.UPDATE…
Issued at 831 PM CDT Fri Oct 28 2022
The forecast is in good shape with few changes needed this evening.
A recent hand analysis of the surface pressure, dew point, and wind fields reveals a stout 1030+mb surface high pressure system centered in the northeastern United States with a westward surface ridge extension through the Great Lakes. Full sunshine earlier this afternoon facilitated the development of a late-season lake breeze, which has since “washed out” across the Chicago metropolitan area. What`s left behind is a shallow (~200-300 ft deep per AMDAR soundings) localized pool of marine moisture characterized by surface dew points in the lower 40s extending more or less along and east of Interstate 355 and a few miles south of Interstate 80.
With clear skies, calm winds, and subsidence all being provided by the surface ridge over the Great Lakes, ideal radiational cooling conditions will allow for temperatures to (continue) nosediving through the overnight hours with lows likely to hit the low to mid 30s everywhere outside the urban core of Chicago. Considering low temperatures are poised to fall below where dew point temperatures were this afternoon (mid to upper 30s; the so-called “cross-over” temperatures), areas of fog appear all but certain to develo Ptonight with the densest likely within the aforementioned marine airmass across the Chicago metropolitan area. Visibility at Waukegan National Airport is already below 2 miles, giving confidence in such a forecast scenario. For this reason, opted to “bump” up wording of fog but held short of an explicit mention of anything dense as even the most favorable or obvious set-ups sometimes fail to produce.
