Flash Flooding and Flood in Indiana, May 11 to 12, 2014

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL
555 PM CDT SUN MAY 11 2014

.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
550 PM CDT

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT CONTINUES ACROSS THE AREA. A LOCAL
EXPANSION OF THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH HAS BEEN DONE TO
INCLUDE THE FAR SOUTHEAST COUNTY WARNING AREA.

STORMS SOME OF WHICH ARE SEVERE CONTINUE TO PROPAGATE EAST
FEEDING ON UNCAPPED AND VERY UNSTABLE AIR...WITH MLCAPE VALUES OF
2000-3000 J/KG ACROSS THE AREA. THIS AREA NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT
HAD DEVELOPED FAIRLY STEEP LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES PER AMDAR
SOUNDINGS AND THUS INCREASED SOME OF THE WIND POTENTIAL. RADAR HAS
ALSO INDICATED SOME OUTFLOWS QUICKLY RACING OUT FROM THESE STORMS
AS EVIDENCE TO THIS. WIND AND HAIL THREATS CONTINUE WITH THE
STRONGEST CORES...INCLUDING ONE APPROACHING DOWNTOWN CHICAGO AS OF
550 PM.

AN ARC OF SEVERE STORMS FROM NEAR KEWANEE EAST SOUTHEAST TOWARD
WATSEKA IS LIFTING SLOWLY NORTHEAST. THIS IS JUST AHEAD OF REMNANT
MCV. AS MID-LEVEL WINDS PICK UP FROM THE WEST...OVERALL
SHEAR/INSTABILITY SPECTRUM WILL CONTINUE TO FAVOR SEVERE
POTENTIAL WITH THESE AS WELL...WITH MODE LIKELY CONTINUING TO
SHIFT TO LESS DISCRETE AS MESOSCALE COLD POOLS INTERACT.

IN ADDITION...A HEAVY RAIN AND POSSIBLE FLOODING THREAT MAY
TEMPORARILY EVOLVE EARLY THIS EVE NEAR THE I-80 CORRIDOR AS THIS
AFOREMENTIONED ARC OF STORMS BECOMES MORE WEST-TO-EAST ORIENTED
AHEAD OF MCV. COULD BE A 1-3 HOUR EPISODE OF MODERATE TO HEAVY
RAINFALL RATES. THIS IS BEING MONITORED CLOSELY.

THE SECONDARY WARM FRONT CONTINUES TO REMAIN PRIMARILY TO THE
SOUTH OF THE AREA AND SOMEWHAT DIFFUSE. WHILE PRESSURE FALLS AND
HIGHER DEW POINT AIR IS EVOLVING INTO THE SOUTHERN FORECAST
AREA...THE DEGREE OF BACKING WINDS HAS NOT BEEN THAT
NOTEWORTHY...AND THUS THE TORNADO THREAT IS DIMINISHING. STILL A
NONZERO CHANCE THOUGH...MAINLY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80 AND WEST OF
ILLINOIS HIGHWAY 47.

.DISCUSSION...
300 PM CDT

FORECAST CONCERNS ARE MAINLY ON THE IMMEDIATE SEVERE WEATHER
CHANCES THROUGH EARLY/MID EVENING. ALSO FOCUS ON THE SEVERE
WEATHER POTENTIAL ON MONDAY...PRIMARILY MONDAY LATE AFTERNOON INTO
THE NIGHTTIME PERIOD.

OVERNIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING...
STRONG UPPER JET WILL PROPAGATE AROUND THE UPPER TROUGH LATE
TONIGHT INTO THE MORNING ON MONDAY AND WITH THAT LEAD TO FURTHER
AMPLIFYING OF THE UPSTREAM RIDGE...INCLUDING BUILDING HEIGHTS
ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. MUCH OF THE FORCING FOR
RAIN/STORMS IN THIS PERIOD WOULD BE FOCUSED TO THE WEST AND NORTH
IN SUCH A PATTERN. THE STRONG LOW-LEVEL JET WILL AT LEAST IN PART
BE OVER THE AREA...HOWEVER THE NOSE OF IT WILL BE POINTED FURTHER
NORTH. CONVECTIVE CHANCES LOOK MINIMAL AND MAINLY THE NORTHWEST
FORECAST AREA TOWARD ROCKFORD. CHANCES MAY BE INCREASED SOMEWHAT
IF ANY ORGANIZED CONVECTION FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS WERE TO
PROPAGATE EASTWARD INTO NORTHERN IL...BUT THE GRADUALLY MORE
MERIDIONAL FLOW AND ORIENTATION OF FORECAST CORFIDI VECTORS WOULD
PUSH MUCH OF THE CONVECTION NORTH OF THE AREA. LOW TEMPS WILL BE
BALMY WITH CONTINUED SOUTHERLY FLOW AND HIGH DEW POINT AIR...WITH
SOME PLACES EXPERIENCING SOME WARMING OF TEMPS LATER THIS
EVENING...ESPECIALLY THOSE IMPACTED BY EARLY EVE CONVECTION AND
THOSE COMMUNITIES NEAR THE LAKE SHORE THAT HAD AFTERNOON/EVE
COOLING.

MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY...
THE UPPER TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO AMPLIFY AS THE UPPER JET TO ITS
FRONT AND BACK INTENSITY. A WARM AND MUGGY DAY IS ANTICIPATED
MONDAY. CONVECTIVE INHIBITION ON MONDAY AFTERNOON DOES LOOK TO BE
OVERCOME BUT A FOCUS IS NOT OVERLY EVIDENT IN OUR FORECAST AREA.
GRADUALLY MORE CONVERGENCE AND INCREASING DEEP LAYER MOISTURE AND
UPWARD MOTION IS FORECAST TO MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS MAINLY NORTH
CENTRAL ILLINOIS LATE IN THE DAY INTO EARLY EVE AND EASE ITS WAY
EASTWARD THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT. THIS LOOKS LIKE A
PERIOD OF STORMS MOVING NORTHEAST WITHIN THE DEEP MOIST PLUME.
THE SEVERE POTENTIAL WOULD SEEM MOST FAVORED WITH THE INITIAL
CONVECTION IN THE LATE AFTERNOON/EVE AND THEN A GENERAL WANING
LATER INTO THE NIGHT. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE PROBABLE IN
SOME OF THESE STORMS AS THE PWATS ARE FORECAST TO BE AROUND 1.50
INCHES AND DEEP MOISTURE CONVERGENCE WILL BE ORIENTED PARALLEL TO
THE UPPER FLOW. THIS PLUME WILL SHIFT EASTWARD THROUGH TUESDAY
MORNING AND LIKELY POPS CERTAINLY SEEM JUSTIFIED TUESDAY MORNING. IF
THE FRONT IS SLOW ENOUGH SOME AFTERNOON ENHANCEMENT OF A FEW STORMS
COULD HAPPEN IN THE EAST...BUT THIS SEEMS MOST FAVORED EAST OF THE
FORECAST AREA AT THIS TIME.

THE COLD AIR ADVECTION WITH THE COLD FRONT...ALONG WITH POTENTIALLY
SOME ANAFRONTAL SHOWERS...WILL LIKELY LEAD TO FALLING TEMPS IN SOME
PLACES AT LEAST AT TIMES ON TUESDAY.

WEDNESDAY AND BEYOND...
LITTLE CHANGES MADE TO THIS PART OF THE FORECAST DUE TO ONGOING
HIGHER IMPACT WEATHER. LARGE MODEL DIFFERENCES EXIST IN THE WED-THU
TIME FRAME...WITH THE 12Z EC COMING IN SLOWER AND MORE AGGRESSIVE
WITH A LOW RIDING UP THE BAROCLINIC ZONE TO OUR EAST. THIS PROVIDES
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY THURSDAY AND
PARTICULARY COOL TEMPS. WITH AN EC/GFS/GOING FORECAST BLEND THIS
PROVIDES A FEW PERIODS OF CHANCE POPS.

TEMPS TO LOOK TO BE BELOW NORMAL NO MATTER WHICH MODEL VERIFIES IN
THE WED-FRI TIME FRAME. IF CONDITIONS CLEAR AND SURFACE RIDGING
MOVES OVER...POSSIBLY THU NIGHT...THERE PROBABLY WILL BE A CONCERN
FOR FROST.

* LAKE BREEZE TURNING WINDS TO THE E/ESE LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR
  EVENING.

BMD/RODRIGUEZ

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

COMPLEX WEATHER SITUATION WILL BRING A COUPLE DECENT CHANCES FOR
THUNDERSTORMS THIS FORECAST PERIOD...AS WELL AS CHANGING WIND
CONDITIONS. TODAY LOW PRESSURE IS TAKING SHAPE WITH AN ILL-DEFINED
WARM FRONT LIFTING NORTH ACROSS ILLINOIS. THE NEXT FEW HOURS SHOULD
BE RELATIVELY QUIET AT THE TERMINALS WITH A LIGHT SOUTH WIND AND VFR
CONDITIONS. VERY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS ARE DEVELOPING HOWEVER...AND
ALREADY SEEING SIGNS ON SATELLITE IMAGERY OF DEEPENING CLOUD GROWTH
OVER PORTIONS OF MISSOURI AND IOWA. THE THUNDERSTORMS ALREADY IN
PLACE ACROSS SOUTHERN IOWA ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE EAST
TODAY...ALONG WITH NEW DEVELOPMENT AHEAD WHICH WILL THEN LIFT
EAST/NORTHEAST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. COVERAGE REMAINS
UNCERTAIN...HOWEVER GIVEN THE RELATIVELY WEAK SYNOPTIC FORCING WOULD
EXPECT IT TO BE SOMEWHAT SCATTERED IN NATURE. ANY THUNDERSTORMS
THAT DO DEVELOP HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE STRONG TO SEVERE WITH
HAIL AND VERY GUSTY WINDS. WHILE THERE WILL LIKELY BE TIMING
ADJUSTMENTS AS WE NEAR THE EVENT...STILL FEEL THE BEST TIME FOR
TSRA AT THE TERMINALS WILL BE MID TO LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE
EVENING.

IN ADDITION TO CONCERNS FOR TSRA THIS AFTERNOON...THERE ALSO REMAINS
THE POSSIBILITY OF A WIND SHIFT TO THE EAST DUE TO A LAKE BREEZE.
COASTAL OBS REMAIN SOUTHERLY THIS HOUR SO THERE IS NO SIGN OF
DEVELOPMENT YET...AND WINDS WILL BE OF MARGINAL STRENGTH FOR A LAKE
BREEZE TO MAKE IT ALL THE WAY INLAND TO THE TERMINALS. THIS MEANS
THAT THERE IS LOW CERTAINTY ON THE WIND DIRECTION THIS AFTERNOON.
SEVERAL HIGHER RES MODELS CONTINUE TO BRING IT THROUGH SO WOULD
PREFER TO NOT MAKE ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES AT THIS TIME. FURTHER
COMPLICATING MATTERS WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOPING ON ANY LAKE BREEZE THAT DEVELOPS WHICH COULD THEN GET
AN ASSIST FROM OUTFLOWS THAT DEVELOP.

ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE AGAIN MONDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING
AND AGAIN COULD BE STRONG...BUT CURRENT TIMING PLACES IT BEYOND THE
CURRENT FORECAST PERIOD.

BMD

//ORD AND MDW CONFIDENCE...UPDATED 22Z...

.MARINE...
242 PM...LOW PRESSURE OVER KANSAS WILL MOVE NORTHEAST TO LAKE
SUPERIOR TUESDAY MORNING. AS IT DOES...A WARM FRONT EXTENDING EAST
FROM THE LOW WILL MOVE NORTH ACROSS THE LAKE TONIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT...SHIFTING EASTERLY WINDS SOUTHERLY. LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL ALSO BE INCREASING AND AS IT SPREADS ACROSS THE
COOLER LAKE...AREAS OF FOG ARE POSSIBLE AND SOME OF THE FOG MAY
BECOME DENSE. CURRENT WIND SPEEDS ARE FAIRLY LIGHT IN THE 5-15 KT
RANGE AND WILL INCREASE INTO THE 15-25KT RANGE AND REMAIN THERE
UNTIL A COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE LAKE TUESDAY MORNING. THERE IS
A POTENTIAL FOR WINDS TO BE A BIT STRONGER ON MONDAY...ESPECIALLY
WITH THE EASTERLY FLOW NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT ACROSS NORTHERN
LAKE MICHIGAN. THERE REMAINS UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE POTENTIAL
FOR STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY AS LOW
PRESSURE DEEPENS MOVING NORTH ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES REGION. THIS
TIME PERIOD WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED FOR HIGHER NORTHERLY WIND
SPEEDS. CMS

425 PM CDT SUN MAY 11 2014 /525 PM EDT SUN MAY 11 2014/

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS...
NORTHEAST ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.

  WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED:

  PERIODS OF THUNDERSTORMS...SOME COULD BE SEVERE WITH:
    HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF GOLF BALLS.
    DAMAGING WINDS OVER 60 MPH.
    TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS.
    FREQUENT LIGHTNING.
    ALONG WITH SOME TORNADO POTENTIAL.

  AREAS AFFECTED AND TIMING:

  NUMEROUS THUNDERSTORMS...INCLUDING SOME SEVERE...WILL TRACK
  EASTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA THROUGH
  10 PM. THERE IS SOME TORNADO POTENTIAL FOR MAINLY LOCATIONS
  SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 88 AND WEST OF ILLINOIS HIGHWAY 47...AND
  PRIMARILY BEFORE 8 PM.

  SOME SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS MAY CONTINUE ACROSS MAINLY FAR
  NORTHERN ILLINOIS LATE THIS EVENING INTO OVERNIGHT. THE SEVERE
  WEATHER POTENTIAL WILL BE LESS.

  DISCUSSION:

  A WARM FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTH ACROSS THE AREA THIS
  EVENING. HIGH MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH THIS WILL
  FUEL STORMS...SOME OF WHICH WILL BE ORGANIZED AND CAPABLE OF
  SEVERE WEATHER. AS THE WARM FRONT MOVES NORTH OF THE AREA BY
  LATER EVENING...THE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL SHOULD WANE.

  THE PRIMARY HAZARD APPEARS TO BE LARGE HAIL...POSSIBLY UP TO THE
  SIZE OF GOLF BALLS OR PERHAPS A BIT LARGER IN SPOTS. ANY ORGANIZED
  STORM CLUSTERS WILL ALSO BE CAPABLE OF DAMAGING WINDS. THE CHANCE
  FOR A TORNADO OR TWO IS PRIMARILY CONFINED TO NEAR THE WARM FRONT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY...MAINLY ACROSS NORTHERN
ILLINOIS...WITH THE POTENTIAL INCREASING MONDAY NIGHT. THERE IS A
THREAT OF ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT...MAINLY ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS. THERE IS A SLIGHT
CHANCE THAT THUNDERSTORMS COULD LINGER THROUGH EARLY TUESDAY AFTERNOON
OVER NORTHWEST INDIANA.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS REQUESTED ACROSS THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH
AREA THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING.
