AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
257 PM CST FRI JAN 8 2016

.SHORT TERM...
257 PM CST

THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT...

HEADLINE UPDATE...REST OF AFD FOR WINTER WEATHER ON SATURDAY AND
SATURDAY NIGHT WILL BE ISSUED SHORTLY.

WILL BE ISSUING A WINTER STORM WATCH FOR
KANKAKEE...IROQUOIS...LAKE IN...PORTER...NEWTON AND JASPER
COUNTIES FROM LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING. THE
WATCH END TIME IS 18Z SUNDAY/12PM CST/ FOR LAKE IN...PORTER AND
JASPER COUNTIES TO ACCOUNT FOR ONGOING LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS AS
WELL AS STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS CAUSING AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW.

RC

TONIGHT...

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS IN THE NEAR TERM ARE WITH RAIN AND FOG
TRENDS...WITH DENSE FOG BECOMING MORE LIKELY THROUGH THE EVENING.

PRECIP HAS ONCE AGAIN INCREASED IN COVERAGE ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS
THIS AFTERNOON...OUT AHEAD VORT MAX LIFTING NORTH THROUGH THE
REGION. HAVE CAT/LIKELY POPS CONTINUING FOR MOST OF THE CWA THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING AND THEN DIMINISH THEM SIGNICANTLY AFTER
THE 3Z TIME FRAME WITH THE DEPARTURE OF THE BETTER FORCING. WEAK
ASCENT IN A RATHER MOIST ENVIRONMENT SHOULD ALLOW SOME DRIZZLE TO
PERSIST FOR AWHILE BUT DO THINK ANY PRECIP WILL BECOME LESS IN
COVERAGE THROUGH TONIGHT. IF THERE WERE ANY LINGERING PRECIP LATE
TONIGHT/EARLY SATURDAY MORNING...THERE IS THE SLIGHT POSSIBILITY FOR
A RAIN SNOW MIX FOR THE ROCKFORD AREA. HOWEVER...CONDITIONS WILL
MORE THAN LIKELY BE DRY.

AS ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW CONTINUES TO LIFT NORTHEAST...MOISTURE IS
ALSO PUSHING NORTH THROUGH THE CWA. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE A
SETUP FOR DENSE FOG DEVELOPMENT...OR EXPANSION INTO A PORTION OF THE
CWA. THIS HAS RECENTLY BEGUN TO HAPPEN OVER NORTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS
WITH VIS IN THIS MORE DENSE FOG FALLING. HAVE ISSUED A DENSE FOG
ADVISORY FOR AREAS IN NORTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS THROUGH LATE
TONIGHT...BUT DID NOT ISSUE FOR THE REMAINING AREAS IN EAST CENTRAL
ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA AT THIS TIME. FOG IS PRESENT IN THESE
AREAS BUT NOT QUITE DENSE AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER...WILL NEED TO
MONITOR POSSIBLE EXPANSION OF THE DENSE FOG ADVISORY THIS EVENING AS
THE LOW MOVES OVERHEAD. VIS SHOULD IMPROVE LATE TONIGHT AS LOWER
DEPOINT AIR ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS LOW ADVECTS ACROSS THE CWA.

RODRIGUEZ

&&

.LONG TERM...

SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...

332 AM...ACCUMULATING SNOW EXPECTED FROM LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY MORNING...WITH A BAND OF SEVERAL INCHES
POSSIBLE. STRONG/GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS AND BLOWING SNOW ALSO
EXPECTED.

AS THE LOW CONTINUES NORTHEAST SATURDAY...A TRAILING COLD FRONT
WILL SLOWLY SAG SOUTHEAST INTO THE CWA. A SECOND LOW DEVELOPING
OVER THE ARKLATEX REGION LATER TONIGHT WILL LIFT NORTHEAST ALONG
THIS FRONT SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO SATURDAY NIGHT WITH A TRACK
FROM SOUTHERN INDIANA SATURDAY EVENING TO NEAR LAKE ERIE SUNDAY
MORNING. THIS CURRENT TRACK WOULD ALLOW A BAND OF SNOW TO DEVELOP
FROM NEAR ST. LOUIS NORTHEAST INTO THE CHICAGO/NORTHWEST INDIANA
AREA...PERHAPS CENTERED ON THE I-55/I-57 CORRIDORS.

COLDER AIR WILL BE SLOWLY SPREADING INTO THE AREA BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT BUT AS THE PRECIPITATION BEGINS TO FALL...TEMPS SHOULD
CONTINUE TO COOL AND PERHAPS FASTER THAN CURRENTLY INDICATED IN
THE HOURLY GRIDS. THERE COULD BE A SHORT PERIOD OF RAIN OR RAIN/
SNOW MIXED BEFORE PRECIPITATION BECOMES ALL SNOW. HOWEVER...THERE
COULD BE A FEW HOURS OF RAIN INTO THE EVENING ACROSS NORTHWEST
INDIANA...AND CONFIDENCE ON HOW LONG THIS MAY LAST IS LOW. THE
SNOW WILL LIKELY FALL FAIRLY MODERATELY FOR AT LEAST A FEW HOURS
SATURDAY EVENING AND THERE COULD BE A SHORT PERIOD OF HEAVY SNOW
UNDER THE STRONGEST BAND. CURRENT AMOUNTS PLACE A BAND OF 3 TO 5
INCHES ACROSS THE CENTRAL PART OF THE CWA INTO NORTHWEST INDIANA.

THE SNOW WILL BE RATHER WET AT FIRST BUT SHOULD QUICKLY BECOME
DRIER/MORE FLUFFY AS AIR TEMPS CONTINUE TO COOL INTO THE MID/UPPER
20S SATURDAY EVENING. AT THE SAME TIME...NORTHWEST WINDS WILL BE
INCREASING WITH GUSTS PERHAPS INTO THE 30 MPH RANGE. SO WHATEVER
SNOW IS FALLING TOWARD THE BACK HALF OF THE EVENT WILL LIKELY BE
BLOWN AROUND QUITE A BIT AND ADDED AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW. TEMPS
CONTINUE INTO THE MID TEENS WESTERN CWA...LOWER 20S FURTHER EAST
BY SUNDAY MORNING...AND THIS WILL PUSH WIND CHILLS INTO THE LOW
SINGLE DIGITS...POSSIBLY BELOW ZERO BY SUNDAY MORNING. HIGHS
SUNDAY WILL LIKELY BE IN THE MORNING WITH STEADY OR SLOWLY FALLING
TEMPS INTO SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS MAY CONTINUE INTO NORTHWEST INDIANA
SUNDAY MORNING...BUT WINDS SLOWLY TURN MORE TO THE WEST/NORTHWEST
AND THIS WILL LIKELY END ANY ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATION FOR PORTER
COUNTY BY LATE MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON. CMS

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...

A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT
AND WITH WINDS SLOWLY DIMINISHING AND MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES...ALONG
WITH A FRESH SNOW PACK...LOWS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS LOOK ON TRACK.
ITS POSSIBLE LOWS COULD BE LOWER...BUT WITH SOME WEAK WARM AIR
ADVECTION OCCURRING OVERNIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING...NOT SURE HOW
LOW TEMPS WILL DROP BY MONDAY MORNING.

A WEAK DISTURBANCE MOVING ACROSS THE PLAINS MONDAY BEGINS TO
DEEPEN ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY.
THIS MODERATES TEMPS INTO THE LOWER/MID 20S MONDAY WITH A CHANCE
OF SNOW MONDAY AFTERNOON OR PERHAPS MONDAY NIGHT...AHEAD OF
ANOTHER BLAST OF ARCTIC AIR AND STRONG WINDS. DEPENDING ON
TIMING...LOWS MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY MORNING COULD BE QUITE A BIT
LOWER THAN CURRENTLY ADVERTISED TEENS AND THEN LIKELY FALLING
TEMPS DURING THE DAY TUESDAY WITH LOWS IN THE LOW SINGLE DIGITS
WEDNESDAY MORNING AND MOST LIKELY SOME AREAS WILL BE BELOW ZERO
WEDNESDAY MORNING. WITH WIND CHILLS NEAR ZERO MOST OF TUESDAY AND
IN THE -10 TO -15 RANGE TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING.

GFS/ECMWF ARE IN FAIR AGREEMENT THAT THE DEEP CHILL IS SHORT-
LIVED WITH TEMPS REBOUNDING BACK NEAR NORMAL TOWARD THE END OF
NEXT WEEK. CMS

.AVIATION...

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

* CIGS HOLDING LIFR THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...LIFTING TO IFR
  SATURDAY.

* IFR VSBY IN RA/DZ/BR THIS AFTERNOON AND CONTINUING THROUGH
  TONIGHT. BRIEF LIFR VSBY IN FG ALSO POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY WEST OF
  ORD/MDW FOR A TIME THIS AFTERNOON.

* ACCUMULATING SNOW BEGINNING SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH IFR/LIFR
  VSBYS EXPECTED.

KMD

//DISCUSSION...UPDATED 20Z...

THE WINDOW OF 1/2 TO 3/4SM VSBY APPEARS TO BE SHORTER FOR THE
CHICAGO TERMINALS BASED ON UPSTREAM OBS AND A LONGER TIME TO
SATURATE THE LOWEST LEVELS...ESPECIALLY AT THE URBAN TERMINALS
WHERE DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS REMAIN A TOUCH HIGHER. STILL...EXPECT
CIGS TO HOVER IN THE 300-600 FT RANGE FOR SOME TIME NOW.

PREVIOUS DISCUSSION FROM 18Z...

A LEADING SHORTWAVE MOVED NORTHEAST WITH MORE ORGANIZED RAIN
MOVING WITH IT. IN ITS WAKE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTION HAS
INCREASED WITH FLOW TURNING MORE SOUTHERLY...AND WILL ADVECT LOWER
CIGS AND VSBYS ACROSS THE TERMINALS. THERE WILL BE A FEW HOUR
PERIOD HERE AT THE LEADING EDGE OF THE HIGHER DEWPOINT AXIS WHERE
VSBYS AND CIGS WILL DROP TO 200-300 FT WITH VSBYS FROM 1/2SM -
3/4SM. ONCE WINDS SHIFT TOU MORE OF A SOUTHERLY DIRECTION BEHIND
THIS MOISTURE BOUNDARY EXPECT CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE SOMEWHAT BUT
REMAIN IFR VSBY AND LIFR CIGS. LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING
THE UPPER LOW WILL ROTATE THROUGH NE ILLINOIS AND INCREASE THE
SHOWER COVERAGE WHERE CONDITIONS MAY COME A BIT MORE. THEN AS WE
LOSE THE DEEPER MOISTURE POSSIBLY A LOWERING AGAIN AS SOME DZ/BR
LINGER.

WINDS SHIFT TO WESTERLY OVERNIGHT AND THEN NORTHWESTERLY ON
SATURDAY. IN SPITE OF SOME DRIER AIR ADVECTING IN...CIGS SHOULD
NOT IMPROVE TOO MUCH...TO IFR OR MAYBE BRIEFLY MVFR. FOCUS THEN
SHIFTS TO AN AREA OF SNOW THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH SATURDAY
AFTERNOON...AND PEAK SATURDAY EVENING. EXPECT ACCUMULATIONS WITH A
SHARP CUTOFF IN AMOUNTS FROM NW TO SE...HIGHEST SE. IFR/LIFR VSBYS
EXPECTED IN THE HEAVIER SNOW AXIS.

KMD

//ORD AND MDW CONFIDENCE...UPDATED 18Z...

* HIGH IN LIFR CIGS TODAY...MEDIUM ON VLIFR. HIGHER CONFIDENCE AT
  ORD THAN FOR MDW. MEDIUM ON HOW LONG SPECIFIC CIGS LINGER.

* HIGH IN IFR VSBY TODAY...MEDIUM-LOW IN A BRIEF PERIOD OF LIFR
  VSBY THOUGH LOW ON HOW LONG LIFR VSBYS WILL LAST.

* HIGH IN -RA/DZ TRENDS.

  MEDIUM ON TIMING.

KMD

//OUTLOOK FOR ORD/MDW FOR 00Z SUNDAY-12Z FRIDAY...UPDATED 12Z...

SATURDAY NIGHT...ACCUMULATING/BLOWING SNOW. IFR/LIFR LIKELY. GUSTY

.MARINE...

309 AM CST

A WEAKENING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER EASTERN KANSAS THIS MORNING
WILL LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS LAKE MICHIGAN TONIGHT. A SECOND LOW
WILL DEVELOP OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BY SATURDAY
MORNING...AND WILL ALSO LIFT NORTHEAST...DEEPENING AS IT LIFTS
ACROSS THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY SATURDAY EVENING AND REACHING LAKE
ERIE BY SUNDAY MORNING. THE LOW WILL CONTINUE TO DEEPEN AS IT
MOVES INTO SOUTHWEST QUEBEC BY LATE SUNDAY. WINDS OVER LAKE
MICHIGAN WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTH-NORTHWEST SATURDAY NIGHT BEHIND
THE COLD FRONT TRAILING THE FIRST WEAKER LOW...WITH THE GRADIENT
TIGHTENING SIGNIFICANTLY OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY AS THE SECOND MUCH
DEEPER LOW PASSES BY TO THE EAST. THIS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN
NORTH-NORTHWEST 35-40 KT GALES DEVELOPING ACROSS LAKE MICHIGAN
SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. WEAK HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING WILL MOVE
ACROSS THE LAKE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY ALLOWING WINDS TO
DIMINISH.
