Wednesday and Wednesday Night …
Weather Hazards expected…
Limited Non Thunderstorm Wind Risk.
DISCUSSION…
Westerly winds will regularly gust to 35 to 40 mph today.
Northeastern Illinois and northwest Indiana are sandwiched between a strong 981 mb low pressure center over southern Canada and a surface high moving across the central Plains, which has created a tight pressure gradient across Chicagoland, and is causing the gusty winds expected to diminish gradually after 3:00 p.m. The winds will continue to advect in much colder, holding high temperatures around 30 degrees this afternoon with the breezy winds making it feel much colder with wind chill values in the 5 to 10 degree range. Tomorrow will only recover to the other upper 30s and gusty winds will return around 3:00 p.m. Thursday.

1049 AM CST Wed Nov 30 2022
.UPDATE… Issued at 1048 AM CST Wed Nov 30 2022
The going forecast for chilly and windy conditions today remains on track.
Northeastern Illinois and northwest Indiana continue to be sandwiched between a strong 981 mb low pressure center over southern Canada and a surface high moving across the central Plains. The presence of these two systems have created a tight pressure gradient across our forecast area which is leading to the gusty winds currently being observed and that will continue into the evening with gusts of 35 to 40 mph. Additionally, these winds will also continue to advect in much colder air over the area which will keep high temperatures around 30 degrees this afternoon with the breezy winds making it feel much colder with wind chill values in the 5 to 10 degree range. Given these conditions try to limit time outdoors or if you have to be outside dress warmly.
Cloud cover has been starting to clear for parts of the area but areas north of I-80 has been a bit slower to clear this morning with some occasional flurries being observed at times along the Illinois- Wisconsin stateline as well. While forecast soundings show that the limited moisture that is causing the flurries will continue to diminish through the rest of the morning, the cloud cover is expected to linger through the early part of the afternoon before skies begin to gradually clear out going through the rest of the afternoon.
