AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
1233 AM CDT MON JUN 30 2014

.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
1210 AM CDT

BROKEN LINE OF CONVECTION CONTINUES TO MOVE EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN
WISCONSIN...WHILE FURTHER SOUTH A MORE WEST-EAST ORIENTED SEGMENT
IS STARTING TO SHOW SOME BOWING JUST NORTH OF THE QUAD CITIES.
SURFACE TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 70S WITH MID 70S DEW POINTS
INCLUDING REGULAR GUSTS ACROSS NORTHWEST IL ARE SUPPORTING OF
SURFACE-BASED ACTIVITY AND HAVE SEEN THIS REFLECTED IN RADAR THE
PAST COUPLE HOURS ALONG WITH TWO POTENTIAL TORNADO REPORTS FROM
THE MKX AND DVN CWAS. THE LOW-LEVEL SHEAR AND HELICITY ARE
STRONG...AROUND 25-30 KT AND 200-250 M2/S2 BASED ON THE DVN VAD
PROFILE. SO THE ENVIRONMENT REMAINS FAVORABLE FOR POSSIBLE LOW-
LEVEL ROTATION IN ANY SUPERCELL STRUCTURES AS WELL AS THE ABILITY
TO STRENGTHEN BOWING SEGMENTS. RADAR TRENDS IN THE PAST HALF HOUR
HAVE SHOWN SIGNS OF A LITTLE MORE OUTFLOW DRIVEN STORMS/SEGMENTS
WITHIN THE BROKEN LINE...INDICATING MORE OF A WIND
THREAT...THROUGH SOME REGULARLY MODEST BOOKEND VORTICY SIGNATURES
INCLUDING NEAR THE WISCONSIN/ILLINOIS STATE LINE NORTH OF ROCKFORD
AND NEAR CLINTON AS OF 1210 AM.

COMPARING VAD PROFILES BETWEEN DMX AND DVN IT IS CLEAR THERE IS A
MID-LEVEL WAVE...LIKELY CONVECTIVELY ENHANCED...THAT IS HELPING
TO KEEP THIS ACTIVITY ROBUST...ALONG WITH UPPER JET SUPPORT. THIS
WAVE SHOULD ALSO HELP TO MOVE STORMS ALONG EASTWARD...ALONG WITH
THE VEERING OF THE LOW-LEVEL JET THOUGH SOME BACKBUILDING HAS BEEN
SEEN. CONVECTION SHOULD STILL SEE A VERY SLOW WEAKENING
TREND...LIKELY MORE SO AS IT NEARS CHICAGO DUE TO A STRONGER
INVERSION. IF HOWEVER CONVECTION IS ORGANIZED WITH A SUSTAINING
COLD POOL...THEN A SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL BE MORE LIKELY
FURTHER EAST THAN CURRENT WATCH.

MTF

.DISCUSSION...
801 PM CDT

ALL ATTENTION THIS EVENING IS FOCUSED ON THE RATHER IMPRESSIVE
ONGOING CONVECTION ACROSS IOWA.

IT APPEARS THAT ALTHOUGH LARGE SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT IS RATHER
WEAK...THAT THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP/MAINTAIN
ITSELF ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN SECTIONS OF IOWA THROUGH THIS
EVENING AS THE LOW LEVEL JET INCREASES. THE MAIN CONCERNS FOR MY
AREA IS IF ANY OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL BUILD UPSCALE INTO ANY FORWARD
PROPAGATING SEGMENTS. UNFORTUNATELY CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW WITH THIS
POSSIBILITY. HOWEVER...IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR...THE CORFIDI FORWARD
PROPAGATING VECTORS SUGGEST THAT THE FORWARD PROPAGATING SEGMENTS
WOULD FAVOR A NEARLY DUE EASTERLY MOVEMENT. THIS WOULD SUGGEST THAT
FAR NORTHERN ILLINOIS WOULD BE THE MOST LIKELY CANDIDATES FOR THIS
ACTIVITY LATER TONIGHT AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE 00 UTC SOUNDING OUT OF
KDVN INDICATES THE PRESENCE OF A STRONGLY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT...WITH
JUST OVER 3800 J/KG OF SBCAPE...THANKS TO THE PRESENCE OF VERY STEEP
MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ASSOCIATED WITH AN EML. ALTHOUGH THIS EML IS
ACTING AS A CAP CURRENTLY...ONCE STORMS EVOLVE EASTWARD...THE DRY
AIR IN THE MID LEVELS SUGGESTS THE POTENTIAL OF OUTFLOW DOMINATE
STORMS...WHICH WOULD CERTAINLY FAVOR THE POTENTIAL FOR FORWARD
PROPAGATING CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING
WINDS AND POSSIBLY SOME LARGE HAIL...ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE
PRESENCE OF NEARLY 50 KT OF MID LEVEL WESTERLY FLOW.

THE MAIN WILDCARD TO THIS POSSIBILITY OF CONVECTION MOVING ACROSS
NORTHERN ILLINOIS TONIGHT WILL BE IF AND HOW THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY
EXPECTED FARTHER SOUTH ACROSS MISSOURI TONIGHT AFFECTS THE MOISTURE
TRANSPORT INTO NORTHERN ILLINOIS. MODEL GUIDANCE DOES SUGGEST THAT
THE PORTIONS OF MISSOURI WILL RESIDE ALONG THE NOSE OF THE LOW LEVEL
JET TONIGHT...AND THIS COMBINED WITH THE PRESENCE OF A CONVECTIVELY
ENHANCED SHORT WAVE ACROSS EASTERN KANSAS...COULD FAVOR CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY TO THRIVE IN MISSOURI TONIGHT. IN RETURN...THIS COULD ACT
TO ROB THE MOISTURE TRANSPORT FROM STORMS MOVING INTO NORTHERN
ILLINOIS...WHICH COULD CAUSE THEM TO WEAKEN AS THEY SHIFT EASTWARD
OVERNIGHT.

GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY IN WHICH SCENARIO WILL PLAY OUT...I HAVE CHOSEN
TO NOT MAKE ANY BIG CHANGES TO THE GOING POPS AT THIS TIME. OUR
CURRENT FORECAST PLACES THE HIGHEST CHANCES ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL
ILLINOIS FROM 6 TO 9 UTC TONIGHT...WHICH STILL SEEMS
REASONABLE.

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT CONTINUES TO LOOK THE GREATEST FOR LATE
MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

KJB

//PREV DISCUSSION...
204 PM CDT

TONIGHT...
LINGERING STRATUS CLOUDS FINALLY BURNED OFF LATE THIS MORNING...WITH
SOME SCATTERED CUMULUS DEVELOPING EARLY THIS AFTN. VISIBLE IMAGERY
INDICATES SOME OF THE CU FIELD WAS BECOMING AGITATED AND TRYING TO
BUILD SOUTH OF I-80 THIS AFTN...WHICH WAS THE REGION WHERE BETTER
MOISTURE WAS AVAILABLE AS DEW POINTS LINGERED ARND 70 TO LOW 70S.
THE STRONGER WAVE WAS STILL WELL WEST OF THE CWFA INTO
CENTRAL/WESTERN IOWA...WITH THE FOCUS FOR STRONG/SEVERE STORMS THIS
AFTN/EVE WILL RESIDE. FURTHER EAST ACROSS NORTHERN IL/NORTHWEST
IN...THE ATMOSPHERE WILL STEADILY BECOME MORE UNSTABLE. SOUNDINGS
CONTINUE TO INDICATE A WEAK WARM LAYER ALOFT...HOWEVER IT HAS BEEN
SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN WAS EXPECTED. WHICH WILL LIKELY KEEP TEMPS
SLIGHTLY COOLER THIS AFTN...ALTHOUGH A FEW POINTS ALONG AND SOUTH OF
LASALLE TO VALPARAISO COULD STILL TAG 90 THIS AFTN. OTHERWISE TEMPS
SHUD TOP OUT IN THE MID TO PERHAPS UPR 80S.

THE STORY FOR TONIGHT WILL BE SHOW OR NO-SHOW IN REGARDS TO
CONVECTION. THEN IN WHAT CAPACITY WILL IT ARRIVE ACROSS A PORTION OF
OUR CWFA TONIGHT/EARLY MON. LATEST RAP SOUNDINGS WOULD SUGGEST WE
ARE SITTING ON ABOUT 2K J/KG OF CAPE...UNFORTUNATELY A WARM LAYER
ALOFT WILL LIKELY KEEP CONVECTIVE COVERAGE TO A MINIMA THRU AT LEAST
23Z. UPSTREAM THE SPC MESOANALYSIS INDICATES THE INHIBITION OVER
CENTRAL IA SHUD BEGIN TO DISSOLVE BY 20-21Z...AND EXPECT AN UPTICK
IN CONVECTIVE GROWTH THERE. LOCAL ARW8KM SOLUTION HAS A SIMILAR WARM
LAYER ALOFT...WHICH WILL LIKELY ACT AS A CAP AND COULD LINGER TO
ARND 00Z MON TO POSSIBLY 04Z.

UTILIZING THE BUNKER STORM MOTION...IT APPEARS THAT IF CONVECTION
CAN DEVELOP UPSTREAM IT WOULD SLIDE EAST TOWARDS THE CENTRAL CWFA
THEN TURN SOUTHEAST CLIPPING THE SOUTHERN CWFA. BUT THE QUESTION
REMAINS WILL CONVECTION BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN ITSELF INTO THE CWFA
TONIGHT...AND WITH THE STRENGTHENING PUSH OF WARM AIR ALOFT THIS
LOOKS TO BE CHALLENGING.

EXPECT TEMPS TO REMAIN MILD WITH LOWS IN THE LOW 70S.

MONDAY...
THIS CONTINUES TO BE THE DAY OF GREATEST CONCERN FOR STRONG/SEVERE
STORMS. THE TIMING FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT LOOKS TO BE FOCUSED IN
THE AFTN/EVE TIMEFRAME. THE DAY SHUD START OFF WITH SOME SCT SHOWERS
POSSIBLY AN ISOLATED STORM OR TWO. PROFILES INDICATE STEEPENING
LAPSE RATES BY EARLY AFTN...HOWEVER THERE IS STILL A SIZABLE PUSH
OF WARM AIR ALOFT THAT COULD KEEP THINGS CAPPED YET AGAIN THRU
21-22Z MON. GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SUGGEST THE WAVE OVER IOWA ALONG
THE LEADING EDGE OF A MID-LVL TROUGH/VORT TO BE THE FOCAL POINT.
THIS FEATURE IS PROGGED TO ARRIVE OVER THE FORECAST AREA AFT
21Z...SO THE TIMING OF LATE AFTN/EVE FOR GREATEST CONVECTIVE GROWTH
AND COVERAGE REMAINS IN PLACE. STORM MOTION MON EVE LOOKS TO BE
PUSHING EAST THEN BEGIN TURNING SOUTHEAST. AT THIS TIME SPC HAS THE
ENTIRE AREA OUTLOOKED FOR SLIGHT RISK...WITH THE GREATEST HAZARDS
BEING LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.

TEMPS MON WILL HINGE UPON THE MORNING CLOUD COVERAGE AND HOW QUICKLY
THAT CAN ERODE. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS TEMPS SHUD PUSH INTO THE
MID/UPR 80S WITH DEW PTS IN THE LOW 70S. THE COMBINATION WILL CREATE
HEAT INDEX VALUES IN THE MID/UPR 90S.

TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...
DRY SLOT QUICKLY ARRIVES BEHIND THE VORT PASSAGE TUE...WHICH SHUD
ALLOW MUCH OF TUE TO BE DRY. LLVL FLOW WILL REMAIN SOUTHWESTERLY
WITH A MORE ROBUST MID-LVL TROUGH JUST UPSTREAM ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PLAINS THAT WILL ARRIVE ACROSS THE REGION WED. ANOTHER LOBE OF
VORTICITY IS PROGGED TO PIVOT OVERHEAD WED MORNING...AND WILL BRING
ANOTHER CHC FOR PRECIP. GIVEN THE LACK OF STRONG INSTABILITY...IT
LOOKS LIKE THIS WILL BE GENERAL SHOWERS. FLOW THEN TURNS
NORTHWESTERLY WITH MUCH COOLER AIR FILTERING INTO THE CWFA. TUE
HIGHS WILL LIKELY STILL TAG THE 80S...WITH TEMPS STRUGGLING TO WARM
BEYOND THE LOW/MID 70S WED/THUR. BROAD SFC RIDGE THEN QUICKLY BUILDS
IN WED NGT/THUR...WITH PLEASANT AND LESS HUMID CONDS DEVELOPING.

CONFIDENCE...HIGH.

FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
ENSEMBLES CONTINUE TO SUGGEST THAT THE PATTERN MAY BE ADJUSTING FOR
THE END OF THE WEEK/WEEKEND WITH A RIDGE BUILDING INTO THE CANADIAN
ROCKIES...WHICH WOULD ALLOW A DOWNSTREAM TROUGH ACROSS THE GREAT
LAKES/NORTHEAST CONUS. IN CONCERT WITH THE RIDGE OUT WEST...THERMAL
TEMPS ARE PROGGED TO SOAR WELL ABOVE NORMAL IN THE WEST AS WELL.
THIS WILL LIKELY AID IN MORE SEASONAL TEMPS FOR THE OUR FORECAST
AREA WITH TEMPS GENERALLY IN THE 70S TO POSSIBLY MID 80S. WHILE IT
LOOKS LIKE A DRY WEEKEND IS IN STORE FOR THE CWFA...IT IS POSSIBLE A
WEAK WAVE COULD SLIDE SOUTHEAST TOWARDS THE REGION AND GENERATE SOME
LOW CHC POPS.

CONFIDENCE...HIGH.

.AVIATION...

//ORD AND MDW CONCERNS...UPDATED 06Z...

* TSRA 08Z-10Z EARLY THIS MORNING.
* LOW MVFR CIGS THROUGH MID MORNING.
* STRONG/GUSTY SOUTH/SOUTHWEST WINDS FROM MID/LATE MORNING THROUGH
  MID EVENING.
* TSRA LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH MID EVENING WITH STRONG/ERRATIC
  WINDS/HEAVY RAIN. CMS

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

LINE OF TSRA WILL MOVE ACROSS THE TERMINALS EARLY THIS MORNING
WITH SOME WEAKENING EXPECTED AS THEY REACH THE SOUTHERN END OF
LAKE MICHIGAN. STRONGEST STORMS WILL PRODUCE TORRENTIAL RAIN AND
STRONG/GUSTY WINDS. DEPENDING ON THE OVERALL EVOLUTION...IT IS
POSSIBLE STRONGEST CELLS MAY MOVE NORTH AND/OR SOUTH OF THE
TERMINALS.

DEWPOINTS BACK IN THE LOWER 70S EARLY THIS MORNING HAVE MAINTAINED
MIXED LOW LEVELS AND EXPECT GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS INTO THE MID/UPPER
TEEN RANGE UNTIL TSRA ARRIVE. MVFR CIGS HAVE ALSO DEVELOPED WITH
THESE MOIST LOW LEVELS. POSSIBLE CIGS MAY DIP TO IFR TOWARD
SUNRISE BUT PREVAILING LOWER MVFR CIGS LOOK ON TRACK THROUGH MID
OR POSSIBLY LATE MORNING.

ONCE THE CURRENT ACTIVITY WEAKENS/MOVES EAST OF THE TERMINALS...
EXPECT DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH MID AFTERNOON. TSRA EXPECTED TO
REDEVELOP JUST NORTHWEST OF RFD LATER THIS AFTERNOON WITH A LARGE
COMPLEX OF STORMS EXPECTED TO SPREAD ACROSS NORTHERN IL DURING THE
EARLY/MID EVENING. THESE STORMS WILL LIKELY PRODUCE STRONG/ERRATIC
WIND GUSTS AND TORRENTIAL RAIN WITH IFR/LIFR CIGS/VIS. MAINTAINED
TIMING FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST WHICH APPEARS TO BE THE BEST TIME
PERIOD...BUT SOME REFINEMENT CAN BE EXPECTED WITH LATER FORECASTS.

GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL DEVELOP DURING THE MID/LATE MORNING
HOURS AND STRENGTHEN DURING THE AFTERNOON. FORECAST SOUNDINGS
SUGGEST THAT SOUTH/SOUTHWEST WINDS MAY BECOME QUITE STRONG BY MID
TO LATE AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS POSSIBLY EXCEEDING 30KTS. NOT TOO
CONFIDENT HOW STRONG WINDS WILL BECOME DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON
BUT DID BUMP SPEEDS/GUSTS UP A BIT. CMS

//ORD AND MDW CONFIDENCE...UPDATED 06Z...

* HIGH FOR TSRA EARLY THIS MORNING.
* HIGH FOR MVFR CIGS THROUGH MID MORNING.
* MEDIUM FOR WIND SPEEDS/GUSTS THROUGH THE PERIOD.
* HIGH FOR TSRA LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH MID EVENING...MEDIUM ON
