PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY WARNING MEANS HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY IS
EXPECTED TO RAPIDLY ACCUMULATE ON VESSELS. THESE CONDITIONS CAN
BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS TO NAVIGATION. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT
MARINERS NOT TRAINED TO OPERATE IN THESE CONDITIONS OR VESSELS
NOT PROPERLY EQUIPPED TO DO SO...REMAIN IN PORT OR AVOID THE
WARNING AREA.

A GALE WARNING MEANS WINDS OF 34 TO 47 KNOTS ARE IMMINENT OR
OCCURRING. OPERATING A VESSEL IN GALE CONDITIONS REQUIRES
EXPERIENCE AND PROPERLY EQUIPPED VESSELS. IT IS HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED THAT MARINERS WITHOUT THE PROPER EXPERIENCE SEEK SAFE
HARBOR PRIOR TO THE ONSET OF GALE CONDITIONS.

A GALE WATCH IS ISSUED WHEN THE RISK OF GALE FORCE WINDS OF 34 TO
47 KNOTS HAS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED...BUT THE SPECIFIC TIMING
AND/OR LOCATION IS STILL UNCERTAIN. IT IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL LEAD TIME FOR MARINERS WHO MAY WISH TO CONSIDER
ALTERING THEIR PLANS.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
331 AM CST THU JAN 23 2014

.DISCUSSION...
330 AM CST

TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT...
ARCTIC BLAST THE SEQUEL HAS ARRIVED AND MADE ITSELF AT HOME
ACROSS NORTHERN IL/NORTHWEST IN. SKIES QUICKLY CLEARED...WHICH
INITIALLY SET THE STAGE FOR A QUICK DROP IN TEMPS. TEMPS BEGAN TO
TUMBLE TO AROUND ZERO...AND HAVE BEEN SLOW TO FALL FURTHER WITH
SUCH STRONG FRICTION AT THE SFC AND JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE. COLD
AIR DOES CONTINUE TO ADVECT SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION THIS
MORNING...AND WITH WINDS DIMINISHING SLIGHTLY...TEMPS SHUD BE ABLE
TO RADIATE TO A FEW DEGREES BELOW ZERO JUST BEFORE DAYBREAK. THE
COLDEST LOCATIONS WILL LIKELY BE ALONG AND WEST OF LASALLE TO
CRYSTAL LAKE...WHERE A FEW SPOTS COULD TAG -10. THE BY- PRODUCT OF
THE TEMPS COUPLED WITH THE WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE DANGEROUSLY
COLD WIND CHILL VALUES. IT IS STILL POSSIBLE THAT A FEW AREAS
COULD REACH -30 DEG F FOR WIND CHILLS...HOWEVER CONFIDENCE HAS
BECOME GREATLY DIMINISHED GIVEN HOW SLOW TEMPS HAVE BEEN TO
RADIATE AND MAXIMIZE THE HIGHER WINDS EARLIER THIS MORNING.
OTHERWISE SOLID WIND CHILL ADVISORY LOOKS OPTIMAL WITH VALUES
HOVERING IN THE -20 TO -28 DEG F RANGE THIS MORNING.

WILL ALLOW THE BLOWING SNOW ADVISORY TO EXPIRE EARLY THIS
MORNING...WITH VERY FEW REPORTS OF BLOWING SNOW. SKIES WILL START
MOSTLY SUNNY...WHICH WILL BE MISLEADING WITH TEMPS STRUGGLING TO
WARM BEYOND THE SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE ZERO TODAY.

STRONG ANTI-CYCLONIC FEATURE CENTERED OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS WILL
CONTINUE TO BE PROGRESSIVE AND SLIDE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE
MID-MISSOURI VALLEY AND THEN STRETCH OUT ACROSS THE GULF STATES BY
DAYBREAK FRI. WITH THIS RIDGE AXIS REMAINING SOUTHWEST TO SOUTH OF
THE REGION...WINDS WILL STEADILY BACK FROM NORTHWEST TO WEST BY LATE
THIS AFTN THEN BECOME SOUTHWESTERLY OVERNIGHT. SKIES WILL REMAIN
MOSTLY SUNNY THIS AFTN...WHICH COUPLE THAT WITH A POTENT THERMAL
TROUGH ALOFT OF -20 TO -24 DEG C...AND TEMPS AT THE ONSET OF THIS
EVENING WILL QUICKLY RADIATE BELOW ZERO. WIND CHILLS VALUES WILL
QUICKLY RETURN TO -20 DEG F AROUND SUNSET...THEN AS TEMPS FALL TO
SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW ZERO ARND MIDNIGHT...WIND CHILL VALUES WILL
HOVER IN A -25 TO NEARLY -30 DEG RANGE.

WARM AIR WILL STEADILY ADVECT NORTH AS THE THERMAL TROUGH MODERATE
CONSIDERABLY OVERNIGHT...TO -11 TO -14 DEG C AT 850MB BY DAYBREAK
FRI. THIS WILL LIKELY ALLOW TEMPS TO STABILIZE ARND MIDNIGHT BEFORE
BEGINNING TO RISE. IF TEMPS ARE SLOWER TO WARM ALOFT...THIS COULD
ALLOW SFC TEMPS TO BECOME COLDER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST. THAT
SCENARIO WOULD INDICATE A MORE LIKELIHOOD OF WIND CHILL WARNINGS
BEING NEEDED...HOWEVER CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT THIS WILL FALL INTO A
SOLID ADVISORY SETUP FOR TONIGHT. THUS HAVE HOISTED A WIND CHILL
ADVISORY FROM 00Z FRI THROUGH MID-MORNING FRI.

CONFIDENCE IN WIND CHILL VALUES...HIGH.
CONFIDENCE IN HIGH/LOW TEMPS...MEDIUM/HIGH.

FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
THE PARADE OF CLIPPERS CONTINUES FOR THE END OF THE WEEK INTO THE
WEEKEND...WITH ANOTHER WEAK WAVE SLIDING EAST ACROSS CENTRAL ONTARIO
WITH A TRAILING MOIST FRONTAL BOUNDARY PUSHING SOUTHEAST THROUGH
IOWA/WISC...ARRIVING OVER NORTHERN IL/NORTHWEST IN FRI MORNING/EARLY
AFTN. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS NOTHING MORE THAN CLOUDS WILL BE
ASSOCIATED WITH THE FIRST FRONT FRI...HOWEVER THAT CANNOT BE SAID
FOR THE NEXT WAVE SET TO ARRIVE LATE FRI NGT/EARLY SAT. TEMPS WILL
STEADILY WARM THROUGHOUT THE DAY FRI...TOPPING OUT IN THE LOW/MID
20S. ALONG AND SOUTH OF A DIXON TO KANKAKEE LINE TEMPS COULD
APPROACH 30 DEG IN A FEW AREAS. A STRONG PRES GRADIENT CONTINUES TO
BE PROGGED ACROSS THE AREA...WITH NUMEROUS GUIDANCE SETS SUGGESTING
WINDS NEARING 40-50KTS AT 850MB. AT THE ONSET THERE WILL PROBABLY BE
SOME WEAK INVERSION...LIMITING HOW MUCH OF THESE WINDS WILL REACH
THE SFC...ALTHOUGH THAT WILL DISSOLVE BY MIDDAY AND ALLOW GUSTS TO
APPROACH 40 TO 45 MPH.

WITH THE RECENT SNOWFALL HAVING SUCH A LOW LIQUID RATIO...THESE
GUSTY WINDS WILL EASILY BLOW SNOW AROUND AND COULD BECOME A PROBLEM.
HAVE INCLUDED MENTION OF BLOWING SNOW IN THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME.

GUIDANCE HAS BEEN CONSISTENT WITH THE TIMING OF THE LATE FRI/EARLY
SAT WAVE...BRINGING LGT SNOW TO THE AREA. STRONG ASCENDING PARCELS
INTO THE SYSTEM WILL PROVIDE SOME ENHANCEMENT TO THE SNOWFALL LATE
FRI NGT...AND COULD PRODUCE A PERIOD OF MODERATE/HEAVY SNOWFALL.
SNOW RATIOS WILL LIKELY FALL WITHIN A 18:1 TO 24:1...AND COULD
EASILY PRODUCE 1-3 INCHES BEFORE ENDING SAT MORNING.

SOUTHERN STATES SFC RIDGE SHOULD SPREAD A WEDGE OF INCREASING
HEIGHTS NORTH ACROSS THE WESTERN OHIO VALLEY IN THE WAKE OF THE
EARLY SAT SYSTEM...ALLOWING FOR SOME CLEARING IN THE CLOUDS. TEMPS
WILL ONCE AGAIN BE IN THE LOW/MID 20S SAT AND POSSIBLY MID/UPR 20S
SUN. HOWEVER FOR SUN A MORE POTENT CLIPPER REMAINS POISED TO
TRAVERSE THE REGION...AND POTENTIALLY BE IN-LINE TO PRODUCE SEVERAL
INCHES OF SNOWFALL FOR THE FORECAST AREA.

THE DIFFICULTIES WITH THE SUN SYSTEM HAS BEEN MODEL INCONSISTENCIES
ON PLACEMENT/TIMING...WITH THE ECMWF TAKING A FURTHER NORTH PATH AND
THE GFS REMAINING TO THE SOUTH ACROSS CENTRAL IL. CONFIDENCE HAS
REMAINED TO BE MARGINAL. ISENTROPIC LIFT APPEARS FAVORABLE ON THE
NOSE OF THE SHORTWAVE WITH A FLATTENING IN THE MID-LVL HEIGHT FIELDS
ACROSS THE NORTHERN CWFA. THIS MAY BE AN EARLY INDICATION THAT AN
FGEN BAND COULD DEVELOP...SETTING THE STAGE FOR SEVERAL INCHES OF
FRESH SNOW. THIS SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED.

CONFIDENCE...HIGH.
CONFIDENCE IN ACCUMULATING SNOW SUN...MEDIUM/HIGH.

MONDAY THROUGH END OF NEXT WEEK...
FOR THE REMAINING EXTENDED PERIODS ENSEMBLES HAVE MAINTAINED MINIMAL
SPREAD WITH RESPECT TO THE CONTINUED BROAD/STRONG HIGH-AMPLITUDE
RIDGING PARKED OVER WESTERN CANADA STRETCHING TO THE ARCTIC CIRCLE.
THIS FEATURE COUPLED WITH A DOWNSTREAM RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL
ATLANTIC WILL KEEP THE GREAT LAKES/NORTHEAST CONUS LOCKED IN A COLD
PATTERN WITH A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES SLIDING ACROSS THE REGION.

TOWARDS THE END OF NEXT WEEK...ENSEMBLES ARE INDICATING SOME
RELAXING IN THE UPSTREAM/DOWNSTREAM RIDGES. THIS COULD ALLOW FOR A
BRIEF RESPITE IN THE COLD PATTERN...HOWEVER THERE ARE A FEW
SOLUTIONS THAT SUGGEST THE PATTERN WILL RETURN.

WITH AN ARCTIC FRONT POISED TO SLIDE SOUTH ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
SUN EVENING...TEMPS FOR MON WILL BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A POTENT
850MB THERMAL TROUGH PROGGED TO BE -28 TO -32 DEG C. THIS WOULD SET
THE STAGE FOR MON SEEING TEMPS REMAINING ARND ZERO TO A FEW DEGREES
BELOW ZERO. WINDS CONDITIONS ARE ALSO PROGGED FOR MON NGT...AND WITH
OVERNIGHT LOWS INTO EARLY TUE POISED TO BE NEARING THE TEENS BELOW
ZERO...WIND CHILL VALUES WILL ONCE AGAIN BECOME DANGEROUSLY COLD.
CURRENT PROJECTIONS FOR WIND CHILLS LATE MON/EARLY TUE ARE ARND -30
TO -40 DEG F.

NOT MUCH RELIEF MOVING TOWARDS TUE WITH TEMPS ONCE AGAIN STRUGGLING
TO WARM BEYOND ZERO TO A FEW DEGREES ABOVE ZERO. TOWARDS THE MIDDLE
OF THE WEEK TEMPS SHOULD NEAR THE LOWER TEENS.

CONFIDENCE IN ARCTIC AIR RETURNING SUN NGT-TUE...HIGH.

.AVIATION...

//ORD AND MDW CONCERNS...UPDATED 09Z...

* STRONG WEST-NORTHWEST WINDS 300-330 DEG GUSTING UP TO 25 KT
  PRODUCING AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW. OCNL BRIEF MVFR VSBY POSSIBLE
  OVERNIGHT IN BLSN.

* NORTHWEST WINDS GRADUALLY DIMINISH LATE TONIGHT AND THURSDAY

KJB

//DISCUSSION...UPDATED 06Z...

ASIDE FROM SOME GUSTY WEST-NORTHWESTERLY WINDS THROUGH THE
PERIOD...WEATHER CONDITIONS SHOULD BE QUIET UNTIL FRIDAY ACROSS THE
AREA WITH PRIMARILY VFR CONDITIONS.

AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE...CURRENTLY ACROSS LOWER MICHIGAN...WILL
SHIFT EASTWARD ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES REGION DURING THE DAY.
MEANWHILE...A STOUT AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE DAKOTAS WILL
BUILD SOUTH-SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE MIDDLE AND LOWER MISSOURI
VALLEY BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. ALL IN ALL THESE TWO PRESSURE SYSTEMS
WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE GUSTY NORTHWESTERLY WINDS ACROSS THE
TERMINALS THROUGH THE DAY TODAY. SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW IS LIKELY
ACROSS SOUTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN THROUGH THE DAY. HOWEVER...IT APPEARS
THAT THIS ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN TO THE EAST OF KGYY.
THEREFORE...THERE IS NO MENTION IN THE LATEST FORECAST.

THE WINDS WILL GRADUALLY BACK MORE SOUTHWESTERLY LATER THURSDAY
NIGHT AS THE AFOREMENTIONED SURFACE HIGH SHIFTS SOUTHWARD TOWARDS THE
GULF COAST STATES. THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FROM SOME STRONG
SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS AND BLOWING SNOW ON FRIDAY AS ANOTHER THROUGH OF
LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST. THIS CURRENTLY BEYOND
THE CURRENT 30 HOUR TAF PERIOD FOR KORD...BUT WILL LIKELY BE ADDED
TO LATER FORECASTS.

.MARINE...
242 PM CST

NORTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE TONIGHT...UP TO GALE FORCE ON THE
SOUTH END OF THE LAKE...BEHIND THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT. BY
TOMORROW AFTERNOON WINDS RELAX BELOW GALE FORCE AND VERY GRADUALLY
BACK SOUTHWEST THROUGH EARLY FRIDAY BETWEEN A DEEP LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM NORTH OF THE LAKES AND A BROAD STRONG HIGH OVER THE GULF
COAST. BY FRIDAY MORNING...THE GRADIENT AGAIN INCREASES
CONSIDERABLY AND PERSISTS INTO FRIDAY EVENING...SUPPORTING HIGH
END GALES AND PROBABLY EVEN SOME STORM FORCE GUSTS DURING THE DAY
FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY ON THE NORTH END OF THE LAKE. BEHIND YET
ANOTHER FRONTAL PASSAGE FRIDAY NIGHT THE WINDS VEER AND LIKELY
BECOME NORTHWEST GALES DURING THE DAY SATURDAY.
