Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville, IL
947 PM CDT Wed May 17 2017

.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
945 PM CDT

The broken line of storms across northwest Illinois moving into
north central Illinois has shown a slight weakening over the past
hour, however, continued scattered stronger cores and punches of
wind continue via the DVN radar. The lack of a well-organized
QLCS per recent trends should help to keep the severe wind threat
scattered, with more of a widespread 40-50 mph gusts per
observations in northwest Illinois. Continue to monitor transient
low-level rotation in supercells and LCLs/LFCs have lowered per
RAP analysis and observations. With gusty southerly winds
continuing to indicate a mixed boundary and potentially effective
stout low-level shear, the isolated tornado threat does continue
in the watch area. Will monitor if any brief expansion/extension
to the watch is needed beyond 11 pm into McHenry and Kane
Counties.

.SHORT TERM...
241 PM CDT

Through Thursday...

A deep low lifting across the mid-Missouri Valley this afternoon
is resulting in very windy and unsettled weather across portions
of the midwest. Main forecast challenge in the near term will be
dealing with thunderstorm chances and timing later this afternoon
and evening. Early this afternoon, water vapor imagery reveals an
upper low rotating over northeastern KS while a lead wave is
lifting across far NE MO and SE IA. Mid level echoes are noted on
radar across portions of west central Illinois in advance of this
lead disturbance and think this should be the area to keep an eye
on for any isolated to widely scattered thunderstorm development.
Special 18Z raob from DVN shows moderately strong instability is
in place but still capped, and warmer 700mb temps farther east of
around 9- 10C will be hard to overcome late this afternoon. Still
several convective allowing models indicate some thunderstorms may
be able to overcome the cap this afternoon and strong deep layer
shear of 40- 50kt will support a threat for strong to severe
thunderstorms, including discrete supercells. Veered surface flow
and high LCLs will be limiting factors as far as any tornado
threat is concerned this afternoon, but large hail and damaging
winds remain a concern.

Main upper low is progged to lift into SW WI mid to late this
evening with the mid level thermal ridge getting shunted farther
east helping to weaken convective inhibition. Corridor of better
forcing is expected to be primarily over WI but do expect some
broad ascent over northern Illinois which will result in a
second window of potential thunderstorms this evening, primarily
north of a Peru to Chicago line. Lower LCL heights will be less of
a limiting factor for tornadoes this evening and modest pressure
falls over the area may help to back surface flow. Strong low
level helicity and high STP values are progged to be in place over
northern Illinois this evening and recent runs of the WRF and
experimental HRRR show swaths of higher updraft helicity
indicative of supercellular storms. Southern extent of the
convective activity remains a big question mark this evening, but
any thunderstorms will need to be closely watched with an overall
decent setup for severe thunderstorms.

Low pressure will move east across the Great Lakes on Thursday
with a trailing cold front settling south across the local CWA.
Lack of any upper level support with broad mid level height rises
behind the departing upper wave and only modest low level ascent
in association with convergence along the cold front will be
limiting factors on thunderstorm development tomorrow. That said,
moderately strong instability is once again expected to develop
ahead of the front tomorrow afternoon with a much weaker cap in
place. Deep layer shear will be marginal, but strong enough to
support a severe weather threat for any thunderstorms that are
able to form. Temperatures out ahead of the front will warm into
the low to mid 80s once again while farther north temperatures
will top out in the 70s.

.LONG TERM...
226 PM CDT

Thursday night through Wednesday...

For the longer term forecast period, main concern will be shra/tsra
timing and coverage associated with the next the series of Northwest
Pacific coast systems to impact the region.

Little change to the current forecast for the Thursday night through
Friday night with Friday being a relatively cool day following the
passage of a cold front Thursday night.  There may be a few
lingering showers Thursday night following the fropa, but expect the
night to generally be dry.  PoPs will be in the increase again
during the day on Friday as the system begins to lift newd out of
the south high plains.  By Friday morning, the main sfc low should
be over wrn Kansas with an associated warm front extending east
through srn Missouri and into the Ohio Valley.  There is some
complication to the timing of the system lifting out of the south
high plains as a srn stream shortwave interacts with the Pacific-
origin system, leading to more stationary deepening of the sfc low,
and delaying the system ejecting newd.  There is a fair amount of
model spread with the finer scale details of this system, so
confidence in timing of onset of pcpn is only moderate at best.
Confidence is relatively high in coverage and the potential for
shra/tsra, it is just lower for timing.  The general trend is for
the sfc low to lift northeast into the upper Mississippi Valley by
Saturday evening, with the warm front lifting north across the area
at some point during the day.  So, in addition to increasing PoPs
through the day, temperatures should also be on an upward trend
following the relatively cool Friday.  If the warm front can lift
north of the CWA early enough in the day, temperatures should have
no problem rebounding back into the upper 70s to lower 80s.  The
main point of concern for temps on Saturday will be along the nern
Illinois lakefront, where there is a chance for sely winds to bring
some cooler lake cooled air inland, and temps from downtown Chicago
and to the north may only reach into the 60s.  However, even with
some differences in the finer scale details in the forecast for this
system, the general trend remains consistent, with periods of
showers and thunderstorms likely for early Saturday morning through
late Saturday night and possibly lingering into early Sunday morning.

For the remainder of Sunday and into mid week, the ECMWF and GFS are
relatively consistent in the trends for the larger scale pattern,
with the old upper low tracking north of the Great Lakes and a nrn
stream shortwave dropping into the nrn plains.  The evolution of the
long wave pattern looks to be slowly progressive with broad, flat
ridging over the middle/lower Mississippi Valley/Ohio Valley as the
nrn stream system slowly drops into the upper Mississippi Valley by
Tuesday.  The longer range guidance also suggests that more of a
split flow pattern may develop with weak srn stream energy lifting
out of the srn plains and phasing with the nrn stream shortwave over
the midwest.  The ECMWF is trending much stronger with the srn
stream system and phasing while the GFS shows little, if any of the
srn stream energy and lack the deepening phased system over the
midwest by midweek.  So, will carry at least chance PoPs for Tuesday
and Wednesday since the nrn stream system alone would justify carry
some pcpn mention.  Should there be phasing to the extent indicated
by the ECMWF, more widespread and longer duration for shra/tsra
would be likely.

&&

.AVIATION...
For the 00Z TAFs...

Strong south winds will begin to dissipate this evening with gusts
below 30 kt expected after 01Z-02Z. While thunderstorms are
struggling to form given the strong cap, the cap will continue to
deteriorate allowing for thunderstorms to move through this
evening. Strong and isolated severe thunderstorms are expected
with the best chance near RFD. Have high confidence in
thunderstorms impacting all of the terminals this evening, but
medium confidence in timing and how many rounds of thunderstorms
there will be.

VFR conditions are expected behind the storms overnight into
Thursday morning and southwest winds will gust to 20-25 kt. Some
guidance members suggest that low end VFR/high end MVFR cigs are
psbl at RFD Thursday morning, but did not have enough confidence
to include MVFR in the TAF. Winds veer to northwest by late
Thursday afternoon, and then become northeast in the evening.

&&

.MARINE...
230 PM CDT

Main marine forecast concerns include a period of gusty south
winds tonight into early Thursday, shifting north on Thursday and
persisting through Friday. South gales remain possible over the IL
and IN nearshore waters into early this evening.

Low pressure is deepening over the central plains and will slowly
lift northeast to the Upper Mississippi Valley by this evening,
then move across the northern Lakes Thursday while trailing a cold
front pushes down the lake and eventually moves south of the lake
by Thursday evening. A broad area of gusty south winds will occur
across the lake tonight as the low lifts northeast. While stable
conditions will likely limit winds to 30 kt or so over the open
waters, winds will likely gust lower end gales over the waters
immediately adjacent to land along southern Lake Michigan. Strong
south winds will ease late tonight and shift to northerly on
Thursday as the low and trailing cold front move through. North
winds will increase into the 25-30 kt range as a fairly strong
area of high pressure builds across southern Canada and into the
northern Great Lakes into the weekend. Another low will then lift
across the western Lakes and Upper Midwest on Sunday, lingering
just north of the Lakes across Ontario into early next week.
