Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville, IL
336 PM CDT Mon Apr 1 2024

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Showers and thunderstorms will persist tonight through Tuesday
  afternoon some of which could be strong to severe with a
  threat for large hail and gusty winds.

- Heavy rainfall will also occur with the showers and storms
  which will lead to rise in area stream and rivers and may lead
  to flooding of low-lying areas and ditches.

- Storm system to transition rain to wet snow late Tuesday into
  Wednesday which could yield some accumulations.

- Blustery and chilly through Thursday with waves of snow and rain
  showers into or a bit beyond Thursday morning

- Cool and breezy Friday then warming trend through early next
  week with rain shower chances returning later Sunday into
  Monday

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 335 PM CDT Mon Apr 1 2024

Through Wednesday:

Showers and thunderstorms continue to develop along the 850 mb
warm front which is currently analyzed across northern IA,
northern IL, and northwest IN. RAP mesoanalysis shows a plume of
300 to 500 J/kg of MUCAPE south of the 850 front along with
modestly steep mid-level lapse rates which will continue to
support the development of showers and thunderstorms through
this evening. A few of these storms could even become strong to
possibly severe this evening if they are able to interact with
the 60+ kts of bulk shear overhead. The main threat with any
strong to severe storms will large hail up to quarter size, but
some localized gusty winds are also possible. Given this
potential SPC has extended the marginal (level 1 of 5) risk
north to I-88 through tonight.

While the instability is expected to gradually wane from north
to south overnight, the broad ascent generated by the upper
trough sprawled across the southwest CONUS and surface low
lifting into central IL will allow showers to persist into the
day on Tuesday. Couple this forcing with the ample moisture
present (PWATs around 1.0 inch) and there continues to be the
threat for periods of heavy rainfall as well. Guidance continues
to favor areas south of I-80 for the greatest rainfall totals
(totals possibly in the 2 to 3 inch range), but most of
northeast IL and northwest IN are forecast to see amounts around
1.0 inch. Given the above average soil moisture and already
heightened river levels from last night's rain some localized
flooding may occur especially in low-lying and more flood prone
areas.

Heading into Tuesday the aforementioned surface low is expected
to lift northeast into lower Michigan Tuesday afternoon which
should bring the track over the southeast corner of our forecast
area. In doing so, it looks as if the warm sector may remain in
parts of our area into Tuesday afternoon which looks to
generate another threat for strong to severe thunderstorms.
While most of these storms look to be mainly elevated, there is
a growing signal amongst hi-res guidance that some surface based
instability may creep into parts of our area east of I-57 which
would make for a threat of gusty winds, large hail, and
possibly even a isolated tornado. As such SPC has reintroduced a
marginal risk (level 1 of 5) for all of northwest Indiana and
portions of northern IL near the IL-IN line. Keep in mind there
is still some uncertainty in regards to the exact low track
which could shift and force the warm sector east of the area so
be sure to closely monitor the forecast for changes.

Once the surface low pushes east of the area Tuesday afternoon
it is forecast to quickly deepen as the broad southwest trough
begins to phase with an upper low forecast to dive out of Canada
into the Great Lakes. As this occurs the ongoing rain is
expected to transition to wet snow late Tuesday into Tuesday
night as colder air advects into northern IL behind the upper
low. Initially, accumulations with any snow look to be limited
due to surface temperatures still above freezing, but as
temperatures cool Tuesday night some slushy accumulations could
materialize. While guidance is generally in good agreement with
this evolution there is some uncertainty in exactly where the
upper low and the deepening surface low will establish which
will impact where the heaviest axis of snow will occur. At this
time it looks as if the highest snow accums should occur north
of our area into southern Wisconsin and lower Michigan, but
there is a signal in guidance that higher totals (in excess of 2
inches) could reach into northern IL late Tuesday night into
Wednesday. Regardless, wet snow is expected to persist through
the day on Wednesday before winding down Wednesday night.

Additionally, winds will also turn northwesterly in the wake of
the surface low with speeds increasing through the day on
Tuesday into Wednesday. Depending on where exactly the surface
low stalls once it gets into Lower Michigan, we could see winds
gusting upwards of 35 to 40 mph on Wednesday.

Yack

Wednesday Night through Monday:

Exceptionally deep and cold closed mid-upper level low pressure
will be centered in approximately the Michiana area early
Wednesday evening. The 500 mb low, which will bottom out around
520 DaM, nearing record lows for 500 mb heights for early April,
will pivot southeast into Thursday morning. As such, the strongest
large scale forcing will exit east and southeast of the area,
yielding a more showery precip regime, particularly overnight into
Thursday. There's a window in the early to mid evening over
interior northern and central Indiana, closest to the closed low
and coldest temps aloft, for some more persistent snow/snow
showers, though it's questionable if surface wet bulb temps will
be supportive enough. Another short-wave wrapping southward around
the circulation early Thursday morning may bring another
temporary enhancement to the precip rates in ongoing rain and snow
showers.

With brisk northerly flow down the fetch of water temps
in the 40s over the lake, any lake enhancement and potential
accumulations from it would likely be relegated to well inland.
All in all, the more showery nature of the precip and marginal
temperatures in the lower to mid 30s suggest that additional
slushy accumulations will be limited, localized, and thus less
likely to cause any travel impacts. Shower coverage should further
wind down Thursday afternoon as the closed low shifts into the
northeast US. It will be unpleasant through Thursday with
unseasonably chilly temperatures (lows in the 30s and highs in the
40-45F range) with northerly gusts up to 30-40 mph. Large waves
and elevated lake levels may cause some overwash onto vulnerable
portions of lakeshore paths and trails, particularly in Chicago
and Lake County Indiana.

It will take some time to lose the influence of the pronounced
eastern troughing on Friday, with continued cool northerly breezes
keeping highs in the 40s, coolest lakeside, despite increased
sunshine. Saturday will be a fairly pleasant day with plenty of
sun and highs in the 50s away from the lake, but only in the 40s
lakeside due to onshore winds persisting. The next western trough
will eject east in the Sunday-Monday timeframe, accompanied by a
return of shower chances. Temperatures will likely continue their
warming trend, though the magnitude of this warm-up into Monday
will be dependent upon the track and evolution of the trough
traversing the region.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 1253 PM CDT Mon Apr 1 2024

Key Aviation Messages:
- Isolated TS mid to late afternoon, with a (30%) chance a
  couple TS could produce small hail or gusty winds
- Extended period of IFR ceilings tonight and Tuesday
- SN potentially mixing with RA late Tuesday afternoon

A cluster of isolated elevated TS developing along the
Mississippi River from far northwest IL into west-central IL
will lift ENE through this afternoon. While TS is not expected
to be continuous during this time, at least a couple TS should
affect the general Chicago metro airspace roughly in the 20-23Z
window. There remains a chance (30%) that small hail or gusty
winds over 30 knots accompany the storms.

Otherwise, the forecast window from this evening into Tuesday
afternoon will consist of periods of -SHRA with IFR ceilings and
NE winds with gusts to 25 knots. At the very end of the period
(around or after 22Z Tuesday), colder air will filter into the
area with a NNW wind shift. The -RA may begin to mix with -SN by
00Z, so have included -RASN in the TAF during this time.

.MARINE...
Issued at 335 PM CDT Mon Apr 1 2024

A period of strong northerly to northwesterly winds remains
likely late Tuesday through Thursday, though with continued
uncertainty with the details. Deepening surface low pressure will
track from central Illinois to southern Lake Michigan or western
Lower Michigan Tuesday evening. The low pressure will bottom out
at 29.00 to 29.15 inches Wednesday night into early Thursday and
then slowly weaken the rest of Thursday as it meanders eastward.
High pressure around 30.2 inches over the Plains states will
cause a tight pressure gradient between it and the deep surface
low and the resulting potential for gale force winds.

There may be a window for gale force gusts north of the deepening
low pressure center mid-late Tuesday afternoon, though did not
modify the gale watch yet to encompass this period. A slightly
farther northwesterly track of the surface low in Monday's most
recent model guidance lowered the chance for a higher end gale
scenario late Tuesday night through Thursday. It's possible that
after the late Tuesday period, the next best chance for 35-40 kt
northerly gales will be late day Wednesday through early to mid
Thursday afternoon. As noted earlier, given the uncertainty, did
not upgrade the Gale Watch to a warning for the nearshore waters.
However, did extend the Watch in time a bit until 3 PM CDT on
Thursday.
