AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
315 PM CDT TUE AUG 18 2015

.SHORT TERM...
212 PM CDT

THROUGH WEDNESDAY

VERY DYNAMIC SYSTEM FOR MID AUGUST IS MOVING THROUGH THE CENTRAL
PLAINS AND INTO THE MIDWEST THIS AFTERNOON...AND WILL BRING THE
CHANCE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. THE MAIN HAZARDS WOULD BE DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED
TORNADOES...WITH SEVERE HAIL NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION.

LOCALLY...DESTABILIZATION HAS BEEN SLOWER GOING DUE TO EXTENSIVE LOW
TO MID LEVEL CLOUD COVER OVER MUCH OF NORTHEAST ILLINOIS...BUT SLOW
DESTABILIZATION DOES CONTINUE...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND WEST OF THE
INTERSTATE 39 CORRIDOR...WHERE A TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT THROUGH
MID EVENING... AND JUST TO THE SOUTH OF LIVINGSTON/FORD/IROQUOIS
COUNTIES WHERE A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS
EVENING. WEAKER DESTABILIZATION FARTHER NORTH HAS LED TO A QUICK
DECAY OF STORMS AS THEY MOVE NORTHWARD...BUT MODEL GUIDANCE DOES
CONTINUE TO SUGGEST WEAK TO MODEST DESTABILIZATION WILL CONTINUE TO
SPREAD NORTHWARD INTO NORTHERN ILLINOIS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS. EXPECT THAT AS THIS OCCURS...SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS
AND STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO CREEP NORTHWARD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
SHEAR IS STILL WEAK ACROSS THE AREA PER SPC MESOANALYSIS AND KLOT
VWP...SO FEEL THE SEVERE THREAT IN THE NEAR TERM IS SMALL.

SHORT TERM GUIDANCE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN A LEAD WAVE IN CENTRAL
MO/IA OUT AHEAD OF THE MAIN LOW MOVING INTO NW AND NC
ILLINOIS...DRIVING A BAND OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE
AREA. HIGHEST CONFIDENCE IN COVERAGE IS IN ILLINOIS...WITH
POTENTIALLY LOWER COVERAGE IN EASTERN ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST
INDIANA. LOW AND MID LEVEL SHEAR WILL INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY AHEAD
OF THE LINE OF STORMS. AND WHILE INSTABILITY WILL NOT BE SUPER
HIGH...IT WILL BE ENOUGH TO SUGGEST A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM RISK
EXISTS WITH THIS LINE. A TORNADO WATCH WAS ISSUED FOR NORTH CENTRAL
ILLINOIS AND ALONG THE INTERSTATE 39 CORRIDOR DUE TO THE STRONG LOW
LEVEL WIND SHEAR AND LOCALIZED BACKING OF SURFACE WINDS CLOSER TO
THE SURFACE LOW OUT WEST THAT BRINGS AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT.
DAMAGING WINDS ARE THE MAIN HAZARD...BUT ANY SUPERCELLULAR
DEVELOPMENT WOULD ALSO BRING A HAIL THREAT...WITH SUPERCELLS
POSSIBLE GIVEN THE INCREASED DEEP LAYER SHEAR.

AFTER THIS LEAD WAVE MOVES THROUGH THIS EVENING...THERE WILL LIKELY
BE AT LEAST A SHORT LULL IN THE ACTIVITY. SOME UNCERTAINTY EXISTS TO
HOW WIDESPREAD ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE
OVERNIGHT...BUT THE MAIN UPPER LOW WILL BE INCHING CLOSER TO THE
AREA...AND ADDITIONAL ENERGY WILL SPREAD OUT AHEAD OF IT TONIGHT.
THE STRONGER FORCING REMAINS TIED TO THE LOW...BUT MOISTURE
TRANSPORT REMAINS FOCUSED INTO THE AREA TO SUGGEST AT LEAST SOME
SCATTERED ACTIVITY OVERNIGHT.

ON TUESDAY...THE OCCLUDED FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM WILL
SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA. IT WILL BE A BREEZY TO WINDY DAY.. THE
UPPER LOW APPROACHES...AND A STRENGTHENING UPPER LEVEL JET WILL
SUPPORT SOME LOWER TOPPED SHOWERS/ISOLATED STORMS IN THE
MORNING AREA-WIDE... THEN INSTABILITY WILL BUILD AHEAD OF THE
FRONT IN THE AFTERNOON IN NORTHWEST INDIANA WHERE A MARGINAL RISK
FOR SEVERE WEATHER EXISTS TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM...
309 PM CDT

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...

BEGINNING OF THE PERIOD WEDNESDAY EVENING WILL SEE EASTWARD
MOVING FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXITING TO THE EAST OF THE CWA...WHILE
SURFACE LOW CONTINUES TO LIFT NORTH THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES.
ALTHOUGH THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL ALSO BE WELL EAST OF THE
AREA...IT DOES APPEAR THAT ADDITIONAL SHOWER ACTIVITY WILL BE
POSSIBLE AT LEAST THROUGH THE EVENING TIME FRAME MAINLY FOR EAST
CENTRAL ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA. THIS IS DUE TO AN
ADDITIONAL STRONGER VORT LOBE ANTICIPATED TO LIFT NORTHEAST OUT
AHEAD OF THE LARGE UPPER LEVEL CENTER OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST. DID
INCREASE POPS DURING THE EVENING AND EVEN HAVE SOME LINGERING
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS OVER NORTHWEST INDIANA BEYOND MIDNIGHT...AS
THIS PRECIP MAY BE SLOW TO EXIT.

DRIER AIR EXPECTED TO CONTINUE PUSHING OVER THE AREA THURSDAY
INTO THURSDAY NIGHT AND WHILE SUNNIER/DRY CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED...RELATIVELY COOLER AIRMASS STILL IN PLACE WILL ONLY
ALLOW TEMPS TO RISE TO THE MID TO UPPER 70S. COOLER NIGHTS WILL
ALSO BE OBSERVED...WITH SOME LOCATIONS LOWERING TO THE LOWER 50S.

FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...

DRY AND SUNNY CONDITIONS LOOK TO CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY...WHILE
BACKING LOW/MID LEVEL WINDS WILL ALLOW FOR A PERIOD OF WAA. THIS
SHOULD HELP TEMPS REBOUND BACK INTO THE LOWER 80S ON FRIDAY...WITH
THIS WARM AND DRY TREND TO CONTINUE INTO SATURDAY. LATEST GUIDANCE
HAS SLOWED THE ARRIVAL OF THE NEXT SYSTEM THIS WEEKEND WITH
CONDITIONS BEGINNING TO APPEAR ON THE DRY SIDE EVEN INTO SATURDAY
NIGHT. HOWEVER...WITH SOME SLIGHT DIFFERENCE IN TIMING...SLIGHT
CHANCE TO CHANCE POPS REMAIN SATURDAY NIGHT MAINLY FOR NORTHERN
ILLINOIS...BUT WITH AN ARRIVAL OF SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
LIKELY NOT ARRIVING UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT. SUNDAY APPEARS TO BE THE
MORE ACTIVE DAY THIS WEEKEND AND EVEN INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK...AS
SURFACE LOW/FRONT ARE EXPECTED TO PUSH EAST ACROSS THE AREA DURING
THIS TIME. TOO EARLY TO TELL HOW INTENSE THE STORMS COULD BE GIVEN
SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH REGARD TO TIMING OF FROPA AND POTENTIAL
PRECIP WHICH COULD ACT TO LIMIT HOW UNSTABLE THE AREA DOES GET.
HOWEVER...WILL NEED TO MONITOR THIS TIME FRAME FOR POSSIBLE STRONG
TO SEVERE STORMS...AS MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL LIKELY
INCREASE OUT AHEAD OF THIS SYSTEM/DECENT FORCING.

.AVIATION...

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

* THUNDERSTORM CHANCES INCREASING THROUGH THE DAY...WITH THE BEST
  CHANCES EARLY THIS EVENING.

* CHANCE OF A PERIOD OF LOW MVFR CIGS EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING.

KJB

//DISCUSSION...UPDATED 18Z...

THE MAIN AVIATION WEATHER CONCERN DURING THE PERIOD WILL BE THE
THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE AIRFIELDS...ESPECIALLY EARLY THIS
EVENING.

A MOIST LOWER LEVEL AIRMASS HAS ALLOWED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SOME
MVFR BASED STRATOCUMULUS ACROSS THE AREA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.
HOWEVER...THE THUNDERSTORM THREAT OVER THE AREA APPEARS RATHER LOW
FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THUNDERSTORMS DO LOOK TO DEVELOP TO
OUR WEST AND SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...AND THESE STORMS
WOULD THEN LIKELY SHIFT EASTWARD OVER NORTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING (23-03 UTC)...THEN ACROSS THE
EASTERN TERMINALS DURING THE EARLY EVENING HOURS (1-4 UTC). A PERIOD
OF HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS LOOK TO ACCOMPANY THESE STORMS.

FOLLOWING THIS LINE OF STORMS THIS EVENING...IT APPEARS THINGS WILL
QUIET DOWN OVER THE AREA. HOWEVER...THERE IS STILL A SMALL THREAT OF
SOME ADDITIONAL WIDELY SCATTERED SHOWERS OR STORMS OVERNIGHT...BUT
CONFIDENCE ON THIS IS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE A MENTION IN THE LATEST TAF
FORECAST. THE COLD FRONT WILL SHIFT ACROSS THE AREA EARLY WEDNESDAY
MORNING. WEST-SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL BECOME A BIT GUSTY DURING THE
DAY IN THE WAKE OF THIS FRONT. THERE IS ALSO A THREAT OF A PERIOD OF
LOWER MVFR CIGS EARLY IN THE MORNING.

KJB

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

* MEDIUM WITH WIND TRENDS.
* MEDIUM WITH TSRA/SHRA TIMING THIS EVENING.
* LOW WITH CIG/VSBY TRENDS EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING.

//OUTLOOK FOR ORD/MDW FOR 00Z THURSDAY-12Z TUESDAY...UPDATED 12Z...

.MARINE...
309 PM CDT

FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS SITUATED ACROSS THE CENTRAL PART OF THE
LAKE...WHILE STRONGER SURFACE LOW CONTINUES TO SLOWLY LIFT
NORTH/NORTHEAST. THIS HAS ALLOWED FOR A CONTINUED VARYING WIND
FIELD ACROSS THE ENTIRE LAKE...WHILE EAST NORTHEAST WINDS ARE
BEING OBSERVED OVER THE NORTH HALF AND EAST SOUTHEAST WINDS ARE
OCCURRING ACROSS THE SOUTH HALF. THIS VARIABILITY WILL LIKELY
CHANGE TONIGHT AS THIS SURFACE LOW CONTINUES TO LIFT NORTH. EXPECT
A TREND TOWARDS SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WINDS FOR THE ENTIRE LAKE
TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING WHILE SPEEDS INCREASE TO 30 KT.
SOUTHERLY WINDS TO 30 KT WILL PREVAIL ON WEDNESDAY AND THEN BECOME
MORE SOUTHWEST LATE WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...BEFORE TURNING
MORE WESTERLY ON THURSDAY. THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE PERIOD...WINDS
TO 30 KT WILL BE LIKELY. HAVE NOT INCLUDED ANY MENTION OF GALES IN
THE FORECAST...BUT WILL NEED TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR AT LEAST A
PERIOD OF GALE FORCE GUSTS.
