.SHORT TERM…
Issued at 319 AM CDT Sun Oct 23 2022
Through Monday…
A deep upper-level trough continues to take shape across the western CONUS this morning with a strong 987 mb surface low being analyzed over northeastern Colorado and southwestern Nebraska. The trough is expected to deepen as it pushes eastward into the central plains later today which will push the surface low northeastward into the northern plains and upper Midwest. This will place northeastern Illinois and northwest Indiana in the robust warm air advection wing that will aid in keeping temperatures abnormally warm for this time of year. Temperatures are already starting off in the low to mid-60s this morning and will warm into the mid to upper 70s this afternoon. Winds will also be increasing in speed today as the pressure gradient tightens ahead of the low and the atmosphere mixes into 40+ kt winds aloft allowing gusts to reach in the 30 to 35 mph range this afternoon with a few higher gusts possible especially towards this evening as the low-level jet develops.
As the trough pushes into the central plains, an area of showers and thunderstorms is expected to develop across central and eastern Iowa this evening which are expected to gradually lift north and east into northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin through the late evening and overnight hours. While the bulk of the precipitation will be in the form of showers, forecast soundings are continuing to show that some marginal elevated instability would develop across portions of northern Illinois which may allow for some isolated rumbles of thunder this evening into the early overnight hours. I have continued to maintain a slight chance mention for thunder in the forecast for the majority of the CWA, but I suspect that the best chances for any isolated storms would be areas along I-39 and north of I-80.
Showers are expected to lift north of the area by Monday morning leaving the area with dry conditions until a strong cold front begins to bring showers into the area late Monday afternoon into the evening. Otherwise, another unseasonably mild and breezy today is on tap for Monday with highs in the mid-70s and wind gusts around 25 mph.
