Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville, IL
1107 AM CDT Mon Oct 25 2021

.UPDATE...
1107 AM CDT

The forecast is in good shape this morning, and have thus made
little change to the going forecast.

Light rain showers will continue across eastern IL and
northwestern IN on the back side of the departing storm system,
now centered over east central IN. These showers should gradually
wane from west to east through the afternoon, though a few widely
scattered lake induced showers may continue for some near the lake
into early this evening.

Strong north-northeasterly winds have peaked across northeastern
IL and southern Lake Michigan this morning, with gusts near 50
mph already reported across parts of the Chicago metro area. These
winds have resulted in waves on southern Lake Michigan building up
to nearly 14' per the latest observation from the Wilmette Buoy
(45174). The going wind and lake shore flood advisories look to be
handling this situation well. With winds expected to gradually
ease through the afternoon, the current end times of these
advisories look good, and thus no changes are planned to these
headlines.

KJB

&&

.SHORT TERM...
340 AM CDT

Through Tuesday...

Scattered showers will continue for most across the area through
at least mid-morning with the far backside of this system yet to
make its way into the area, but could last as late as the early
evening for those in the far eastern portion of the CWA. The
highest rain coverage for the remainder of the event should be
along and north of I-80. The heaviest rainfall and the potential
for thunderstorms is just about said and done with. The biggest
concern in the short term now becomes the strong winds and
resulting lake conditions later this morning. A tightening
pressure gradient on the backside of this storm system will result
in a blustery boundary layer with guidance suggesting sustained
winds upwards of 45kt winds near the top of the layer in the mid
to late morning. And with lapse rates through the boundary layer
around 7-8K/km, we should do well to tap in to some of those
stronger winds down here at the surface for several hours. It
appears as though 12-18Z will be the approximate period of
strongest winds and, consequentially, a wind advisory has been
issued during this time period with 45-50mph gusts appearing
likely. Wind gusts should really begin to die down as we approach
the evening. Meanwhile, the thick cloud cover overhead and lots
of moisture down near the surface will result in a tight diurnal
range with lows this morning in the middle and upper 40's and
afternoon highs in the low 50's. While most of us will be dry
through the evening and into Tuesday, counties bordering the lake
could see some spotty showers thanks to some decent northeasterly
flow and a little bit of lake-induced instability. These lake-
effect showers could last as late as early Tuesday morning.
Through most of the day on Tuesday, however, the entire area will
be rain-free with seasonable highs in the middle and upper 50's
and more sun than clouds.

Doom

&&

.LONG TERM...
340 AM CDT

Tuesday night through Sunday...

Ensemble model guidance is in fair agreement that the parent trough
responsible for the gnarly low pressure system off the Pacific
Northwest will dig into the Southern Plains and "cut off" from the
upper-level flow toward the end of this week. While the ensemble
envelope remains relatively large with differences with the forecast
speed and ultimate strength of the system, it does not appear as if
it will be a trouble maker in our neck of the woods. At any rate,
Wednesday will feature increasing upper-level clouds, light
southeasterly winds, and highs in the upper 50s. Assuming the
aforementioned cut-off system doesn't slow further than advertised
(and often these systems do arrive fashionably late), scattered rain
showers should make an appearance in our area as early as Thursday
morning but perhaps more likely Thursday night through early
Saturday. Overcast skies will hold temperatures Thursday and Friday
in the lower 50s. An early look at potential precipitation amounts
via ensemble means suggests areawide totals less than 1" are more
likely than not. The system should get the boot eastward toward the
latter half of the weekend giving way to fair and seasonable
conditions on Halloween.

.AVIATION...
For the 12Z TAFs...

The primary aviation concerns are within the first 12 hours of the
TAF period with high confidence in strong northeasterly winds and
medium confidence in low cigs.

Winds are starting to increase across northern Illinois on the
north side of a low pressure system tracking south of Interstate
80. After daybreak, winds will increase further as mixing builds
into strong low-level flow, with high confidence gusts will exceed
35 kt at DPA/ORD/MDW/GYY and medium they will exceed 40 kt,
especially between 13 and 17Z. Confidence is also high that the
wind direction will be from the northeast (020-030) during the
time of strongest winds. At the same time, confidence is medium to
high that cigs will be between 800 and 1200 feet through 17Z, as
well. Meanwhile, steady rain with small raindrops will continue to
effectively reduce visibility to as low as 2SM, and a lightning
strike or two will remain possible through the next few hours.

As the low pulls away, showers will taper from west to east and
winds will gradually relax. Confidence is medium gusts will fall
below 30kt by early afternoon. Cigs will also raise this afternoon
and scatter at most terminals, with a BKN cloud deck based between
3000-3500 likely lingering near ORD/MDW through the remainder of
the TAF period.

.MARINE...
340 AM CDT

Very hazardous lake conditions are in store through this morning
and stretching into the evening. Waves of 12 to 16 feet with
occasional waves of 21 feet are expected in the nearshore zones
with waves increasing across the Indiana nearshore later this
morning.

A Gale Warning remains in effect along the entire southern
Lake Michigan shoreline through mid-evening. Peak northeasterly
gusts of 45 kt are expected today and will increase more notably
across the Indiana nearshore through this morning. A few storm-
force gusts to 50kt appear possible through this morning. Winds
will gradually become northerly and ease through this evening. A
small craft advisory will be needed this evening through Tuesday
after the gale warning expires.
