WEDNESDAY THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT...

* HIGH WAVE ACTION AND DANGEROUS SWIMMING CONDITIONS EXPECTED.

* FORECAST WAVE HEIGHTS...3 TO 6 FEET.

* STRONG RIP CURRENTS AND STRUCTURAL CURRENTS EXPECTED.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

HIGH WAVE ACTION MAKES SWIMMING DIFFICULT AND CAN TIRE EVEN A
STRONG SWIMMER QUICKLY.

RIP CURRENTS ARE POWERFUL CHANNELS OF WATER FLOWING QUICKLY AWAY
FROM SHORE...WHICH OCCUR MOST OFTEN AT LOW SPOTS OR BREAKS IN
SANDBARS. STRUCTURAL CURRENTS FORM ALONG PIERS WHERE LONGSHORE
CURRENTS AND WAVE ACTION FLOW INTO THE STRUCTURE. RIP CURRENTS
AND STRUCTURAL CURRENTS CAN SWEEP YOU INTO DEEPER WATER.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
323 PM CDT TUE JUN 3 2014

.DISCUSSION...
322 PM CDT

MAIN FORECAST CONCERN IS WITH RAIN/THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL LATER
TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. COOLER WEATHER TAKES HOLD WEDNESDAY
AS WELL...WITH DRY WEATHER AND MODERATION IN TEMPERATURES BUT
CONTINUED LAKE BREEZE COOLING THEN EXPECTED THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK.

COLD FRONT WHICH PUSHED ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT HAS SETTLED SOUTH
OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS AFTERNOON...AND PER 19Z SURFACE ANALYSIS
WAS FROM ROUGHLY CENTRAL NEBRASKA SOUTHEAST ACROSS FAR SOUTHWEST
IOWA/NORTHERN MISSOURI INTO CENTRAL IL/IND. SOMEWHAT COOLER AND
SUBSTANTIALLY DRIER LOW LEVEL AIR WAS IN PLACE ACROSS THE CWA WITH
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING BUILDING INTO THE REGION FROM THE UPPER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THIS SHOULD SET UP A DRY/COOL EVENING ACROSS THE
AREA WITH A LAKE BREEZE BEGINNING TO PUSH INLAND ADDING LAKE COOLING
AS WELL. A FAIRLY STOUT MID-LEVEL SHORT WAVE WAS EMERGING FROM THE
CENTRAL ROCKY MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON HOWEVER...WITH STRONG/SEVERE
CONVECTION PERSISTING NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT ACROSS SOUTH DAKOTA
AND NEBRASKA AT THIS TIME. VERY UNSTABLE AIR MASS HAS DEVELOPED
ACROSS SOUTHERN NEBRASKA...FAR SOUTHWEST IOWA AND NORTHWEST MISSOURI
AND WILL LIKELY SUPPORT AN EXPANSION IN CURRENT THUNDERSTORM CLUSTER
THROUGH LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AS THE CENTRAL ROCKIES
SHORT WAVE COMBINES WITH PEAK DIURNAL INSTABILITY.
CONVECTION-ALLOWING MODEL GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO DEPICT SEVERE STORMS
EVOLVING INTO AN MCS ACROSS EASTERN NEBRASKA/WESTERN IOWA BY
EVENING...QUICKLY PROPAGATING EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD ALONG INSTABILITY
GRADIENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED FRONT AS A QUICK-MOVING
BOW/DERECHO COMPLEX ACROSS SOUTHERN IOWA/MISSOURI BORDER REGION INTO
PORTIONS OF CENTRAL ILLINOIS LATER TONIGHT. SPC HAS JUST UPGRADED
SOUTHERN IOWA PORTION OF THE DAY 1 SEVERE OUTLOOK TO A HIGH RISK.
FOR THE WFO LOT FORECAST AREA...FOCUS FOR POTENTIAL STRONG/SEVERE
STORMS SHOULD REMAIN ACROSS THE SOUTHERN/SOUTHWESTERN 1/2 OF THE CWA
CLOSER TO FRONTAL ZONE WHICH MAY SHIFT A BIT NORTH WITH TIME DUE TO
PRESSURE FALLS AHEAD OF DEVELOPING SURFACE LOW WHICH WILL TRACK
ALONG THE FRONT. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT WILL ALSO EXIST WITH
THESE STORMS LATER TONIGHT...AS FORECAST PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
RISE INTO THE 1.5-2.0" RANGE. TIMING OF STORMS SHOULD BE AFTER
MIDNIGHT...THOUGH HOURLY HIGH-RES RAP/HRRR MODELS HAVE TRENDED
FASTER WITH STORMS DEVELOPING ACROSS SOUTHERN IOWA SPEEDING THE
PROPAGATION OF EVOLVING COMPLEX. IN ANY CASE...SVR/HVY RAIN THREAT
APPEARS TO BE A LATE NIGHT/VERY EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING EVENT.

WITH MID-LEVEL WAVE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY...POTENTIAL FOR
SOME SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL LINGER INTO THE EARLY
AFTERNOON BUT SHOULD BE DECREASING WITH TIME FROM NORTH-SOUTH AS
SOUNDINGS INDICATE DRYING OF COLUMN ALL EXCEPT FAR SOUTHEAST CWA.
LOW LEVEL WINDS BECOME NORTHEAST-NORTH DURING THE DAY AS THE SURFACE
LOW PRESSURE WAVE PASSES TO THE SOUTH...AND WEAK HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN WEDNESDAY NIGHT. COMBINATION OF CLOUDS/NORTHEAST WINDS...
RAIN AND CONVECTIVE DEBRIS IS EXPECTED TO MAKE FOR A MUCH COOLER DAY
ESPECIALLY NEAR THE LAKE...WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE 60S EXPECTED FOR
MUCH OF THE AREA NORTH OF I-80. HIGH PRESSURE THEN REMAINS IN
CONTROL OF THE LOCAL WEATHER THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...WITH A GRADUAL
WARM-UP BACK TO AVERAGE TEMPS (MID-UPPER 70S) BY FRIDAY. FLOW OFF
THE LAKE WILL MAINTAIN LAKE COOLING WITH 60S NEAR THE SHORE BOTH
DAYS HOWEVER.

LONGER RANGE GUIDANCE IN DECENT AGREEMENT IN MOVING UPPER RIDGE OFF
TO THE EAST THIS WEEKEND...WITH AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE EVOLVING
OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND LIFTING INTO THE MIDWEST AS A MID-LEVEL
WAVE MOVES INTO THE AREA SATURDAY. THIS WILL SET UP A CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN SATURDAY-SUNDAY. ANOTHER MORE AMPLIFIED SYSTEM
LOOKS TO CROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST LATER MONDAY-TUESDAY WITH ANOTHER
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON TUESDAY.

.AVIATION...

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

* NORTHWEST WINDS TURNING TO THE EAST WITH LAKE BREEZE THIS
  AFTERNOON.

* SHRA WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR TSRA EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING.

* LOW CHANCE FOR A PERIOD OF MVFR CEILINGS EARLY WEDNESDAY
  MORNING.

RODRIGUEZ

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

QUIET CONDITIONS ONGOING ACROSS THE TERMINALS WITH HIGH PRESSURE
IN PLACE. EXPECT THESE QUIET CONDITIONS TO PERSIST THIS AFTERNOON
INTO THIS EVENING WHILE WIND SPEEDS DIMINISH THIS AFTERNOON. AS
THIS OCCURS EXPECT LAKE BREEZE TO SHIFT WINDS TO THE EAST AND THEN
REMAINING EAST SOUTHEAST THIS EVENING. DID BUMP UP TIMING OF THIS
WIND SHIFT BUT AM MONITORING THE POTENTIAL FOR A QUICKER SHIFT TO
THE EAST...POSSIBLY CLOSER TO 22Z. COMPLEX OF
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP WELL WEST OF THE TERMINALS
TODAY AND THEN TRACK EAST SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION. ALTHOUGH
THE BETTER DEVELOPED AREA OF PRECIP IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN SOUTH OF
THE TERMINALS...SHOWER DEVELOPMENT WITH SOME POTENTIAL FOR THUNDER
REMAINS. NOT OVERLY CONFIDENT WITH THUNDER DURING THIS TIME...BUT
WITH IT STILL A DEFINITE POSSIBILITY GIVEN HOW CLOSE THIS COMPLEX
WILL BE TO THE TERMINALS. HAVE MAINTAINED VFR CEILINGS ON
WEDNESDAY...BUT WITH SOME POSSIBILITY FOR MVFR CEILINGS.
ALTHOUGH...FEEL THAT LOWER CEILINGS WILL BE TIED TO COMPLEX TO
THE SOUTH...WITH MVFR ONLY BEING PATCHY NEAR THE TERMINALS. EXPECT
PRECIP TO MOVE EAST/SOUTHEAST THROUGH MID DAY...BUT WITH VFR
CEILINGS REMAINING.

RODRIGUEZ

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

* HIGH CONFIDENCE OF WIND SHIFT THIS AFTERNOON...MEDIUM HIGH
  CONFIDENCE ON EXACT TIMING.

* HIGH CONFIDENCE WITH PRECIP POTENTIAL WEDNESDAY MORNING...MEDIUM
  CONFIDENCE WITH TIMING AND LOW MEDIUM CONFIDENCE FOR TSRA.

* LOW CONFIDENCE WITH POSSIBLE MVFR CEILINGS.

RODRIGUEZ

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

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...VFR.

SATURDAY...CHC TSRA...MVFR PSBL OVERNIGHT.

SUNDAY...CHC TSRA...VFR.

MONDAY...VFR.

.MARINE...
225 PM CDT

A SERIES OF HIGHS AND LOWS WILL PRODUCE RAPIDLY VARYING CONDITIONS
ACROSS THE LAKE DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS.  WHILE THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT BETWEEN THESE SYSTEMS GENERALLY WILL BE RELATIVELY
LIGHT...THE GRADIENT DOES TIGHTEN A BIT OVER THE SOUTH HALF TOMORROW
MORNING THROUGH TOMORROW NIGHT.  DURING THIS PERIOD...A LOW CENTER
PASSES THROUGH CENTRAL ILLINOIS WHILE HIGH PRESSURE PARKS OVER THE
LAKE.  NORTHEAST ONSHORE FLOW LIKELY WILL STAY BELOW GALE CRITERIA
BUT LIKELY WILL VARY BETWEEN 20 AND 30 KT STARTING BY LATE MORNING.
HIGH PRESSURE AND VARIABLE WINDS DOMINATE AFTER TOMORROW INTO THE
WEEKEND.  BY LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY ANOTHER LOW CENTER IS
FORECAST TO MOVE OUT OF THE PLAINS AND PASS NEAR THE SOUTH END OF
THE LAKE.
