AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
220 PM CDT WED SEP 6 2006

.DISCUSSION...FCST FOCUS ON SML PCPN CHC ON THU THEN BETTER CHC
FRIDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

COMBO OF WEAK SFC TROF PHASED WITH LK BREEZE BNDRY HELPING TO
ENHANCE LLV CONVERGENCE ACROSS ERN CWA. NAM MLCAPE AROUND 2200J/KG
AT 21Z WITH CURRENT LI/S AROUND -4. STARTING TO GET SOME ISOLD
CONVECTION NNW OF KMKE. SHOULD DIMINISH QUICKLY WITH SUNSET.

H8 WAA AND STRONG LLV ISENTROPIC LIFT /300K SFC/ DEPICTED ON THE GFS
AHEAD OF CANADIAN TROF HELPS TO GENERATE SOME QPF ACROSS THE CWA ON
THU. ACTUALLY GFS BEGINS THIS LIGHT QPF TONIGHT...BUT DON/T BELIEVE
THE FORCING/WAA IS STRONG ENOUGH WITHIN THE GENERALLY DRY COLUMN TO
PRODUCE THESE SHOWERS.  SOUNDINGS SHOW PERSISTENT AVAILABLE CAPE
THURSDAY AFTERNOON...THOUGH BEST MOISTURE LIMITED TO A NARROW ZONE
BETWEEN H8 TO H7.  SETUP SIMILAR ON THU AS COMPARED TO THE PAST FEW
AFTERNOONS AND CONCERN ABOUT THE LAKE BREEZE FOR ADDITIONAL LLV
ENHANCEMENT TO THE CONVERGENCE WARRANTS A SLGT CHC FOR THU AFTN.

FOCUS THEN SHIFTS TO CANADIAN COLD FRONT DROPPING IN FRIDAY OR
FRIDAY NIGHT...DEPENDING ON YOUR MODEL OF CHOICE.  THE NAM HAS THE
SFC FNT ALONG THE WI/IL BORDER AT 00Z SAT WHILE THE GFS STILL HAS
IT ACROSS THE FOX RIVER VALLEY.  WILL HEDGE WITH A COMPROMISE AT
THIS POINT AS THIS IS WHERE THE MODEL UNCERTAINTY BEGINS...AND
CONTINUES THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

FRONTOGENESIS AND ISENTROPIC ASCENT INCREASE WITH THE ARRIVAL OF
THE FRONT. THE H8 TROF LAGS WELL BEHIND THE SFC TROF AS IT MOVES
THROUGH THE REGION...LOCATED NORTH OF GRB AT 00Z SAT ON THE NAM.
REMEMBER THE SFC FNT AT THIS POINT IS ON THE IL/WI LINE.
THOUGH SFC FNT WILL EXIT SOUTH OF THE CWA BY SATURDAY...THE H8 BNDRY
REMAINS OVER THE AREA...KEEPING THE THREAT OF PCPN GOING IN THE WEAK
OVERRRUNNING PATTERN THROUGH SUNDAY.

THE GFS THEN DIVERGES SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE ECMWF FOR EARLY NEXT
WEEK. THE GFS DVLPS A CLOSE UPR LOW OVER THE WRN GRT LAKES ON
MONDAY WITH THE LLVS RESPONDING AS A SEASONABLY VIGOROUS SFC LOW
TRACKS FM MO INTO IL. THE QPF GENERATED BY THE GFS LOOKS
OVERBLOWN AND MAY INDICATE SOME FEEDBACK PROBLEMS WITHIN THE MODEL.
ENSEMBLES SHOW A LESS AMPLIFIED SOLUTION...WHILE THE 06Z DGEX
ACTUALLY KEPT THE SYSTEM SOUTH WITH RIDGING DOMINATING OVER THE AREA.
WILL PLAY IT CAUTIOUS AT THIS POINT.
