AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
311 PM CDT SAT SEP 20 2014

.DISCUSSION...

1155 AM...LATE MORNING UPDATE...MONITORING CONVECTIVE TRENDS FOR
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AND LOCATION THIS AFTERNOON. LOCAL AMDAR
SOUNDINGS SHOWING FAIRLY STRONG CAPPING ACROSS THE REGION
CURRENTLY. FORECAST SOUNDINGS DO SHOW THIS CAP ERODING BY MID/LATE
AFTERNOON WITH CONTINUED SURFACE HEATING AS CIRRUS/DEBRIS CLOUDS
CONTINUE TO THIN. A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE
SOUTHERN PART OF THE LAKE AS WELL AS NEAR THE QUAD CITIES.
CONFIDENCE REMAINS SOMEWHAT LOW REGARDING WHEN/WHERE THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON...BUT TRENDS SEEM TO FOCUS ALONG/SOUTH OF
THE I-80 CORRIDOR FROM EARLY/MID AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. THIS
WOULD ALSO BE THE AREAS FOR THE BEST CHANCES FOR SEVERE WEATHER.
CMS

//PREV DISCUSSION...
243 AM CDT

TODAY...
MAIN FOCUS IN THE NEAR TERM WILL REVOLVE AROUND TIMING OF
PRECIP/THUNDERSTORMS...WHICH GUIDANCE IS STILL LEANING TOWARDS A
MIDDAY/AFTN TIMEFRAME. THE WILDCARD IS THE EARLY MORNING CONVECTION
OVER CENTRAL IOWA THAT STRETCHES NORTHEAST INTO FAR SOUTHWEST
WISCONSIN. DRY AIR CONTINUES TO LINGER ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA...ALTHOUGH THIS WILL QUICKLY CHANGE AS THE MORNING PROGRESSES.
ABUNDANT MOISTURE EXISTS JUST WEST OF THE CWFA WITH PWAT'S HOVERING
BETWEEN 1.5-1.8" IN MUCH OF IOWA/NORTHWEST MO. THIS MOISTURE RICH
ENVIRONMENT IS PROGGED TO SLIDE EAST BY LATE MORNING...BRINGING DEW
PTS INTO THE MID/UPR 60S AND PERHAPS A FEW SITES HITTING 70 DEG DEW
PTS THIS AFTN...MAINLY SOUTH OF I-80. MID-LVL LAPSE RATES REMAIN
RATHER STEEP EARLY THIS MORNING...SO IF THE CONVECTION ACROSS IOWA
CAN HOLD TOGETHER IT IS POSSIBLE THE ELEVATED CORES COULD STRENGTHEN
FURTHER AND BRING A LOW RISK OF SEVERE STORMS TO THE AREA BY LATE
MORNING. HI-RES GUIDANCE IS POINTING TOWARDS THE EARLY MORNING LINE
DISSIPATING.

BY LATE MORNING A MID-LVL VORT...THAT CONTINUES TO DIVE SOUTHEAST
ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS...SHOULD CATCH-UP WITH THE TROUGH AND
HELP TO REDEVELOP AND STRENGTHEN THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHORTLY AFT
18Z. THE PLACEMENT WILL CONTINUE TO BE A CHALLENGE...AS SOME
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT IT COULD SLIP JUST PAST CHICAGO BEFORE
DEVELOPING. NONETHELESS HAVE HELD ONTO THE LIKELY POPS FROM PONTIAC
TO CHICAGO EARLY AFTN...THEN EXPECT THIS CHANNEL OF LIKELY POPS TO
SLOWLY SLIDE EAST. MID-LVL VORT MAX WILL BE PIVOTING EAST ACROSS THE
CWFA BY 20Z...WHICH SHUD THEN BRING A SLOW END TO THE STRONGER
STORMS FROM WEST TO EAST SHORTLY AFTER THIS. THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY
APPEARS TO BE LINGERING FURTHER WEST...BUT SHORTLY AFT 00Z THIS
BOUNDARY SHUD ARRIVE ACROSS THE NORTHWEST FORECAST AREA.

TEMPS TODAY WILL BE A CHALLENGE. AT FIRST GLANCE IT APPEARS THE
HIGHS FORECAST IN THE LOW 80S LOOK TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE. HOWEVER WITH
THE CLOUD DEBRIS FROM THE EARLY MORNING COMPLEX ARRIVING THIS
MORNING...IT IS PLAUSIBLE THAT ENOUGH CLOUD COVER LINGERS AND HOLDS
TEMPS DOWN IN THE 70S. THE DEEP LAYERED SHEAR IS PROGGED TO STEADILY
INCREASE BY THIS AFTN AS WELL...WHICH COULD SUGGEST SOME OF THE
STRONGEST STORMS COULD PRODUCE A DAMAGING WIND THREAT AND PERHAPS
BECOME BETTER ORGANIZED.

TONIGHT...
MID-LVL VORT WILL QUICKLY PEEL OFF TO THE EAST/NORTHEAST BY
00Z...AND COULD SEE A QUICKER END TO THE CONVECTION JUST BEFORE 00Z.
FOR NOW WILL SHOW A STEADY DECREASING TREND IN THE PRECIP...WITH
MUCH DRIER/COOLER AIR STEADILY ADVECTING IN FROM THE NORTHWEST.
WINDS WILL SLOWLY TURN NORTHWEST OVERNIGHT. WRAP-AROUND MOISTURE
SHUD HOLD OFF UNTIL JUST AFT DAYBREAK SUN...WITH MUCH OF THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS REMAINING DRY. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL LIKELY HOLD IN
THE LOW 60S ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST CWFA...WHILE OTHER AREAS FALL INTO
THE MID/UPR 50S.

BEACHLER

LONG TERM SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

A SECONDARY TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE AND COLD FRONT WILL SHIFT
SOUTHWARD OVER THE AREA SUNDAY MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON.
MEANWHILE...IN THE MID AND UPPER LEVELS...A SIGNIFICANT
DISTURBANCE AND SPEED MAX...NOW OVER SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN...WILL
DROP SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS SOUTHERN WISCONSIN AND NORTHERN
ILLINOIS. THIS LOOKS PRODUCE SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS ACROSS THE
AREA...ESPECIALLY DURING THE MID MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON
HOURS. THE EXPECTED CLOUD COVER AND MUCH COOLER AIR MASS WILL
LIKELY ONLY ALLOW FOR TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 60S
ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS SUNDAY. IT ALSO LOOKS TO BE A BREEZY DAY
AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE DAKOTAS. WEST TO NORTHWESTERLY
WINDS EARLY SUNDAY MORNING WILL SHIFT NORTHERLY BY THE AFTERNOON
IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT.

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD EASTWARD FROM THE NORTHERN
PLAINS...SUNDAY NIGHT AND MOVE OVERHEAD ON MONDAY. THIS WILL
RESULT IN A COUPLE OF CHILLY NIGHTS ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT
AND MONDAY NIGHT...WITH TEMPERATURES POTENTIALLY DROPPING INTO THE
UPPER 30S IN SOME AREAS.

THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AFTER SUNDAY LOOKS VERY NICE AND DRY.
TEMPERATURES WILL MODERATE BACK INTO THE 70S BY MID WEEK AS THE
SURFACE HIGH SHIFTS EAST OF THE AREA.

.AVIATION...

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

* SHRA AND EMBEDDED TSRA CROSSING THE TERMINALS FROM ABOUT 2030Z
  TIL AROUND 23Z. BRIEF MVFR VSBY POSSIBLE.

* WINDS SHIFTING TO WEST THIS EVENING...THEN NORTHWEST SUNDAY
  MORNING AND NORTH SUNDAY AFTERNOON. GUSTS INTO THE MID 20S
  POSSIBLE SUNDAY.

* ADDITIONAL SHRA POSSIBLE LATE THIS EVENING.

* ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS LATE SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH MID
  AFTERNOON. MVFR CIGS POSSIBLE.

MDB

//DISCUSSION...UPDATED 20Z...

SHRA AND EMBEDDED TSRA CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST ACROSS NORTHEAST IL
AND WILL BE EXITING TOWARD 23/00Z OR SO...THOUGH SOME SHRA
ACTIVITY MAY LINGER PAST THAT. HAVE MADE REFINEMENTS TO THE TAFS
TO ACCOUNT FOR EXPECTED TIMING.

FROM 18Z....

SHRA/TSRA HAS BEGUN TO DEVELOP TOWARD RPJ/DKB/VYS IN CONJUNCTION
WITH A BOUNDARY FROM EARLIER CONVECTION AND INCREASING UPPER
FORCING. EXPECT THIS ACTIVITY TO CONTINUE TO GRADUALLY INCREASE IN
COVERAGE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON BUT IT APPEARS THAT THE MORE
EXTENSIVE COVERAGE MAY END UP BEING SOUTH OF THE TERMINALS.
DESPITE THIS EXPECTATION DO EXPECT ORD/MDW/DPA TO BE IMPACTED IN
THE NEXT FEW HOURS...WITH GYY SEEING A BETTER CHANCE GOING INTO
LATE AFTERNOON. THERE ARE STILL SOME LIMITING FACTORS THAT MAY
KEEP COVERAGE ON THE LOW SIDE HOWEVER...SO CONFIDENCE IN COVERAGE
DETAILS IS STILL LIMITED. ANY STORMS THAT DO PASS DIRECTLY OVER
THE TERMINALS WILL BRING HEAVY DOWNPOURS AND POTENTIALLY BRIEF IFR
VSBY. LESS INTENSE SHRA ACTIVITY MAY PERSIST THROUGH LATE
AFTERNOON. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE BUT TURN WESTERLY LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING.

ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH WILL SWING SOUTHEAST AND EAST ACROSS
WISCONSIN LATER THIS EVENING AND MAY BRING A BAND OF SHOWERS
ACROSS THE TERMINALS TOWARD/JUST AFTER 06Z. HAVE NOT INCLUDED ANY
MENTION IN THE TAF AS IT MAY BE BRIEF AND REMAIN NORTH OF THE
AREA. WINDS MAY ALSO SHIFT BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST FOR A SHORT TIME
AS THE WAVE PASSES. WINDS WILL TURN NORTHWEST LATER SUNDAY MORNING
WITH ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH CROSSING DURING THE LATE MORNING AND
EARLY AFTERNOON. HAVE BETTER CONFIDENCE THAT SHRA WILL OCCUR WITH
THIS ACTIVITY. MVFR CIGS ALSO LOOK TO OCCUR...AT LEAST
INITIALLY...BUT MAY LIFT TO LOWER END VFR THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
WINDS WILL TURN NORTH AND POSSIBLY NORTH-NORTHEAST LATER IN THE
AFTERNOON. AM SEEING MIXED SIGNALS WITH REGARD TO WIND SPEEDS
THROUGH THE DAY BUT EXPECT STRONGEST WINDS FROM LATE MORNING
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS TO AROUND 25 KT. SPEEDS MAY EASE
A BIT AS WINDS TURN NORTH.

MDB

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

* HIGH CONFIDENCE IN MAIN SHRA/TSRA TIME WINDOW.

* HIGH CONFIDENCE IN WIND TRENDS...MEDIUM CONFIDENCE IN TIMING OF
  SHIFTS.

* LOW CONFIDENCE THAT SHRA WILL OCCUR LATE THIS EVENING.

* MEDIUM-HIGH CONFIDENCE IN SHRA SUNDAY. MEDIUM CONFIDENCE IN MVFR
  CIGS.

MDB

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

SUNDAY NIGHT...MAINLY VFR. PATCHY MVFR CIGS EARLY IN THE EVENING.
BREEZY NORTHWEST WINDS.

MONDAY...VFR. LIGHT WEST WINDS.

TUESDAY...VFR. NORTHEAST WINDS.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...VFR. GENERALLY SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH WINDS.

.MARINE...
123 PM CDT

FRONT THROUGH THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.  THE FIRST ROUND GALES
HAS SUBSIDED AND THE STRONGER...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVEL WINDS
OVER THE NEARSHORE WATERS ARE SUBSIDING AS WELL AS THE FRONTAL
TROUGH APPROACHES THE LAKE AND THE GRADIENT WEAKENS.  AS THE LOW
LIFTS TO THE NORTHEAST THROUGH QUEBEC...IT WILL DRAG A COLD FRONT
ACROSS THE LAKE...TURNING WINDS NWLY AND THEN NLY BY MID DAY
SUNDAY.  THE STRONGEST PUSH OF COLD ADVECTION SHOULD BE OVER THE
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE LAKE...SO...THERE IS STILL A CHANCE FOR
MARGINAL NLY GALES OVER THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE LAKE.  WILL
MAINTAIN THE GOING GALE WATCH FOR SUNDAY AND NOT UPGRADE TO A GALE
WARNING JUST YET SINCE THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO THE
TIMING...DURATION AND EXTENT OF GALES.  THE FRONT WILL FINALLY PUSH
SOUTH OF THE LAKE BY MID DAY SUNDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER
THE CENTRAL PLAINS...MAINTAINING NLY WINDS THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT OR
EARLY MONDAY MORNING.  BY MONDAY AFTERNOON...THE CENTER OF THE HIGH
WILL SLIDE JUST SOUTH OF THE LAKE AND THEN MOVE TO THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES TUESDAY...ALLOWING WINDS TO TURN SOUTHERLY AGAIN.
HOWEVER...DO NOT EXPECT THE SLY WINDS TO GET TOO STRONG...PERHAPS
10-15KT...SINCE THE AREAL EXTEND OF THE HIGH WILL SPREAD FROM THE
EAST COAST TO THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...SETTING UP A WEAK SLY
GRADIENT.  THE NEXT UPSTREAM TROUGH DEVELOPING IN THE LEE OF THE
ROCKIES THURSDAY AND FRIDAY IS NOT EXPECTED TO MAKE MUCH EWD
PROGRESS UNTIL SATURDAY NIGHT OR SUNDAY...SO THE LIGHT SLY WINDS
SHOULD PREVAIL OVER THE LAKE THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
