AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
200 PM CDT WED AUG 22 2007

.DISCUSSION...CONCERN REMAINS WITH FLOODING POTENTIAL AS ACTIVE
WET PATTERN TO CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. PATTERN CHANGE BRINGS
DRIER WEATHER FOR THE WEEKEND.

.SHORT TERM...IMMEDIATE CONCERN IS WITH CONVECTION UPSTREAM
ACROSS NRN/WRN IA FINGERING INTO WEST CENTRAL AND CENTRAL WI
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. WK SFC BNDRY EXTENDS FM NE WI INTO NE
IA...BUT THIS IS TOUGH TO DEFINE GIVEN WEAK FLOW AND DISTURBED
ATMOSPHERE FROM CONVECTION UPSTREAM. THE GFS AND THE NAM ARE
HANDLING THIS EARLY CONVECTION VERY DIFFERENTLY. NAM SHOWS IT
MOSTLY SOUTH OF THE AREA THROUGH 06Z INTO 12Z. WHILE THE GFS
PUSHES IT MOSTLY ENE WITH TIME...RIGHT INTO THE NW HALF OF THE
CWA. THE GFS SOLUTION IS ALREADY LOOKING LIKE A BETTER FIT WITH
REALITY. HPC QPF FIELDS ARE FOLLOWING CLOSER TO THE GFS AS WELL.
SHOULD SEE THE HEAVIEST RAIN NW OF MADISON...AN AREA THAT CAN/T
AFFORD MUCH MORE RAIN. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WAS ISSUED EARLIER FOR
ALL BUT THE NRN TIER OF THE CWA TONIGHT. THE SE CWA IS SOAKED AND
IF THE COLD POOL WITH THAT CONVECTION ORGANIZES A BIT MORE...THAT
COLD POOL INFLUENCE AND THE MEAN STEERING CURRENTS WOULD TAKE THAT
CONVECTION ON A MORE EASTERLY TRAJECTORY...INTO EASTERN AND
SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN. RIVERS IN THE SE ARE VERY HIGH. MANY REPORTS
OF STANDING WATER. A SHOT OF HEAVY RAIN COULD BE PROBLEMATIC. THUS
THE MORE WIDESPREAD COVERAGE OF THE WATCH.

SOME S/W ENERGY APPEARS TO EJECT OUT OF THE SW AND INTO THE GREAT
LAKES LATE TONIGHT AND THU...SOMEWHAT ENERGIZED BY A DIGGING TROUGH
NOW MOVING THROUGH THE NRN ROCKIES. THE NAM LOOKS TO OVER DEVELOP
THIS SYSTEM WHILE THE GFS...AGAIN...IS LOOKING BETTER. THE NAM HAS
AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG H8 LLV JET IN EXCESS OF 60KTS ACROSS KS BY
12Z THU AND PUSHES IT OVER THE CWA BY OOZ. I PREFER THE MORE
RESERVED SOLUTION OF THE GFS...STILL 40KTS...BUT POINTING A BIT
MORE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE CWA THAN THE NAM. SINCE THE NAM HAS BEEN
STRONGLY BIASED WITH A TOO FAR NORTH SOUTION TO THE QPF AND
FORCING FIELDS THIS SUMMER...IT OFFERS SUPPORT FOR FOLLOWING THE
GFS. THE FRONTOGENESIS IS WEAK SINCE THE BAROCLINIC ZONE IS WELL
NORTH ACROSS WI. BUT THE LLV ISENTROPIC LIFT IS IMPRESSIVE. THE
LOW TRACKS ALONG THE FRONT LOCATED ACROSS OUR AREA. THIS SHOULD
SPELL MORE RAIN FOR THU INTO THU NGT.

THE FRONT MOVES LITTLE IN THE WAKE OF THAT LOW AS YET ANOTHER SFC
LOW EJECTS OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST ON FRIDAY.  MORE RAIN.

SO OUR THREAT FOR MORE FLOODING RAINS OVER THE NEXT 48 TO 60 HOURS
IS VERY HIGH AS A SERIES OF WAVES MOVES UP THE SFC FRONT IN A SW
FLOW ALOFT. WE WILL LIKELY BE EXTENDING OR RE-ISSUING THE FLASH
FLOOD WATCHES AS WE GAIN MORE CLARITY IN THE EVOLUTION OF THIS
SYSTEM.

A PATTERN CHANGE ARRIVES BY SATURDAY AS A CANADIAN HIGH BUILDS
SOUTH. COULD BE DRY INTO MONDAY. INTERESTING ANALYSIS OF THE GFS
FOR TUE SHOWS THAT IT/S PROGGED QPF FOR US ON TUE/TUE NIGHT MAY
BE THE REMNANTS OF HURRICANE DEAN. A BIT DIFFICULT TO PIN THAT ONE
DOWN FOR SURE.

&&

.AVIATION...MAIN CONCERN THIS PERIOD IS NRN IA MCS AND HOW IT WILL
EVOLVE TO AFFECT SRN WI THIS EVE AND OVERNIGHT. WILL GRADUALLY
SPREAD THE MCS ACRS THE AREA OVERNIGHT TNGT AND LOWER CIGS A BIT.
NAM MOS HINTS AT MVFR CIGS IN MSN WHILE GUID UNANIMOUS WITH VFR CIGS
IN MKE. WILL NEVERTHELESS HINT AT LOWER CIGS WITH THE CONVECTION BUT
FOR THE MOST PART KEEP THINGS VFR. BUFKIT AND LLVL RH PROGS IMPLY
SUSTAINED LOWER CIGS SHOULD REMAIN TO THE NORTH OF MKE AND MSN WITH
THE PSBL BRIEF DROP DOWN TO MVFR/IFR CIGS IN THE STRONGER CONVECTION
LATER TNGT AND ERLY THU MRNG. WILL ALSO CARRY MVFR BR LATER TNGT AND
HAVE MVFR VSBYS WITH THE STORMS...THO IFR VSBYS NOT OUT OF THE
QUESTION IN THE HEAVIER DOWNPOURS.
