snowlover2 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Updated day 2 Quote DAY 2 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 1246 PM CDT MON JUN 08 2020 VALID 091200Z - 101200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE MIDWEST AND VICINITY...AND ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA/NORTHEAST KANSAS... ..SUMMARY SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TUESDAY OVER PARTS OF THE MISSOURI, MID MISSISSPPI AND OHIO VALLEYS AND INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES REGION, WITH A FEW TORNADOES POSSIBLE IN ADDITION TO LOCALIZED WIND DAMAGE. HAIL IS POSSIBLE AS WELL OVER PARTS OF NEBRASKA AND KANSAS. ..SYNOPSIS REMNANTS OF CRISTOBAL ARE FORECAST TO SHIFT NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY VICINITY TOWARD THE UPPER GREAT LAKES THROUGH THE DAY TUESDAY, AHEAD OF AN UPPER TROUGH MOVING OUT OF THE ROCKIES INTO THE CENTRAL U.S. THROUGH THE PERIOD. WHILE CRISTOBAL -- INITIALLY PROGGED TO BE CENTERED OVER THE OZARKS AT THE START OF THE PERIOD -- SHIFTS NORTHWARD WITH TIME, A COLD FRONT IS FORECAST TO SURGE EASTWARD/SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE PLAINS. BY THE END OF THE PERIOD, WITH REMNANTS OF CRISTOBAL NOW DEEPENING AS A SYNOPTIC LOW OVER THE UPPER GREAT LAKES, A TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL LIKELY HAVE SURGED TO A POSITION FROM THE LOW SOUTH-SOUTHWESTWARD ACROSS THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO THE TEXAS GULF COAST. ..MID MS/MID AND LOWER OH/TN VALLEYS TO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES A LARGE AREA OF PRECIPITATION ASSOCIATED WITH CRISTOBAL IS EXPECTED TO RESIDE ACROSS THE OZARKS AND MID MS/TN/LOWER OH VALLEYS EARLY IN THE PERIOD, AND WILL SPREAD NORTHWARD ACROSS THE MIDWEST INTO THE UPPER GREAT LAKES REGION THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD. A VERY MOIST LOW-LEVEL AIRMASS, AND BACKED LOW-LEVEL FLOW IN THE NORTHEAST QUADRANT OF THE LOW, WILL RESULT IN A LARGE/BROAD AREA OF AT LEAST LOW-END WIND AND TORNADO POTENTIAL THROUGH THE PERIOD. AT THIS TIME, IT APPEARS THAT A DIURNAL UPTICK IN RISK SHOULD OCCUR THROUGH THE MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON AS STORMS SPREAD ACROSS THE MID MS AND TN VALLEYS INTO THE IL/IN AREA. WEAK LAPSE RATES, BUT VERY MODEST HEATING SHOULD COMBINE WITH THE STRONG VEERING WITH HEIGHT WITHIN THE BACKGROUND WIND FIELD TO SUPPORT A RELATIVE INCREASE IN OVERALL SEVERE-WEATHER PROBABILITY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS. AT LEAST SOME RISK WILL LIKELY LINGER THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD, AS CONVECTION SPREADS ACROSS THE UPPER GREAT LAKES REGION. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 I mean look at this thing Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville, IL 338 PM CDT Mon Jun 8 2020 .SHORT TERM... 317 PM CDT Through Tuesday Night... Plenty of unpack with the forecast through the next 48 hours. The main forecast messages remain with some ability to provide more specificity, although a couple aspects remain modestly uncertain for this close in timing owing to subtle differences in system track and evolution. The messages are: - Tuesday mid-afternoon through mid-evening (~3-11 p.m.) likely being the main window of impact for our area - Strong winds with regular gusts of 35-45 mph, potential for sporadic 50+ mph during this time, while Wednesday`s winds look less impacting than they had - Scattered severe storm threat, even some of the activity not having much or any lightning - Period of tropical-like rainfall rates overlapping the late day commute Today finds the area under a stout upper level ridge, with suppression aloft likely being enhanced around the outer periphery of now Tropical Depression Cristobal which is near the Arkansas/Mississippi border slowly moving north. Temperatures of 89 to 94 over dew points around 50 will be prevalent through 5 p.m. before gradual cooling. The outer spiraling cirrus edge of Cristobal will spread northward over the area this evening and then thicken overnight with lows of 65-70. Guidance has gradually honed more in on the solution track of the remnant mid-level to surface circulation of Cristobal, taking it northward right over the Mississippi River. This is forecast by the National Hurricane Center to be centered just north of the Quad Cities by late day Tuesday. As a continued warm core system it should be retaining primarily tropical-like characteristics, though some mid-latitude / extratropical evolution may be starting and likely will more rapidly Tuesday night as the system tracks north of the area. The strongest 925 mb winds of near 50 kt over the area are forecast to be mid-late afternoon through mid- evening, and this is coincident with the near-record high absolute moisture values (PWATS of 2.25 inches) and the developing negative tilt of the mid-level circulation. A probable key to both wind magnitude and severe potential is if any destabilization can be achieved in that lowest km or two of the troposphere to result in momentum transfer of stronger winds and for parcels in an vorticity-rich low-level environment to achieve LFC heights. .Tuesday Synoptic Winds... Confidence remains high on a period of strong southeast to south winds Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday evening, but lower on the peak wind gust magnitudes and how prevalent these will be. For this reason, opted to hold off on any wind headlines and allow the evening and midnight shifts to take another look at the latest guidance trends. As the center of TD Cristobal lifts northward near the Mississippi River on Tuesday afternoon, a corridor of stout pressure falls will overspread the region as the system`s strong low level wind fields arrive. Even at about 24 hours out, there are non trivial differences in the model guidance with respect to the exact track and strength of Cristobal. In addition, there is uncertainty on mixing depths as the peak low level jet magnitude arrives Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday evening. This is because the low level wind core will be in tandem with the rain bands, which will lower mixing depths. ECMWF and UKMET are most concerning from a wind perspective, as they still deepen the low to sub 990 mb at our latitude, with GFS not quite as deep, but forecast soundings still suggesting 40+ kt speeds not too far above 1000 ft AGL could be mixed down. NAM had weakest and farthest east solution of the 12z cycle. It could be an outlier, but not confident enough to completely discount that idea. Think that we`re likely headed for needing a Wind Advisory for a portion of the area, most likely the southeast 1/2 or 2/3 of the CWA given NHC consensus low pressure track. With such strong winds off the deck, even if diminishing mixing heights render 45+ mph gusts somewhat less frequent, even aside from deeper convection, showers may be able to tap into the stronger winds aloft. Given the lingering uncertainty on exact timing, duration and areas impacted, opted to hold off on a Wind Advisory issuance with this forecast package in collaboration with neighboring offices. As mentioned above, wind direction with strongest winds will start out southeasterly and then shift to south and then south-southwest, with speeds then gradually easing by midnight or so as direction becomes more southwesterly. Will message gusts up to 40-45 mph, with gusts of 50+ mph still possible, especially in heavier showers. .Tuesday Severe Potential... The pattern in the mid-level heights, low-level wind field, surface winds, and just being in the right front quadrant of an inland tropical system are concerning for rotating storms. However, instability may be nearly nil if the rain shield is large and steady enough during the afternoon into early evening. Any arc-like structures or more scattered activity that develops will be more susceptible to subtle heating and destabilizing to support tapping into the strong wind field and providing some depth to rotating updrafts for isolated severe wind and tornado potential. The trend is slightly later in this timing, more later afternoon into mid evening, which is when low-level instability from central Illinois is likely to advect northward into at least the southern forecast area and possibly all the way up to Chicago. Lightning is likely to be limited especially with any activity within the main rain area. In terms of convective wind potential, given 50 kt flow at 2000 ft and very limited inversion, any deeper storms would be able to maximize that and could produce isolated damaging winds. For tornado potential, some if not numerous rotating updrafts are likely late day into Tuesday evening just south or into the CWA, again depending on if activity can get into more of a mode or arcs/scattered to harness some destabilization. The potential is there for tornadoes to be of a short-lived nature given the shear highly outweighing the instability, and just a rich moist environment too. It`s not impossible some more true supercell structures could develop in east central IL and graze into the far southeast forecast area given trajectories of deeper instability, especially early Tuesday evening (7-10 p.m.). .Tuesday Heavy Rain Potential... The longer duration heavier rainfall with Crisotbal`s remnants observationally upstream and into Tuesday model solutions looks to be near and just west of the center of circulation. This has some buffer before overlapping north central Illinois, so that`s a good sign. Given the absolute moisture values though, periodic heavy rainfall rates within a 3-6 hour window sometime within mid- afternoon through mid-evening are likely. This would overlap the commute time and given tropical-like rain, this could sharply reduce visibility and lead to localized flooding and temporary hydroplaning concerns. But this threat does look much more localized especially compared to a couple of the more widespread May events. Total forecast rainfall through Tuesday night is likely to exceed one inch in places, most favored along/north of I-88. We are not expecting rises in rivers to be significant at this time. .Beach Hazards and Lakeshore Flooding... For northeast Illinois, a period of stronger mainly onshore winds (southeast direction) will be seen later Tuesday morning into the evening. This will be enough to support dangerous swimming conditions and could result in low end lakeshore flooding. This does not look to be a significant lakeshore flooding event. MTF/RC && .LONG TERM... 328 PM CDT Wednesday through Monday... Forecast guidance has decent spread on Wednesday, not that much of a surprise given phasing of a mid-latitude trough and incoming tropical remnants. The trend today was for a slower true phase of this and thus a longer break in the stronger winds, and the second maximum being less in wind speed and duration. The mid-latitude trough is forecast to move over the area during midday into afternoon Wednesday, acquiring a slight negative tilt as it does. There are variances in speed and degrees of drying and suppression behind Cristobal`s remnants, but in general guidance does show some break in shower/convective coverage later Tuesday night through Wednesday morning. Scattered showers and possibly a few storms would be favored to develop immediately ahead of the trough`s center. The 12Z NAM even supported some severe threat in northwest Indiana and especially just east of the area, but that was somewhat of an outlier solution with its further west indication of that occurring. Rainfall with Wednedsay`s activity could be an additional half inch plus in some places, again northern Illinois north of I-80 most favored. For Wednesday winds, the tightest pressure gradient envelops the area later Wednesday into Wednesday night in guidance, not ideal for overlapping the diurnal maximum. Also the phased low center, while near an impressive four standard deviations from normal for June in this region (983 mb), is located by that time well north of the Great Lakes. The cold advection and unidirectional wind profile may support some gusts over 40 mph, and its still within the window of possibilities that this period needs a short lived Advisory if the phasing shifts a little earlier/south than current solutions support. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking more likely we end up with a usual 40-55mph wind event, locally higher. There does appear to be some tor threat, but greatest will be much further S and SE. If you're referring to the sfc wind gust product, then perhaps this is true.

They may have to extend the FFW into later in the day Wednesday as the trailing synoptic systems rolls in. There should be another localized heavy rain threat on the NW side of that upper low where you'll have convection feeding into a deformation zone.

purduewx80 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 18Z 3k NAM has steep low-level lapse rates and 45KT at the top of the boundary layer as the PM convection rolls into Chicago, from central Cook Co below: As has been stated by others, the progged warmup to near 90 ahead of these bands will be critical in higher winds aloft being able to mix down in convection.

You have to remember with Ike there was the unexpected mostly sunny skies to the south/east of the track which aided in the stronger winds. Would be pretty hard to get another Ike scenario unless that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Convection or not, I am most interested in the timeframe between about 6 pm and midnight here. If we're going to mix down some monster gusts, that's when it would be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Haven't given it as much attention as other aspects, but definitely interested in the local severe threat after dark Tue. Tremendous low level shear, increasing CAPE... and surface based storms well into the night shouldn't be a problem with this airmass and the low levels remaining relatively well mixed.

madwx Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 both HRRRs have precip moving through S Wisconsin fairly quickly tomorrow, between 2-10, with a fairly convective look. Immediately afterwards winds turn to the SW and get very gusty into the overnight hours. The plains wave then moves eastward and that precip rolls in starting Wednesday morning. I'm looking at 3 periods for gusty winds tomorrow 1)ESE winds getting progressively gustier from around 9-2 tomorrow 2) any strong gusts brought down by convective features during the afternoon and evening 3) and perhaps the strongest winds behind the frontal feature after 10 pm. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostfern Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 It looks like CAPE increases late overnight into the morning over SW Michigan due to colder air aloft advecting in from the southwest. 1000 j/kg is enough for supercells with such extreme wind fields. I wonder if there will be a tornado watch with this. It's almost like a early spring / late fall severe weather setup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlcater Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Tomorrow’s setup in IL/IN is completely foreign to me and I honestly have no idea what to think of it. Especially the hodographs. 0-6km shear is nothing short of substantial and likely results in storm motions exceeding 40kts, but wind aloft is significantly backed and in much less magnitude. The result is a hodograph I’ve literally never seen before where it doubles back on itself. What the result of this is, perhaps rain on inflow? Similarly, never seen 0-6km shear contrast with abysmally low EBWD that is typically far too low to support supercells. To me, storm speed seems to suggest that this environment appears far more sheared than it actually is in a storm relative sense. If storms can initiate on a confluence zone in S IL or elsewhere, my guess is that we get fast moving clusters of storms and transient supercell structures with perhaps a few tornadoes owing to large SRH values present(note the sounding posted is on the conservative end of guidance) I’d feel better if EBWD and cloud layer shear weren’t in the gutter. Thermos should be sufficient but not stellar and shear aloft is better with northward extent tomorrow. Definitely interested to see what results from this.

The strange backing with height is high up enough that it will really stretch out the updraft to the north, away from the track of the storm..

The depression is moving toward the north-northwest near 17 mph (28 km/h) and its motion is expected to accelerate to the north and north-northeast over the next 48 hours. Maximum sustained winds are near 30 mph (45 km/h) with higher gusts. Some strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours as Cristobal transitions into an extratropical cyclone. The estimated minimum central pressure is 994 mb (29.36 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- WIND: Gusty winds are expected Tuesday night and Wednesday over portions of the Midwest and western Great Lakes as Cristobal strengthens as an extratropical low. RAINFALL: Cristobal will produce storm total rainfall accumulations of 2 to 4 inches with local amounts to 6 inches from Arkansas to the western Great Lakes through Wednesday morning. This rainfall may produce flash flooding, and is forecast to produce isolated significant river flooding across portions of the central Gulf Coast into the Lower Mississippi Valley. Smaller streams across southeast Louisiana and southern Mississippi have begun to rise and are forecast to crest mid-week. New and renewed significant river flooding is possible across the Mid and Upper Mississippi Valley. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 400 AM CDT. $$ Forecaster Roth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
