Hazardous Weather Outlook

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

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.

WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED:

THUNDERSTORMS...SOME COULD PRODUCE:
DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH.
HAIL TO THE SIZE OF HALF DOLLARS.
FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN.

AREAS AFFECTED AND TIMING:

A COLD FRONT CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS NORTHWESTERN AND NORTH
CENTRAL ILLINOIS WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS NORTHEASTERN
ILLINOIS AND NORTHWESTERN INDIANA LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO
EARLY THIS EVENING. THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO RAPIDLY
DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT BETWEEN 4 AND 6 PM THIS AFTERNOON.
THESE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO AFFECT AREAS MAINLY ALONG
AND SOUTHEAST OF A LINE FROM NEAR CHICAGO SOUTHWESTWARD TO
NEAR OTTAWA ILLINOIS.

DISCUSSION:

STRONG INSTABILITY IS IN PLACE AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT.
HOWEVER...A CAPPING INVERSION IS KEEPING THUNDERSTORMS FROM
FORMING AT THE PRESENT. HOWEVER...A POTENT UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE NOW APPROACHING THE AREA SHOULD INTERACT WITH THE
LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE SURFACE FRONTAL ZONE TO WEAKEN
AND BREAK THROUGH THE CAP. THIS IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN
EXPLOSIVE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. THE ATMOSPHERE IN WHICH
THESE STORMS DEVELOP WILL SUPPORT STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WITH STRONG WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. THE
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD QUICKLY COME TO AN END EARLY THIS EVENING
AS THE FRONT CLEARS THE AREA.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTERS MAY BE NEEDED LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING.

INDIANA TO PONTIAC ILLINOIS.

DISCUSSION:

STRONG INSTABILITY WILL DEVELOP AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT
TODAY...HOWEVER A STRONG CAPPING INVERSION WILL KEEP

Hazardous Weather Outlook

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

.DAY ONE...OVERNIGHT.

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.

THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY...MAINLY
DURING THE MID AFTERNOON TO EARLY EVENING HOURS AHEAD OF AN
ADVANCING COLD FRONT. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOST LIKELY OVER
SOUTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE OUTLOOK AREA...MAINLY SOUTH AND EAST OF
THE INTERSTATE 55 CORRIDOR ACROSS EASTERN ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST
INDIANA. SOME OF THE STORMS MAY BE SEVERE WITH THE GREATEST
THREAT BEING DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL. LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE AS WELL.

THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY NIGHT INTO
SUNDAY ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHERN ILLINOIS. THERE WILL BE A
CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA MONDAY.

Hazardous Weather Outlook

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

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.

WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED:

THUNDERSTORMS...THE STRONGEST COULD PRODUCE:

DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH.
HAIL TO ONE INCH.
FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.
AND LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS.

AREAS AFFECTED AND TIMING:

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST
WISCONSIN AND SOUTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN WILL LIKELY EXPAND IN
COVERAGE THIS EVENING...AND WILL LIKELY AFFECT AT LEAST PORTIONS
OF NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA AFTER 9 PM CDT.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO AFFECT ESPECIALLY NORTHEAST
ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA THROUGH 2 OR 3 AM CDT...THEN
DIMINISH IN COVERAGE.

DISCUSSION:

A MID LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVED EAST OF THE OUTLOOK AREA THIS
AFTERNOON. SINKING AIR IN THE WAKE OF THIS DISTURBANCE HAS ALLOWED
CLOUDS TO CLEAR OUT ACROSS THE AREA EARLY THIS EVENING. HOWEVER...
ANOTHER STRONG DISTURBANCE WILL DROP SOUTHEAST OUT OF NORTHERN
WISCONSIN LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...AND WILL LIKELY
RESULT IN ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT TONIGHT. WHILE VERY
WARM AND HUMID AIR EXISTS TO THE WEST OF THE OUTLOOK AREA THIS
EVENING...TEMPERATURES ALOFT ARE QUITE WARM...PRODUCING A CAPPING
INVERSION THAT WILL HINDER THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT FARTHER TO THE
WEST. THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY BE FROM
CENTRAL WISCONSIN ACROSS SOUTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN...THOUGH SCATTERED
STORMS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP AS FAR WEST AS PORTIONS OF NORTHERN
ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA. SOME OF THE STRONGER STORMS MAY BE
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING ONE INCH HAIL...AND ISOLATED WIND GUSTS TO 60
MPH.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.

THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY...MAINLY

THUNDERSTORMS...SOME COULD PRODUCE:
DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH.

ADDITIONAL STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS LATE THIS EVENING THROUGH TONIGHT AND
SLIDE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA.

DISCUSSION:

ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATE THIS
EVENING THROUGH TONIGHT AS A WEAK UPPER LEVEL WAVE APPROACHES
NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST.
CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO CLEAR ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND
NORTHWEST INDIANA...WHICH WILL ALLOW THE ATMOSPHERE TO DESTABILIZE

Hazardous Weather Outlook

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

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

WEATHER HAZARDS EXPECTED:

THUNDERSTORMS...SOME COULD PRODUCE:
FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND LIGHTNING.
HEAVY RAIN.
LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH.
AND HAIL TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS.

AREAS AFFECTED AND TIMING:

THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING...ESPECIALLY
NORTH OF INTERSTATE 80. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY
LIKELY THIS AFTERNOON POSSIBLY LINGERING INTO THE EVENING SOUTH
OF INTERSTATE 80.

DISCUSSION:

A WEAK FRONT WILL MOVE INTO NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST
INDIANA TODAY...TEAMING UP WITH A PAIR OF UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCES TO BRING A ROUND OR TWO OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA.

THE POTENTIAL OF EXTENSIVE CLOUD COVER AND THE POSSIBILITY OF
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS THIS MORNING RAISES DOUBTS AS TO
HOW UNSTABLE THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BECOME BY AFTERNOON. SHOULD
SOME SUNSHINE BREAK THROUGH THE CLOUDS AND ALLOW FOR GREATER
INSTABILITY TO DEVELOP...THEN WINDS ALOFT WOULD BE FAVORABLE FOR
SOME OF THE STORMS THIS AFTERNOON TO BECOME CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS IN EXCESS OF 60 MPH AND HAIL UP TO ABOUT
THE SIZE OF QUARTERS. IN ADDITION...LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IS
POSSIBLE AND COULD EVEN RESULT IN MAINLY NUISANCE TYPE FLOODING
