AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
1246 PM CDT FRI OCT 25 2013

.DISCUSSION...
354 AM CDT

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS IN THE NEAR TERM ARE MAINLY SOMEWHAT WARMER
THOUGH STILL COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPS...AND BREEZY WINDS TONIGHT AND
SATURDAY. LONGER TERM...TIMING OF PRECIP CHANCES IN ADDITION TO
TEMPS ARE COMPLICATED BY LARGE MODEL SOLUTION SPREADS BY EARLY/MID
NEXT WEEK AS COMPLEX UPPER PATTERN EVOLVES.

THE LARGE UPPER TROUGH OVER EASTERN NORTH AMERICA CONTINUES TO MOVE
EAST EARLY THIS MORNING...ALLOWING MODEST HEIGHT RISES TEMPORARILY
TODAY IN WAKE OF THE TROUGH AXIS AND AHEAD OF ANOTHER STRONGLY
DIGGING SHORT WAVE OVER CENTRAL CANADA. SURFACE REFLECTION OF
SUBSIDENCE IN THE FORM OF HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE CURRENTLY OVER THE
UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH MID-DAY
BEFORE LOW LEVEL WINDS BACK SOUTHWEST AS GRADIENT BEGINS TO TIGHTEN
IN ADVANCE OF DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE WITH CANADIAN SHORT WAVE. THIS
LOW WILL PASS ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR TONIGHT...WITH BLUSTERY SOUTHWEST
WINDS CONTINUING INTO EARLY SATURDAY BEFORE TRAILING COLD FRONT
TRAILS ACROSS THE AREA SATURDAY MORNING. SPRAWLING HIGH PRESSURE TO
OUR SOUTH WILL EFFECTIVELY BLOCK ANY SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE RETURN...
ALLOWING A DRY COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE HERE WITH MAIN PRECIPITATION
POTENTIAL LIMITED TO THE NORTHERN LAKES AND INTO LOWER MICHIGAN LATE
TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS QUICKLY
SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE LOWER MISSOURI AND OHIO RIVER VALLEYS SATURDAY
NIGHT AND SUNDAY. TEMPERATURES MODERATE SLIGHTLY ALOFT TODAY/TONIGHT
WITH WARM ADVECTION FLOW...THOUGH BETWEEN STRONGEST ADVECTION
TONIGHT AND EARLY COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE SATURDAY MORNING THE WARM-UP
IS LIMITED TO UPPER 40S/LOW 50S TODAY...WITH SIMILAR TEMPS ACROSS
THE NORTH SATURDAY BEHIND THE FRONT WHILE SOUTHERN CWA COUNTIES LOOK
TO REACH THE MID 50S. INCREASING WINDS TONIGHT SHOULD YIELD A QUICK
DROP INTO THE MID/UPPER 30S AFTER SUNSET...THEN HOLDING FAIRLY
STEADY OVERNIGHT WITH BLUSTERY SOUTHWEST WINDS. WITH SURFACE RIDGE
BUILDING IN SATURDAY NIGHT...COLDER TEMPS IN THE UPPER 20S EXPECTED
AWAY FROM THE CITY AND LAKE MICHIGAN. COOL START KEEPS SUNDAY BELOW
NORMAL...GENERALLY LOWER 50S.

NEXT DIGGING SHORT WAVE OVER CENTRAL CANADA DIGS ACROSS HUDSON AND
JAMES BAYS SUNDAY...WITH ITS ASSOCIATED SFC LOW ACROSS THE NORTHERN
LAKES AND ITS COLD FRONT TRAILING ACROSS OUR AREA LATE SUNDAY
NIGHT/EARLY MONDAY MORNING. GUIDANCE BEGINS TO DIVERGE WITH DETAILS
OF THE PATTERN BY MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY...WITH A LARGE UPPER LOW
DEVELOPING SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE WESTERN CONUS AND THE LOCAL AREA
JUST DOWNWIND OF CONFLUENCE OF SPLIT FLOW ALOFT. THERE IS AGREEMENT
IN A DRY COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE EARLY MONDAY...WITH THE FRONT SAGGING
SOUTH OF THE CWA. MAIN DIFFERENCES WHICH EMERGE ARE WITH HOW QUICKLY
WESTERN UPPER LOW ADVANCES EAST THROUGH MID-WEEK...AND WITH SHORT
WAVE ENERGY WHICH MAY RIDE ALONG THE ELEVATED BAROCLINIC ZONE MONDAY
NIGHT/TUESDAY. OVERALL PREFER THE SLOWER ECMWF WHICH MAINTAINS
STRONGER SURFACE HIGH ACROSS THE NORTHERN LAKES AND KEEPS US DRY
INTO TUESDAY...THOUGH OTHER GLOBAL MODELS ALL SPREAD SOME PRECIP
INTO THE CWA BY TUES AM. EITHER WAY...SURFACE LOW PRESSURE EVOLVES
WITH THE WESTERN UPPER TROUGH WHICH APPEARS WILL TRACK ACROSS THE
MIDWEST TOWARD MID-WEEK. THERMAL PROFILES AT THIS DISTANCE ARE WARM
ENOUGH FOR PRECIP TO BE ALL-RAIN WITH TEMPS IN THE 50S BY DAY AND
40S BY NIGHT USING A BLEND OF GUIDANCE SOLUTIONS. IF SLOWER ECMWF
DOES VERIFY...COULD BE 60+ DEGREES FOR HALLOWEEN.

.AVIATION...

//ORD AND MDW CONCERNS...UPDATED 18Z...

* INCREASING SOUTHWEST WINDS AND GUSTS TODAY AND TONIGHT.

* LLWS TONIGHT.

LENNING

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

A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CLIPPING THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES
TONIGHT WILL PRESS AGAINST HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE TENNESSEE
VALLEY...INCREASING WINDS CONSIDERABLY OVER THE LOCAL TERMINALS
AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT.  SUSTAINED SPEEDS AND GUSTS
TONIGHT MAY BE SOMEWHAT TEMPERED BY A SHALLOW STABLE LAYER OVER A
COOLING SURFACE...BUT THAT WILL INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF
CONSIDERABLE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR UNTIL SURFACE MIXING RAMPS UP
AGAIN TOMORROW MORNING. COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE IN THE MORNING WILL
TURN WINDS NORTHWEST AND RELAX THE GUSTS SOMEWHAT.  APART FROM THE
WIND ISSUES...FROPA SHOULD BE DRY AND TERMINALS ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN VFR.

LENNING

//ORD AND MDW CONFIDENCE...UPDATED 18Z...

.MARINE...
410 AM CDT

RATHER ACTIVE WEATHER ACROSS THE ENTIRE LAKE WHICH INCLUDES GALES
OVER THE OPEN AND NEARHSHORE WATERS...WITH A BRIEF PERIOD OF STORM
FORCE WINDS/GUSTS POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.

AS A WEAK TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE EXITS THE REGION...HIGH PRESSURE
OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY CONTINUES TO
SHIFT EAST. ALTHOUGH AS THIS OCCURS...LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTHERN
CANADA WILL DROP SOUTHEAST ACROSS ONTARIO TODAY AND TONIGHT. THIS
WILL HELP THE CURRENT NORTHWEST WINDS TURN TO THE WEST AND
EVENTUALLY SOUTHWEST TODAY/EVENING. A VERY STRONG WIND FIELD WILL
THEN SETUP ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION WITH SOUTHWEST GALES TO 45 KT
LIKELY ACROSS THE ENTIRE LAKE...AND SOUTHWEST GALES TO 35 KT
LIKELY OVER THE NEARSHORE WATERS TONIGHT. IT DOES APPEAR THAT THE
STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE FELT ACROSS THE ENTIRE LAKE TONIGHT...WITH
A BRIEF PERIOD OF STORM FORCE WINDS/GUSTS TO 50 KT POSSIBLE DURING
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. CONFIDENCE WAS LOW WITH REGARDS TO DURATION
OF THESE HIGHER WINDS/GUSTS...WITH A TIME FRAME OF 3-4HRS EXPECTED
AT THIS TIME. THIS WILL DEFINITELY NEED TO BE MONITORED AS
DURATION OF THESE STRONGER WINDS COULD BE LONGER...WITH AN UPGRADE
TO THE CURRENT GALE WARNING POSSIBLE. WINDS WILL THEN TURN MORE
WESTERLY TOWARDS EARLY SATURDAY MORNING...BUT WITH GALES STILL
LIKELY. AS THIS LOW DEPARTS TO THE NORTHEAST ON SATURDAY...WINDS
WILL BE DIMINISHING WITH GALES ENDING OVER THE SOUTH HALF ON
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND GALES PERSISTING INTO SATURDAY EVENING FOR
THE NORTH HALF. EXPECT WINDS TO FURTHER DIMINISH SATURDAY NIGHT
INTO SUNDAY WITH NEW HIGH PRESSURE MOVING ACROSS THE REGION.
