AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
909 AM CDT MON MAR 11 2013

.DISCUSSION...
331 AM CDT

TODAY...
MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGES FOR TODAY REVOLVE AROUND TEMPS...FRONTAL
BOUNDARY TIMING...AND PRECIP TYPE. ELONGATED SFC LOW HAS FINALLY
PASSED TO THE NORTHEAST OF NORTHERN IL/NORTHWEST IN EARLY THIS
MORNING. SFC OBS INDICATE THE CENTER OF CIRCULATION HAS PUSHED TO
THE CENTRAL PORTION OF LAKE MICHIGAN...AND HI-RES GUIDANCE CONCURS
ON THIS PLACEMENT. FORECAST GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO LIFT THIS FEATURE
TO THE NORTHEAST...ALTHOUGH SLOW THIS AFTN ACROSS FAR NORTHERN LAKE
HURON. THIS WILL ALLOW THE TRAILING FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO STEADILY
SLIDE E/SE ACROSS THE CWFA...WITH A PROLONGED PERIOD OF WRAP-AROUND
MOISTURE FOR THIS AFTN/EVE. PATCHY DENSE FOG FROM EARLY THIS MORNING
WILL LINGER FOR THE FAR NORTHERN/NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA
UNTIL DAYBREAK...HOWEVER EXPECT VISIBILITIES TO STEADILY IMPROVE BY
LATER THIS MORNING.

SFC TEMPS EARLY THIS MORNING REMAIN VERY MILD ACROSS MUCH OF THE
CWFA...WITH MANY LOCATIONS HOVERING IN THE MID 40S. THE EXCEPTION IS
THE FAR WESTERN CWFA WHERE SOME SNOWPACK REMAINS AND TEMPS ARE IN
THE MID/UPR 30S. WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE SFC LOW...WINDS HAVE BEGUN
TO INCREASE AND TURN FROM THE SOUTH TO W/NW. DEW PTS IN MANY AREAS
HAVE REMAIN MILD IN THE UPR 30S/LOW 40S...AGAIN WITH THE EXCEPTION
TO THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. AS THE FRONTAL BNDRY
SWEEPS ACROSS THE CWFA SLIGHTLY DRIER AND MORE SEASONAL AIR WILL
ARRIVE...LOWERING DEW PTS INTO THE UPR 20S/LOW 30S BY MIDDAY. THEN
SLOWLY FALL INTO THE MID 20S ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA LATER TONIGHT.

WITH THE PROLONGED PERIOD OF MILD AIR THIS MORNING...EXPECT ANY
PRECIP THAT DOES OCCUR TO FALL IN A LIQUID FORM RATHER THAN FROZEN.
HOWEVER...AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED IN REGARDS TO THE FAR WESTERN CWFA
WHERE TEMPS ARE COOLER. THESE AREAS MAY SEE SOME FREEZING
DRIZZLE/LIGHT SNOW/RAIN MIXTURE THIS MORNING. THEN AS THE MIXED
LAYER INCREASES AND PARCELS CAN BE LIFTED INTO THE DGZ...PRECIP TYPE
SHOULD BE FOCUSED IN THE RAIN/SNOW TYPE RATHER THAN FREEZING
DRIZZLE. HI-RES GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO DEPICT A WEAK PUSH OF PRECIP
LATER THIS MORNING ACROSS THE HEART OF THE CWFA...THEN LIFTING
NORTHEAST BY THIS AFTN. HOWEVER...WITH THE WRAP-AROUND MOISTURE
LINGERING HAVE CONTINUED TO MENTION LOW POPS THROUGH THIS AFTN/EVE.

TEMPS TDY WILL BE THE WARMEST EARLY...THEN MAY STABILIZE DEPENDING
ON TIMING OF FRONTAL BNDRY PASSAGE. MAINLY FEEL TEMPS IN THE MID/UPR
30S FOR THE FAR WEST...ARND 40 CENTRAL...AND PSBLY LOW/MID 40S
EAST/SOUTHEAST.

CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM/HIGH.

TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...
500MB TROUGH AXIS PIVOTS EAST ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST INTO THE
GREAT LAKES REGION TONIGHT...AND WILL LINGER THROUGH TUE. CYCLONIC
FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO INFLUENCE THE WEATHER FOR THE WESTERN GREAT
LAKES AS WRAP AROUND MOISTURE HOLDS ONTO THE AREA FOR MUCH OF THE
TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY PERIOD. 850MB THERMAL TROUGH ARRIVES WITH
TEMPS COOLING TO SLIGHTLY SUB-SEASONAL CONDS IN THE -6 TO -10 DEG C.
STEADY COLD AIR ADVECTION ACROSS THE CWFA SHOULD MAINTAIN COOLER
TEMPS OVERNIGHT IN THE 20S OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND MID 30S TO POSSIBLY
40 DEG ACROSS THE FAR SOUTHERN CWFA TUE AFTN.

WITH THE COOLER AIR ARRIVING TONIGHT...ANY LINGERING PRECIP SHUD
SLOWLY TRANSITION OVER TO ALL LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS. IT DOES NOT APPEAR
TO PRODUCE ANY ACCUMULATIONS...HOWEVER MAYBE A DUSTING COULD OCCUR
IN A FEW AREAS. OTHERWISE EXPECT NO ACCUMS AT THIS TIME.

TUESDAY NIGHT THE TROUGH AXIS BEGINS TO PIVOT EAST...WITH HEIGHTS
BEGINNING TO INCREASE OR PROVIDE SOME WEAK DIFFLUENCE ALOFT
OVERNIGHT TUE INTO EARLY WED. THIS WILL GRADUALLY BRING AN END TO
THE PRECIP TUE NIGHT.

CONFIDENCE...HIGH.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
LONGWAVE PATTERN FOR THE EXTENDED PERIODS CONTINUES TO DEMONSTRATE A
SLOW DEPARTURE FOR THE MID-WEEK 500MB TROUGH OVER THE GREAT LAKES
REGION. THIS FEATURE IS BEING HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY THE FURTHER
DOWNSTREAM RIDGE ACROSS THE CANADIAN MARITIME...WHICH GUIDANCE
SUGGESTS WILL SLIDE NORTH TOWARDS GREENLAND. THAT WILL ALLOW THE
GREAT LAKES TROUGH TO EJECT EAST. UPSTREAM A STRONG RIDGE WILL
REMAIN THROUGH THUR FOR THE PAC-NW...THEN BEGIN TO DRIFT EAST AND
FLATTEN FOR THE END OF THE WEEK INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

THUS THE OVERALL THEME FOR THE EXTENDED PERIODS APPEARS TO POINT
TOWARDS A COOL START...TRANSITIONING INTO A SEASONAL AND ZONAL FLOW
PATTERN. ANTI-CYCLONIC FLOW SHOULD ARRIVE MID-WEEK AT THE SFC
THROUGH THUR...WITH A SLIGHT RELAXING IN THE SFC RIDGE CENTER THUR
NIGHT/FRI. THIS MAY ALLOW A WEAK WAVE TO BRING PRECIP BACK INTO THE
REGION FRI BEFORE TRANSITIONING INTO A FASTER ZONAL FLOW SAT/SUN.
THIS COULD RESULT IN SYSTEMS QUICKLY SLIDING WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE
CONUS FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND...WITH LOW CHC POPS.

OPERATIONAL GUIDANCE DOES SUGGEST THAT BEYOND THE CURRENT EXTENDED
PERIODS A POSSIBLE PATTERN SHIFT BACK TO A COOLER SETUP...HOWEVER
THIS APPEARS TO BE A STATISTICAL ANOMALY AT THIS TIME.

CONFIDENCE...HIGH.

WHILE THE LOW PRESSURE CENTER HAS SHIFTED NORTH...ITS EFFECTS ARE
STILL BEING FELT AT THE TERMINALS. VSBYS ARE FINALLY BEGINNING TO
RISE AS DEWPOINTS ARE BEGINNING TO DROP OFF A BIT. DEWPOINTS WILL
SLOWLY FALL TODAY SO EXPECT A SLOW IMPROVEMENT IN VSBY THROUGH THE
MORNING. MAY HAVE TOO SLOW OF A VSBY TREND IN THE TAFS. WINDS WILL
ALSO PICK UP OUT OF THE WEST AS THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS BEHIND THE
LOW.

SCATTERED LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS WILL PASS OVER THE TERMINALS THIS
MORNING AND EARLY AFTN AS MOISTURE WRAPS AROUND THE BACKSIDE OF
THE LOW. THE SHOWERS SHOULD HAVE LITTLE TO NO IMPACT ON THE
TERMINALS AND RFD WILL PROBABLY BE THE ONLY TERMINAL TO SEE
FLURRIES OR LIGHT SNOW LATER THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. LITTLE TO NO
ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL IS EXPECTED.

THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REALLY WEAKENS TONIGHT THEREFORE SHOWING
MORE SIGNIFICANT CIG IMPROVEMENT AFTER 00Z TOWARD TUESDAY MORNING.

LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTHERN WI/NORTHERN IL WILL SLOWLY DEEPEN AS IT
MOVES THROUGH NORTHERN MI TONIGHT AND THEN INTO NORTHERN QUEBEC
TUESDAY AFTERNOON. NORTHEAST WINDS TO 30 KT ACROSS THE FAR NORTHERN
PARTS OF THE LAKE WILL DIMINISH AS THE LOW MOVES OVER THE LAKE TODAY
AND THE GRADIENT WEAKENS.  SOUTHWEST WINDS 15 TO 25 KT WILL DEVELOP
OVER THE SOUTHERN THIRD OF THE LAKE TODAY...WHILE NORTHWEST WINDS
COVER THE NORTHERN TWO THIRDS OF THE LAKE.  AS THE LOW MOVES OVER
NORTHERN MICHIGAN TONIGHT...NORTHWEST/WEST WINDS 15 TO 25 KT WILL
SET UP ACROSS THE LAKE ALONG WITH RISING WAVES.  THE GRADIENT
TIGHTENS OVER THE LAKE BETWEEN THE DEPARTING LOW AND APPROACHING
RIDGE TUESDAY NIGHT WITH NORTHWEST WINDS TO 30 KT EXPECTED THROUGH
WEDNESDAY.  THE HIGH MOVES OVER THE LAKE EARLY THURSDAY MORNING WITH
WINDS QUICKLY DIMINISHING AND BECOMING SOUTH/SOUTHWEST.  ANOTHER LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM MAY AFFECT THE LAKE LATE THIS WEEK.

AND BECOME NORTHWEST...WAVES WILL BUILD ACROSS THE INDIANA ZONES
EAST OF GARY.  A SECOND SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED FOR THE
