AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
342 PM CDT SUN OCT 28 2012

.DISCUSSION...
310 PM CDT

THE PRIMARY CONCERNS WITH THE FORECAST FOCUS ON THE LOCAL IMPACTS
OF SANDY AS IT BECOMES EXTRATROPICAL OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.
THESE EFFECTS WILL BE MAINLY CONFINED TO THE LAKE COUNTIES AND
INCLUDE HIGH WINDS AND LAKESHORE FLOODING.

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS IN PLACE FROM QUEBEC SOUTHWEST
THROUGH THE OZARKS. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT HAS BEGAN TO TIGHTEN
FROM THE EAST AS HURRICANE SANDY PROGRESSES NORTH. STIFF NORTHERLY
WINDS OFF OF LAKE MICHIGAN THIS AFTERNOON ARE A SIGN OF THINGS TO
COME...AND ALREADY TODAY SOME GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 30 MPH HAVE BEEN
OBSERVED. MARGINAL CONVERGENCE OVER THE LAKE AS WELL AS LIMITED
SATURATION DEPTH /CLOUD DEPTHS 3000 FT OR LESS/ HAVE KEPT ANY
SHOWERS OR SPRINKLES FROM BEING PERSISTENT. IN FACT...ANY ECHOES
HAVE MAINLY BEEN SPRINKLES. SO WILL HAVE JUST A MENTION OF THAT
POSSIBILITY THIS EVENING...AND THEN CONTINUE WITH THE OVERNIGHT
SHOWER WORDING AS CONVERGENCE IMPROVES TOWARD THE IL/IN STATE
LINE. LAKE-INDUCED CLOUDS ARE LIKELY TO WORK INLAND A COUPLE TIERS
OF COUNTIES TONIGHT...BUT MUCH OF WHAT IS OUT THERE AS OF MID-
AFTERNOON HAS BEEN DIURNALLY ENHANCED AND SHOULD DIMINISH IN
COVERAGE.

LIGHTER WINDS AND NO ANTICIPATED CLOUDS TONIGHT OVER THE FAR
WESTERN/NORTHWESTERN FORECAST AREA SHOULD ALLOW FOR TEMPERATURES
SEVERAL DEGREES COOLER...WITH MID TO UPPER 20S. DEW POINTS IN
THESE AREAS ARE IN THE LOWER 30S...SO WITH A CROSSOVER APPROACH
SOME FOG IS POSSIBLE TOWARD ROCKFORD AND DIXON. HAVE NOT MENTIONED
ANY FOG AT THIS TIME BUT SOMETHING TO MONITOR THIS EVE.

INFLUENCE ON THE WEATHER PATTERN WILL THEN BE DICTATED BY HURRICANE
SANDY AS IT BLOCKS THE WEST-TO-EAST PROGRESSION ACROSS THE UPPER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND GREAT LAKES. THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER
FORECASTS THE SYSTEM TO MAKE LANDFALL IN THE NJ/DELMARVA REGION
LATE MONDAY NIGHT WITH THE REMNANT CENTER PROGRESSING SLOWLY TO
WESTERN NY BY MIDDAY WEDNESDAY. THE RADIUS OF INFLUENCE IS ALREADY
IMPRESSIVELY MASSIVE WITHIN THE PRESSURE AND WIND FIELD...AND THAT
WILL ONLY EXPAND AS EXTRATROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS TAKE OVER WITH
THE PHASING OF THE NORTHERN STREAM AND THIS SYSTEM. WHAT BECOMES
VERY APPARENT BY LATE MONDAY NIGHT IS THE UNIDIRECTIONAL NORTHERLY
FLOW THROUGH THE 500 MB TO SURFACE LAYER OVER LAKE MI...INCLUDING
A 50 TO 65 KT PLUS JET /DEPENDING ON GUIDANCE/ IN THE 1000-4000 FT
LAYER. THIS FLOW PATTERN ALSO MAXIMIZES THE FETCH OF LAKE
MICHIGAN. THAT AND THE DESTABILIZED BOUNDARY LAYER OVER THE WARM
LAKE WILL ALLOW FOR WAVES TO VERY LIKELY REACH 20 FT ALREADY BY
TUE MORNING ALONG THE INDIANA AND SOUTHEAST COOK COUNTY IL SHORES.
LAKESHORE FLOODING IS LIKELY WITH SUCH WAVES AND PERSISTENCE
/20 FT PLUS WAVES THROUGH AT LEAST WEDNESDAY MORNING/...SO A
LAKESHORE FLOOD WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED. THE EFFECTS OF THIS WILL
BE GREATEST IN NORTHWEST IN...BUT SUCH AS THE SEPTEMBER 30 2011
RECORD WAVE EVENT OVER SOUTHERN LAKE MI...SOME IMPACTS ARE LIKELY
IN COOK COUNTY INCLUDING CHICAGO.

NORTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO STEADILY INCREASE ON MONDAY AND
MONDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE LAKE AND NORTHEAST IL AND NORTHWEST
IN...AND ARE FAVORED TO REACH THEIR MAXIMA DURING THE DAY
TUESDAY. THE TYPE OF SPEEDS REACHED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAKE
SHOULD BE EXPERIENCED ALL THE WAY TO THE IN SHORE GIVEN THE
FRICTIONLESS FETCH...AND AT THIS TIME THIS IS LIKELY TO INCLUDE
GUSTS OF 50 TO 65 MPH. WORKING INLAND THESE WILL TAPER
QUICKLY...BUT GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH ARE LIKELY TO EXTEND
INLAND THROUGH NORTHWEST INDIANA AN ADDITIONAL TIER OR TWO OF
COUNTIES. AT THIS TIME...A HIGH WIND WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE
LAKESHORE COUNTIES EXPERIENCING THE ONSHORE FLOW. AS THE CENTER OF
CIRCULATION FILLS MORE RAPIDLY BY WEDNESDAY AND PRESSURE FALLS
CEASE ACROSS THE WESTERN LAKES...THE WINDS WILL DIMINISH BUT HIGH
WAVES WILL CONTINUE.

IN TERMS OF PRECIPITATION FROM THE EXTRATROPICAL CYCLONE...THERE
SHOULD BE A SHARP CUT-OFF ON THE WESTERN EDGE OF BOTH CLOUDS AND
PRECIPITATION. THIS IS OFTEN SEEN AROUND THE WESTERN PERIPHERY OF
INLAND TROPICAL SYSTEMS...AND THERE IS A STRONG SIGNAL OF MID-
LEVEL NVA AND DEEP DRYNESS ON GUIDANCE ON TUE AND WED ACROSS
NORTHERN IL. SO HAVE CONFINED POPS TO PRIMARILY NORTHWEST
IN...WHICH COULD SEE SOME LAKE ENHANCEMENT TO RAIN SHOWERS THAT
ARE ABLE TO DEVELOP. IT IS POSSIBLE THE WHOLE CWA REMAINS DRY WITH
RAIN REMAINING EAST.

THE WEATHER PATTERN WILL LITERALLY NEED A LITTLE TIME TO ADJUST
BACK TO NORMAL...AND FROM LATER THU THROUGH SAT THE AREA LOOKS TO
REMAIN DRY AS WHAT IS LEFT OF OUR OLD HIGH PRESSURE TO THE WEST
AT PRESENT FINALLY GETS TO MOVE EAST OVER THE AREA. BASICALLY NO
CHANGES MADE TO NEXT WEEKEND FORECAST FROM A GUIDANCE BLEND.

.AVIATION...

//ORD AND MDW CONCERNS...UPDATED 20Z...

* NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS WITH MAX GUSTS OF 25 KT DIMINISHING TO GUSTS
  TO 20 KT FROM MID/LATE AFTN THROUGH MIDNIGHT.

* NORTH WINDS GUSTING TO 20-25 KT BEGINNING MID MONDAY MORNING.

* HIGH END MVFR CIGS PSBL MONDAY MORNING.

JEE

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

WITH HIGH PRESSURE TO THE WEST AND HURRICANE SANDY OFF TO THE
EAST...A WINDY AND INTERESTING FORECAST PERIOD IS UPON US. THE
AXIS OF THE SURFACE RIDGE WILL EXTEND FROM SOUTH CENTRAL ONTARIO
THROUGH THE MID MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY WHILE THE SURFACE LOW
ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMNANTS OF HURRICANE SANDY IS PROGGED TO MOVE
OVER THE NJ/NY AREA LATE TOMORROW AFTN/EVENING. AS THE LOW MOVES
WESTWARD...THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN BETWEEN THE HIGH AND
THE LOW RESULTING IN GUSTY WINDS.

BUT FIRST...GOING WITH A DRY FORECAST...BUT COULD SEE A FEW STRAY
VERY LIGHT SHRA MOVE OVER GYY AND MAYBE MDW. SINCE THE RADAR IS
CURRENTLY SHOWER FREE...IF ANY -SHRA DO FORM...NOT EXPECTING A
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT. GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT FOR
ORD...MDW...AND GYY WITH GYY HAVING THE STRONGEST AND LONGEST
LASTING GUSTS. CURRENTLY THINKING GUSTS WILL DIMINISH ARND
MIDNIGHT AT ORD AND MDW AS WINDS BECOME MORE NORTHERLY. HAVE GUSTS
DIMINISHING BY 1AM FOR GYY...BUT GIVEN THE STRONG N WINDS OFF OF
THE LAKE...GUSTS MAY REMAIN STRONG ALL NIGHT.

ANOTHER ROUND OF HIGH END MVFR CIGS ARE PSBL FOR ORD...MDW...AND
GYY MONDAY MORNING. THE BEST CHANCE FOR LAKE EFFECT CIGS WOULD BE
AT MDW AND GYY DUE TO THE MORE NORTHERLY FLOW. EXPECTING CIG
HEIGHTS TO RAISE TO VFR BY THE EARLY AFTN LIKE TODAY. GUSTS WILL
DEVELOP ACROSS THE REGION...WITH THE STRONGEST GUSTS ONCE AGAIN AT
GYY. RFD AND DPA CAN EXPECT MAX GUSTS ARND 20 KT TOMORROW. ORD AND
MDW WILL SEE MAX GUSTS 20-25 KT IN THE AFTN WITH A FEW OCNL LAKE
EFFECT GUSTS TO 30 KT PSBL. FINALLY...GUSTS ARND 35 KT PSBL BY
00Z TUESDAY AT GYY...AND WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE FROM THERE.

JEE

//ORD AND MDW CONFIDENCE...UPDATED 20Z...

* MEDIUM-HIGH CONFIDENCE IN WHAT TIME GUSTS WILL DIMINISH
  TONIGHT...HIGH CONFIDENCE IN WIND TRENDS.

* HIGH CONFIDENCE IN CIG TRENDS...MEDIUM-LOW CONFIDENCE ON CIG
  HEIGHTS MONDAY MORNING.

* HIGH CONFIDENCE IN ALL OTHER FORECAST ELEMENTS.

JEE

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

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...GENERALLY VFR. LOW PROBABILITY OF
LOCALIZED SHOWERS WITH GUSTY NNW WINDS TUES-WED.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...VFR.

.MARINE...
340 PM CDT

...GALES EXPECTED FROM MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING
WITH STORM FORCE WINDS LIKELY FOR THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
LAKE EARLY TUESDAY MORNING THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON...

A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDS FROM THE TEXAS GULF COAST NORTH
TO HUDSON BAY. FARTHER TO THE EAST...HURRICANE SANDY IS SPINNING
OFF THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST. THIS PUTS LAKE MICHIGAN IN A SQUEEZE
PLAY BETWEEN STRONG HIGH PRESSURE TO THE WEST AND A STRONG
HURRICANE TO THE EAST. THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN
NEARLY STATIONARY WHILE THE HURRICANE MOVES NORTHWARD. SANDY IS
FORECAST TO TURN WESTWARD INTO SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY BY MONDAY
EVENING. A STRONG NORTHERLY GRADIENT IS IN PLACE OVER THE LAKE
WITH 30 KT WINDS ALREADY OBSERVED OVER THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF
THE LAKE. THE GRADIENT WILL STEADILY INCREASE AS THE HURRICANE
TRACK NORTHWARD AND THEN WESTWARD...WITH NORTH GALES DEVELOPING BY
MONDAY AFTERNOON. GALES WILL STEADILY INCREASE OVER ALL OF THE
LAKE THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. THE GRADIENT WILL BE STRONGEST OVER THE
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE LAKE...WITH STORM FORCE WINDS DEVELOPING
DURING THE LATE NIGHT HOURS. WHILE THE NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
SHOULD SEE A SLIGHTLY WEAKER GRADIENT...THERE IS STILL A CHANCE
FOR A FEW STORM FORCE GUSTS...BUT AT THIS POINT...THE STRONGEST
WINDS ARE EXPECTED FOR THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE LAKE. THE
EXTENDED NORTHERLY FETCH WILL DRIVE WAVES AS HIGH AS 25 FEET
CRASHING INTO THE NORTHERN INDIANA SHORELINE...WITH WAVES OVER 30
FEET POSSIBLE. WAVES OVER THE ILLINOIS SHORE WILL BE SLIGHTLY
LOWER...BUT WILL STILL BE UP TO 20 FEET...WITH OCCASIONALLY HIGHER
WAVES POSSIBLE. THE REMNANTS OF HURRICANE SANDY WILL FINALLY MOVE
OFF TO THE NORTHEAST BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT...ALLOWING WINDS TO
SUBSIDE BELOW GALE FORCE. WAVES OVER THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
LAKE SHOULD BE SLOW TO DAMPEN OUT AFTER THE EXTENDED STRONG NORTH
FETCH...SO AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CRITERIA
WAVES ARE LIKELY...EVEN AFTER THE WINDS SUBSIDE BELOW ADVISORY
CRITERIA LEVELS.
