AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
320 PM CST THU JAN 23 2014
.DISCUSSION...
319 PM CST
HARSH WINTER WEATHER TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WITH NO
SIGNIFICANT RELIEF IN SIGHT.
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND THROUGH THE EARLY
EVENING...WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF A LAKE EFFECT
PLUME THAT FORMED OVER SOUTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN LAST NIGHT. THE
LATEST TREND FOR THE ASSOCIATED SNOWFALL HAS BEEN POINTING AT LA
PORTE COUNTY AND PERHAPS A LITTLE EXTENDING AS FAR WEST AS THE
NORTHEASTERN CORNER OF PORTER COUNTY. OTHERWISE...CLEAR...COLD
CONDITIONS COVER THE CWA...WITH TEMPERATURES STRUGGLING TO HIT 10F
OVER THE CHICAGO METRO AREA...WITH THE REMAINDER OF THE CWA
REMAINING IN SINGLE DIGITS. FOR OVERNIGHT TONIGHT...TEMPERATURES
WILL BEGIN TO DROP OFF TOWARD SUNSET AND WITH BRISK NWLY WINDS
PERSISTING THROUGH THE EVENING...WIND CHILLS SHOULD DROP TO THE -20F
BY EARLY EVENING AND CONTINUE TO DROP TO THE -25 TO -30 DEGREE RANGE
THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. THERE IS EVEN A CHANCE FOR WIND
CHILLS TO DROP TO THE -35F RANGE OVER THE NORTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF
THE CWA. AS WINDS BACK TO MORE SWLY OVERNIGHT...TEMPERATURES SHOULD
ACTUALLY BEGIN TO INCH UP THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS...BUT WIND
SPEEDS OF 10-15KT SHOULD KEEP WIND CHILL AT OR BELOW -20F THROUGH
LATE MORNING.
BY LATE FRIDAY MORNING...CONCERNS WILL SHIFT TO THE NEXT CHANCE FOR
SNOW AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL FOR BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW. THE
NEXT IN THE SEEMINGLY ENDLESS SERIES OF ARCTIC COLD FRONTS WILL DROP
THROUGH THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. ISENTROPIC LIFT IN THE
RELATIVELY COLD AIRMASS AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL BRING A CHANCE FOR
SOME LIGHT SNOW...WITH INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR SNOW THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. SINCE WIND CHILLS SHOULD LINGER IN THE SINGLE DIGITS
THROUGH THE DAY IN SPITE OF AIR TEMPERATURES RISING INTO THE MIDDLE
20S...SWLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE THROUGH THE DAY WITH
SUSTAINED WINDS OF 20-25KT AND GUSTS OF 30-40KT...BLOWING AND
DRIFTING SNOW WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT CONCERN AS WELL. SO...WHILE
ACTUAL SNOWFALL AMOUNTS SHOULD ONLY BE ON THE ORDER OF A COUPLE
TENTHS OF AN INCH THROUGH THE DAYTIME HOURS...THE COMBINATION OF LOW
WIND CHILLS...STRONG WINDS...AND THE POTENTIAL BLOWING AND DRIFTING
SNOW...HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY BEGINNING
AT 14Z FRIDAY. THE MORE SIGNIFICANT SNOW POTENTIAL WILL MOVE IN
THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS AS THE MAIN FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THE
SYSTEM WILL CROSS THE CWA. EXPECT THE HEAVIER STEADY SNOW TO MOVE
INTO THE ROCKFORD AREA BY SUNSET AND THEN CONTINUE TO SPREAD SOUTH
AND EAST THROUGH THE EVENING. WINDS WILL SHIFT NWLY BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT AND REMAIN GUSTY TO 25-30KT THROUGH THE NIGHT...BUT SINCE THE
VERY COLD AIR WILL BE SLOWER TO FILTER OVER THE AREA...LOW TEMPS
SATURDAY MORNING WILL STILL BE ON THE RELATIVELY MILD SIDE...IN THE
UPPER TEENS TO LOWER 20S...WITH WIND CHILLS WILL RANGE FROM THE
SINGLE DIGITS BELOW ZERO TO THE SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE ZERO. AS FOR
SNOWFALL AMOUNTS...CURRENTLY EXPECTING WIDESPREAD AMOUNTS OF 1-3
INCHES WITH THE HEAVIEST AMOUNTS CLOSER TO THE WISCONSIN BORDER.
THROUGH THE DAY ON SATURDAY...THE REGION WILL REMAIN UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OF A BROAD UPPER TROUGH COVERING ALL OF THE CONUS EXCEPT
FOR THE WEST COAST. WEAK SHORT WAVE RIDGING OVER THE UPPER
MIDWEST...ON THE SWRN PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER TROUGH SHOULD HELP KEEP
TEMPERATURES FAIRLY STEADY THROUGH THE DAY WITH LITTLE DIURNAL
VARIATION.
A STRONGER SHORT WAVE WILL BEGIN TO DROP OUT OF CANADA SUNDAY
MORNING...BRINGING THE NEXT BATCH OF VERY COLD ARCTIC AIR. WITH THE
PASSAGE OF THIS SHORTWAVE...BY MONDAY MORNING...TEMPERATURES ACROSS
THE CWA WILL DROP BELOW 0F AGAIN...AND WITH BRISK NWLY WINDS
PERSISTING THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT AND INTO MONDAY...WIND CHILLS LATE
SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING WILL BE BACK IN THE -20F TO -30F
RANGE. HIGHS ON MONDAY SHOULD REMAIN AT OR BELOW ZERO OVER THE CWA.
TUESDAY MORNING WILL BE THE COLDEST OF THE PERIOD WITH TEMPERATURES
DROPPING TO -15 TO -20F AND WIND CHILLS IN THE -30 TO -40 DEGREE
RANGE. REINFORCING SHOTS OF COLD AIR WILL CARVE OUT A SHARPER UPPER
TROUGH FROM THE GREAT LAKES THROUGH THE RED RIVER VALLEY AND HIGHS
ON TUESDAY SHOULD REMAIN IN THE SINGLE DIGITS BELOW ZERO AGAIN.
TOWARDS THE END OF THE FORECAST PERIOD...WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH
THURSDAY AFTERNOON...WILL BRING ONLY SLIGHT MODERATION AS WEAK SHORT
WAVE UPPER RIDGING DEVELOPS IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT STRONG CLIPPER.
THE WORD MODERATION IS USED VERY LOOSELY AS TEMPERATURES WILL STILL
REMAIN WELL BELOW NORMAL. THE LONGER RANGE GUIDANCE IS SUGGESTING
THAT THE NEXT IN THE SERIES OF CLIPPERS COULD DROP OUT OF CANADA AS
EARLY AS NEXT THURSDAY. WHILE THIS IS BEYOND THE CURRENT FORECAST
PERIOD...THE LACK OF CHANGE IN THE OVERALL LONGWAVE PATTERN SUGGESTS
AT LEAST MODERATE CONFIDENCE THAT THE AREA COULD SEE ANOTHER
SIGNIFICANT SHOT OF VERY COLD AIR IN TIME FOR NEXT WEEKEND.

235 PM CST
A VERY ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN FOR LAKE MICHIGAN CONTINUES INTO
NEXT WEEK WITH NUMEROUS CONCERNS. A RAPIDLY MOVING LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM ACROSS NORTHERN MANITOBA WILL MOVE EAST INTO HUDSON BAY BY
MIDDAY FRIDAY AND DEEPEN AS IT DOES. THIS WILL HAVE A POTENT WARM
FRONT TRAILING TO ITS SOUTH...AND ALONG AND NEAR THIS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN TREMENDOUSLY. THIS WILL QUICKLY EVOLVE OVER
LAKE MICHIGAN LATE TONIGHT AND ESPECIALLY ON FRIDAY...A SETUP
FAVORABLE FOR HIGH SUSTAINED WINDS. THE SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS
WITH THIS WILL BE WARMING BUT STILL ADVECTING FAR COOLER AIR THAN
THE WATER TEMPERATURES...CREATING A LARGE AMOUNT OF INSTABILITY.
THIS WILL AID IN HIGHER END GUSTS TO STORM FORCE REACHING THE
SURFACE ON FRIDAY. THIS LOOKS ESPECIALLY FAVORED CENTRAL AND
SOUTH...ALTHOUGH THE NORTH TOO COULD GET INTO THESE GUSTS AT
TIMES. FOR NEARSHORE AREAS OF IL AND IN THE WIND COMPONENT WILL BE
OFFSHORE...SO WHILE NOT TO THE LEVEL OF STORM FORCE...GALES WILL
OCCUR IN THESE SHORELINE LOCATIONS.
PRIOR TO THE THE SYSTEM COLD FRONT PUSHING ACROSS THE LAKE EARLY
SATURDAY...WINDS WILL REMAIN NEAR OR AT GALE FORCE FRIDAY
NIGHT...AND THEN VERY LIKELY INCREASE BACK UP TO GALE FORCE FROM
THE NORTHWEST ON SATURDAY. SPEEDS WILL DIMINISH SOME ON SUNDAY BUT
ANOTHER STRONG ARCTIC FRONT WILL DROP SOUTH THROUGH THE LAKE
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY WHICH COULD BRING GALE FORCE WINDS AGAIN.
WAVES WILL BUILD TO NEAR 20 FT BY LATE ON THE DAY FRIDAY ACROSS
THE EASTERN PART OF THE LAKE...ESPECIALLY THE SOUTHEAST HALF...AS
STORM FORCE WINDS PILE UP THE WATER QUICKLY.
IN ADDITION...WITH EACH OF THESE ROBUST WIND PERIODS...MODERATE
TO HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY WILL BE LIKELY.
