AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
812 AM CST SAT NOV 23 2013
.DISCUSSION...
308 AM CST
THE VERY COLD AIR IS RIGHT ON OUR DOOR STEP EARLY THIS MORNING. THE
MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON THE UNSEASONABLE COLD
CONDITIONS EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA TODAY AND ON SUNDAY.
THE ARCTIC FRONT IS CURRENTLY ENTERING FAR NORTHERN ILLINOIS AS OF
THIS WRITING...AND THIS FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT SOUTHWARD
ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THE EARLY MORNING HOURS TODAY. ONCE THE
FRONT PASSES...EXPECT THE WINDS TO QUICKLY INCREASE OUT OF THE
NORTHWEST. A STRONG AREA OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE...CURRENTLY AROUND
1050 MB ACROSS NORTHWESTERN NORTH DAKOTA...WILL BUILD SOUTHWARD DOWN
THE MISSOURI RIVER VALLEY THROUGH THE DAY TODAY. AS THIS
OCCURS...THIS WILL DEVELOP A RATHER STOUT SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT
ACROSS THE REGION. THIS GRADIENT WILL LIKELY SUPPORT WIND SPEEDS OF
20 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 35 MPH FOR MUCH OF THE DAY. THE
COMBINATION OF THESE WINDS WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID
20S...WILL RESULT IN WIND CHILLS OF 5 TO 10 ABOVE NORTH TO 10 TO 15
ABOVE SOUTH.
IN ADDITION TO THE STRONG COLD WINDS...A SHEARED MID LEVEL
DISTURBANCE...CURRENTLY NOTED IN THE WATER VAPOR IMAGERY DROPPING
SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS SOUTHERN MN...COULD PRODUCE ENOUGH LIFT TO
RESULT IN SOME LIGHT SNOW FLURRIES THIS MORNING AS THE COLDER AIR
ARRIVES. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS ALREADY UPSTREAM
ACROSS WI...AND I SEE NO REASON WHY THIS WILL NOT CONTINUE SOUTHWARD
THIS MORNING. ALTHOUGH THIS WILL NOT BE MUCH OF AN IMPACT...I DID
ADD SOME ISOLATED FLURRIES IN THROUGH MID MORNING. WITH PLENTY OF
STRATOCU CU EXPECTED IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT...I ALSO INCREASED SKY
COVER TO GO PARTLY SUNNY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY THIS MORNING...TRENDING
MORE PARTLY CLOUDY THIS AFTERNOON.
TONIGHT STILL APPEARS TO BE A VERY COLD NIGHT...ESPECIALLY ACROSS
WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE AREA. THE SURFACE HIGH IS EXPECTED TO BECOME
CENTERED ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI BY 12 UTC SUNDAY...WHICH WILL
LIKELY ALLOW FOR ENOUGH OF A GRADIENT TO KEEP SOME NORTHWEST WINDS
GOING ACROSS NORTHEASTERN ILLINOIS AND NORTHWESTERN INDIANA. THIS
SHOULD ALLOW FOR SLIGHTLY WARMER CONDITIONS HERE...BUT OUT WEST
ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS...THE WINDS SHOULD DIMINISH SOME
OVERNIGHT...AND THIS SHOULD ALLOW TEMPS TO DROP INTO THE SINGLE
DIGITS. FARTHER EAST TOWARDS THE CHICAGO AREA...TEMPERATURES ARE
STILL EXPECTED TO DROP IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE TEENS.
THESE VERY COLD CONDITIONS WILL SUPPORT SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS
LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT. HOWEVER...WITH A NORTHWESTERLY BOUNDARY
LAYER FLOW OVER THE LAKE...MUCH OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN TO THE
EAST OF MY AREA...WITH ONLY NORTHEASTERN PORTER COUNTY POSSIBLY
GETTING SOME LIGHTER SNOW.
THIS COLD START TO SUNDAY WILL LIKELY ONLY ALLOW TEMPS TO REBOUND
INTO THE MIDDLE TO PERHAPS UPPER 20S SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THE SURFACE
FLOW SHOULD TURN SOUTHWESTERLY SUNDAY AFTERNOON AS THE SURFACE HIGH
CONTINUES TO SHIFT SOUTHEASTWARD TOWARDS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. WIND
SPEEDS WILL LIKELY INCREASE SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...SO THIS
SHOULD NOT ALLOW TEMPS TO DROP OFF MUCH SUNDAY NIGHT.
A CLIPPER SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO TRACK ACROSS SOUTHERN ONTARIO INTO
MONDAY. AS IT DOES SO...IT SHOULD SET UP SOME STIFF SOUTHWESTERLY
FLOW AS THE SURFACE GRADIENT STRENGTHENS BETWEEN THE CLIPPER AND
THE SURFACE HIGH SETTING UP ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN CONUS. THIS
INCREASE IN SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW APPEARS THAT IT WILL ALSO SET UP
SOME GOOD ISENTROPIC ASCENT ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS ON MONDAY.
THIS COMBINED WITH A GLANCING BLOW OF SOME OF THE BETTER 500-300
MB Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE...COMPLEMENTS OF THE UPPER DISTURBANCE
DIGGING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES...MAY BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE SOME
LIGHT SNOW ACROSS THE AREA ON MONDAY. OVERALL...THIS WILL NOT BE A
BIG SNOW MAKER FOR US AS IT APPEARS THAT MOISTURE WILL BE
SOMEWHAT LIMITED. ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM EXPECTED TO BE TAKING SHAPE
ACROSS THE GULF COAST REGION MAY ROB A LOT OF THE BETTER MOISTURE.
HOWEVER...THERE COULD CERTAINLY BE ENOUGH FORCING AND MOISTURE TO
RESULT IN SOME LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS THE AREA ON MONDAY...SO
THIS WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED. I HAVE INCREASED POPS INTO THE
HIGH END CHANCE CATEGORY...MAINLY FOR NORTHERN ILLINOIS...CLOSER
TO THE BETTER UPPER FORCING.
ANOTHER DECENT REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR WILL DROP ACROSS THE
REGION BY TUESDAY AS THE CLIPPER SYSTEM DROPS ANOTHER COLD FRONT
ACROSS THE AREA. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE THAT SOME FLURRIES COULD
ACCOMPANY THIS COLDER AIR INTO TUESDAY...ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT
ANOTHER MID LEVEL DISTURBANCE IS EXPECTED TO QUICKLY TRANSITION
SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE AREA. THIS COULD AGAIN RESULT IN ENOUGH
FORCING TO SQUEEZE OUT SOME LIGHT SNOW FLURRIES.
WITH THIS NEXT COLD PUSH...ANOTHER SURFACE HIGH WILL LIKELY SHIFT
SOUTHEAST SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES INTO MIDWEEK. THE
NORTHERLY FLOW THIS SETS UP COULD PRODUCE SOME MORE LAKE EFFECT SNOW
INTO NORTHWESTERN INDIANA BY WEDNESDAY.
TOWARDS THE END OF NEXT WEEK...THE PARADE OF CLIPPER SYSTEMS WILL
CONTINUE...WITH YET ANOTHER ONE EXPECTED TO TRANSITIONS TO OUR NORTH
BY LATE WEEK. TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD LOOK TO CONTINUE ON
THE COLD SIDE OF NORMAL...WITH ONLY A SLOW MODERATION EXPECTED LATER
IN THE WEEK.

.MARINE...
145 AM CST
THE ACTIVE LATE AUTUMN PATTERN CONTINUES OVER THE GREAT LAKES WITH
AN ONGOING GALE TODAY FOLLOWING A COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE THAT OCCURRED
LAST NIGHT. ROBUST ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS
THIS MORNING WILL BUILD SOUTHEAST AND KEEP A FAIRLY TIGHT PRESSURE
GRADIENT OVER THE LAKE. THIS WILL BE ENHANCED ONE AGAIN SUNDAY NIGHT
AS A LOW PRESSURE...OF 40 MB DIFFERENCE FROM THE HIGH
CENTER...SLIDES ACROSS THE CANADIAN PRAIRIE PROVINCES INTO ONTARIO.
WHILE IT WILL BE WARMER AIR RETURNING AHEAD OF THE LOW ON SUNDAY
NIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY...THAT AIR WILL STILL BE FAR COOLER THAN THE
LAKE SURFACE TEMPERATURES SETTING THE STAGE FOR DEEP MIXING WITHIN
THAT PRESSURE GRADIENT. SOME GUSTS NEARING STORM FORCE ARE POSSIBLE
ACROSS THE NORTH. AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL THEN MOVE ACROSS THE
LAKE MONDAY NIGHT AND THAT TOO MAY CONTINUE SOME GALES. USING THE
CIPS ANALOGS THERE ARE A COUPLE PAST EVENTS WITH SIMILAR LOW AND
HIGH PRESSURE PLACEMENT AS TO MONDAY MORNING...THOUGH NOT AS SHARP
OF A PRESSURE DIFFERENCE. THEY DO SHOW AT LEAST GALES ALONG THE
MICHIGAN SHORE SO GALES SHOULD BE PRETTY MUCH A DEFINITE OVER THE
OPEN WATER BY DAYBREAK MONDAY. HIGH PRESSURE THEN LOOKS TO MOVE OVER
THE LAKE BY WEDNESDAY INTO THE HOLIDAY.
