Damaging Winds in Illinois, June 21, 2022

...00z AVIATION UPDATE...

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 237 PM CDT Tue Jun 21 2022

Hot and humid weather is focused over the CWA today, as temperatures
have reached the mid 90s with dewpoints in the lower 70s.  Heat
index readings of 100 to 107 are common. ACARS soundings over Iowa
show that we have around 3000-3500 CAPE with cap around 800mb, of
about -50 CIN. It appears that additional heating and surface
convergence along the front will be sufficient to get storms going,
and that may be explosive.  Storm threats of wind will be the
primary mode, as we have little deep layer shear to support
prolonged severe.  Thus, cold pools will be the driver of winds, but
that same process should choke out storm updrafts rather quickly
today and tonight.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Wednesday)
ISSUED AT 237 PM CDT Tue Jun 21 2022

Guidance is quite varied on storm position, so I'll just nowcast the
existing frontal position eastward with the expected flare up of
storms early this evening. By 9 PM, decaying storms should be moving
over Illinois, and dropping south to Missouri in a non severe mode.

The heat advisory conditions will last until the storms move
through, and with cold pools spreading well out ahead of storms, we
should see relief, even in areas that don't see rainfall. Spotty
rainfall amounts over 1 inch are likely, but widespread rains are
not expected, due to the pop and drop nature of the storms. If you
get a good rain, you are going to be lucky tonight.

Wednesday, will see dry advection through the day, and while
temperatures will still be warm, in the 80s, we'll see much drier
air, with dewpoints in the upper 50s, possibly mid 50s.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday Night through Tuesday)
ISSUED AT 237 PM CDT Tue Jun 21 2022

Key messages:

1) Warm Thursday, but less humid

2) Storm chances Friday and Saturday

3) Very pleasant Sunday afternoon into Tuesday

Wednesday night through Thursday, high pressure will keep the area
dry and mostly clear with comfortable humidity levels.  Highs
Thursday will be in the mid 80s to low 90s.

Friday through Saturday, a warm front will lift northeast through
the area followed by a rather strong cold front.  Showers and storms
will accompany both fronts, with the highest POPs (40-50 percent)
slated for Friday morning west and generally north of I 80 through
most of Saturday. It remains too early to determine the severe storm
potential. Higher humidity levels will be found across the area on
both days, with temperatures in the 80s Friday and mainly upper 80s
and lower 90s Saturday; with a few mid 80s north and mid 90s central
and southwest. Saturday afternoon the Quad Cities area and locations
south and west will see heat indices in the upper 90s to low 100s.

Sunday through Tuesday, a Canadian dry high pressure area will build
into the region with dew point temperatures slipping into the upper
40s to mid 50s!  Highs Sunday and Monday will be in the mid 70s to
low 80s with readings rising into the low to mid 80s by Tuesday.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Wednesday Evening)
ISSUED AT 648 PM CDT Tue Jun 21 2022

A narrow line of sctrd thunderstorms will sweep through most of
the TAF sites this evening along a cool front with at least
passing bouts of IFR condtions and gusty winds. Otherwise a VFR
TAF cycle into Wed with southwest sfc winds becoming northwest
by late evening, trending to the north on Wed and increasing
again to around 10 KTS.
