Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville, IL
648 PM CDT Tue Jun 29 2021

.SHORT TERM...
300 PM CDT

Through Wednesday night...

Widely scattered storms will continue to be possible across areas
south of a line from Mendota to Waukegan. This is the area in
which we have seen more insolation early this afternoon due to
more breaks in the cloud cover. This has allowed temperatures to
warm into the mid 80s amidst 70+ degree dew points, thus
supporting ample MLCAPE values in excess of 1,500 J/KG across much
of the area east of I-39 and south of I-88. Effective deep layer
remains the strongest just north and west of this area, but with
values of shear still up near 30 kt in the areas of better
instability some organized storm clusters capable of producing
localized strong wind gusts and torrential downpours will be
possible. We have already seen this with some of the storm
clusters over parts of east central IL into parts of northwestern
IN. Local instances of flash flooding will be possible with these
storms, especially in areas in which the storms train over the
same areas.

The storms should be on diminishing trend this evening, so the
threat of strong storms and very heavy rainfall will wane. For
this reason, we have opted to allow the current flash flood watch
to expire this evening. While the chances for some showers and
storms will continue tonight, it appears the threat of widespread
areas of very heavy rainfall will wane quickly this evening.

A surface cold frontal boundary will began to shift southward
into northern IL on Wednesday. This should act to keep the primary
threat of thunderstorms with heavy rain on Wednesday south of
I-80.

KJB

.LONG TERM...
300 PM CDT

Thursday through Monday...

The thinking for the extended period has not changed. See below
for more info.

In the wake of a cold front Wednesday night, Thursday will be
noticeably less humid. A secondary front off Lake Michigan by early
afternoon will usher in breezy northwest winds. Widely scattered
showers and thunderstorms may develop during the afternoon hours as
a sharp upper-level wave dives south over the western Great Lakes
cooling mid-level temperatures sufficiently for some 1000+ J/kg of
MLCAPE. Thursday does not look like a washout however, and most
areas will reach the 80 degree mark except along the lakeshore where
the low to mid 70s are expected.

Friday onward through the holiday weekend look splendid! Friday will
feature below normal highs in the lower 70s followed by highs in the
low to mid 80s Saturday and Sunday. Partly sunny skies and light
winds are expected with slim to no chances for precipitation each
day. Temperatures Sunday evening look to be in the neighborhood of
the mid to upper 70s--perfect for fireworks. An early glimpse at
next week reveals a trend toward warming temperatures and a return
of chances for shower and thunderstorm.

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

648 PM...Forecast concerns include...

Chance of thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon.
Wind shift/lake breeze Wednesday afternoon.
Possible mvfr cigs and light fog Wednesday morning.

There is a chance for showers and a few thunderstorms this
evening, mainly south of the terminals. There may be a few light
showers this evening across the terminals. There will be another
chance for showers and thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon. The best
chance is again expected south of the terminals but a lake breeze
is expected Wednesday afternoon, shifting winds to the northeast.
This lake breeze may allow isolated thunderstorms to develop.
Confidence is fairly low but current prob mention is reasonable
from this distance.

There is a small chance for light fog to develop Wednesday
morning, especially in the usual more rural locations. Mvfr cigs
are also possible overnight into mid/late Wednesday morning but
confidence is low and opted for scattered mention with this
forecast. cms
