AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE, IL
1230 AM CDT WED MAR 23 2016

.UPDATE...
1015 PM CDT

LATE UPDATE ON A TRICKY FORECAST INTO TOMORROW. OBSERVED 00Z
SOUNDINGS SHOWED VERY DRY AIRMASS IN PLACE ALOFT OVER THE
AREA...SO LOWERED POPS SIGNIFICANTLY OVERNIGHT TO SLOWLY COME UP
TO SLIGHT CHANCE/LOW CHANCE NORTH OF I-80 PRIOR TO
DAYBREAK...WHICH IS LIKELY STILL TOO HIGH FOR MOST AREAS. SUSPECT
THAT POPS WILL BE ABLE TO BE LOWERED AS WELL UNTIL WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON PER LATEST GUIDANCE...INCLUDING 00Z NAM. AREAS SOUTH OF
THE FRONT COULD REMAIN DRY FOR THE ENTIRE DAYLIGHT PERIOD. MARINE
AIRMASS NORTH OF STATIONARY FRONT THAT WILL SET UP JUST SOUTH OF
I-80 COULD ENABLE SOME PATCHY FOG TO DEVELOP LATE...AND POSSIBLY
LOCALLY DENSE TOWARD THE FAR NORTHEAST IL SHORE...WITH THIS
SCENARIO POSSIBLY LINGERING THROUGH THE DAY WITH NOT MUCH CHANGE
SYNOPTICALLY. SLOWED MENTION OF FOG IN THE HOURLY GRIDS TO THE
PREDAWN HOURS GIVEN OBSERVATIONAL TRENDS. OVERALL TAILORED GRIDS
TO FAVOR STATIONARY FRONT POSITION A BIT SOUTH OF PREVIOUS
FORECAST...WHICH WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES COOLER A BIT SOUTH OF
PREVIOUS FORECAST UNTIL FRONT TRIES TO LIFT NORTH WEDNESDAY
EVENING WITH MAIN SYSTEM LIFTING NORTHEAST.

RC

&&

.SHORT TERM...
221 PM CDT

THROUGH TONIGHT...

DESPITE CLOUDY SKIES...TEMPERATURES HAVE RISEN INTO THE 60S ACROSS
VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE REGION. GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS DIMINISH THIS
EVENING AND THE COLD FRONT OVER CENTRAL LAKE MICHIGAN SINKS SOUTH.
AT THE SAME TIME THE LOW CURRENTLY OVER COLORADO STRENGTHENS AND
MOVES OVER KANSAS.

THERE IS STILL A DECENT AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY REGARDING HOW FAR SOUTH
THE FRONT WILL SINK BY DAWN.  THINKING THE FRONT WILL DIP INTO
NORTHERN IL AFTER MIDNIGHT AND BE AROUND THE I-88 CORRIDOR BY DAWN.
WHILE THE WHOLE AREA WILL BE CLOUDY OVERNIGHT...OTHER CONDITIONS
WILL VARY ALONG THE FRONT. AREAS NORTH OF THE FRONT WILL HAVE LOWS
IN THE LOW 40S TO THE UPPER 30S ALONG THE IL/WI STATE LINE ALONG
WITH NORTHEAST WINDS TO 15 MPH.  WARMER AIR AND SOUTH WINDS WILL LIE
SOUTH OF THE FRONT...SO CONDITIONS MAY DIFFER FROM THE CURRENT
FORECAST DEPENDING ON WHERE THE FRONT ENDS UP.

FOR RAIN...FORECAST SOUNDINGS ALONG THE IL/WI STATE LINE FEATURE
SATURATION THROUGH THE FREEZING LEVEL AND A DECENT AMOUNT OF OMEGA.
HAVE HIGH CONFIDENCE IN RAIN/DRIZZLE NORTH OF THE FRONT/I-88
ESPECIALLY AFTER 4AM CDT.  SOUNDINGS FURTHER SOUTH SATURATE THROUGH
THE EARLY MORNING HOURS WITH MINOR OMEGA VALUES SLOWLY INCREASING.
CAPPED POPS TO THE CHANCE RANGE SOUTH OF THE STATE LINE DUE TO A
LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN FORCING AND THE FRONTS LOCATION.

ALSO EXPECTING FOG TO FORM OVERNIGHT AS A SURFACE INVERSION FORMS.
GUIDANCE FEATURES FOG FORMING OVER THE SOUTHERN END OF THE LAKE AND
THINKING SOME OF THE FOG WILL MOVE OVER LAND WITH THE EAST WINDS.
THE DRIZZLE...RAIN...AND MOIST CONDITIONS SHOULD ALSO RESULT IN FOG.
NOT EXPECTING DENSE FOG AT THIS TIME.

JEE

&&

.LONG TERM...
234 PM CDT

WEDNESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...

STRONG LAKE ENHANCED FRONT WILL LIKELY BISECT THE AREA WED
AFTERNOON...PROBABLY SETTING UP CLOSE TO I-80 AND LIKELY A BIT
FARTHER SOUTH THAN GUIDANCE SUGGESTS NEAR LAKE MICHIGAN. NORTH OF
THE FRONT BRISK EAST TO NORTHEAST WINDS OFF THE CHILLY LAKE WILL
RESULT IN A VERY STRONG AND SHALLOW INVERSION...BENEATH WHICH
MOISTURE SHOULD BE TRAPPED RESULTING IN A LOW OVERCAST. AS
DEWPOINTS SOUTH OF THE FRONT CLIMB INTO THE 40S TO LOWER 50S...THE
MARINE LAYER DISPLACING THAT MOIST AIR COULD RESULT IN LOCALLY
DENSE FOG OVER THE LAKE BLEEDING INLAND WEDNESDAY INTO WED NIGHT
NORTH OF THE FRONT. HIGHS TOMORROW NORTH OF THE FRONT SHOULD BE IN
THE 40S...THOUGH POSSIBLY HOLDING IN THE UPPER 30S NEAR THE NE IL
LAKEFRONT RANGING INTO THE 60S SOUTH OF THE FRONT.

GUIDANCE ALL HAS LIGHT PRECIPITATION NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY
WEDNESDAY...THOUGH FORECAST SOUNDINGS REALLY SUPPORT MORE OF A
DRIZZLE OR PERHAPS LIGHT RAIN WITH SIGNIFICANT DRY LAYER ABOVE THE
THICK STRATUS DECK. STEEP LAPSE RATES DO EXIST ABOVE THE FRONTAL
INVERSION...HOWEVER BETTER LARGE SCALE FORCING LOOKS TO SET UP TO
OUR NORTH OVER WI. SOUTH OF THE FRONT PRECIP CHANCES LOOK SMALL
AND HAVE LOWERED POPS SOME THOUGH PROBABLY NOT ENOUGH.

STRONG FRONT MAY TRY TO LIFT NORTH SOME WEDNESDAY NIGHT BATTLING
AGAINST THE COLD LAKE AS SURFACE LOW RIDES THE FRONT INTO NORTHERN
ILLINOIS. AGAIN SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE WARM SECTOR WITH
FOG...LIGHT RAIN AND DRIZZLE NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY. SHOULD SEE AN
UPTICK IN PRECIP NORTH OF THE FRONT AS THE SHORTWAVE APPROACHES
THE REGION OVERNIGHT WITH SOME CHANCE OF A THUNDERSTORM WEDNESDAY
NIGHT OR PERHAPS EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.

STRONG AND GUSTY NORTHERLY WINDS WILL DEVELOP ON THE BACKSIDE OF
THE SYSTEM THURSDAY USHERING IN COLDER AIR TO AREAS THAT MADE IT
INTO THE WARM SECTOR...AND PROVIDING A CONTINUATION OF CHILLY
WEATHER ELSEWHERE. RAIN SHOULD GRADUALLY TAPER OFF LATER IN THE
AFTERNOON OR EVENING...POSSIBLY MIXING WITH OR CHANGING TO SOME
WET SNOW BEFORE ENDING. CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT A BIT OF SLUSHY
ACCUMULATION ON GRASSY SURFACES...BUT CHANCES LOOK LOW AND KEPT
ACCUMS OUT OF THE GRIDS FOR NOW.

PROGRESSIVE PATTERN EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD WITH NEXT SYSTEM
ALREADY RESULTING IN WARM AIR ADVECTION AND RETURN TO SOUTHERLY
FLOW FRIDAY. GFS AND ECMWF VARY IN THEIR HANDLING OF THE NEXT
TROUGH AND HOW MUCH SHORTWAVE ENERGY HANGS BACK IN THE BASE OF THE
TROUGH WITH FAIRLY SUBSTANTIAL DIFFERENCES BY EARLY NEXT WEEK
LEADING TO LOWER THAN AVG FORECAST CONFIDENCE. DOES APPEAR TO BE
SOME AGREEMENT IN THE BEST CHANCE OF SOME RAIN THIS WEEKEND BEING
IN SATURDAY NIGHT OR SUNDAY TIME FRAME. RAIN CHANCES WOULD
CONTINUE INTO NEXT WEEK IF ECMWF SOLUTION PANS OUT WITH GFS MORE
PROGRESSIVE AND MOVING THE TROUGH OUT QUICKER. GIVEN THE LOW
CONFIDENCE MAINTAINED THE CHANCE POPS FROM THE BLENDED MODEL
GUIDANCE.

IZZI

&&

.AVIATION...
FOR THE 06Z TAFS...

CHALLENGING FORECAST ON TAP WITH A HIGH DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY ON
WINDS...CIGS...AND PRECIP TIMING. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS DRAPED
OVER THE REGION LATE THIS EVENING...CURRENTLY SITTING BETWEEN MDW
AND GYY AT 05Z. BOUNDARY SHOULD CONTINUE TO SLOWLY SLIDE SOUTH
OVERNIGHT WITH NORTHEASTERLY WINDS AT THE TERMINALS. LOW PRESSURE
WILL ADVANCE EASTWARD ACROSS THE PLAINS OVERNIGHT WITH
PRECIPITATION EXPANDING ALONG THE STATIONARY FRONT EITHER
OVERNIGHT OR AT SOME POINT DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY. MODELS HAVE
VERY QUITE A WIDE RANGE IN VARIANCE ON WHEN PRECIPITATION WILL
START WITH SOME SUGGESTING IT SHOULD ALREADY BE RAINING WHILE
OTHERS HOLD OFF WELL INTO THE AFTERNOON WEDNESDAY. GIVEN CURRENT
CONDITIONS ON RADAR WITH ONLY WEAK HIGH-BASED ECHOES ACROSS
NORTHERN IOWA INTO SOUTHERN WISCONSIN...LEANING TOWARDS SOME OF
THE LATER TIMING FOR PRECIP ARRIVAL.

LOW CIGS ARE ALSO EXPECTED...AND ARE ALREADY EXPANDING SOUTHWARD
ACROSS FAR SOUTHEASTERN WISCONSIN INTO FAR NORTHEAST ILLINOIS.
ONCE AGAIN MODELS HAVE CONSIDERABLE SPREAD THOUGH WITH SOME MODELS
HONING IN ON THE 12-15Z TIMEFRAME WHILE THE CONSENSUS SEEMS TO BE
IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON. WILL ERR SLOWER/LATER WHICH SEEMS TO BE
THE THEME SO FAR FOR THIS EVENT...BUT WILL PROBABLY KEEP A CLOSE
EYE ON PWK OB OVERNIGHT.

FINALLY WINDS WILL ALSO BE A CHALLENGE WITH THE BOUNDARY LINGERING
OVER THE CHICAGO METRO AREA THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY TOMORROW.
NORTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL OCCUR NORTH OF THE FRONT WITH SOUTHERLY
FLOW TO THE SOUTH. WE SHOULD GENERALLY BE ON THE COLD SIDE OF THE
BOUNDARY WITH NORTHEAST FLOW...HOWEVER WITH THE APPROACH OF THE LOW
TOMORROW...THE BOUNDARY IS PROGGED TO INCH BACK NORTHWARD. WITH
REINFORCING COLD AIR OFF THE LAKE THAT WILL SLOW ANY NORTHWARD
PROGRESS OF THE FRONT...HAVE AT LEAST MODERATE CONFIDENCE IN WINDS
STAYING NORTHEASTERLY FOR ORD...WITH CONFIDENCE DIMINISHING SLIGHTLY
FOR MDW AND ESPECIALLY GYY WHICH SEVERAL MODELS DO SHOW WILL TURN
SOUTH OR SOUTHEASTERLY FOR A WHILE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON EVENING.

BMD

&&

.MARINE...
234 PM CDT

FAIRLY ACTIVE PERIOD COMING UP ON THE LAKE. DEEPENING LOW OVER THE
PLAINS SHOULD RESULT IN STRENGTHENING EASTERLY FLOW OVER ALL BUT
FAR SOUTHERN TIP OF THE LAKE WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT.
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS BETTER CHANCE OF GALES WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL
WEDNESDAY NIGHT NOW NORTHERN OPEN LAKE SO HAVE DELAYED START TIME
OF THE GALE WATCH A BIT. AS THE SYSTEM DEPARTS A PERIOD OF STRONG
COLD AIR ADVECTION AND TIGHT GRADIENT WOULD SUPPORT PERIOD OF
NORTHERLY GALES...PERHAPS HIGH END GALES THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY
