AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
913 AM CDT MON MAY 11 2015

.SHORT TERM...
406 AM CDT

TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

MAIN FORECAST ISSUES ARE IN THE NEAR TERM THIS
MORNING...INCLUDING LINGERING DENSE FOG NORTH OF THE WARM
FRONT...TIMING OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AHEAD OF
ADVANCING COLD FRONT...AND GUSTY WEST WINDS DEVELOPING BEHIND THE
FRONT TODAY AND MORE SO TUESDAY.

SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WAS ANALYZED NORTH OF SIOUX FALLS SOUTH
DAKOTA EARLY THIS MORNING...WITH AN OCCLUSION EXTENDING SOUTHEAST
TO A TRIPLE POINT OVER SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA/NORTHEAST IOWA. A WARM
FRONT WAS DRAPED SOUTHEAST ACROSS NORTHERN IL AND IN...ROUGHLY
ALONG A MLI-IKK-SBN LINE AT 08Z/3AM CDT. THE WARM FRONT HAS BEEN
MOVING SLOWLY NORTH OVERNIGHT...IN RESPONSE TO STRONG SURFACE
PRESSURE FALLS DEVELOPING ACROSS THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND
NORTHWESTERN GREAT LAKES REGION AHEAD OF CLOSED UPPER LOW WHICH
WAS POSITIONED ABOVE THE OCCLUDING SURFACE CIRCULATION. THE WARM
FRONT IS PROGGED TO CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTH ACROSS THE AREA THIS
MORNING... CLEARING THE FAR NORTH SHORE AREAS OF NORTHEAST IL LAST
AS COOL MARINE AIR SLOWS ITS NORTHWARD PROGRESS. PARTS OF CENTRAL
AND NORTHERN COOK AND LAKE (IL) COUNTIES...ALONG WITH ADJACENT
MARINE WATERS...WILL CONTINUE TO SEE SOME PATCHY DENSE FOG AS THE
FRONT LIFTS NORTH AND HIGHER DEW POINT AIR MIXES WITH THE LAKE-
COOLED AIR...THOUGH VISIBILITY WAS IMPROVING ACROSS MOST OTHER
AREAS WITH WARMER AIR MOVING IN.

RAIN/THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL WILL INCREASE QUICKLY FROM THE
SOUTHWEST EARLY THIS MORNING...WITH A LARGE AREA OF
RAIN/THUNDERSTORMS OVER EASTERN MISSOURI AND SOUTHWEST/WEST
CENTRAL IL LIFTING TOWARD THE AREA IN ASSOCIATION WITH A STRONG
MID-LEVEL SHORT WAVE DISTURBANCE ROTATING THROUGH THE BASE OF THE
AFOREMENTIONED UPPER TROUGH. NEAR-TERM HIGH RES EXPLICIT
CONVECTION GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN SPREADING RA/TSRA OVER
THE AREA IN THE 10-13Z TIME FRAME...WITH THE SOUTHEAST 2/3 OF THE
CWA EXPECTED TO RECEIVED THE GREATEST COVERAGE THIS MORNING AND
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AS THE SHORT WAVE LIFTS ACROSS THE AREA...AND
THE OCCLUDING COLD FRONT PUSHES ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FROM
WEST-EAST. EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER AND MORNING PRECIP WILL LIKELY
LIMIT THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG DESTABILIZATION ACROSS THE
CWA...WITH A RELATIVELY LOW SEVERE THREAT DESPITE INCREASING DEEP
LAYER BULK SHEAR OF 40-50 KTS BY THIS AFTERNOON. FAR EAST CENTRAL
ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA WILL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE FOR
STRONGER STORMS WITH THE COLD FRONT ARRIVING THERE LATER THIS
AFTERNOON...THOUGH IT APPEARS THAT DESTABILIZATION WILL BE GREATER
FARTHER TO THE EAST AND SPC HAS BACKED OFF TO A MARGINAL SEVERE
THREAT IN OUR FAR EAST. THUNDERSTORM THREAT SHOULD END FROM WEST
TO EAST WITH COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE THIS AFTERNOON...BY EARLY
AFTERNOON FOR I-39 CORRIDOR IN NORTH CENTRAL IL...AND BY LATE
AFTERNOON ACROSS CHICAGO AND THE I-55 CORRIDOR. ANY LINGERING
STORMS SHOULD EXIT THE CWA TO THE EAST PRIOR TO SUNSET.

WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST AND MAY GUST TO 25 MPH OR
SO ESPECIALLY BEHIND THE COLD FRONT LATER THIS AFTERNOON. WESTERLY
WINDS WILL REMAIN BREEZY TONIGHT...WITH WINDY CONDITIONS LIKELY
TUESDAY AS COOL ADVECTION MAINTAINS STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES IN
TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT SURROUNDING DEPARTING LOW. WILL LIKELY SEE
SOME CLEARING BEHIND THE FRONT THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY THIS
EVENING... THOUGH FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE A LAYER OF COLD-AIR
STRATOCU WILL LIKELY SPREAD ACROSS ESPECIALLY NORTHERN PARTS OF
THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT AND LINGER INTO TUESDAY BEFORE CLEARING
LATE.

TEMPERATURES WILL WARM TODAY NEAR THE TRIPLE POINT OF THE
OCCLUDED/COLD AND WARM FRONTS...WITH HIGHS FROM NEAR 70 FAR
NORTHWEST TO THE MID 70S SOUTHEAST. BREEZY/WINDY SOUTHWEST-WEST
WINDS WILL PREVENT LAKE COOLING LATER TODAY AND TUESDAY...THOUGH
LAKE AND PORTER COUNTIES COULD SEE SOME AFTERNOON COOLING TUESDAY
AS WINDS TURN SLIGHTLY NORTHWEST ALONG THE LAKE SHORE.

UPPER RIDGE EVENTUALLY BUILDS IN STRONGLY TUESDAY NIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY...WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE MOVING ACROSS THE AREA.
MAINLY CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHTER NORTH WINDS WILL ALLOW FOR CHILLY
OVERNIGHT TEMPS IN THE UPPER 30S/LOW 40S...WITH 60S DURING THE DAY
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. NORTHEAST WINDS WILL BRING LAKE COOLING TO
NORTHEAST IL/NORTHWEST IN WEDNESDAY HOWEVER...WITH HIGHS ONLY IN
THE 50S NEAR THE LAKE.

.LONG TERM...
423 AM CDT

THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE IS IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT IN DEVELOPING A
DEEP TROUGH ALONG THE WEST COAST WITH AN UPPER LOW MOVING ASHORE
ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BY FRIDAY. DOWNSTREAM OF THIS LARGE
AMPLIFIED TROUGH...A WEAKER TROUGH EJECTS NORTHEAST INTO THE UPPER
RIDGE WHICH DEVELOPS ACROSS THE MIDWEST DURING MID-WEEK. WEAK
SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WITH THIS SYSTEM DEVELOPS OVER THE PLAINS
THURSDAY...WITH A WARM FRONT LIFTING THROUGH THE MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY AND BRINING THE POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORM BACK
INTO THE AREA BY THURSDAY OR THURSDAY NIGHT.

00Z RUNS OF BOTH THE GFS AND ECMWF TAKE THIS WEAKENING LOW ACROSS
THE IL/WI BORDER AREA FRIDAY...WITH A TRAILING COLD FRONT SAGGING
SOUTH AND BECOMING NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS DOWNSTATE IL/IN BY
SATURDAY. SIMILAR TO THIS PAST WEEKEND...DEEP SURFACE LOW PRESSURE
DEVELOPS ACROSS THE PLAINS AS THE WESTERN UPPER TROUGH MOVES
ACROSS THE ROCKIES SATURDAY...WHICH EVENTUALLY LIFTS THE
STATIONARY FRONT BACK NORTH ACROSS OUR AREA SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS
PRESENTS ANOTHER PERIOD FROM THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY WHERE
PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE...ALONG WITH A
SHARP TEMPERATURE GRADIENT ONCE AGAIN AS LAKE-COOLED EAST-
NORTHEAST WINDS AFFECT NORTHERN PARTS OF THE CWA. SUNDAY WOULD BE
THE WARMEST DAY AS THE FRONT LIFTS NORTH...THOUGH DETAILS AND
TIMING OF THESE FEATURES AT THIS DISTANCE IS OF RELATIVELY LOW
CONFIDENCE.

.AVIATION...

//ORD AND MDW CONCERNS...UPDATED 14Z...

* -SHRA LIKELY THIS MORNING WITH LOW CHANCES FOR -TSRA.

* MVFR CEILINGS PSBL AT TIMES INTO EARLY-MID AFTERNOON.

* WEST/SOUTHWEST WINDS/GUSTS INCREASING THROUGH THE FORECAST
  PERIOD.

RODRIGUEZ/BMD

//DISCUSSION...UPDATED 12Z...

PRECIP IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING THE TERMINALS THIS MORNING OUT AHEAD
OF SEVERAL MID LEVEL DISTURBANCES. EXPECT SHOWERS TO BE AT THE
TERMINALS BY THE START OF THE PERIOD...THEN LIKELY INCREASE IN
INTENSITY THROUGH THE MORNING. OVERALL INSTABILITY IS NOT THE
GREATEST...BUT WITH GUIDANCE STILL SHOWING A SLIGHT INCREASE
THROUGH THE MORNING AND WITH THE ARRIVAL OF BETTER FORCING...HAVE
MAINTAINED VCTS IN THE TAFS. CEILINGS WILL LIKELY LOWER TO MVFR
UNDER THE HEAVIER PRECIP BUT WITH LOWER CONFIDENCE AS TO THE
DURATION OF THESE MVFR CEILINGS. THE PRECIP WILL REMAIN FAIRLY
PROGRESSIVE AND EXIT TO THE EAST BY EARLY AFTERNOON...WITH
CEILINGS ALSO IMPROVING. SOUTHERLY WINDS BEHIND A WARM FRONT WILL
INCREASE THROUGH THE DAY AND EVEN INCREASE TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY
MORNING...AS VFR/MVFR CEILINGS DEVELOP ONCE AGAIN LATE.

RODRIGUEZ

//ORD AND MDW CONFIDENCE...UPDATED 14Z...

.MARINE...
432 AM CDT

WINDS WILL LIKELY VARY ACROSS THE LAKE TODAY AS A FRONT ACROSS
CENTRAL ILLINOIS MOVES NORTH THROUGH THE SOUTHERN END OF THE LAKE
THIS MORNING...AND WHILE LOW PRESSURE LIFTS NORTHEAST FROM THE
NORTHERN PLAINS INTO MINNESOTA. THIS WILL ALLOW EAST SOUTHEAST
WINDS TO TURN MORE SOUTHERLY WHILE INCREASING THROUGH THE MORNING.
HAVE ISSUED A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR BOTH THE ILLINOIS AND
INDIANA SHORES AS WINDS INCREASE EARLY THIS MORNING. WITH THE
START TIME THIS MORNING...ITS POSSIBLE THAT WINDS BRIEFLY INCREASE
TO 30KT...BEFORE SETTLING BACK DOWN IN THE 20 TO 25 KT RANGE.
DENSE FOG CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE FOR BOTH THE OPEN WATERS AND
THE NEARSHORE EARLY THIS MORNING...AND HAVE A DENSE FOG ADVISORY
IN PLACE FOR BOTH. HOWEVER...THIS FOG SHOULD EXIT THE NEARSHORE
WATERS THIS MORNING BUT WHILE THE FOG LINGERS OVER THE SOUTHERN
END OF THE LAKE AND SPREADS NORTHWARD TO THE NORTH HALF. PATCHY
DENSE FOG MAY LINGER FOR A PORTION OF THIS EVENING OVER THE OPEN
WATERS...BUT WITH A COLD FRONT PUSHING THROUGH THE LAKE DURING
THIS TIME AND HELPING TO CLEAR IT OUT. WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THIS
FRONT...EXPECT WINDS TO FURTHER INCREASE THROUGH TONIGHT AND INTO
TUESDAY...WITH TO 30 KT WINDS LIKELY.
