AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
817 PM CDT MON OCT 13 2014

.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
817 PM CDT

IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT THE REST OF THE
EVENING IS VERY LIMITED...THOUGH NON-ZERO. WSR-88D IS STILL
DETECTING WEAK ROTATION IN A COUPLE OF MINI-SUPERCELL TYPE STORMS
OVER IROQUOIS AND MOVING INTO SOUTHERN KANKAKEE COUNTIES.
ENVIRONMENT CONTINUES TO BE CHARACTERIZED BY VERY STRONG SHEAR AND
VERY LIMITED INSTABILITY. MODIFYING ILX'S 00Z SOUNDING FOR SFC T/TD
OVER OUR SE CWA YIELDS SBCAPE VALUES OF A COUPLE HUNDRED J/KG. ITS
NOT UNHEARD OF TO GET TORNADOES IN SUCH HIGHLY SHEARED/WEAKLY
UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENTS...SO GIVEN THE PRESENCE OF A COUPLE OF WEAKLY
ROTATING STORMS WITHIN THIS ENVIRONMENT I AM HESITANT TO CANCEL THE
TORNADO WATCH (AT LEAST FOR NOW) EVEN THOUGH THE THREAT APPEARS TO
BE QUITE LOW.

IZZI

.DISCUSSION...
258 PM CDT

THE REGION WILL BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A SLOW MOVING CLOSED UPPER
LOW WHICH WILL RESULT IN WET AND ACTIVE WEATHER OVER THE NEXT FEW
DAYS.

//SHORT TERM...

TODAY AND TONIGHT...
THIS AFTERNOON...A DEEP TROUGH IS NOTED ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
ACROSS CENTRAL CONUS WITH A CLOSED UPPER LOW SPINNING AT THE BASE
OF THE TROUGH OVER EASTERN OKLAHOMA. SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS LOW
PRESSURE CENTERED OVER CENTRAL MISSOURI WITH A WARM FRONT DRAPED
ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS. DEWPOINTS IN THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES OF THE
OUTLOOK AREA ALONG THE WARM FRONT HAVE RISEN INTO THE MID/UPPER
60S WHERE A FEW HUNDRED J/KG CAPE IS PRESENT. THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING...STRENGTHENING WINDS ALOFT
ARE EXPECTED WITH BOTH THE UPPER JET AND LOW LEVEL JET WHICH WILL
RESULT IN STRONG DEEP LAYER SHEAR VALUES AND STRONG MOISTURE
TRANSPORT INTO THE REGION WITH PWATS RISING TO BETWEEN 1.6 AND 1.7
INCHES BY THIS EVENING. THE SURFACE LOW WILL SLOWLY DRIFT NE OVER
THE NEXT 24 HOURS OR SO WITH WHAT SHOULD BE TWO AXIS OF HEAVY RAIN
BIFURCATING THE CWA. THE FIRST AXIS WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH A DEEP
AND PERSISTENT AREA OF ISENTROPIC ASCENT AND STRONG MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE ON THE NOSE OF A LOW LEVEL JET WHICH WILL STRETCH FROM
ROUGHLY SOUTH CENTRAL IA INTO NORTHWEST/NORTH CENTRAL IL THEN
CENTRAL WI. PRECIPITATION INTENSITY WITH THIS AREA SHOULD PEAK
OVER NORTH CENTRAL IL THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH MID EVENING...THEN
THE BETTER FORCING WILL SHIFT NORTH INTO WISCONSIN THEREAFTER. THE
SECOND AREA OF CONCERN STRETCHES FROM FAR EAST CENTRAL IL/NW
INDIANA WHERE VERY MODEST INSTABILITY AND STRONG SHEAR WILL
SUPPORT LINEAR CONVECTION. GIVEN THE MOIST SOUNDINGS...THESE
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BE EFFICIENT RAIN PRODUCERS. WHILE
THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN THE AVAILABLE INSTABILITY...
ESPECIALLY AS WE MOVE BEYOND MOST FAVORABLE DIURNAL TIMING...THERE
IS A SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WITH THE MAIN CONCERN BEING DAMAGING
STRAIGHT LINE WINDS. ENHANCED HELICITY NEAR THE WARM FROM WILL
ALSO PROMOTE A LOW END TORNADO THREAT THIS EVENING. THE HEART OF
THE CWA INCLUDING THE CHICAGO METRO AREA MAY BE SPARED SOME OF THE
HIGHER RAINFALL TOTALS BUT STILL EXPECT PERIODS OF RAIN AND
DRIZZLE AT TIMES THROUGH THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS.

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
SURFACE LOW IS PROGGED TO BE OVER WEST CENTRAL ILLINOIS EARLY
TUESDAY MORNING. MID LEVEL RH FIELDS INDICATE THAT THE DRY SLOT WILL
ROTATE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA EARLY TUESDAY. WITH THE LOSS OF THE
DEEPER MOISTURE...EXPECT PRECIP TO TAPER TO A LIGHT RAIN AND DRIZZLE
FOR A PERIOD EARLY TUESDAY...THEN TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY THE
DEFORMATION ZONE WILL SLOWLY TRANSLATE ACROSS THE AREA WITH PRECIP
PICKING UP AGAIN. BY WEDNESDAY MORNING...THE SURFACE LOW IS EXPECTED
TO BE IN NORTHWEST INDIANA. DESPITE HEIGHTS BUILDING ALOFT AND
WARMING/DRYING IN THE MID/UPPER LEVELS...LOW LEVEL FLOW WILL REMAIN
CYCLONIC WITH NEAR SATURATED CONDITIONS SUPPORTING CONTINUED
POSSIBILITY FOR DRIZZLE AND LIGHT RAIN WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT
BEHIND THE DEPARTING LOW. LOW LEVEL FLOW STARTS TO BECOME
ANTICYCLONIC ON THURSDAY AND SHOULD ALLOW SKIES TO SCATTER OUT AND
FOR PRECIP TO END.

//LONG TERM...
FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...
AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE EMANATING FROM THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST IS
PROGGED TO MERGE WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED SLOW MOVING UPPER LOW
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION ON THURSDAY...AND EVENTUALLY DRIVING A
REINFORCING COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA ON SATURDAY. SOUNDINGS
INDICATE THE AIRMASS IS PRETTY DRY OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT SO CHANCE
FOR PRECIP ARE PRETTY LOW. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN BEHIND THE FRONT
AND SHOULD RESULT IN CONTINUED COOL BUT DRIER WEATHER REST OF THE
WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

.AVIATION...

//ORD AND MDW CONCERNS...UPDATED 00Z...

* OCNL SHRA AND POSSIBLY A TSRA THIS EVENING
* OCNL MVFR AND POSSIBLE IFR CIGS THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD
* SOUTHEAST TO SOUTH WINDS OCCASIONALLY GUSTY THROUGH AROUND
  MIDNIGHT THEN EASING A BIT
* WIND SHIFT TO STRONG NNE WINDS POSSIBLE LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON OR
  MONDAY EVENING WITH RETURN TO IFR CIGS

IZZI

//DISCUSSION...UPDATED 00Z...

COMPLEX FORECAST THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS STRONG STORM SYSTEM MOVES
SLOWLY ACROSS THE REGION. WARM FRONT HAS LIFTED NORTH OF THE
TERMINALS WITH GREATLY IMPROVED CIGS AND VSBY OUTSIDE OF THE
HEAVIER SHOWERS WHERE BRIEF IFR VSBYS ARE OCCURRING. CURRENT BAND
OF RAIN AND ISOLD TSRA WILL SHIFT EAST OF THE TERMINALS BY 02Z
WITH MORE SPOTTY SHRA ACTIVITY IN ITS WAKE. SOME MODELS DO SHOW
REDEVELOPMENT OF HEAVIER RAIN OVERNIGHT AND HAVE COVERED THIS
THREAT WITH TEMPO FOR SHRA...THOUGH CONFIDENCE IS NOT OVERLY HIGH.
WITHIN THE APPROACHING DRY SLOT THAT MOVES INTO THE AREA LATE THIS
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT EXPECT CIGS TO POTENTIALLY BECOME HIGHLY
VARIABLE...WITH ANYTHING FROM IFR/LIFR TO VFR POSSIBLE. SEEMS
LIKELY NOW THAT THE LOW WILL MOVE SLOWLY ACROSS CHICAGO AREA
DURING THE DAY MONDAY WITH LAKE ENHANCED COLD FRONT POTENTIALLY
BEING HELD AT BAY UNTIL LATE IN THE AFTERNOON OR EVENING AT THE
CHICAGO AREA TERMINALS. AN ALTERNATIVE POSSIBILITY IS THE LIGHT
WINDS NEAR THE CENTER OF THE LOW COULD ALLOW FRONT TO ACCELERATE
SOUTHWARD MORE QUICKLY. MODELS VARY FROM 14Z MON TO 06Z TUES WITH
TIMING OF FROPA FOR ORD...SO CONFIDENCE IS VERY LOW. MAJORITY OF
THE RAIN MONDAY COULD END UP NORTHWEST OF THE REGION WITHIN THE
DEFORMATION BAND WITH JUST SPOTTY SHOWERS IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA.
ONCE FRONT DOES MOVE THROUGH LOOK FOR IFR CIGS TO LOCK BACK IN
WITH SHARP MARINE ENHANCED FRONTAL INVERSION.

.MARINE...
315 PM CDT

STRONG LOW PRESSURE LIFTING OUT OF MISSOURI LATE THIS AFTERNOON
HAS A WARM SECTOR THAT IS QUICKLY MOVING NORTHWARD ACROSS ILLINOIS
AND INDIANA. THIS WILL REACH THE FAR SOUTHERN PART OF THE LAKE BY
SUNSET...LEADING TO SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA WINDS. THE WINDS MAY BE
THE STRONGEST THIS EVENING ON THE INDIANA SHORE GIVEN THE OFFSHORE
COMPONENT...WHILE THE WAVES BUILDING THE QUICKEST ON THE ILLINOIS
SHORE WITH THE ONSHORE FLOW. DENSE FOG WILL LIKELY EASE QUICKLY
OVER THE FAR SOUTHERN PART OF THE LAKE INTO EARLY THIS
EVENING WITH THIS INCREASING FLOW...AS WELL AS RAIN MOVING
OVER THE LAKE HELPING TO MIX THE MARINE LAYER.

AS THE LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES THE LAKE IT WILL SLOW AS WELL AS
GRADUALLY EXPAND. THIS MAKES IT CHALLENGING FOR WINDS AS THE WARM
FRONTAL PORTION OF THIS LOW /SEPARATING NORTHEAST WINDS FROM
SOUTHEAST/ WILL EXTEND OVER THE LAKE AND WILL GRADUALLY WEAKEN
TOO. THIS DEMARCATION IN WINDS WILL LIKELY BE ACROSS THE CENTRAL
PART OF THE LAKE DURING THE DAY TUESDAY AND THEN GRADUALLY FADE
INTO THE DAY WEDNESDAY...ALLOWING NORTHERLY WINDS TO ENVELOP
SOUTHWARD. THIS COULD HAPPEN MORE QUICKLY THOUGH WHICH WOULD LEAD
TO SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA WAVES AND POSSIBLY WINDS INTO THE ILLINOIS
NEARSHORE LATE TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY EVENING.

IN ADDITION...IT IS POSSIBLE TEMPORARY NORTHEAST GALES COULD BE
EXPERIENCED ON THE NORTHERN PART OF THE LAKE TUESDAY NORTH OF THE
WARM FRONT.
