WEATHER DETAILS

Another shortwave in the seemingly endless parade of weak west- northwest flow shortwaves could bring a brief shot of some rain or snow showers this afternoon. Vorticity max over southern Manitoba early this morning will track southeast into the upper Mississippi Valley and upper Great Lakes regions this afternoon, then continue quickly eastward toward the eastern lakes region tonight.

A north-south oriented band of strong warm air advection is forecasted to sweep across the area later this morning into the afternoon. This axis of Warm Air Advection (WAA) is depicted very nicely by the strong/very strong pressure advection on the 285K-305K isentropic surfaces. Antecedent air mass across the region is quite dry from the surface up to a bit above 700mb, so some portion (maybe most) of the ascent associated with this band of strong warm air advection will be used to saturate the column from the top down. It is quite possible that the dry air will win out and we not see any precipitation in the area today or just sprinkles/flurries. However, given the magnitude of the forcing, the associated transient but fairly strong 800-700mb f-gen band, presence of strongly negative saturated Equivalent Potential Vorticity (EPV), and tendency for WAA precipitation events to over-perform the NWS Chicago Office did raise Probability of Precipitation (pops) a bit and changed to coverage wording (scattered instead of chance) for the precipitation.




Precipitation type will be a bit tricky as strong warm air advection and surface temps before the precipitation that are solidly above freezing would suggest mainly rain showers/sprinkles. However, evaporative cooling owing to the dry air mass could work to offset the warm air advection and result in precipitation falling more as snow showers. In addition, it isn’t uncommon to see a brief period of ice pellets at the onset of the precipitation in these type of top-down saturation events. Given the uncertainty, the course of least regret looks to be including rain or snow showers in the forecast this afternoon. At this point, the thinking is that temps will be just barely on the warm side, and precipitation not quite heavy enough for any snow accumulation.

In the wake of this wave, look for skies to clear out tonight and remain partly to mostly sunny tomorrow with milder temperatures expected.
