Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville, IL
301 PM CST Sat Feb 11 2017

.SHORT TERM...
300 PM CST

Through Sunday...

Temperatures warmed nicely across the area today in spite of the
high clouds over much of the area. Highs have generally been up
into the low 50s across much of the I80 corridor, with slightly
cooler conditions in the upper 40s north...and into the low 60s
far south over Central portions of Illinois. Northeasterly
onshore winds have developed and this is result in temperatures
already falling into the upper 30s across the lake shore areas.
Overall, expect these cooler conditions to gradually work inland
late this afternoon into the early evening as winds continue to
shift north- northeasterly behind a cold frontal boundary.

A light band of precipitation has been ongoing across southern
Wisconsin over the past few hours. However, most of this activity
showing up on the radar is not making it to the ground with high
cloud bases above 8,000 Feet AGL. However, I cant total rule out a
light sprinkle over far northern Illinois late this afternoon.

The main threat for some light rain this evening will be areas
south of interstate 80. A surface low, now over western MO, is
expected to track eastward along the current frontal boundary now
shifting into Central Illinois. As this occurs, a band of rain is
likely to develop over my southern CWA in association with a band
of strengthening 850-700 MB frontogenesis. Overall, this will be
mainly an evening event, with the rain chances gradually ending
overnight.

Farther north, some light rain showers or sprinkles will also be
possible, but any showers north of I-80 look to be very light and
short lived. As a result, I only have a short period tonight with
some slight chance POPs. Most areas north of I-80 are likely to
remain dry tonight into Sunday.

The main story for Sunday will be the develop of strong gusty
northwest winds. A stronger cold front, associated with a clipper
system moving over the Upper Great Lakes region, is expected to
shift across the area Sunday morning. In its wake winds will shift
west-northwesterly and increase. Gusts up to 40 mph are likely
through the afternoon. A colder air mass moving over the area
behind this front will also lead to steady, or slowly falling
temperatures during the mid to late afternoon.

KJB

.LONG TERM...
242 AM CST

Sunday through Friday...

Sunday, a potent vort max is progged to dig from the Canadian
Prairies into the western Great Lakes bringing a reinforcing shot
of cold air. 850mb temps are expected to drop from near 0C 12Z
to -8/-9C mid afternoon. Steep low level lapse rates will develop
during the afternoon in response and expect high temps to occur
late morning or early afternoon with temperatures falling
throughout the remainder of the day eventually bottoming out in
the low to mid 20s Sunday night. Yet another strong vort is
progged to take a similar track across the region Tuesday night.
With a little more depth to the cold air, forecast soundings
indicate a narrow corridor of instability that could potentially
support af few flurries Tuesday evening, but since this occurs
later in the day and strong mid level height rises quickly build
in behind the wave, opted to keep a dry forecast for now. Despite
the brief trend down to seasonable temperatures Wednesday and
Thursday, temperatures are expected to warm well above normal
once again late in the week and through the weekend. ECMWF in fact
is advertising widespread 50s Friday and 60s Saturday with the
GFS roughly 10 degrees cooler, but still unseasonably warm.

.AVIATION...
For the 18Z TAFs...

There are no major weather concerns today. However, the winds
will gradually become northeasterly through the afternoon as a
weak frontal boundary shifts southward over the area. Wind speeds
should remain light (under 10 KT) for much of the afternoon, but
could approach 10 KT by this evening. Some lower MVFR Clouds could
develop over the area later tonight, but confidence on timing is
low at this time. However, it appears likely that much lower CIGs
and VISBYs (IFR) will develop south of the terminals as a storm
system tracks eastward across downstate Illinois. This system also
looks to produce a period of rain tonight south of the terminals.

Any lower CIGs that impact the main terminals tonight will
gradually lift on Sunday, though a low BKN VFR CIG could continue
through the afternoon. Otherwise, the main story on Sunday will be
the strong gusty west-northwesterly winds. Winds should increase
during the mid to late morning, with gusts of 30-35 KT likely by
early afternoon following the passage of a stronger cold front
associated with a clipper system tracking over the Upper Great
Lakes.

.MARINE...
250 AM CST

Several periods of gales remain possible, both later Sunday and
again mid week. A fairly consistent signal in the models for gale
force northwesterly winds has increased confidence and we have
issued a gale watch for Sunday afternoon/evening in wake of
departing low pressure to the southeast of Lake Michigan and with
a quick moving cold front. The lowest confidence is the western
shores of northern Lake Michigan and the far southern tip of the
lake, though there is good aligment of the low level winds and
strong winds not to far off the surface.

Strong high pressure across the plains will shift to the south of
the lake, with a decent low near Hudson Bay, and this will maintain
breezy south-southwest winds Monday into early Tuesday. A second
potent cold front will pass over the lake in wake of this low
Tuesday/Tuesday night as the low digs southeast to the eastern Great
Lakes while still slightly strengthening. The pressure gradient
change with this front is a bit weaker than the Sunday front, so
confidence on gales is still only low-medium at this point, but
still one period to watch.

High pressure will cross the lake behind this front, and then a
period of southwesterly winds will set up for the latter half of the
coming week.
