What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this small craft advisory 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 small craft advisory went out at Jan 29, 2:10 AM CST, 1 hour 10 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 29, 2:10 AM CST, 1 hour 10 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville, IL 210 AM CST Fri Jan 29 2021 .SHORT TERM... 301 PM CST Through Friday night... Seasonably cold but dry weather will persist through Friday night. Afternoon surface analysis depicts a north-south oriented surface high pressure ridge across Wisconsin and Illinois. The surface ridge will continue to drift slowly east tonight, eventually shifting east of the forecast area Friday morning. The combination of light/calm winds within the ridge axis, a cold/dry low level modified arctic air mass, and the potential for periods of clear to partly cloudy skies will likely set up another chilly night across the region. Mid-level warm advection just upstream of the area was producing patch7 mid and high level clouds this afternoon however, and this scattered cloud cover will spill across the forecast area at times overnight and may keep temps a little milder overall than last night. Even so, lows in the single digits (above zero) are likely across northern IL portions of the cwa where snow cover exists. A few sub-zero readings can't be ruled out if skies clear for an appreciable amount of time. Have trended toward the cooler MAV guidance where snow cover is more prevalent. Temps are expected to moderate a bit more into the upper 20s/low 30s Friday, as the surface ridge moves off to the east of the area, and warm advection increases aloft. Cloud cover will thicken up Friday night, in advance of a disturbance tracking toward the region across the Plains. Along with a modest but persistent southeast wind, this will help keep temps mainly in the 20s through the night. Ratzer && .LONG TERM... 205 AM CST Monday through Thursday... Beyond this weekend's system of interest, the pattern favors continued progressive and fairly deep long waves over North America, aided too by teleconnections. For next week, attention in time may turn to the Thursday-Friday time frame. Despite days 7-8 in the forecast, there is higher than normal confidence in a deep and anomalous system in the Midwest based on consistency in guidance, as well as global ensembles showing higher probabilities in key mass fields. For Monday, lingering clouds from the weekend system's influence are likely, especially lake effect clouds and possibly flurries. This looks like a setup where at least some of the CWA if not most of it may clear during the day going into a 1026+ mb high over fresh snow cover. Have blended a cooler National Blend of Models (NBM) solution into the forecast for highs Monday and lows Monday night with this regime. This does not look like any type of substantial cold for the first day of February by any means, with 850 mb only around -5C (near normal). More sun looks favored Tuesday and possibly into Wednesday as amplifying upper riding is predicted to move over. This ridging is ahead of a deepening western trough which is the aforementioned late week system. With this far in the forecast and active weather this coming weekend, have not gone into detailed analysis of this Plains Low archetype system that is forecast in guidance. It's worth noting though that the EC ensemble (50 members worth) mean MSLP is below 999 mb for Thursday and Thursday night. It's also quicker, more in line with the GFS and Canadian models, as opposed to the operational ECMWF which did slow with the surface low on its 00Z run. The system speed as it possibly moves into the Upper Midwest or Great Lakes region will be important in that it would impact the duration of potential rain, as well as warm sector temperatures and dew points above freezing. These two together if they were to align would be rain on snow melt. This does not scream aggressive melt in current solutions, although a slower ECMWF is a bit more concerning. Will have to keep an eye on this. MTF && .AVIATION... For the 06Z TAFs... No forecast concerns expected this period. High pressure is centered over the area currently and will slowly shift east Friday morning. Light/calm winds will become light east/southeast by daybreak and slowly increase into the 8-10kt range on Friday. Wind speeds are likely to increase further Friday night, into the 10-15kt range with some gusts possible. Mid level cloud cover has developed and spread across the area and mid clouds at various levels can be expected through the period. There is an area of mvfr cigs across central IA shifting northeast with a 3-4kft vfr deck on the leading edge. This cloud cover may get close to rfd before sunrise, but confidence is low. cms && .MARINE... 205 AM CST A Small Craft Advisory has been issued for the weekend with the upcoming system, but its worth noting here that there is a potential for a period of gales in the Illinois nearshore on Saturday evening into overnight. The winds with this system will be southeast during Saturday gradually backing to easterly Saturday night, providing a stiff onshore component. The magnitude of pressure falls occurring Saturday night over the southern part of the lake in this type of setup, especially with some instability over the water, has supported gales before. For now will mention occasional gales in the Illinois nearshore. Also the waves will build significantly to over 8 ft with this type of setup, and potentially to once again 10-12 ft that could linger into Sunday morning. MTF && .LOT WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
