Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville, IL
520 AM CST Sun Feb 19 2023
.SHORT TERM… Issued at 325 AM CST Sun Feb 19 2023
Through Monday…
Northeastern Illinois and northwest Indiana continues to be sandwiched between a broad surface high over the southeastern CONUS and a developing surface low over the upper Midwest which is creating breezy southerly winds across the area this morning. Gusts of 20 to 25 mph are being reported across the area and are expected to continue through daybreak then increase as the atmosphere begins to mix into the base of a 40 kt low-level jet. This will generate gusts upwards of 30 mph through the early part of the afternoon before winds gradually ease heading into the evening behind a weak cold front.
Additionally, the warm advection generated by the aforementioned winds in combination with a weak upper-level disturbance sliding overhead is also generating a broad area of mid-level clouds and possible virga. Radar continues to show an area of 10 to 20 dbz echoes moving across central and northwestern Illinois, but ground stations have not reported any precipitation as of yet due to the dry layer below the cloud bases as noted in recent aircraft soundings. While I do not suspect we will see much of anything from these echoes as they continue to move northeastward across the area, I did maintain a chance of sprinkles in the forecast through daybreak just in case.
The mid-level clouds are expected to clear the area later this morning which will leave us under mostly sunny skies for our Sunday afternoon before clouds increase behind the aforementioned cold front this evening. The combination of sunshine and warm advection should allow temperatures to climb into the mid to upper 40s and lower 50s areawide this afternoon. While the cold front will briefly turn winds northwesterly this evening and cool temperatures into the upper 20s and lower 30s tonight, south-southwesterly flow is expected to redevelop during the day on Monday which should allow temperatures to rebound into the 40s to near 50 degrees despite the increased cloud cover.
