AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
302 PM CST SUN FEB 17 2013

.DISCUSSION...
254 PM CST

FORECAST CONCERNS INCLUDE SYSTEM TOMORROW WITH RELATIVELY MILD TEMPS
AND RAIN...THEN COLDER TEMPS THROUGH MID-WEEK PRIOR TO THE MUCH
DISCUSSED STORM SYSTEM WHICH IS STILL PROJECTED TO AFFECT THE
MIDWEST THURSDAY-FRIDAY. WHILE STILL 5 DAYS OUT...FAIRLY CONSISTENT
MODEL SOLUTIONS WITH THIS SYSTEM CONTINUE TO POINT TOWARD AN INITIAL
PERIOD OF ACCUMULATING SNOW FOR THE CWA THURSDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING
BEFORE DRY SLOT PRESENTS MORE OF A LIGHT SNOW/FREEZING DRIZZLE
SCENARIO THURSDAY NIGHT.

QUIET WEATHER ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON...WITH SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE DRIFTING OFF TO THE EAST. AREA OF SURFACE
PRESSURE FALLS ARE ALREADY NOTED ACROSS THE PLAINS AND UPPER MIDWEST
AHEAD OF LOW PRESSURE OVER THE DAKOTAS/SOUTHERN MANITOBA HOWEVER...
WHICH WILL SPREAD EAST...TIGHTEN OUR GRADIENT AND INCREASE OUR
SOUTHERLY WINDS TONIGHT INTO MONDAY. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN STEADY OR
SLOWLY RISING TEMPS TONIGHT ACROSS THE WESTERN CWA WHERE WINDS WILL
PICK UP EARLIER...WITH EVENING LOWS AND RISING OVERNIGHT TEMPS
FARTHER EAST CLOSER TO THE DEPARTING SFC RIDGE. FAIRLY DRY LOW LEVEL
AIR ACROSS THE PLAINS SHOULD HELP TO LIMIT CLOUD COVER TONIGHT SAVE
FOR SOME GRADUALLY INCREASING CIRRUS ACROSS THE NORTH/WEST. ON
MONDAY...THE SURFACE LOW TRACKS SOUTHEAST ACROSS WI DURING THE
AFTERNOON...WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE EVENTUALLY SURGING NORTH AHEAD
OF THE TRAILING COLD FRONT LATE MORNING/AFTERNOON INCREASING CLOUDS
AND PRODUCING THE DEVELOPMENT OF LIGHT RAIN. LOW LEVEL THERMAL PROGS
SUPPORT TEMPS SURGING INTO THE MID 40S TO LOWER 50S AHEAD OF THE
FRONT. MODELS INDICATE THE FRONT SHOULD BE APPROACHING THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER BY 00Z...AND WILL PUSH QUICKLY EAST ACROSS THE WFO
LOT FORECAST AREA MONDAY EVENING. PARTIAL THICKNESS VALUES DECREASE
RAPIDLY BEHIND THE FRONT...SUPPORTING CHANGEOVER FROM LIGHT RAIN TO
LIGHT SNOW THOUGH WITH LITTLE/NO ACCUMULATION AS IT APPEARS PRECIP
ENDS SHORTLY AFTER IT GETS COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW. BRIEF DRY SLOTTING
BEHIND THE FRONT IS THEN FOLLOWED BY TAIL OF WEAK DEFORMATION/COMMA
HEAD SNOW/SNOW SHOWERS WHICH WILL AFFECT MAINLY FAR NORTHERN IL
OVERNIGHT. SOME MINOR ACCUMULATION POSSIBLE...PERHAPS A FEW TENTHS
TO A HALF INCH MAINLY ACROSS FAR NORTH CENTRAL IL AND NEAR THE WI/IL
BORDER. COLD AIR THEN SPILLS INTO THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY
WITH BLUSTERY WEST-NORTHWEST WINDS MAKING FOR RATHER RAW CONDITIONS
THROUGH THE DAY. GUIDANCE LOW LEVEL TEMPS SUPPORT LOWS DROPPING OFF
TO THE TEENS/LOWER 20S BY TUESDAY MORNING AND PERHAPS ONLY
RECOVERING A FEW DEGREES TUESDAY IN CONTINUED COLD ADVECTION.
COUPLED WITH GUSTY WINDS NEAR 20 MPH WITH GUSTS ABOVE 30 MPH...WIND
CHILLS LOOK TO REMAIN WITHIN A FEW DEGREES EITHER SIDE OF ZERO.
CYCLONIC LOW LEVEL FLOW BENEATH UPPER TROUGH AXIS MAY SUPPORT SOME
CLOUDS AND FLURRIES AT TIMES...THOUGH DRY ARCTIC AIR WILL PROBABLY
LIMIT COVERAGE ESPECIALLY BY AFTERNOON. LOW LEVEL WIND TRAJECTORIES
SUGGEST LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOULD MAINLY BE EAST OF PORTER COUNTY.

COLD HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE EVENTUALLY BUILDS SLOWLY EAST ACROSS THE
AREA LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY BRING
RELIEF FROM THE BLUSTERY WINDS AND CLEAR OUT THE CLOUDS. HOWEVER...
IT WILL REMAIN COLD...WITH LOW LEVEL MODEL TEMPS SUPPORTING LOWS IN
THE SINGLE DIGITS OR EVEN NEAR ZERO BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. SOME
RECOVERY BACK INTO THE 20S IS ANTICIPATED WEDNESDAY WITH A GOOD DEAL
OF LATE FEBRUARY SUNSHINE.

ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO UPPER LOW WHICH MODELS HAVE BEEN PROGGING
ACROSS THE MIDWEST LATER IN THE WEEK. TRENDS IN THE VARIOUS GLOBAL
GUIDANCE OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS HAVE BEEN TO SHIFT THE TRACK OF THIS
FEATURE WEST OF THE WFO CHICAGO FORECAST AREA. CURRENT 12Z
DETERMINISTIC RUNS OF THE ECMWF/GFS/NOGAPS CONTINUE TO PRODUCE THIS
SOLUTION WITH VERY GOOD CONSISTENCY TO THEIR 00/06Z RUNS. HOWEVER...
IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THERE REMAINS CONSIDERABLE SPREAD IN THE
GEFS ENSEMBLE MEMBER SOLUTIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE EVOLUTION OF
THE SURFACE AND UPPER LEVEL LOWS...PARTICULARLY IN THE 108-120
HOUR RANGE AS IT MOVES INTO THE MIDWEST. OVERALL...THE TRENDS
WHICH STAND OUT INCLUDE THE SYSTEM OCCLUDING OVER MO/IA/IL
THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY WITH THE WEAKENING UPPER LOW SLOWLY DRIFTING
NORTHEAST ACROSS MN/WI FRIDAY. AN ELONGATED SURFACE
TROUGH/OCCLUSION EXTENDING SOUTHEAST INTO THE OHIO VALLEY LIFTS
ACROSS THE LOT CWA THURSDAY NIGHT...WITH A PRONOUNCED MID-LEVEL
DRY SLOT OVERRUNNING THE MOIST LOW LEVEL FRONTAL ZONE LATE
THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS SUGGESTS A PERIOD OF SNOW DEVELOPING
FROM THE SOUTHWEST THURSDAY/THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS THE WAVE AND
OCCLUSION APPROACH...WITH THE DRY SLOT THEN SPREADING ACROSS THE
AREA THURSDAY NIGHT. FORECAST SOUNDINGS FROM BOTH GFS/ECMWF MODELS
DEPICT LOSS OF SATURATION IN MID-LEVELS AND LOSS OF ICE-PRODUCTION
WHICH WOULD SUGGEST A DECREASE IN PRECIP INTENSITY AND PERHAPS
MORE OF A FREEZING DRIZZLE/DRIZZLE OCCASIONALLY MIXED WITH LIGHT
SNOW THREAT THURSDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY FRIDAY. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS
STILL QUITE A WAY OUT IN TIME...AND CHANGES/ADJUSTMENTS REMAIN
LIKELY TO MODEL FORECASTS AS THE SYSTEM IN QUESTION IS ONLY OVER
THE GULF OF ALASKA AT THIS TIME. THE STRENGTH OF THE SOUTHERN
UPPER JET AND THE PRESENCE OF A SEPARATE/FARTHER SOUTH LOW REMAIN
POSSIBILITIES. ALSO...THE PERIOD OF SNOW THURSDAY AFTERNOON PRIOR
TO THE DRY SLOT DEPICTED IN THE OPERATIONAL MODEL RUNS COULD
PRODUCE SEVERAL INCHES OF ACCUMULATION BEFORE DIMINISHING/CHANGING
TO MIXED PRECIP OR DRIZZLE. STAY TUNED FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS WITH
THIS STORM OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

GUIDANCE THEN WEAKENS THE UPPER LOW NORTH OF US INTO NEXT WEEKEND
WITH WEAK HIGH PRESSURE PROVIDING QUIET WEATHER SAT/SUN.

HIGH PRESSURE STRETCHES FROM JAMES BAY...THROUGH THE WESTERN
GREAT LAKES...SOUTH INTO THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THIS RIDGE
WILL PASS EAST ACROSS LAKE MICHIGAN DURING THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS...ALLOWING WINDS TO SHIFT FROM NORTHWESTERLY TO MORE
SOUTHERLY. AS WINDS SHIFT TO A MORE OFFSHORE ORIENTATION...WAVES
OVER THE SOUTHERN TIP OF THE LAKE WILL SUBSIDE...BRINGING AND END
TO THE GOING SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY. THE HIGH WILL THEN PROCEED TO
THE EASTERN SEABOARD BY MONDAY AFTERNOON WHILE STRENGTHENING TO
30.5 INCHES. MEANWHILE...LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN
WILL DROP SOUTHEAST TO NORTHERN MINNESOTA BY MONDAY MORNING. THIS
WILL LEAD TO A STRENGTHENING SOUTHERLY GRADIENT OVER THE LAKE WITH
WINDS INCREASING TO 30KT LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING. A
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL GO INTO EFFECT LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AS
WINDS INCREASE TO 30 KT AND THERE IS A CHANCE FOR OCCASIONAL
SOUTHERLY GALE FORCE GUSTS OVER THE SOUTHERN TWO THIRDS OF THE OPEN
WATERS THROUGH MONDAY. AS THE LOW CONTINUES EAST...DRAGGING A
STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS THE LAKE MONDAY EVENING AS THE LOW
DEEPENS TO 29.2 INCHES. THERE WILL BE A BRIEF LULL IN THE WINDS AS
THE FRONTAL TROUGH CROSSES THE LAKE...BUT WINDS WILL QUICKLY RISE
TO WEST GALES AS THE STRONG PUSH OF COLD AIR SPREADS ACROSS THE
LAKE. WEST TO NORTHWEST GALES SHOULD PERSIST UNTIL EARLY WEDNESDAY
MORNING WHEN THE LOW LIFTS NORTHEAST ACROSS SOUTHERN QUEBEC AND
