AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
647 PM CDT WED AUG 7 2013

.DISCUSSION...
245 PM CDT

FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EARLY EVENING...THE
MAIN CONCERN WILL BE THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE...TIMING...STRENGTH AND
DURATION.

FOR THE HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT...WITH MID LEVEL FLOW WESTERLY AT
25-35KT AND A GENERAL SEWD MOTION OF THE COLD FRONT...INDIVIDUAL
CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS SHOULD BE FAIRLY PROGRESSIVE. SO...GIVEN THE
LARGE AMOUNTS OF DEEP LAYER MOISTURE IN PLACE WITH PWATS OF 1.6 TO
1.7 INCHES...INDIVIDUAL STORMS WILL LIKELY DUMP LARGE AMOUNTS OF
RAIN IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND SOME AREAS MAY SEE RAINFALL
AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES. HOWEVER...THE GENERAL LACK OF RAINFALL
RECENTLY WILL ALLOW FOR RAPID INFILTRATION INTO DRY SOILS. THE DRY
CONDITIONS HAVE ALSO LEFT ADEQUATE CAPACITY IN AREA STREAMS AND
RIVERS TO HANDLE ANY RUN-OFF. SO...ANY FLOODING THREAT WILL LIKELY
BE CONFINED TO PONDING ON ROADWAYS.

THE COLD FRONT WILL STEADILY PROGRESS SEWD THROUGH THE
AREA...CLEARING THE SERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA BY AROUND MIDNIGHT.
AN INFLUX OF DRIER AIR BEHIND THE FRONT WILL USHER IN MUCH LOWER
TEMPERATURES. COOL...DRY ADVECTION WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE DAY
ON THURSDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE SPREADS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND
INTO NRN IL/IN. ALOFT...A DEEP...BROAD UPPER LOW WILL DROP SOUTH
INTO NORTHERN ONTARIO WHILE UPPER RIDGING BUILDS OVER THE WRN
CONUS. THE TREND FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND
INTO NEXT WEEK WILL BE FOR GRADUALLY LOWERING HEIGHTS AND
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL DROP BACK TO
BELOW SEASONAL NORMAL LEVELS AGAIN...WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE UPPER
70S TO AROUND 80F THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.

WHILE THE TEMPERATURE FORECAST FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS HAS A
REASONABLE AMOUNT OF CONFIDENCE...GIVEN THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN
SETTING UP...THE SAME CANNOT BE SAID FOR PCPN CHANCES.  A SERIES OF
WEAK SHORT WAVES WILL RIPPLE THROUGH THE NORTHERN STREAM...DROPPING
OUT OF SCNTRL CANADA AND SWING ACROSS THE UPPER GREAT LAKES.  AT THE
SAME TIME...A STRENGTHENING SUBTROPICAL JET WILL SET UP A STREAM OF
MOISTURE FROM OFF OF THE BAJA PENINSULA...POINTING INTO THE
MIDWEST.  THE DEGREE OF PHASING OF THE NRN AND SRN STREAMS WILL BE
THE MAJOR FACTOR IN THE CHANCES FOR ORGANIZED PCPN THROUGH THE
PERIOD.  AT THIS POINT...THE LARGER SCALE MODELS ARE NOT INDICATING
MUCH IN THE WAY OF PHASING OVER THE MIDWEST...WITH THE SUBTROPICAL
JET REMAINING SOUTH OF THE LOCAL AREA AND THE POLAR JET REMAINING TO
THE NORTH.  THUS...THE CHANCES FOR ORGANIZED PCPN ARE LOW.  THE BEST
CHANCES FOR THE SRN PORTIONS TO SEE ANY RAIN WILL BE LATE THURSDAY
NIGHT OR EARLY FRIDAY MORNING AS A SHORTWAVE MOVES OVER SRN IL AND
INTO THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY...BUT A POTENTIAL LIMITING FACTOR WILL BE
HOW FAR SOUTH THAT HIGH PRESSURE WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION...SO
HAVE LIMITED CHANCE POPS TO THE FAR SOUTHERN COUNTIES.  OTHERWISE...
AFTER ANY RAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...THE CHANCES FOR
WIDESPREAD PCPN ACROSS THE AREA IS LOW.

.AVIATION...

//ORD AND MDW CONCERNS...UPDATED 00Z...

* GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS THROUGH THE PERIOD.
* POSSIBLE MVFR CIGS EARLY THIS EVENING. CMS

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

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING EAST ACROSS WISCONSIN AND LOWER MICHIGAN
TONIGHT WILL TIGHTEN THE GRADIENT ACROSS NORTHERN IL THROUGH THE
NIGHT. GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS WILL LIKELY BE SLOW TO DIMINISH UNTIL
LATE EVENING AND FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST GUSTS COULD REMAIN
PREVAILING THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT AND INTO THURSDAY MORNING.
OTHER THAN INCREASING GUSTS A BIT FOR THIS EVENING...NO MAJOR
CHANGES TO PREVIOUS FORECAST. WINDS WILL REMAIN NORTHEAST THROUGH
THE PERIOD AND BEGIN TO DIMINISH LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND
ESPECIALLY THURSDAY EVENING...WHEN SPEEDS SHOULD QUICKLY DIMINISH
UNDER 10 KTS.

MVFR CIGS HAVE DEVELOPED NEAR THE LAKE AND NOT EXPECTING THESE TO
PERSIST TOO LONG INTO THE EVENING BUT ALSO NOT CONFIDENT ON HOW
FAR INLAND THEY WILL MOVE/EXTEND EITHER AND OPTED TO INCLUDE A
TEMPO FOR A FEW HOURS. OTHERWISE...VFR EXPECTED THROUGH THE
PERIOD. CMS

//ORD AND MDW CONFIDENCE...UPDATED 00Z...

* HIGH FOR WINDS THROUGH THE PERIOD.
* LOW FOR MVFR CIGS EARLY THIS EVENING. CMS

//OUTLOOK FOR ORD/MDW FOR 12Z FRIDAY-12Z WEDNESDAY...UPDATED 00Z...

* FRIDAY...DRY/VFR. POSSIBLE LAKE BREEZE LATE AFTERNOON.
* SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...DRY/VFR.
* MONDAY...CHANCE OF SHRA. MVFR POSSIBLE. POSSIBLE LAKE BREEZE/
  WIND SHIFT.
* TUESDAY...DRY/VFR.

.MARINE...
135 PM CDT

A SERIES OF WEAK LOW PRESSURES WERE ORIENTED ALONG A SLOW MOVING
FRONTAL BOUNDARY LATE THIS AFTERNOON...STRETCHING SOUTHWEST FROM
JUST NORTH OF LAKE HURON TO THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF LAKE MICHIGAN.
THIS BOUNDARY WILL CONTINUE TO DRIFT SOUTHEAST...WITH WINDS OVER THE
LAKE SHIFTING FROM WEST/SOUTHWEST TO NORTH. MEANWHILE HIGH PRESSURE
OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS/UPPER MIDWEST WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO
THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES REGION. BETWEEN THESE TWO SYSTEMS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN BRIEFLY...ALONG WITH NORTHERLY WINDS
TO AT TIMES NORTHEASTERLY WINDS...ALLOWING GUSTS TO APPROACH 25 KT
AT TIMES TONIGHT. THIS ALL SUGGESTS WAVES BUILDING ESPECIALLY THE
SOUTHERN AND SOUTHWEST PORTIONS OF LAKE MICHIGAN. IN ADDITION THIS
APPEARS TO CREATE STRONGER CURRENTS FOR THE NEARSHORE WATERS BETWEEN
CHICAGO AND GARY. AT THIS TIME HAVE OPTED TO HOLD OFF ON ANY BEACH
HAZARDS...HOWEVER THE OVERNIGHT SHIFT MAY NEED TO ISSUE A HEADLINE
IF THE WINDS TREND STRONGER OVERNIGHT THAN WHAT CURRENT GUIDANCE IS
SUGGESTING.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO THE REGION FOR
THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...WITH LIGHT WINDS EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF THE
LAKE. WITH THE HIGH PRESSURE CENTER EXPECTED TO PASS OVER THE
NORTHERN PORTION OF THE LAKE...A SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE GRADIENT MAY
OCCUR ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS AND PRODUCE SLIGHTLY HIGHER WAVES
IN THE 2 TO 4 FT RANGE. HIGH PRESSURE WILL WEAKEN WITH A SECOND
FRONTAL BOUNDARY PUSHING INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES FRI...WITH A
SLIGHT BUMP IN THE NORTHWEST WINDS. THEN A SECOND AREA OF HIGH
PRESSURE WILL PUSH BACK INTO THE REGION FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.
