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE. THE
HIGHEST INSTABILITY AXIS IS WEST AND ACROSS THE MO/IA/IL BORDER
REGION...WITH RAP ANALYZED VALUES NEARING THE 3-4000 MARK. SHEAR
WILL INCREASE AS THE WAVE APPROACHES...AND THE CLUSTER OF STORMS
WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE AS THEY SHIFT EAST...AND INTO A
SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT. FORECAST SOUNDINGS AND MORNING RAOBS
SHOW A CONSIDERABLE INCREASE OF MOISTURE...WITH PWAT VALUES
JUMPING 2/3 TO 3/4 OF AN INCH ABOVE THEIR MORNING VALUES /AND
PEAKING AROUND THE 1.9 INCH RANGE. AS WAS SEEN EARLIER IN THE
DAY...IT DOES NOT TAKE MUCH FOR THESE STORMS TO PUT OUT A LOT OF
PRECIPITATION. THE LATEST HRRR HAS BEEN A DECENT PROXY FOR
COVERAGE AND TIMING...AND ANTICIPATE COVERAGE TO INCREASE FOR
ROCKFORD BEYOND THE 6P HOUR AND A FEW HOURS BEYOND FOR CHICAGO.
HEAVY RAIN IS THE BIGGEST THREAT WITH THESE STORMS...BUT SOME
POCKETS MAY CONTAIN SUB TO MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL AND STRONG
WINDS ARE POSSIBLE...THOUGH DIURNALLY BY THE TIME THEY REACH THE
MAJORITY OF THE CWA...IT WILL BE GETTING INTO AN UNFAVORABLE TIME.
THE RAIN WILL BE WELCOME FOR MANY AREAS...BUT OVERALL DROUGHT
BUSTING ONES ARE NOT A LIKELIHOOD.

LONG TERM...THE JET ENGINE WILL TURN ON. THE COLD FRONT THAT IS
MARCHING EAST ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TODAY WILL BASICALLY
WASH OUT AND ONLY DROP DEWPOINTS DOWN INTO THE LOWER 60S TO UPPER
50S...AND KEEP HIGH TEMPERATURES INTO THE 80S TOMORROW. BIG H8
THERMAL RIDGE WILL SLOWLY SHIFT EAST FROM THE PLAINS AND CLOSE TO
THE REGION...WARMING THE AREA BACK UP MONDAY. ENDED UP BUMPING UP HIGHS
FOR BOTH MONDAY AND TUESDAY TO BE INTO THE UPPER 90 RANGE /AND CAN
SEE A POSSIBLE 100 MARK SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE REGION/ IN THAT TIME.
NOT ONLY WILL IT BE HOT ON MONDAY...IT WILL BE INCREDIBLY WINDY.
FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW MIXED LAYER WINDS BREACHING THE 30KT
RANGE. THE POTENTIAL FOR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL BE
ELEVATED...BUT SPECIFICS WILL BE FOLLOWED UP IN THE FIRE WEATHER
DISCUSSIONS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE 90S WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
WEDNESDAY...BEFORE A FRONT MOVES THROUGH THURSDAY AND COOLS OFF
THE AREA WITH THE NEXT CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS.

SHEA

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
515 PM CDT

HOT AND WINDY CONDITIONS MAY RESULT IN CRITICAL AND DANGEROUS
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS ON MONDAY.

FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING...INCREASING
DEWPOINTS ACROSS THE AREA WILL LIMIT MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY
VALUES TO 35 TO 40 PERCENT AS TEMPERATURES TOP OUT IN THE LOWER
90S. WINDS WILL OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST AT 10 TO 15 MPH...GUSTING
TO AROUND 20 MPH.

SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BRING WETTING RAIN TO
SOME LOCATIONS THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL
FOR ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH LATE THIS EVENING WHICH MAY
BRING SOME ADDITIONAL WETTING RAIN...AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS MAY
EVEN BRING SOME LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.

WHILE RED FLAG CRITERIA WILL NOT BE REACHED TODAY...THE RECENT
VERY DRY CONDITIONS COMBINED WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES...MODESTLY
LOW DEW POINTS AND MODERATELY STRONG WINDS WILL RESULT IN ELEVATED
WILDFIRE DANGER.

A WEAK...COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA TONIGHT AND EARLY
SUNDAY MORNING...BRINGING SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR...WITH HIGHS IN THE
MID AND UPPER 80S.

MUCH WARMER AIR WILL RETURN MONDAY WITH SOUTHWEST WINDS GUSTING AS
HIGH AS 40 MPH. SOME QUESTION REMAINS AS TO HOW LOW DEWPOINTS MAY
MAY DROP MONDAY AFTERNOON IF DRIER AIR ALOFT MIXES DOWN TO THE
SURFACE. CURRENTLY...EXPECT THAT HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE
MIDDLE 90S. EVEN DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 60S WILL CAUSE RELATIVE
HUMIDITY VALUES TO DROP CLOSE TO 30 PERCENT OVER MUCH OF THE AREA
AND DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 50S WILL BRING RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVELS
IN RED FLAG CRITERIA RANGE.

ANOTHER WILD CARD IS HOW RAINFALL OCCURRING THIS AFTERNOON AND HOW
MUCH ADDITIONAL RAINFALL THAT MAY OCCUR LATER THIS EVENING WILL
AFFECT FUEL MOISTURE LEVELS AS WELL AS SOIL MOISTURE LEVELS. THE
GREATER THE AMOUNT OF WIDESPREAD WETTING RAIN TODAY AND TONIGHT...
THE MORE LIKELY THAT RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL BE ABOVE RED
FLAG CRITERIA.

HOWEVER...EVEN IF RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVELS ARE ABOVE RED FLAG
CRITERIA...THE EXPECTED TEMPERATURE AND WIND CONDITIONS COMBINED
WITH THE RECENT DRY CONDITIONS WILL ELEVATE THE FIRE DANGER...
ESPECIALLY FOR ANY AREAS THAT DO NOT RECEIVE MUCH WETTING RAINFALL
THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT AS FUEL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN QUITE LOW.

WHILE HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN THE LOWER AND
MID 90S FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...DEW POINTS ARE EXPECTED TO
SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE...PREVENTING MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY
VALUES FROM DROPPING TO CRITICAL LEVELS.

ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA THURSDAY...BRINGING
ANOTHER CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. DAYTIME TEMPERATURES
WILL BE SOMEWHAT LOWER THURSDAY...AND SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER FRIDAY
WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 70S TO MID 80S.

.AVIATION...

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

* DURING THE EARLY OVERNIGHT PERIOD...THUNDERSTORMS AND GUSTY
  WINDS. STRONGEST STORMS WITH LOW VSYBS AND STRONG WINDS EXPECTED
  TO REMAIN SOUTH OF THE ORD/MDW TERMINALS.

* OVERNIGHT AFTER THE RAIN...POSSIBILITY OF SLIGHTLY REDUCED
  VISIBILITIES.

LENNING

//DISCUSSION...UPDATED 00Z...

TSRA DEVELOPING IN THE VC OF I-80 SHOULD CONTINUE TO FILL IN ALONG
EAST-WEST LINE WITH THIS LINE LIKELY TO DRIFT SLOWLY NORTHWARD
TOWARD CHGO METRO TERMINALS THIS EVENING. ADDITIONAL NORTH-SOUTH
LINE OF TSRA OVER WESTERN ILLINOIS LIKELY TO CONTINUE EAST ACROSS
NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND LIKELY REACH TERMINALS JUST AFTER 0300Z AT
CHGO AND A BIT EARLIER AT RFD. IN THE WAKE OF THE TSRA LOOK FOR
WINDS TO VRB FOR A WHILE BEFORE LOCKING IN MORE W/NW LATE TONIGHT
INTO SUNDAY. CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT WINDS SHOULD BE STRONG
ENOUGH SUNDAY TO PREVENT LAKE BREEZE FROM MAKING IT INTO ORD/MDW.

IZZI

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

* MEDIUM TO HIGH CONFIDENCE IN REMAINING VFR EXCEPT PERHAPS FOR
  BRIEF PERIODS.

* MEDIUM TO LOW CONFIDENCE IN POSSIBLE REDUCED VSBYS OVERNIGHT.

LENNING

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

MONDAY...VFR. SSW WINDS G35KT. VERY HOT/HIGH DENSITY ALTITUDE.

TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...VFR. VERY HOT/HIGH DENSITY ALTITUDE.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...CHC TSRA...OTHERWISE VFR.

.MARINE...
156 PM CDT

AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN ACROSS THE NORTHERN UNITED STATES WILL
PRODUCE SEVERAL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS INTO NEXT WEEK...EACH OF THESE
LOWS ARE EXPECTED TO TRACK FROM THE PLAINS ACROSS THE UPPER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND INTO ONTARIO. THESE SYSTEMS WILL PRODUCE
PERIODS OF STRONGER SOUTHERLY WINDS ACROSS THE LAKE. HOWEVER...THE MAIN
CONCERNS ACROSS THE LAKE WILL BE ON MONDAY AS A STRONG PRESSURE
GRADIENT SETS UP. THIS WILL LIKELY SUPPORT A PERIOD OF 30 KT
SOUTHERLY WINDS ON MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT. THERE IS ALSO A
POTENTIAL FOR SOME GALE FORCE GUSTS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
ILLINOIS AND INDIANA NEAR SHORES. STRONG GUSTS UP AROUND 35 KT ARE
POSSIBLE OVER THE LAND AREAS OF NORTHERN ILLINOIS...AND DUE TO
THE EXPECTED OFFSHORE COMPONENT TO THE FLOW...THESE WIND GUSTS
COULD EASILY AFFECT THE NEAR SHORE WATERS.

SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS SHOULD CONTINUE AROUND 15 TO 25 KT
THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AS WE REMAIN TO THE EAST OF LOW
PRESSURE ACROSS THE PLAINS AND UPPER MIDWEST.
