4 AM CDT MONDAY...

* LAKE SHORE FLOODING...Strong northeast winds will result in
  waves of 7 to 10 ft, occasionally higher, through Sunday night. 

* LOCATION...Lake County Indiana shoreline.

* IMPACTS...Elevated lake levels and high waves will cause 
  inundation of flood prone areas near the lake. 

* HIGH WAVE ACTION AND DANGEROUS SWIMMING CONDITIONS CONTINUE 
  THROUGH MONDAY. 

* STRONG RIP CURRENTS AND STRUCTURAL CURRENTS EXPECTED THROUGH 
  MONDAY. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Life threatening waves and currents are expected at the beaches.
People visiting the beaches should stay out of the water.

Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away
from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in
sandbars. Rip currents can sweep you into deeper water.

Structural currents form along piers where longshore currents and
wave action flow into the structure. Structural currents can
sweep you into deeper water along the pier structure.

Exposed beaches are more likely to experience the most
significant wave and current impacts. Impacts at beaches with
protective breakwalls or jetties will be subject to the
orientation of structures as well as wind and wave direction.

A Lakeshore Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds will
generate flooding of low areas along the lakeshore.

A Lakeshore Flood Advisory indicates that onshore winds will
generate flooding of low areas along the lakeshore.

Life threatening waves and currents are expected at the beaches.
People visiting the beaches should stay out of the water.

Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away
from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in
sandbars. Rip currents can sweep you into deeper water.

Structural currents form along piers where longshore currents and
wave action flow into the structure. Structural currents can
sweep you into deeper water along the pier structure.

Exposed beaches are more likely to experience the most
significant wave and current impacts. Impacts at beaches with
protective breakwalls or jetties will be subject to the
orientation of structures as well as wind and wave direction.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this beach hazards statement went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Chicago, IL wrote its last area forecast discussion before this beach hazards statement went out at Sep 7, 2:08 AM CDT, 59 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 7, 2:08 AM CDT, 59 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville, IL
208 AM CDT Fri Sep 7 2018

.SHORT TERM...
242 PM CDT

Through Friday...

Timing of greatest rain chances is the main forecast concern over
the next 36 hours.

Cold front which moved slowly through the region late Wednesday
and Wednesday night, has sagged into the Ohio Valley and become
nearly stationary this afternoon. An area of light-moderate rain
has persisted north of the surface front from Missouri into
northern IL and far northwest IN however, in association with
ageostrophic response to frontogenetic forcing within the elevated
925-850 mb baroclinic zone, and a somewhat sheared mid-level
vorticity axis translating across the area. Various model guidance
weakens the frontogenetic forcing this afternoon, and radar
returns are indeed eroding across far northern IL. Presence of the
baroclinic zone and weak isentropic ascent may continue to
produce some occasional sprinkles or light rain through this
evening, though we should see an overall lull in rainfall this
afternoon.

Later tonight, weak height falls develop across the Midwest, in
response to another weak mid-level short wave shearing eastward
from the Plains, and a subtle veering of flow above the flow
above the boundary layer across the lower Mississippi/Ohio
Valleys. This renews modest isentropic ascent and moisture
advection into the region late tonight, and is expected to
redevelop/spread rain into the forecast area from the south.
Similar to today, central and southern portions of the cwa appear
most favored for steadier precipitation, as surface high pressure
across the northern Great Lakes and low level northeast winds help
to sharpen the gradient between rain/no rain across the northern
counties of the cwa. Various model qpf suggests 0.50-1.00 inches
of rain is possible south of the I-80 corridor through Friday,
which has been relatively dry compared to northern parts of the
forecast area with respect to heavy rainfall which fell this past
weekend.

Cool northeast flow and fairly extensive daytime cloud cover will
maintain cooler than average temps through Friday, with highs in
the upper 60s/lower 70s and lows dipping into the mid-upper 50s
especially far north tonight.

.LONG TERM...
242 PM CDT

Friday night through Thursday...

Remnants of Gordon remain the primary forecast concern for this
weekend, but expect a fairly tranquil period of weather in its
wake as high pressure locks in over the region for much of the
upcoming week.

Global and regional models initialize fairly well with respect to
position and strength of the surface low over Arkansas this
afternoon, though quickly diverge through the day today as the low
meanders westward initially then lifts northeast starting Friday.
Models bring the low track across the mid Mississippi Valley
early Saturday, but there continues to be some uncertainty on the
latitudinal extent as it lifts across portions of the midwest. The
ECMWF and GEM continue to fall on the northern side of the
solution envelope bring the low across central Illinois and
Indiana and resulting precip shield north through the I-88
corridor with potentially several inches of rain into southern
portions of the CWA. Meanwhile, the NAM and GFS continue to
suggest a more southerly solution keeping the low center closer to
the Ohio River Valley resulting in mostly dry weather locally,
except for some low chances south of the Kankakee/Iroquois river
valleys. Given the continued uncertainty in the low track,
continue to carry highest PoPs south of I-80, but will have to
further tighten the PoP and QPF gradient as we hone in on a
solution.

Temperatures will continue to run below normal through the weekend
with afternoon high temps only around 70F. Dew points will also be
more comfortable in the 50s. Expect a modest east to northeast
breeze through the weekend as well. High pressure builds across
the Midwest behind the departing low early next week and moves to
New England by midweek, but ridging will continue to extend west
across the Great Lakes through the week resulting in fair weather
and allowing temperatures to moderate closer to seasonal norms.

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

The main weather concerns for Chicago area airports are:

- Scattered to numerous rain showers near MDW during the morning
  accompanied by MVFR ceilings, possibly as low as 1000 ft
  temporarily, while less coverage and not as low as cigs at ORD

- Northeast winds with occasional gusts in the upper teens from
  late this morning into the evening

Northeast winds are steering in slightly drier air, but a still
moist atmosphere aloft is helping to regenerate showers in central
IL early this morning. These should expand northward to near I-88
by mid-morning before then diminishing during the early-mid
afternoon. Confidence in these reaching nearby MDW is medium-high,
while is lower for ORD. Thunder potential is low, though the
downpours under the slow-moving showers are likely to be briefly
heavy with temporary IFR visibility possible at the Chicago
airports.

Patchy MVFR ceilings have already been seen early this morning at
MDW, and expecting more widespread MVFR ceilings to spread
northward and envelop MDW and probably ORD, at least temporarily
later this morning. If showers are frequent enough, again more so
south toward MDW and GYY, ceilings could lower to around 1,000 ft.

As the pressure gradient tightens this afternoon, the northeast
winds will increase with occasional gusts likely. Speeds will
stay elevated tonight and sporadic gusts to around 20 kt may be
seen.

MTF

&&

.MARINE...
206 AM CDT

An active northeast wind episode especially across the southern
part of the lake will be seen into the weekend. This part of the
lake will get "squeezed" in the pressure gradient between a high
pressure north of Lake Michigan and the remnant low pressure
center of once Tropical Storm Gordon passing to the south. In
response, winds will gradually increase this afternoon and more
so tonight into Saturday. The strongest winds, with frequent gusts
looking to be 30 kt and possibly even sporadic gales, are
expected Saturday night through the day Sunday. This includes the
Illinois and Indiana nearshore. As winds turn more northerly
Sunday night, a continued high swell/wave action should linger
through Monday morning.
