AFTERNOON...

* HIGH WAVE ACTION AND DANGEROUS SWIMMING CONDITIONS EXPECTED.

* FORECAST WAVE HEIGHTS...3 TO 5 FEET.

* STRONG RIP CURRENTS AND STRUCTURAL CURRENTS EXPECTED.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

LIFE THREATENING WAVES AND CURRENTS ARE EXPECTED AT THE BEACHES.
PEOPLE VISITING THE BEACHES SHOULD STAY OUT OF THE WATER.

RIP CURRENTS ARE POWERFUL CHANNELS OF WATER FLOWING QUICKLY AWAY
FROM SHORE...WHICH OCCUR MOST OFTEN AT LOW SPOTS OR BREAKS IN
SANDBARS. STRUCTURAL CURRENTS FORM ALONG PIERS WHERE LONGSHORE
CURRENTS AND WAVE ACTION FLOW INTO THE STRUCTURE. RIP CURRENTS
AND STRUCTURAL CURRENTS CAN SWEEP YOU INTO DEEPER WATER.

EXPOSED BEACHES ARE MORE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT WAVE AND CURRENT IMPACTS.

IMPACTS AT BEACHES WITH PROTECTIVE BREAKWALLS OR JETTIES WILL BE
SUBJECT TO ORIENTATION OF STRUCTURES AS WELL AS WIND AND WAVE
DIRECTION.

342 AM CDT THU JUL 9 2015

.SHORT TERM...
338 AM CDT

THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...

MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGES/CONCERNS ARE WITH LINGERING LIGHT
SHOWERS THIS MORNING...AND WITH MAX TEMPS TODAY.

LATEST RADAR IMAGERY DEPICTING HEAVIEST PRECIP AXIS SHIFTING EAST
OF THE CWA AT THIS TIME...WHILE EITHER LIGHT SHOWERS OR DRIZZLE
REMAIN ACROSS NORTHEAST ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA. WITH
DEPARTING LARGE SCALE ASCENT/SURFACE LOW THIS MORNING...EXPECT
THIS REMAINING PRECIP TO SLOWLY EXIT BY MID MORNING. THE HEAVIEST
RAINFALL GENERALLY OCCURRED WITHIN THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH AREA
OVERNIGHT AND WHILE THERE IS FLOODING ONGOING ACROSS A PORTIONS OF
THOSE AREAS...HAVE DECIDED TO CANCEL THE WATCH WITH THE MORNING
FORECAST ISSUANCE. CANCELLED BASED ON HEAVY RAIN NO LONGER
EXPECTED AND WITH THE AREAS THAT WERE IN THE WATCH NOW EITHER IN A
FLOOD OR FLASH FLOOD WARNING. PATCHY FOG WILL CONTINUE TO BE
PRESENT ACROSS THE CWA OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS BUT WITH STEADY
WINDS AND CLOUD COVER IN PLACE...DONT ANTICIPATE VIS TO FALL MUCH
FURTHER THAN THE 2 TO 4 MILES WHICH ARE OCCURRING NOW. LINGERING
CLOUD COVER TODAY AND WEAK CAA WILL ALLOW FOR ANOTHER COOL DAY.
HAVE LOWERED MAX TEMPS TODAY WITH LOW TO MID 70S EXPECTED FOR MOST
AREAS...AND AROUND 70 NEAR THE LAKE. MODELS CONTINUE TO COME IN
DRIER THROUGH THE END OF THE WORK WEEK...HAVE REMOVED POPS ON
FRIDAY...AND BUMPED UP MAX TEMPS. HAVE EVEN LOWERED POPS FRIDAY
NIGHT AND CONFINED THE HIGHEST POPS ACROSS THE WESTERN CWA AFTER
MIDNIGHT. HOWEVER...ITS POSSIBLE THAT MOST LOCATIONS WILL REMAIN
DRY EVEN FRIDAY NIGHT.

.LONG TERM...
338 AM CDT

SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

WARM/MOIST PUSH APPEARS TO REALLY GET GOING SATURDAY THROUGH THE
REST OF THE WEEKEND...WITH MORE SUMMER LIKE CONDITIONS EXPECTED
THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK. MODELS DO VARY WITH REGARDS TO
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES...ALTHOUGH...THE PERIOD APPEARS TO CONTINUE
TO BE ACTIVE. THERE IS THUNDERSTORM CHANCES DURING THE DAY
SATURDAY BUT WILL BE PARTLY DRIVEN BY WHERE LIFTING WARM FRONT IS
SITUATED...WITH MODELS STRUGGLING WITH AT THIS TIME.
HOWEVER...GUIDANCE IS HINTING AT A BETTER POSSIBILITY FOR MORE
ORGANIZED DEVELOPMENT SATURDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.
STILL UNCERTAINTY PRESENT...BUT A POSSIBLE SCENARIO WILL BE FOR
MCS DEVELOPMENT TO THE WEST/NORTHWEST SHIFTING ACROSS THE CWA
DURING THIS TIME. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR... DAMAGING WINDS AND
HEAVY RAINFALL WOULD BE POSSIBLE. ONCE AGAIN...STILL SOME
UNCERTAINTY...BUT SYNOPTIC SETUP WITH INCREASING
MOISTURE/INSTABILITY WOULD SUPPORT THIS POSSIBILITY AT THIS TIME.

200 AM CDT

LOW PRESSURE SOUTH OF LAKE MICHIGAN WILL QUICKLY MOVE NORTHEAST TO
THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES TODAY...THEN OFF TO THE NEW ENGLAND COAST
TONIGHT. NORTHERLY WINDS INCREASE IN RESPONSE WITH 15 TO 20 KT
EXPECTED ACROSS THE SOUTH END OF THE LAKE TO START THE DAY BEFORE

LATE SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY ALLOWING WINDS TO TAKE ON A SE
