Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville, IL
326 AM CDT Wed Oct 27 2021
.SHORT TERM...
325 AM CDT
Through Wednesday night...
The clear skies overhead have cooled temperatures across the area
into the middle and upper 30's early this morning resulting in some
patchy frost, particularly in parts of NW Indiana. The clear skies,
with some help from very light winds and dewpoints too in the middle
and upper 30's, have also spawned an area of fog focused over NW
Indiana and reaching into parts of Will, Kankakee, and Iroquois
Counties. The frost and fog will last through daybreak and shortly
thereafter. Winds this morning will be light and variable before
increasing to 5-10 mph out of the southeast this afternoon with
gusts upwards of 15 mph. No rain is expected through the day,
although clouds will build from the southwest through the day
leaving most of the area with a partly cloudy Wednesday though
western and southwestern portions of the CWA may thicken up to
mostly cloudy a bit later in the day. Cloudy skies are anticipated
over the entire area by late this evening. Winds will back to
easterly late tonight while maintaining gusts as high as 15 mph and
possibly up to 20 mph right along the lake. Slight rain chances will
move over the southwestern half of the CWA overnight tonight as a
storm system approaches and is set to bring us another rainy day on
Thursday.

.LONG TERM...
309 AM CDT
Thursday night through Tuesday...
Thursday and Friday continue to look cloudy and wet as a closed
upper-level wave and associated surface low pressure system
meander northward through the Ohio River Valley. Showers will
first spread from south to north across our area on Thursday,
though there may be more virga than actual rain through mid-
morning given a stout wedge of dry mid-level air. With time, top-
down saturation with a little help from a low-level cloud deck
generated by the unstable waters of Lake Michigan (e.g. "seeder
feeder" mechanism) will allow for rain to become widespread by the
noon hour. On-and-off rain showers will then continue into Friday
mixed between pockets of low clouds, mist, and drizzle. Shower
coverage should gradually wane from west to east Friday night,
with the highest coverage expected to be near Lake Michigan by
early Saturday morning. It appears all areas should be dry toward
daybreak Saturday.
With the storm system more or less closed-off, moisture will be far
less plentiful compared to the previous fall storm. As a result,
rain rates Thursday and Friday will be on the "light" side --
generally a tenth or two of an inch every 6 hours. However,
seasonably cool 850 mb temperatures, the relatively warm waters of
Lake Michigan, and favorable northeasterly low-level flow will
allow for "enhancement" to precipitation rates particularity
across Lake (IL), DuPage, Cook, and northern Will counties pretty
much through the entire duration of the storm. By the time rain
tapers Saturday morning, total rainfall amounts should tally somewhere
between one half and three quarters of an inch areawide, with
perhaps a smidge less near Rockford and closer to an inch along
the Illinois shoreline of Lake Michigan. Temperatures Thursday
through Friday will be steady and in the lower 50s (we wouldn't be
surprised if the official high and low at Chicago O'Hare are
within 2 or 3 degrees on Friday). Finally, increasingly blustery
winds, particularity on Friday, will add a nice touch altogether
making for a cloudy, wet, blustery, and seasonably cool end to the
workweek.
Aside from a cloudy start to Saturday, the upcoming weekend looks
pleasant with highs in the upper 60s and light winds. Ensemble model
guidance continues to advertise a slide downward in temperatures
next week as an upper-level wave dives south across the northern
United States. Ensemble 850 mb median temperatures of -5 to 0C
support highs in the 40s and lows in the mid 30s from Monday
onward.

.AVIATION...
For the 06Z TAFs...
There are no aviation concerns through the TAF period.
With a surface ridge directly overhead, winds will remain light if
not calm at all terminals through daybreak. At ORD/MDW/GYY, would
not be surprised if winds try to adopt a component toward Lake
Michigan before daybreak as a land breeze develops, but
confidence in such a scenario is far too low to include in the
outgoing TAF package. Additionally, a few pockets of clouds based
near 2500 may float over the Chicago terminals before daybreak as
a modest "cool pocket" advects over Lake Michigan.
After daybreak,generally southeasterly winds aob 12 kt will
prevail though a few gusts of 14-17kt may occur at RFD this
afternoon where a modest low-level pressure gradient will be in
place. Upper-level clouds will gradually increase in coverage as
the TAF period progresses.
Toward the very end of the 30-hour TAF window at ORD/MDW, MVFR
cigs may attempt to develop off Lake Michigan as low-level flow
and moisture increases ahead of the next weather-maker. For now,
will advertised a SCT020 deck toward daybreak Thursday and provide
a closer look with the 12Z forecast package.
