Damaging Winds and Lightning Strike in Indiana, August 4, 2012

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
311 PM CDT SAT AUG 4 2012

.DISCUSSION...
256 PM CDT

IMMEDIATE CONCERN IS THE ONGOING CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY AND THE CONCERN
FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY THIS EVENING.

ONGOING CONVECTION PRODUCED AN MCV WHICH GENERATED A LINE OF
THUNDERSTORMS OVER CENTRAL AND EASTERN IOWA.  THE ENVIRONMENT OUT
AHEAD OF THE THUNDERSTORMS OVER ILLINOIS AND INDIANA IS VERY
WARM...HUMID AND UNSTABLE.  AS OF 19Z...MUCAPE VALUES WERE OVER 3000
J/KG WITH AN AREA IN EXCESS OF 4000 J/KG POOLING ALONG A WARM FRONT
PUSHING NWD INTO THE FAR WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA.
UPSTREAM...THESE STORMS HAVE A HISTORY OF PRODUCING WINDS IN EXCESS
OF 60 MPH AND VERY HEAVY RAINFALL...WITH UP TO 2 INCHES FALLING IN A
30 MINUTE PERIOD.  EXPECT THE ACTIVITY TO TRACK EASTERLY FOR THE
NEXT FEW HOURS.  WITH MEAN LAYER FLOW TURNING A LITTLE SOUTH OF EAST
LATER THIS AFTERNOON...THE THUNDERSTORMS COULD TAKE A SLIGHT RIGHT
TURN SO THE THUNDER SHOULD IMPACT ALMOST ALL OF THE CWA...HITTING
THE ROCKFORD METRO AREA BY AROUND 3PM AND THE CHICAGO METRO AREA
BETWEEN 430PM AND 5PM.  THE MAIN SEVERE THREAT WITH THESE STORMS
REMAINS DAMAGING WINDS UP TO 70MPH. WITH PWATS EXPECTED TO BE 2 TO
2.5 INCHES AS THE STORMS MOVE THROUGH...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WITH
THE POSSIBILITY FOR 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAINFALL IN A 30 MINUTE
PERIOD.  THIS AMOUNT OF RAIN FALLING IN SUCH A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME
MAY LEAD TO LOCALIZED FLOODING...ESPECIALLY IN URBANIZED AREAS.
THERE IS ALSO AN ISOLATED LARGE HAIL THREAT WITH THE
STORMS...ESPECIALLY AT THE INTERSECTION OF THE WARM FRONT AND THE
MAIN CONVECTIVE BOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE MCV.  THIS LOCATION WOULD BE
MORE CONDUCIVE TO THE ROTATING STRONG UPDRAFTS NECESSARY TO SUPPORT
LARGE HAIL.  THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY HAS A STRONG DIURNAL
INFLUENCE...SO...EXPECT THAT THE STORMS SHOULD BEGIN TO DIMINISH IN
INTENSITY TOWARD SUNSET.  THE CURRENT SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS
IN EFFECT THROUGH 01Z...AT WHICH TIME THE STORMS SHOULD EITHER
WEAKEN OR PUSH EAST OF THE NWRN INDIANA COUNTIES OF THE CWA.

FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENING AND THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...THERE IS
A CHANCE OF SOME LINGERING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE LATE
NIGHT HOURS AS THE MAIN COLD FRONT PUSHES THROUGH THE REGION.
EXPECT THAT ALL PCPN POTENTIAL SHOULD END DURG THE EARLY MORNING
HOURS AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OUT OF THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
AND ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA.  FOLLOWING THE VERY WARM...HUMID
CONDITIONS OF TODAY...WITH HIGHS IN THE MIDDLE 90S AND DEWPOINTS IN
THE 70S...SUNDAY SHOULD FEEL ALMOST COOL...WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE
LOW TO MIDDLE 80S AND DEWPOINTS IN THE 50S.

FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK...UPPER LEVEL RIDGING EXTENDING FROM WEST TEXAS
THROUGH THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND A POLAR LOW OVER HUDSON BAY WILL
SET UP NORTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT...AND THE JET STREAM WELL INTO
CANADA...EXPECT LITTLE CHANCE FOR ANY ADDITIONAL PCPN.  AS THE SFC
HIGH BUILDS TO THE EAST...TEMPERATURES WILL BE ON THE RISE
AGAIN...BUT WITH A RELATIVELY DRY AIRMASS EXPECTED TO BE IN
PLACE...DO NOT EXPECT EXTREME HEAT...WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 80S TO
LOWER 90S AND DEWPOINTS IN THE 50S.  A GENERALLY WEAK SFC PRESSURE
PATTERN FOR THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK SHOULD ALLOW FOR PERIODIC LAKE
BREEZE DEVELOPMENT...KEEPING THE IMMEDIATE LAKEFRONT LOCATIONS A BIT
COOLER.  THE ONLY DAY WHERE THERE WILL BE LESS OF A CHANCE FOR A
LAKE BREEZE WILL BE TUESDAY AS A WEAK COLD FRONT DROPS OUT OF THE
UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND INTO NRN IL/IN.  THE ASSOCIATED UPPER
TROUGH SHOULD DIG INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES.  THE WEAK SFC FORCING
ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONT SHOULD BE ADEQUATE FOR A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...BUT ACTIVITY WOULD BE CONFINED
TO THE FAR NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA AS THE STRONGEST UPPER LEVEL
FORCING WITH BE CONFINED TO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES.
OTHERWISE...TEMPERATURES THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK SHOULD BE
SEASONABLE...WITH OTHERWISE...LITTLE OPPORTUNITY FOR ANY SIGNIFICANT
PCPN.

.AVIATION...

//ORD AND MDW CONCERNS...UPDATED 20Z...

* HEAVY TSRA WITH GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS POTENTIALLY IN EXCESS OF
  45 KT BETWEEN 21Z AND 2230Z.

* WIND DIRECTION IN THE IMMEDIATE WAKE OF THE STORMS POTENTIALLY
  BECOMING NE TO E FOR AN HOUR OR TWO AND REMAINING GUSTY.

* LINGERING MVFR CIGS FOR A COUPLE TO FEW HOURS POSSIBLE.

* REDEVELOPING ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STORMS THIS EVE.

//DISCUSSION...UPDATED 20Z...

WELL-ORGANIZED COMPLEX OF STRONG WIND PRODUCING STORMS MARCHING
EAST ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL IL AT 1945Z AT A QUICK PACE AND MORE
RAPID THAN EARLIER THOUGHTS. RECENT GUSTS OF 42 KT AT KSQI AND 36
KT AT KFEP HAVE BEEN OBSERVED /AND THESE MAY NOT BE THE MAXIMUM AT
THESE STIES/. THE STORMS WILL CONTINUE EASTWARD WITH RADAR AND
ENVIRONMENT FAVORING THEM TO REMAIN AT THE SAME INTENSITY LEVEL.
GUSTS MAY END UP BEING HIGHER THAN INITIALLY MENTIONED IN THE
TEMPOS OF THE TAFS...BUT HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT GUSTY WINDS FROM
THESE STORMS WILL AT LEAST REACH THE TERMINALS. SUCH WELL-
ORGANIZED STORMS CAN OFTEN HAVE WINDS TURN EASTERLY ON THE
BACKSIDE AND THAT MAY BE A CONCERN FROM 22Z-00Z.

//DISCUSSION...UPDATED 18Z...

MAIN CONCERN IS A LINE OF TSRA THAT CONTINUES TO PUSH EAST ACROSS
CENTRAL IA. THIS LINE HAS BEEN PRODUCING WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF
50KTS...AND BASED ON CONDS AHEAD OF THIS LINE OVER NORTHERN
IL/NORTHWEST IN IT APPEARS THESE SAME OBSERVATIONS MAY OCCUR
LATER. CURRENT GUIDANCE HAS CONTINUED TO DEVIATE FROM THE OBS
DATA...SO HAVE OPTED TO LEVERAGE THE CURRENT TAF TOWARDS THE
CURRENT CONDS. THIS SUGGESTS SOME SPOTTY CONVECTION AHEAD OF THE
MAIN LINE MAY OCCUR...SO INCLUDED AN HR OF VCTS AT 19Z FOR RFD AND
22Z FOR ORD/MDW. THEN THE MAIN LINE OF TSRA ARRIVES ABOUT AN HR
LATER...AND SHUD PUSH THRU AIRFIELDS WITHIN A COUPLE OF HOURS.

GUIDANCE DOES PICK UP ON THE PROGRESSIVE NATURE OF THE
CONVECTION...WHICH SUGGESTS CONVECTION SHUD BE OVER FOR RFD ARND
22-23Z. ORD/MDW/GYY WILL CONTINUE TO SEE TSRA UNTIL 01Z.

THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THE TSRA WILL BE DAMAGING WIND GUSTS IN
EXCESS OF 55KTS. BASED ON OBS ACROSS CENTRAL IA...THIS APPEARS TO
BE A HIGH CONFIDENCE ACROSS NORTHERN IL/NORTHWEST IN.

FRONTAL BNDRY PUSHES THRU AND WINDS BECOME NORTHWEST/NORTH...WITH
CONSIDERABLE DRY AIR ARRIVING AS WELL. THIS DRY AIR SHUD HELP
ERODE LINGERING CLOUDS OVERNIGHT.

//ORD AND MDW CONFIDENCE...UPDATED 20Z...

* HIGH CONFIDENCE IN GUSTY WEST WINDS OCCURRING WITH TSRA AND HIGH
  CONFIDENCE IN TEMPO TIMING.

* LOW CONFIDENCE ON WIND DIRECTION IN THE WAKE OF THESE STORMS AND
  TIMING/DURATION. THE WINDS ARE LIKELY TO BE OF A NORTHERLY
  COMPONENT...BUT MAY BE AS FAR BACKED AS ENE TO E.

* MEDIUM CONFIDENCE ON CIGS DURING AND IN THE WAKE OF STORMS.

* MEDIUM CONFIDENCE ON PRECIP TRENDS THIS EVENING...WITH
  REDEVELOPMENT MOST FAVORED TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE TERMINALS.

//OUTLOOK FOR ORD/MDW FOR 00Z MONDAY-12Z SATURDAY...UPDATED 12Z...

SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...VFR.

THURSDAY...SLIGHT CHANCE OF TSRA OTHERWISE VFR.

FRIDAY...VFR.

.MARINE...

311 PM...FAIRLY STRONG LOW PRESSURE FOR EARLY AUGUST LIFTING
NORTHEAST ACROSS ONTARIO THIS AFTERNOON WITH A COLD FRONT
EXTENDING ACROSS THE WESTERN LAKES AND THE PLAINS. SOUTHERLY WINDS
WILL SHIFT WESTERLY BEHIND THIS FRONT THIS EVENING THEN TURN MORE
NORTHWEST OVERNIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING ACROSS THE PLAINS WILL
TIGHTEN THE GRADIENT ACROSS THE LAKE SUNDAY MORNING WITH SPEEDS TO
30 KTS LIKELY. THE GRADIENT WILL REMAIN STRONGEST AND LONGEST
ACROSS THE NORTHERN THIRD OR SO OF THE LAKE WHERE A FEW GUSTS TO
LOW END GALES ARE POSSIBLE BUT NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH FOR ANY
HEADLINES AT THIS TIME BUT WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED THROUGH THE
NIGHT. WINDS WILL DIMINISH SOUTH TO NORTH LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON
INTO SUNDAY NIGHT AS THE HIGH SPREADS EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
LAKES. ANOTHER COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTH ACROSS THE
LAKES REGION TUESDAY. CMS
