Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville, IL
256 AM CDT SAT AUG 20 2016

.SHORT TERM...
254 AM CDT

Through tonight...

The main forecast concerns continue to focus on the timing of
shower and thunderstorm activity today as a very dynamic storm
system impacts the Great Lakes region.

A broad and loosely organized frontal trough of low pressure is
in place over the Mississippi Valley, northeastward across the
upper Great Lakes. This will change today, however, as a rather
stout mid-level PV anomaly, currently over the Dakotas shifts
east-northeastward towards the upper Great Lakes later today.
This will lead to rapid intensification to the surface frontal
trough, ultimately resulting in a sub 998 MB low tonight over far
southern Ontario. As this surface low organizes today, expect an
attendant cold front to be driven eastward over northern Illinois
and northwestern Indiana into this afternoon.

Thus far overnight the storms have remained to our north and west.
The storms currently moving into western Illinois are being
driven by a second mid-level disturbance, which is currently
pushing over northern Missouri, per the latest water vapor
imagery. This disturbance is expected to shift northeastward
across northern Illinois through the morning, and this will allow
these storms to continue eastward over the area through mid to
late morning.

The question then becomes how much thunderstorm activity will
develop in the wake of this first period of storms? The cold front
is expected to shift into northeastern Illinois by early to mid
afternoon, so it appears the best window for the second round of
SCT storms will be from around noon through 3 PM. While not much
isolation is expected following this mornings activity, the
decent dynamics with the developing synoptic system may end up
compensating for the modest instability and allowing for at least
some SCT storms developing ahead of the front. This second area of
storms will be most favored over eastern Illinois and Northwest
Indiana. While some strong storms cannot be ruled out, it appears
that deep layer shear of 20-25 KT will result in less organized
storms and hence less of an overall severe threat. However, a few
isolated strong storms could produce some marginally severe wind
gusts. Heavy rainfall will can also be expected with these storms,
though the fast movement to the storms should limit overall
rainfall amounts.

The storms should end area-wide by late afternoon or early this
evening.

.LONG TERM...
317 PM CDT

Saturday through Friday...

Guidance is much more consistent with what will happen Saturday. A
surface low will form along the cold front over Lake Michigan. It
will rapidly deepen as it shifts northeast.  Expecting showers and
storms to be west of I-55 at dawn Saturday, but they will rapidly
spread east by noon.  Showers and storms will continue through
Saturday afternoon. Forcing along the cold front increases along the
front from late morning through the afternoon as well. CAPE values
continue to look favorable for strong storms, but shear remains
marginal at best. The entire region is under a marginal risk for
severe storms so thinking a few storms may produce strong to
damaging winds. PWATs will be around 2 inches and storm should be
moving quickly east. However, given that recent storms have been
efficient rain producers and rainfall is expected all day, will have
to monitor rainfall rates and rivers for potential flooding.
Localized heavy rain is possible.

The rapidly deepening low will also result in gusty southwest winds.
Wind gusts outside of storms could reach 25-30 MPH.

Sunday will be cooler and drier with only a few isolated, light rain
showers possible north of a Rockford to Rensselaer, IN line.  High
pressure then spreads over the region leading to a much needed dry
period.  High temps slowly increase early next week with highs back
in the 80s by Tuesday.

The next chance of showers and storms arrives mid to late next week.
The first wave is along an upper level vorticity streamer Wednesday
afternoon and evening. A cold front moves through Thursday bringing
additional storms.

.AVIATION...
For the 06Z TAFs...

Light gradient is expected to persist through 12z with a wind from
the south/southeast around 5-8kt, and some patchy fog
west/southwest of the TAF sites. Well southwest of the TAF sites
was a ragged line of showers/thunderstorms that was lifting
northeast. Current timing would bring the initial area of
precipitation into RFD around 12-13z and ORD/MDW around 14z, with
a the best timing for showers/thunderstorms between 17-20z. The
system does look to become more progressive and could bring an end
to the convection a little earlier then the 20z timing. Winds will
increase from the southwest and become gusty to 20-24kt at times
then shifting to the west and eventually northwest later this
afternoon through this evening. Cloud bases will lower later this
afternoon to around 2500-3000ft agl, then with much drier air
filtering in behind the frontal boundary clouds will thin and
result in minimal cloud cover overnight.

.MARINE...
317 PM CDT

Headlines: Guidance shows much more consistency regarding the low
Saturday into Sunday. As such, have enough confidence to issue a
gale watch for the northern third of the lake.  Gusty southwest
winds will also create hazardous conditions for small craft Saturday
afternoon. Winds become west behind the front and remain hazardous
into Sunday morning.

Low pressure is over Hudson Bay this afternoon, and its cold front
extends southwest through the plains.  Expecting breezy south to
southwest winds over the southern half of the lake. A surface low
forms over the lake along the cold front Saturday afternoon. As
such, winds will become east over the northern third of the lake.
The low deepens rapidly as it shifts northeast, and winds become
west and rapidly increase to around 30 KT Saturday evening/night.
Gale force gusts are expected over the northern end of the lake.
High pressure spreads over the mid Mississippi region Sunday evening
with winds weakening.  Winds back to southwest Monday night as the
high shifts east. Winds will increase to 20-30 KT Tuesday as a low
pressure system passes over southern Canada and reaches Ontario. The
low passes north of the lake, but its cold front shifts over the
lake Thursday.
