AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL 634 PM CDT FRI JUN 10 2005 .DISCUSSION... THE FORECAST PROBLEM FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WILL BE WHEN THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR. THERE IS A VORTICITY MAXIMUM MOVED INTO WISCONSIN FROM WESTERN ILLINOIS. THIS CAUSE SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN WISCONSIN BUT DID NOTHING IN ILLINOIS THIS LATE AFTERNOON. THERE IS NO OTHER FORCING FOR THUNDERSTORMS AROUND NORTHEAST ILLINOIS THIS EARLY EVENING. THE SURFACE STREAMLINES SHOW A LOT OF SOUTHERLY FLOW BUT NO CONVERGENCE AS OF 20 UTC. THE ACARS SOUNDING AT 1946 UTC AT ORD SHOWS A 1992 J/KG CAPE UP TO 250 MB. MOST OF THE THUNDERSTORMS ARE IN WISCONSIN AND IN MISSOURI. HOWEVER...WILL KEEP A CHANCE THIS EVENING AND KEEP IT 30 PERCENT. THERE COULD BE SOME FORCING AT THE SURFACE THAT COULD DEVELOP LATER THIS EVENING. THE POPS WILL BE A LITTLE HIGHER ON SATURDAY. THE GFS SHOWS POSITIVE VORTICITY ADVECTION THIS EVENING AND THEN LATE SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING. WILL KEEP THE PROBABILITY AROUND 40 PERCENT FOR SATURDAY AND 30 PERCENT ON SUNDAY. A 500 MB TROUGH OVER THE GREAT PLAINS TUESDAY IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO WISCONSIN AND NORTHERN ILLINOIS BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. WE EXPECT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TUESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. HAVE FORECAST LOWER HIGH TEMPERATURES AND LOW TEMPERATURES FOR WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. BASED ON THE COOLER AIR AS THE TROUGH MOVES THROUGH. && .AVIATION... ISOLATED TS HAVE HAVE POPPED UP ACROSS THE AREA IN THE LAST HR OR TWO. WITH A VERY WARM AND MOIST AIRMASS AND PLENTY OF BOUNDARIES AROUND...TS COULD FIRE ALMOST ANYWHERE. THIS ACTIVITY WILL PROBABLY LAST MOST OF THE EVENING AND BEST HANDLED WITH A VCTS AT ALL THE TERMINALS. LARGE AREA OF CONVECTION ACROSS SE IA AND NORTHERN MO LIFTING NE BUT MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THIS ACTIVIY DISSIPATING BEFORE IT REACHES NORTHERN IL. AT THIS TIME THINK RFD HAS THE BEST CHANCE OF SEEING ANY OF THIS ACTIVITY AND WILL INCLUDE A TEMPO THERE BUT FOR NOW WILL STAY DRY AT CHICAGO AREA TERMINALS. CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW TO HAVE MENTION OF TS FOR THE FIRST 3HRS WITH THE POPCORN TS THEN FOR ANOTHER 3-4 HRS WITH THE LEFTOVERS OF THAT LINE...IF IT EVEN MAKES IT HERE. CHANCE OF SOME 3-5SM MVFR FOG TOWARD MORNING...ESPECIALLY AREAS THAT SEE RAIN THIS EVENING AND WILL INCLUDE AT RFD/DPA. MVFR CIGS/VIS POSSIBLE WITH ANY TS ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS AND SMALL HAIL. ISOLATED AFTERNOON CONVECTION POSSIBLE AGAIN SAT AFTERNOON BUT NOT INCLUDED. && .LOT...WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .IL...NONE. .IN...NONE. .LK MI...NONE.
