AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
541 PM CST WED JAN 20 2010

.DISCUSSION...
400 PM CST

WHILE BAND OF PRECIP HAS GRADUALLY SPREAD NORTHEASTWARD OVER ALL
BUT THE FAR CORNER OF NORTHEAST IL...SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE
THAT PRECIP REACHING THE GROUND LAGS BEHIND BY ABOUT 40 MI AS
MODERATE EASTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW HAS BEEN PROVIDING A CONTINUED
FEED OF COLD LOW DEW POINT AIR THANKS TO ANTICYCLONE PARKED OVER
ONTARIO. ONCE PRECIP DOES REACH GROUND DEPTH OF COLD LAYER TILL
DEEP ENOUGH TO FREEZE RAIN DROPS TO ICE PELLETS. WITH CONTINUED
WAA ABOVE THE INVERSION WITH 20-30KT SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WINDS THE
BASE OF THE INVERSION LOWERS AND DEPTH OF COLD AIR BECOMES TOO
SHALLOW THAT TIME OF RESIDENCE IN THE COLD LAYER TOO SHORT TO
FREEZE INTO SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN OBSERVED.

MUCH OF FA AT OR JUST ABOVE FREEZING AT THE SURFACE SO UP TO THIS
POINT GLAZING HAS BEEN MINIMAL OR NONE. TEMPERATURES NOT TO FALL
TOO FAR TONIGHT THOUGH WILL BE ENOUGH FOR ENTIRE FA TO SEE
FREEZING PRECIP AS TEMPS DROP TO 28-30F DURING THE EVENING.

SHORT WAVE THAT LIFTED ACROSS THE UPPER MO AND MID MS VALLEYS
TODAY GRADUALLY DAMPENING AS IT PUSHES INTO UPPER RIDGE. DURING
THE EVENING THE MID LEVELS DRY AND UVV IN THE MID LEVELS ALSO ENDS
AS THE SHORT WAVE TROF CONTINUES TO LIFT UP INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST.
HOWEVER...MODELS MAINTAIN MOISTURE IN THE LOWER LEVELS AS ALONG
WITH CONTINUED LOW LEVEL UPGLIDE SO ANTICIPATE BAND OF FREEZING
RAIN TO BE DIMINISHING WITH A TRANSITIONS TO FREEZING DRIZZLE BY
OVERNIGHT.

THIS SHORT WAVE ONLY THE FIRST IS A TRAIN OF DISTURBANCES SEEN ON
SATELLITE EXTENDING WELL WEST OUT OVER THE PACIFIC WITH VERY
STRONG JET NOTED AS AIRCRAFT MEASURED SPEEDS OF 200-225KT
150-160W AND 35-40N. NEXT SHORT WAVE HAS MOVES QUICKLY EAST FROM
AZ TO THE TX AND OK PANHANDLES. THIS WAVES TO CONTINUE TO FORM A
CLOSED LOW OVER THE OZARKS BY 21/12Z AS A JET MAX ROUNDS THE
BOTTOM OF THE TROF. THIS BRINGS ANOTHER ROUND OF PRECIPITATION TO
THE MS VALLEY. AS HAPPENED THIS MORNING THE MAIN SURGE OF WAA RAIN
TO PUSH ACROSS SOUTHERN MO...FAR SOUTHERN IL AND TO THE TN VALLEY
THU. LOCAL FA TO BE ON THE NORTHERN FRINGE OF THE PRECIP SHIELD
WITH A DEFORMATION ZONE OF LIGHT PRECIP STRETCHING NW ACROSS IA
INTO MN. THIS WILL KEEP THREAT OF FREEZING PRECIP GOING ACROSS THE
FAR NORTHERN PORTIONS WHILE SOUTHERN PARTS SEE SURFACE TEMPS RISE
INTO MID 30S SO ANY PRECIP THAT FALLS TO BE JUST LIGHT RAIN.

FRIDAY SHOULD BE DRY AS WILL BE BETWEEN SYSTEMS THOUGH WITH THE
CORE OF THE STRONG JET ADVANCING EAST ACROSS NORTHERN MEXICO AND
THE DESERT SOUTHWEST BY 12Z SAT THE UPPER TROF OVER THE PACIFIC
MOVES ASHORE AND FORMS A LARGE UPPER LOW OVER THE CENTRAL
ROCKIES/CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS. AS IT ADVANCES OUT OVER THE PLAINS IT
WILL SPREAD ITS ASSOCIATED PRECIP TO THE MS VALLEY FOR SAT. RAIN
TO PERSIST THROUGH SAT NIGHT AS THE UPPER LOW SLOWS TO A CRAWL.
EVENTUALLY BY 12Z MON IT IS TO BE OVER IL WITH COLD AIR RAPIDLY
SPREADING SOUTHEASTWARD FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS ACROSS THE UPPER
AND MID MS VALLEY. THIS TO CHANCE PRECIP TYPE FROM LIQUID TO
SOLID.

UPPER LOW BEGINS TO OPEN AND LIFT TOWARD THE LOWER GREAT LAKES
LATER MON AND MON NIGHT. BY TUE ONLY A SLIGHT CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW
TO LINGER ACROSS THE EAST HALF OF THE FA.

.AVIATION...
540 PM CST

0000 UTC TAFS...PERIODS OF LIGHT RAIN...FREEZING RAIN...AND SLEET
TONIGHT WILL BE THE PRIMARY AVIATION FORECAST ISSUES.

A WELL DEFINED UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI
INTO NORTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTHWARD INTO
SOUTHERN WISCONSIN OVERNIGHT. A SAMPLING OF VARIOUS ACARS
SOUNDINGS ACROSS THE AREA SUGGESTS ELEVATED LOW LEVEL WARM LAYER
IS WEAK...ON THE ORDER OF 1 TO 2 DEG CELSIUS. WITH SURFACE
TEMPERATURES HOVERING AROUND FREEZING...THIS HAS PROMOTED MAINLY
RAIN AND SLEET ACROSS THE AREA WITH SOME REPORTS OF FREEZING RAIN
ESPECIALLY ACROSS FAR NORTHERN ILLINOIS WHERE SLIGHTLY DRIER LOW
LEVEL AIR HAS LIKELY AIDED IN EVAPORATIVELY COOLING THE NEAR SFC
TEMPERATURES TO JUST BELOW FREEZING. LEADING EDGE OF PRECIPITATION
HAS BEEN RATHER SPOTTY IN NATURE...BUT AS THE VORT MAX CONTINUES
TO SWING NORTHWARD THROUGH THE AREA THIS EVENING...EXPECTING
COVERAGE OF PRECIP TO INCREASE ALTHOUGH REMAINING FAIRLY LIGHT IN
INTENSITY. WITH SOUTHEAST LOW LEVEL WINDS...WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO
ADVECT SOME SLIGHTLY WARMER LOW LEVEL TEMPERATURES NORTHWARD WHICH
COULD ALLOW FOR THE RAIN/SLEET TO TRANSITION TO MORE FREEZING
RAIN REPORTS. COVERAGE OF PRECIP SHOULD BEGIN TO DIMINISH AFTER
THE 06Z-08Z AS FORCING WITH THIS UPPER WAVE BEGINS TO LIFT
NORTHWARD INTO SOUTHERN WISCONSIN. COULD HAVE SOME RESIDUAL LIGHT
FREEZING DRIZZLE FOR A FEW HOURS IN THE WAKE OF THIS SHORT WAVE
HOWEVER LATE TONIGHT.

GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS CURRENTLY BEING REPORTED EVEN WITH THE
LIGHT PRECIPITATION...HOWEVER IFR CONDITIONS NOT ALL THAT FAR
SOUTH...ACROSS CENTRAL ILLINOIS. MAINTENANCE OF EASTERLY FLOW
OVERNIGHT WILL MAKE IT A TOUGH CALL AS TO HOW LOW TO GO WITH CIGS.
SOME DRY LOW LEVEL AIR ACROSS OHIO RIVER VALLEY WILL LIKELY
CONTINUE TO ADVECT WESTWARD INTO FAR NORTHERN ILLINOIS
OVERNIGHT...SO HAVE CONTINUED TO HOLD OFF ON IFR CIGS...AND
TRANSITIONED TO MAINLY LOWER END MVFR CIGS LATE THIS EVENING INTO
THE OVERNIGHT. WITH SFC LOW PRESSURE TRACKING ACROSS MID MS RIVER
VALLEY TOMORROW...EAST WINDS WILL BE MAINTAINED THROUGH THE
PERIOD...THOUGH LIKELY BACKING A BIT TO EAST NORTHEAST THURSDAY
AFTERNOON.

INDIANA. THE WIND WILL CONTINUE FROM THE EAST TODAY AND TONIGHT.
SOME FREEZING RAIN...SLEET AND FOG ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT MAINLY IN THE SOUTH HALF OF LAKE MICHIGAN. A LOW OVER
NORTHWEST MISSOURI WILL SLOWLY DISSIPATE AND A STRONGER LOW WILL
DEVELOP OVER OKLAHOMA BY THURSDAY MORNING. THIS LOW WILL MOVE
ACROSS KENTUCKY THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT AND WILL REDEVELOP ON
THE VIRGINIA COAST BY FRIDAY MORNING. THIS WILL GIVE AN EAST WIND
OVER LAKE MICHIGAN THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON. BY SATURDAY MORNING
ANOTHER LOW WILL DEEPEN IN SOUTH DAKOTA AND THE WIND OVER LAKE
MICHIGAN WILL BECOME SOUTH. SOME GUSTS MAY REACH 30 KNOTS SATURDAY
