Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville, IL
614 AM CDT Fri Jun 9 2023
.SHORT TERM… Issued at 230 AM CDT Fri Jun 9 2023
Through Saturday…
The overall quiet weather pattern continues through the end of the work week. Surface high pressure lingers overhead through the early morning hours with the center of the high eventually shifting south into central IL by this afternoon turning winds west to northwesterly across interior northern Illinois. This adds some uncertainty with how early and how far inland the afternoon lake breeze makes it in Illinois. Nevertheless, will still advertise cooler temperatures near the lake in the 70s, with highs near or slightly above 80 for inland areas this afternoon. Winds will remain mainly northerly into northwest Indiana where the cooler temps will spread further inland. Only other item of note for today is the addition of “haze” in the gridded forecast for portions of northwest Indiana and parts of east central Illinois based on HRRR/RAP near-surface smoke. Think that actual surface visibility reductions may be somewhat minor but it matches up well with the going AQA for NW IN.
The surface high shifts to our east into Saturday, bringing a return of persistent southwesterly flow after what has felt like an endless stretch of predominant east to northeast flow. As such, the “cooler near the lake” phrase carries less weight on Saturday with highs in the low to mid 80s expected across the area. Depending on how quickly high clouds and perhaps some virga stream in mid-to-late afternoon, portions of northwest Illinois may end up a tad cooler than currently forecast. Any precipitation looks to hold off until after sunset with more details on our weekend precipitation chances discussed in the long term section below.
