RODRIGUEZ

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
311 AM CDT WED OCT 31 2012

.DISCUSSION...
310 AM CDT

THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS ARE SOME LINGERING EFFECTS FROM WHATS
LEFT OF SANDY FOLLOWED BY A TRANSITION FROM A BLOCKY UPPER FLOW TO A
MORE PROGRESSIVE AND SOMEWHAT ACTIVE FLOW PATTERN LATER THIS WEEK
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS THE BIG UPPER LOW
SPINNING OVER PENNSYLVANIA/WESTERN NEW YORK AND LIFTING SLOWLY
NORTHWARD WHILE A BIG BLOCKING RIDGE REMAINS OVER THE CANADIAN
MARITIMES/NORTH ATLANTIC. FLAT RIDGING IS POSITIONED ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PLAINS WITH A SHORTWAVE PASSING TO THE NORTH OF IT. FURTHER
WEST...ANOTHER BIG CLOSED UPPER LOW IS SPINNING OFF THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST COAST WITH SEVERAL WAVES PUSHING OUT AHEAD OF IT AND UP
THE WESTERN FLANK OF THE RIDGE TO THE EAST. AT THE SURFACE...LOW
PRESSURE IS OVER EASTERN LAKE ERIE/WESTERN LAKE ONTARIO WHILE THE
STRONG HIGH THAT WAS SPREAD ACROSS ONTARIO AND THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
VALLEY OF THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS LIFTS NORTHWARD ACROSS HUDSON BAY.

TODAY AND TONIGHT...THE WEATHER CONTINUES TO QUIET DOWN AS THE
SURFACE LOW TO THE EAST WEAKENS AND SLOWLY MOVES FURTHER FROM THE
AREA. BREEZY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT WHICH WE
SAW YESTERDAY. EXPECT WINDS GENERALLY IN THE 15 TO 25 MPH RANGE
ACROSS THE AREA WITH GUSTS OF 30-35 MPH CONTINUING ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST INDIANA SHORELINE...ESPECIALLY THE PORTER COUNTY
SHORE...WHERE SOME 40 MPH GUSTS MAY LINGER THROUGH DAYBREAK. WILL GO
AHEAD AND LET THE WIND ADVISORY FOR LAKE AND PORTER EXPIRE AT 4 AM
AS WINDS HAVE CONTINUED TO EASE. WAVES WILL REMAIN HIGH ON THE LAKE
THROUGH THE DAY BUT WILL GRADUALLY BE SUBSIDING. THE WIND DIRECTION
WILL BE TURNING A BIT MORE WESTERLY OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS WHICH
WILL HELP TO FURTHER MITIGATE WAVE ACTION ALONG THE COOK COUNTY
SHORELINE MINIMIZING THE LAKESHORE FLOODING RISK...THOUGH WAVES WILL
STILL BE LARGE. WILL LET THE LAKESHORE FLOOD WARNING FOR COOK EXPIRE
AT 4 AM AS WELL. WILL CONTINUE WITH THE WARNING FOR LAKE AND PORTER
COUNTIES GIVEN THE CONTINUED ONSHORE FETCH THOUGH WAVES WILL EASE
THROUGH THE MORNING. BANDS OF LIGHT RAIN CONTINUE TO PINWHEEL AROUND
THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER LOW WITH SOME LAKE ENHANCEMENT
LOOKING TO BE OCCURRING AS WELL. THESE HAVE BEEN FOCUSED JUST OFF
THE ILLINOIS SHORE AND INTO NORTHWEST INDIANA OVER THE PAST FEW
HOURS AND LOOK TO CONTINUE THROUGH DAYBREAK BEFORE SHIFTING SLIGHTLY
EASTWARD AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES SLIGHTLY EAST AND LOW LEVEL WINDS
TURN SLIGHTLY MORE WESTERLY. WILL CONTINUE WITH SLIGHT POP MENTION
ACROSS FAR NORTHEASTERN PORTER COUNTY THROUGH THE DAY WITH BANDS OF
RAIN EXPECTED TO CONTINUE WITH THE UPPER LOW AND THE PRESENCE OF
SOME MARGINAL LAKE EFFECT PARAMETERS. THE REST OF THE AREA WILL
REMAIN DRY WITH CLEARING SKIES FROM WEST TO EAST...THOUGH THE FAR
EASTERN CWA FROM CHICAGO EAST WILL LIKELY KEEP SOME CLOUD COVER
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH ADDITIONAL LAKE CLOUDS ACROSS NORTHWEST
INDIANA. TEMPERATURES WILL BE SIMILAR TO THOSE OF TUESDAY WITH
MAINLY UPPER 40S TO AROUND 50...EXCEPT MID 40S ACROSS EASTERN
SECTIONS OF NORTHWEST INDIANA. WINDS WILL LIGHTEN UP TONIGHT WITH
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ACROSS THE AREA WITH ANY LAKE CLOUDS EXPECTED TO
PUSH EAST OF THE AREA AS WINDS TURN MORE WESTERLY. OVERNIGHT LOWS
LOOK TO FALL INTO THE UPPER 20S TO AROUND 30 WITH LOWER 30S IN THE
IMMEDIATE CHICAGO METRO AND NEAR LAKE MICHIGAN.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...THE RIDGE TO THE WEST WILL AMPLIFY AS THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST TROUGH MOVES INLAND THURSDAY MORNING. THE UPPER
RIDGE AXIS WILL REMAIN TO THE WEST THURSDAY AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS BACK IN FROM THE NORTH. BY FRIDAY...THE UPPER TROUGH WILL
MOVE ACROSS SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN AND MANITOBA FRIDAY PUSHING THE
NARROW UPPER RIDGE OVER THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT WITH THE SURFACE RIDGE
CENTERED OVER THE AREA FRIDAY. PRIOR TO THIS...A WEAK WAVE LOOKS TO
TRAVERSE THE EASTERN FLANK OF THE RIDGE BRINGING A PUSH OF COLDER
MID LEVEL AIR INTO THE AREA THURSDAY NIGHT BUT THIS SHOULD OCCUR
WITHOUT ANY PRECIP. HIGHS THURSDAY LOOK TO WARM INTO THE LOW TO EVEN
MID 50S WHILE HIGHS FRIDAY LOOK TO BE 3-5 DEGREES OR SO COOLER.

SATURDAY AND BEYOND...AS THE UPPER RIDGE PUSHES OVER THE AREA FRIDAY
NIGHT WARM ADVECTION WILL BE UNDERWAY THANKS TO IT AND THE
APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH WHICH WILL BE TURNING SOUTHEASTWARD INTO
THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY WITH A WEAK LEAD SHORTWAVE MOVING
AHEAD OF IT ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS. A WEAK SURFACE
LOW WILL MOVE FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY
FRIDAY NIGHT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS WAVE WITH AN INVERTED TROUGH
CROSSING THE AREA. THIS COMBINATION OF FACTORS WILL RESULT IN MINOR
PRECIP CHANCES ARRIVING POSSIBLY AS EARLY AS LATE FRIDAY NIGHT OR
MORE LIKELY SATURDAY MORNING. THE LARGER UPPER LOW THEN MOVES ACROSS
THE AREA SUNDAY BRINGING ANOTHER LOW CHANCE FOR SOME SHOWERS. FROM
THAT POINT THE UPPER TROUGH CONTINUES SOUTHEASTWARD AND EVOLVES INTO
A LARGE LONGWAVE OVER THE EASTERN U.S. INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH
BROAD RIDGING TRYING TO BUILD ACROSS THE WESTERN U.S. THIS PATTERN
LOOKS TO BREAK DOWN SOMEWHAT...HOWEVER...THOUGH IT DOES LOOK RATHER
ACTIVE WITH WEAK SYSTEMS MOVING THROUGH THE INCREASINGLY ZONAL FLOW.
OVERALL EXPECT SIMILAR HIGHS SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY WITH AROUND 50
NORTH TO LOW 50S SOUTH...WITH A SLIGHT WARMING TREND EXPECTED
TUESDAY AS THE FLOW BREAKS DOWN.

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

* GUSTY NORTH/NORTHWEST WINDS THROUGH THE PERIOD.
* POSSIBLE MVFR CIGS TOWARD SUNRISE WEDNESDAY.

KJB

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

THE REMNANTS OF SANDY WILL CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AND MOVE NORTHWARD
ACROSS THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES AND SOUTHERN QUEBEC ON WEDNESDAY. THE
WILL ALLOW THE WINDS TO BECOME MORE NORTHWESTERN FOR THE PERIOD.
OCCASIONAL WIND GUSTS UP AROUND 25 KT ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT...BEFORE
MORE FREQUENT GUSTS SET UP AGAIN BY MID MORNING. HOWEVER...AT KGYY
GUSTS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TONIGHT UP TO 30 KT DUE TO THE PROXIMITY
TO THE LAKE. OTHERWISE...THERE WILL LIKELY BE SOME PERIODS OF CIGS
WITHIN THE 3-4 KFT LEVEL ACROSS THE EASTERN ILLINOIS TERMINALS.
SOME LOWER CIGS ARE POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT ACROSS THE FAR EASTERN
ILLINOIS TERMINALS. HOWEVER...IT APPEARS THAT THE LOWER CLOUDS
WILL STAY EAST ACROSS LAKE MICHIGAN AND NORTHERN INDIANA. AT KGYY
THERE IS A MUCH BETTER CHANCE OF THESE LOWER MVFR CIGS AROUND 1500
FEET AT TIMES THROUGH MID MORNING...BEFORE CIGS RISE ABOVE 3 KFT
DURING THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON.

KJB

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

* MEDIUM CONFIDENCE REGARDING WIND SPEEDS/GUSTS/DIRECTIONS THROUGH
  THE PERIOD.

.MARINE...
249 AM CDT

THE REMNANTS OF SANDY WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHWARD ACROSS THE
EASTERN GREAT LAKES AND INTO SOUTHERN QUEBEC LATER TODAY AND
TONIGHT. HOWEVER...THE WINDS WILL ONLY SLOWLY BE ON THE DECLINE
THROUGH THE DAY...WITH GALES AROUND 40 KT TO START THE DAY EASING TO
30 KT BY VERY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. I WILL LEAVE THE CURRENT GALE
WARNING AS IS FOR NOW. HOWEVER...IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOME GALES MAY
EXTEND A COUPLE HOURS PAST THE CURRENT ENDING TIME. THE WINDS WILL
REMAIN IN THE 20 TO 30 KT RANGE THROUGH FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY OVER THE
OPEN WATERS...BEFORE THEY ABATE FOR THE WEEKEND AS SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS MANITOBA AND WESTERN ONTARIO. FARTHER
SOUTH...AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE LOOKS TO PASS SOUTH OF THE LAKE ON
SATURDAY. THESE TWO PRESSURE SYSTEMS WILL CONTINUE NORTHERLY FLOW
OVER THE LAKE...BUT IT SHOULD BE FAIRLY LIGHT...UNDER 20 KT.

FOR THE NEAR SHORES...I WILL BE REPLACING THE GALE WARNING WITH A
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THE ILLINOIS NEAR SHORES. IT APPEARS WAVES
WILL REMAIN AT OR ABOVE 4 FT THROUGH MUCH OF FRIDAY...SO I WILL
RUN THE ADVISORY THROUGH THIS TIME. FOR THE INDIANA NEAR SHORES I
WILL LEAVE THE GALE WARNING IN EFFECT. THIS AREA WILL NEED A SMALL
CRAFT ADVISORY AS WELL FOR A SIMILAR TIME PERIOD...ONCE THE GALE
CONDITIONS SUBSIDE.
