.DISCUSSION...
319 AM CDT

POTENTIALLY ACTIVE WEATHER DAY ONCE AGAIN ACROSS THE AREA AS MAIN
UPPER LEVEL LOW CONTINUES TO SPIN ACROSS THE NORTHERN LAKES WHILE
MAIN UPPER RIDGE AMPLIFIES ACROSS THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS. MAIN
SHORTWAVE OF INTEREST IN THE NEAR TERM IS HIGHLY EVIDENT ON WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY THIS MORNING AS IT CONTINUES TO DIVE INTO THE UPPER
MISS RVR VLY FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS. ON THE SFC...07Z OBJECTIVE
ANALYSIS SHOWS WELL DEFINED WIND SHIFT LINE/TROUGH STRETCHED FROM
NORTH CENTRAL WI...SWWD THROUGH SE MN. THIS FEATURE COMBINED WITH
APPROACHING SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL LEAD TO INITIAL ROUND OF
SHWRS/STORMS THIS MORNING...AS SFC TROUGH AXIS CONTINUES TO SLIDE
INTO AREA.

LATEST SPC DAY 1 OUTLOOK HAS TRIMMED BACK SLIGHT RISK TO SOUTHERN
CWA WHICH APPEARS RATHER ACCEPTABLE CONSIDERING BEST DYNAMICS FOR
ORGANIZED CONVECTION WILL GRADUALLY SINK SOUTH AS THE DAY CONTINUES
ON. SHORT TERM GUIDANCE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH MAIN VORTEX TO
THE NORTH GRADUALLY SINKING SOUTHWARD ACROSS NORTHERN LAKES AS THE
DAY PROGRESSES. WITH THAT IN MIND...SHEAR AND INSTABILITY WILL ALSO
GRADUALLY SHIFT SOUTHWARDS THROUGHOUT THE DAY...AS MAIN SFC TROUGH
NOTED ABOVE SKIRTS SOUTHWARD AND 40-50KT MID LEVEL JET ARRIVE FROM
THE WEST. HOWEVER ENTIRE AREA IS BY NO MEANS OUT OF THE WOODS FOR
T-STORM DEVELOPMENT THIS MORNING AS SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND SFC TROUGH
AXIS ARRIVE DURING THE MID MORNING HRS. FAIRLY UNIMPRESSIVE
RADIATIONAL INVERSION NOTED ON LATEST ACARS SOUNDING FROM ORD THIS
MORNING AND BASED ON THIS...EXPECT VERY LITTLE CIN TO PREVENT
CONVECTIVE UPDRAFT INITIATION. WITH SUCH LIMITED WIND SHEAR
AVAILABLE (0-6KM BULK SHEAR VALUES OF ROUGHLY 20KTS) AND FAVORABLE
WET BULB ZERO LEVELS (8-9KFT) FEEL PULSE STORMS WILL BE THE MAIN
CONCERN THIS MORNING WITH MARGINAL HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND POTENTIAL
BEING THE BIGGEST THREATS. WRF/GFS IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN SHOWING
STEEPENING LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES THROUGH THE MORNING DUE TO SOLAR
INSULATION...WITH MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ALSO EXPECTED TO INCREASE AS
COLDER AIR IN ASSOCIATION WITH MAIN VORTEX TO THE NORTH SINKS
SOUTHWARD. ONLY CAVEAT RIGHT NOW IS JUST HOW MUCH CLOUD COVER WILL
MOVE IN EARLY THIS MORNING WITH APPROACHING SHORTWAVE...POSSIBLY
LIMITING DEGREE OF HEATING/INSTABILITY THIS MORNING. FOR NOW...HAVE
BUMPED POPS UP TO LIKELY ACROSS MUCH OF CWA WITH PREMISE THAT
SHWRS/STORMS MAY ARRIVE IN TWO SEPARATE BATCHES TODAY...WITH THE
SECOND BATCH ARRIVING THIS AFTERNOON AS NEXT SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY
ANALYZED NEAR THE ARROWHEAD OF MN ARRIVES BY AFTERNOON. AM EXPECTING
SECOND ROUND TO BE LESS OF A MENACE AS COMPARED TO THE FIRST AS ATM
WILL LIKELY BE STABILIZED DUE TO EARLIER CONVECTION... HOWEVER
CANNOT RULE OUT SCT STORMS.

BIG CHANGE IN WEATHER PATTERN EXPECTED BY MONDAY AS UPPER LEVEL
RIDGE OFF TO THE WEST FINALLY BEGINS NOSING INTO AREA...EFFECTIVELY
SENDING PESKY UPPER LEVEL LOW OFF TO THE EAST. SFC HIGH PRESSURE
EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY BUILD ACROSS REGION ON MONDAY...WITH NORTHERLY
TO NORTHEASTERLY FLOW EXPECTED AREA WIDE. FLOW OFF THE LAKE WILL
LEAD TO NOTICEABLE COOLER TEMPS ALONG THE IMMEDIATE LAKE
SHORE...WHERE ONLY UPPER 60S WILL BE POSSIBLE NORTH OF DOWNTOWN.
HIGH PRESSURE SIDES OFF TO THE EAST BY TUESDAY...WITH SOUTHEASTERLY
FLOW KEEPING IMMEDIATE LAKESHORE LOCATIONS COOLER ONCE AGAIN. UPPER
LEVEL FLOW EXPECTED TO DEAMPLIFY ON TUESDAY WITH FLOW BECOMING MORE
PROGRESSIVE WITH TIME. SHORTWAVE THROUGH EXPECTED TO BEGIN EJECTING
OUT THE OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS LATE TUESDAY...WITH MCS DEVELOPMENT
LIKELY ACROSS THE EASTERN CENTRAL PLAINS/MID MISS RVR VLY TUE NIGHT.
MODELS SHOWING RATHER IMPRESSIVE MOISTURE RETURN INTO AREA...HOWEVER
AS IS USUALLY THE CASE WITH THESE SITUATIONS...AVAILABLE MOISTURE
MAY BE OVERDONE WITH RATHER NOTICEABLE RIDGE AXIS PRESENT ACROSS
NORTHERN HALF OF GULF OF MEXICO. REGARDLESS...THIS FEATURE IS BEEN
WELL ADVERTISED IN RECENT DAYS AND CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING.
SO...EXPECT INCREASED CLOUDINESS TUE NIGHT WITH SCT ELEVATED
SHWRS/STORMS POSSIBLE BY WEDNESDAY MORNING ACROSS THE AREA AS MAIN
WARM FRONT LIES TO THE WEST OF THE REGION. TEMPS EXPECTED TO BEGIN
REBOUNDING ON TUE WITH RETURN OF SOUTHERLY FLOW ON TUE...WITH TREND
CONTINUING THROUGH MIDDLE TO LATTER PORTIONS OF THE WEEK.

.AVIATION...

1200 UTC TAFS...KEY TO FORECAST TODAY WILL BE TRYING TO TIME
SUBTLE DISTURBANCES SWINGING AROUND WESTERN PERIPHERY OF BIG UPPER
LOW CENTERED OVER ONTARIO/WESTERN GREAT LAKES. FIRST LITTLE SHORT
WAVE SEEN IN WATER VAPOR IR SATELLITE LOOP HAS MOVED FROM SOUTHERN
MN TO SOUTHERN WI EARLY THIS MORNING. WEAK SURFACE TROF CAN BE
SEEN IN OBS WITH WINDS BACKING TO WSW OVER NORTHEAST IL AND
TURNING MORE NORTHWESTERLY OVER SOUTHERN WI. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS POPPING UP RAPIDLY OVER NE IL WITH THIS FEATURE.
EXPECT A PERIOD OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER CHICAGO AREA TAF
SITES THROUGH ABOUT MID MORNING. BULK OF THE ACTIVITY DEVELOPING
SOUTH AND EAST OF RFD...SO WILL JUST CARRY A VICINITY GROUP THERE.

AFTER THIS FIRST LITTLE WAVE GOES BY...COMBINATION OF COLD AIR
ALOFT AND HEATING AT SURFACE SHOULD PRODUCE SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY
FOR SCATTERED TO BROKEN CU FIELD AND SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...ALTHOUGH NOTHING VERY WELL ORGANIZED.

NEXT VORT MAX PROGGED TO DROP DOWN THROUGH THE AREA LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING. EXPECT A MORE BROKEN TO OVERCAST
CLOUD DECK AND MORE NUMEROUS SHOWERS. COULD BE A FEW EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS BUT WILL JUST CARRY SHOWERS FOR NOW. THUNDER MAY
NEED TO BE ADDED AT 18Z UPDATE. SHOWERS SHOULD GRADUALLY DIMINISH
AFTER MIDNIGHT. EXPECT SURFACE WINDS TO GRADUALLY TURN WNW LATER
THIS MORNING AND NW THROUGH MOST OF THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
WINDS SHOULD GENERALLY BE AROUND 10 KNOTS OR LESS.

213 AM CDT

A BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CENTERED OVER EAST CENTRAL ONTARIO
EARLY THIS MORNING WILL MOVE SLOWLY EAST INTO QUEBEC. A SURFACE
TROF ROTATING AROUND THE LOW AND COLD AIR ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH
UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE WILL CAUSE NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP OVER LAKE MICHIGAN TODAY INTO THIS
EVENING. AS THE LOW MOVES EAST LATER TONIGHT AND MONDAY...A LARGE
AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE FROM THE PLAINS TO THE WESTERN
GREAT LAKES AND MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...BRINGING AN END TO THE
SHOWERY WEATHER. AS THE HIGH MOVES EAST TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY...SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL RETURN TO LAKE MICHIGAN.
