2013 GLOV Severe Weather Discussion


Chicago WX

Recommended Posts

If the models are correct, we might see a ramp up in threats toward the end of next week.

Considerable amounts of instability will move into the area with a front slowly dropping Southeast, I could envision some flooding issues as well considering the slow nature of the front and the high PWATs.

SPC didn't outline any areas yet but they mention the strong/extreme instability showing up in the extended. GFS has multiple days with SBCAPE north of 5000 J/kg in the corn belt, and while shear may be questionable at times, that is a nice pool of instability to work with.

DAY 4-8 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK

VALID 191200Z - 241200Z

..DISCUSSION

..NRN ROCKIES TO THE UPPER MIDWEST

DESPITE A LACK OF RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY...THERE IS REASONABLE AGREEMENT BETWEEN ECMWF/GFS/CMC DETERMINISTIC AND ENSEMBLE MEANS WITH THE EVOLUTION OF THE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE NORTHWEST. LATEST GUIDANCE IS QUITE SLOW WITH EWD PROGRESSION AND LARGELY INDICATES A DAMPENING OF THE TROUGH BY LATE WEEK. MEANWHILE...A MID-LEVEL ANTICYCLONE SHOULD BECOME CENTERED OVER THE SRN PLAINS WITH A RIDGE EMANATING N/NEWD TOWARDS THE UPPER MS VALLEY/GREAT LAKES.

THE MOST CONSISTENT SIGNAL FOR SEVERE POTENTIAL APPEARS TO EXIST INVOF N-CNTRL MT ON D4/WED. HERE...PRECEDING DAYS OF LOW-LEVEL MASS RESPONSE WILL ENRICH BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE...YIELDING MODERATE BUOYANCY IN THE LEE OF THE NRN ROCKIES. HOWEVER...ORIENTATION OF THE TROUGH SUGGESTS MID/UPPER-LEVEL WINDS WILL BE MERIDIONAL AND WITH A SHARP W-E GRADIENT IN STRENGTH. A RELATIVELY NARROW OVERLAP OF FAVORABLE CAPE/SHEAR FOR ORGANIZED SEVERE IS EVIDENT WITH THIS AREA PROBABLY WARRANTING LOW-END SLIGHT RISK PROBABILITIES IN THE UPCOMING D3 OUTLOOK.

OTHERWISE...A PACIFIC COLD FRONT SHOULD EJECT EWD INTO THE NRN PLAINS BY D5/THU...BUT MAY BECOME QUASI-STATIONARY OR EFFECTIVELY PUSH EWD ON CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW. AIR MASS SHOULD BECOME INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE AHEAD OF THIS BOUNDARY BENEATH A PRONOUNCED EML...YIELDING POTENTIALLY STRONG TO EXTREME INSTABILITY LATE WEEK. ALTHOUGH THE BULK OF STRONGER MID-LEVEL FLOW SHOULD LAG THE FRONT...IT MAY REMAIN ADEQUATE ALONG IT TO YIELD A MULTI-DAY SEVERE THREAT IN THE NRN PLAINS AND PERHAPS EWD TO THE UPPER MIDWEST BY NEXT WEEKEND.

LOCALLY, CONTINUED NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT AND DOMINANCE OF SURFACE  
HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO MAINTAIN NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES INTO  
THE WEEKEND, WHEN THE PATTERN WILL POTENTIALLY BECOME RIPE WITH  
CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL GIVEN SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN'S FAVORABLE LOCATION  
ALONG THE EDGE OF THE CAP & ALONG THE LOW-LEVEL INSTABILITY GRADIENT.  
THEREFORE, NO CHANGES NECESSARY TO INHERITED CHANCE POPS SAT-MON.

This NW flow event next week looks to have some good potential on the GFS with a 70-80 kt H5 jet streak on the 18z run and bloated SCP, among other indices. The pattern appears highly favorable for robust MCS development as well.

  • 5 weeks later...

Slight risk added for tomorrow like I was thinking may happen. Looks like it could be an early show here so not too confident on severe prospects locally but models build decent instability by mid/late morning so there may be a shot at something if the timing doesn't speed up.

Nice little environment with localized sfc backing INVOF the low/pressure falls in W WI, probably enhancing low level shear near the clusters/supercells around ARX at this time, 3 km EHI up to 5-7 around them, MLCAPE of 2500-3500 J/kg.

 

Watch that cell WNW of Merrillan, mid level rotation is increasing..

Smallest new watch ever issued?

 

Lol. They will be posting a new one for sure further east and south with this line!

 

Pretty good cell south of La Crosse again. More cells firing further north into WI. Going to be a long night of radar watching I think.

Got it! Amazing gust front just roared through. Talking easy 60. It was followed by a second and third rip about a minute each apart. Still no precip but garbage cans blowing down the street and crawlers to the immediate west.

 

Wow!

 

Can see the outflow boundary nicely racing across eastern McHenry County.

Gust front already half way across Lake County. Should be crossing US 45 shortly. Couple cells managed to fire ahead of the decaying line.

 

Roll cloud now passing overhead. Winds are picking up.

 

Edit: Had some gusts up to 35 mph I'd say.
