Area forecast discussion, May 9, 6:31 AM CDT, 4 hours 12 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville, IL
631 AM CDT Sun May 9 2021
.SHORT TERM...
355 AM CDT
Today through Monday...
A pronounced west-to-east oriented midlevel fgen band pivoting over
the area north of an approaching area of low pressure has been
supporting a broad swath of rain showers...in places mixed with wet
snowflakes...and in other areas with some embedded lightning. In
fact the extent of lightning overnight has been fairly impressive.
This area of forcing should gradually shift south and east through
the morning as the associated surface low moves toward the Ohio
Valley. Forecast soundings and current obs support the idea that
minor wet snow accumulations are possible but should quickly melt in
mid-upper 30s air temperatures, so a mention of any storm-total snow
accumulations has been removed.
In the wake of the wet morning and possibly a wet early afternoon
for our eastern areas, along with brisk easterly winds, highs today
will only reach the upper 40s east where the rain lingers the
longest to mid-upper 50s northwest where the rain moves out soonest.
Certainly not the most pleasant weather for Mother's Day.
Monday morning brings another chance of frost with lows in the 30s
for most locations. The exception would be the immediate Chicago
metro area, especially downwind of the relatively warmer lake.
Unfortunately for those same locations, daytime highs will be
correspondingly cooler near the lake on Monday, only around 50,
while the rest of the area warms into the mid-upper 50s.
There is a small chance on Monday that an isolated shower could
develop in association with an upper wave moving over the area, but
lower levels are quite dry and would take a bit to saturate from the
top down.

&&
.LONG TERM...
212 AM CDT
Monday night through Saturday...
Sprawling surface high pressure will settle into the region during
the long term portion of the forecast which looks to greatly limit
our local precipitation chances, at least until towards the end of
the week and upcoming weekend.
We look to start things off Tuesday morning on another cool note,
with a generally clear sky and slackening winds affording
temperatures a chance to fall into the low to mid 30s (away from
Chicago). Dewpoints will remain high enough to support the
development of frost, and it's looking probable that we'll be
headed for some additional frost headlines for this period. Some
of our typical cool spots could briefly dip into the upper 20s for
a time as well.
Lake breezes look to make a daily appearance with the weak
gradient flow in place, and this will help keep our immediate
lakeside locales a few degrees cooler than inland areas, at least
until the background flow turns more south and southwesterly by
the end of the week. Outside of a healthier cumulus field near
the lake on Tuesday, cloud cover should also be fairly minimal
during this time.
We'll start to navigate our way back into the return flow on
Friday, and more son over the weekend as high pressure builds into
the Northeastern US. Depending on the degree of moisture return
here, there could be a thunder threat, but at this time the
extended instability profiles look a bit too meager to support a
mention in the extended grids.

.AVIATION...
For the 12Z TAFs...
Aviation weather concerns this period consist of:
* Cessation of rain chances today and timing the improvement back
to VFR
* Developing gusty northeasterly winds this morning and afternoon
* Low potential for some additional showers late tonight/Monday
morning
Rain will continue for a few more hours at DPA/ORD before
gradually pushing southeast with time this morning. MDW and GYY
will remain in precipitation a bit longer, with commensurately
lower cigs expected at those two sites. Conditions should
gradually improve through the late-morning and early-afternoon
hours with VFR conditions expected to return this afternoon
although there is some uncertainty regarding exactly how quickly
this occurs. Northeast winds will gradually increase as well this
morning, and gusts to around 25-30 kts appear likely (a bit lower
at RFD).
Gusts will ease this evening with winds expected to maintain a
just-east-of-north direction through the rest of the TAF period.
A weak disturbance will approach the region later this evening
and overnight and may bring a low chance for some light showers
or sprinkles to the area terminals. At this time, forecast
soundings appear too dry to support a precipitation mention, but
we'll continue to monitor guidance trends today. The latest
indications are that surface winds will remain just elevated
enough to curtail a fog risk at the terminals as well.
