AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
333 PM CDT THU SEP 19 2013

.DISCUSSION...
327 PM CDT

MAIN CHALLENGES/CONCERNS THIS FORECAST PERIOD ARE WITH SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING/OVERNIGHT/AND FRIDAY MORNING
ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA.

IN THE WAKE OF A MID LEVEL WAVE/STRONG WAA WING AND ASSOCIATED
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS...A MORE SUBSIDENT ENVIRONMENT CONTINUES TO
MOVE OVERHEAD. THIS HAS RESULTED IN A GOOD AMOUNT OF CLEARING
ACROSS MUCH OF NORTHERN ILLINOIS. ALTHOUGH THERE REMAINS SOME
ISOLATED DEVELOPMENT ACROSS EAST CENTRAL ILLINOIS AND PORTIONS OF
NORTHWEST INDIANA...THIS SHOULD REMAIN ISOLATED IN THIS LOCATION
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS BEFORE THIS THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
ALSO DIMINISHES...RIDING ALONG THE TAIL END OF THIS DEPARTING MID
LEVEL FEATURE. THEN...EXPECT MOST OF THE CWA TO REMAIN MOSTLY DRY
THROUGH THE 00-01Z TIME FRAME THIS EVENING...WITH BETTER LARGE
SCALE SUPPORT REMAINING WELL WEST OF THE CWA THROUGH THIS
AFTERNOON. LATEST OBSERVATIONS/RADAR IMAGERY DEPICTING LINGERING
BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTHEAST ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA. ALTHOUGH
THIS COULD SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR DEVELOPMENT...ONCE AGAIN LARGE
SCALE SUPPORT IS NOT THERE. WHAT THIS BOUNDARY IS DOING IS
CREATING DRASTIC DIFFERENCES IN TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE
AREA...WITH TEMPS HOVERING AROUND 90 DEGREES WEST OF THIS BOUNDARY
AND TEMPS STILL IN THE 70S EAST OF IT. CONTINUED PRESSURE FALLS
AND A TIGHTENING GRADIENT SHOULD HELP FOR A SYNOPTIC PUSH OF THIS
BOUNDARY TO THE NORTHEAST LATE THIS AFTERNOON. WITH THIS
OCCURRENCE...A VERY WARM AIRMASS WILL QUICKLY SPREAD EAST INTO
REMAINING AREAS IN NORTHEAST ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA.
ALTHOUGH ITS GETTING LATE IN THE DAY...I STILL FEEL THAT THIS HAS
A CHANCE OF OCCURRING LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING.

FOCUS THEN TURNS TOWARDS MORE WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
STILL EXPECTED AFTER THE 00Z TIME FRAME...AND PERSISTING THROUGH
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. AS WEAK RIDGING IS
OCCURRING OVERHEAD...SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ONGOING ACROSS MUCH OF THE
CENTRAL CONUS THIS AFTERNOON AS LARGE VORT MAX SLOWLY DIPS
EAST/SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. WITH PRESSURE FALLS
OCCURRING ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION...A SURFACE TROUGH AND
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT STRETCHES FROM MINNESOTA BACK SOUTHWEST
THROUGH IOWA AND INTO KANSAS. WITH THE CONTINUED SOUTHWARD
MOVEMENT OF THIS VORT MAX...FLOW WILL ENABLE SEVERAL WAVES MOVING
ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS TO LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS
THE REGION...WITH THIS TROUGH/FRONT SHIFTING EAST TOWARDS THE CWA.
AS THIS OCCURS...EXPECT THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT TO BE ON THE
INCREASE THIS EVENING. CURRENT OBSERVATIONS ARE INDICATING A
PREFRONTAL TROUGH OUT AHEAD OF THE MAIN FRONT...WITH LATEST RAP
ANALYSIS INDICATING MODERATE/STRONG SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY
ALONG IT. ALTHOUGH DEVELOPMENT SHOULD OCCUR ALONG THIS TROUGH OVER
THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...DONT ANTICIPATE MUCH IN TERMS LONGEVITY
OR STRENGTH OF ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP ACROSS EASTERN
IOWA/WESTERN ILLINOIS IN THE NEAR TERM. FLOW ALOFT WILL CONTINUE
TO BE ORIENTED MORE SOUTH TO THE NORTH...WITH LARGE SCALE SUPPORT
STAYING JUST WEST OF THIS FEATURE. THEN BY THE 23Z TIME FRAME
EXPECT CURRENT THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OVER SOUTHWEST IOWA TO
QUICKLY SPREAD NORTHEAST INTO EASTERN IOWA AND WEST/NORTHWEST
ILLINOIS AS LARGE SCALE SUPPORT AND TROUGH/BOUNDARY SHIFT EAST.
WITH A VERY MOIST/UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE IN PLACE AND HIGHER BULK
SHEAR VALUES SPREADING EAST...THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WILL HAVE
THE POTENTIAL TO BE STRONG/SEVERE WITH THE WESTERN HALF OF THE CWA
STILL HAVING THE BEST CHANCES TO OBSERVE THESE STRONGER STORMS.
BEST CHANCES TO OBSERVE STRONG/SEVERE STORMS WILL BE AREAS
WEST/NORTHWEST OF INTERSTATE 55. ALTHOUGH...AS WE ARE OBSERVING
CURRENTLY ACROSS IROQUOIS COUNTY...ANY STORM WILL HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE. ITS JUST THE MORE WIDESPREAD
DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED TO BE ACROSS THE WESTERN CWA. TIME
FRAME...AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF I-39 THRU 3Z...AREAS ALONG AND
WEST OF I-55 INTO 6Z...THEN SPREADING SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE
REMAINING CWA AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE EXTENT OF THE STRONGER STORMS
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS IS LOW AT THIS TIME...BUT WITH AT
LEAST THE POSSIBILITY FOR ISOLATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS TO
REMAIN. HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE AN ISSUE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT
WITH LOCALIZED HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND EVEN LOCALIZED FLOODING A
POSSIBILITY...AS A VERY MOIST AIRMASS REMAINS OVERHEAD.

TROUGH/FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT SOUTHEAST ALONG WITH PRECIP
SHIELD THROUGH FRIDAY...WITH LIKELY POPS STILL WARRANTED FOR MOST
AREAS DURING THE MORNING HOURS. THEN EXPECT DRYING TO OCCUR INTO
THE AFTERNOON AS MUCH COLDER AND DRIER AIR QUICKLY PUSHES
SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE CWA.

.AVIATION...

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

* STILL WATCHING WIND TRENDS FOR A TURN TO THE SOUTHWEST.

* CONVECTION POPPING SOUTH OF THE TERMINALS SUPPORTS THE IDEA OF
  ISOLATED ACTIVITY IN THE WARM SECTOR THIS AFTERNOON AHEAD OF THE
  MAIN FRONTAL ZONE.

LENNING

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

CONVECTION THAT MOVED THROUGH THIS MORNING HAS EXITED THE
TERMINALS TO THE EAST. SATELLITE PICS AND UPSTREAM OBS SUGGEST
CONDITIONS SHOULD BE IMPROVING RAPIDLY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE
ADDITIONAL CONVECTION DEVELOPS WITH AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT THIS
EVENING. THERE IS A CHANCE OF SEEING SOME TSRA DEVELOPMENT THIS
AFTERNOON EARLIER THAN DEPICTED IN THE 18Z TAFS...BUT FCST MODELS
MATCH LATEST RADAR TRENDS IN KEEPING THE BULK OF THE ACTIVITY
ALONG OR BEHIND THE FRONT WHICH ARRIVES WELL AFTER MIDNIGHT.
UNFORTUNATELY THINGS COULD START SLOW AGAIN TOMORROW MORNING
BEFORE PRECIP COMES TO AN END WITH POSTFRONTAL WINDS VEERING
NORTHWEST AND SKIES IMPROVING.

LENNING

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

* FEEL THAT ONLY MEDIUM CONFIDENCE IS WARRANTED FOR THIS LATEST UPDATE.

LENNING

//OUTLOOK FOR ORD/MDW FOR 00Z SATURDAY-12Z THURSDAY...UPDATED 12Z...

FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...VFR. WX NIL.

KREIN

.MARINE...
239 PM CDT

LOW PRESSURE OVER FAR WESTERN ONTARIO WILL CONTINUE TO SLIDE EAST
TONIGHT TOWARDS JAMES BAY...WITH A TRAILING FRONTAL BOUNDARY
STRETCHING SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. THIS FRONTAL
BOUNDARY IS POISED TO PUSH EAST ACROSS LAKE MICHIGAN OVERNIGHT...AND
MAY LINGER ALONG THE FAR SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF LAKE MICHIGAN UNTIL
JUST AFTER DAYBREAK FRI. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT TO
THE SOUTHWEST THEN BEHIND THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WINDS WILL TURN
NORTHWESTERLY TO NORTHERLY. AHEAD OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY OCCASIONAL
GUSTS TO 20-25KT MAY OCCUR ALONG THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE
LAKE...THEN THE GRADIENT BRIEFLY TIGHTENS WITH THE BOUNDARY AND
BEHIND THE FRONT. WINDS WILL THEN INCREASE TO 15 TO 25 KT FOR MUCH
OF THE LAKE OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS THE GRADIENT WILL REMAIN
ELEVATED. IN ADDITION TO THE PROLONGED NORTHWEST FLOW AND INCREASED
GRADIENT...MUCH COOLER AIR WILL FLOW ACROSS THE WARMER LAKE SURFACE.
THIS WILL ALLOW WAVES TO EASILY BUILD AND REMAIN ELEVATED.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL FINALLY ARRIVE ACROSS THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES FOR
THE SECOND HALF OF THE UPCOMING WEEKEND AND ALLOW THE GRADIENT TO
DIMINISH...WITH WAVES SLOWLY SUBSIDING AS WELL. THEN ANOTHER UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE WILL APPROACH THE AREA FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH WINDS
SLOWLY TURNING SOUTHERLY MON INTO TUE.
