AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
348 AM CST SAT JAN 19 2008
FORECAST FOCUS ON ARCTIC AIRMASS AND WIND CHILLS NEAR TERM...SNOW
CHANCES MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT.
LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATED A MID LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE
UPPER MIDWEST. AT THE SURFACE...LOW PRESSURE CONTINUED TO MOVE
EAST THROUGH SOUTHEAST ONTARIO CANADA. COLD AIR ADVECTION
CONTINUING ACROSS THE REGION...AS INDICATED BY BACKING WINDS ON
BLUE RIVER PROFILER. THIS HELPING ARCTIC AIRMASS TAKE HOLD OVER
THE REGION.
VERY COLD TEMPERATURES COMBINING WITH WINDS TO PRODUCE BITTER COLD
WIND CHILLS IN THE -20 TO -30 DEGREE FAHRENHEIT RANGE ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA.
.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
ARCTIC AIRMASS EXPECTED TO REMAIN OVER THE REGION THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. 1000/500MB THICKNESS DROP TO MID 490S DKM RANGE BY 06Z
SUNDAY...WITH A MODEST RECOVERY INTO THE MID TO UPPER 500S DKM
RANGE BY 00Z MONDAY. 850MB TEMPERATURES ALSO BOTTOM OUT AT AROUND
-24 DEGREES CELSIUS AT 18Z SATURDAY...WITH A RISE TO AROUND -18
DEGREES CELSIUS BY 00Z MONDAY.
SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT SHOULD REMAIN STRONG ENOUGH...COMBINED
WITH MIXING OF 15 TO 20 KNOT WINDS IN LOWEST 1000 FEET AT
TIMES...TO KEEP WIND CHILL ADVISORY CRITERIA BEING MET THROUGH
18Z SUNDAY. THUS...HAVE EXTENDED ADVISORY UNTIL THIS TIME ACROSS
ALL OF SOUTHERN WISCONSIN. GRADIENT SLACKENS ENOUGH DURING SUNDAY
AFTERNOON TO ALLOW VALUES TO RISE ABOVE ADVISORY LEVELS.
WILL CONTINUE TO GO UNDER GFS MOS GUIDANCE FOR TEMPERATURES FOR
THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK. RECORD LOW MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE OF
-4 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT COULD BE CHALLENGED AT MADISON TODAY.
.LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...
MAIN ISSUE IN THIS PERIOD IS SNOW POTENTIAL FOR MONDAY AND MONDAY
NIGHT. NAM/GFS/ECMWF IN FAIR AGREEMENT WITH MAIN SYNOPTIC FEATURES
WITH SYSTEM. WARM FRONT SETS UP FROM LOW IN TEXAS PANHANDLE
NORTHEAST TO NORTHERN ILLINOIS BY 12Z MONDAY. ANOTHER LOW DEVELOPS
ALONG THE FRONT IN WESTERN MISSOURI BY 00Z TUESDAY...AND MOVES
QUICKLY NORTHEAST ALONG FRONT TO SOUTHEAST ONTARIO CANADA BY 12Z
TUESDAY.
OF NOTE IS THE MODERATE TO STRONG 850MB TO 700MB FRONTOGENESIS
BAND THAT SETS UP ALONG THE WISCONSIN AND ILLINOIS BORDER FROM 18Z
MONDAY TO AROUND 06Z TUESDAY FROM THE 00Z NAM RUN. THE GFS IS A
BIT MORE DISJOINTED WITH THE FRONTOGENESIS BAND...BUT DOES HAVE
SOMETHING IN THE AREA DURING THIS TIME. THE QPF PATTERN ON THE
ECMWF INDICATED THAT SOME BANDED PRECIPITATION WAS POSSIBLE OVER
SOUTHERN WISCONSIN...AN INDICATOR THAT SOME LOW LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS
WAS PROBABLY IN THE AREA. SOME DECENT ISENTROPIC UPWARD VERTICAL
MOTION AND Q VECTOR CONVERGENCE ALSO NOTED IN THIS PERIOD.
HOWEVER...DID NOT SEE MUCH IN THE WAY OF QPV SIGNATURES FROM THE
INGREDIENTS METHOD. ALSO WAS NOT SEEING VERY STRONG UPWARD
VERTICAL MOTION IN DENDRITIC SNOW CRYSTAL GROWTH ZONE.
GIVEN THE GOOD FRONTOGENESIS POTENTIAL...WILL CONTINUE THE LIKELY
POPS ON MONDAY...AND EXPAND THEM ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA ON
MONDAY NIGHT. HIGH SNOW TO LIQUID RATIOS OF 15 TO 1 EXPECTED ON
MONDAY...WITH AN INCREASE TO 20 TO 1 OR SO ON MONDAY NIGHT. GIVEN
THE QPF VALUES OF AROUND 0.20 INCHES IN THE NORTH...TO AROUND 0.40
INCHES IN THE SOUTH...SNOW AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES IN THE
NORTH...WITH 3 TO 6 INCHES IN THE SOUTH ARE POSSIBLE. COULD SEE
ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS IN THE FAR SOUTH AND SOUTHEAST. ALL IN
ALL...A GOOD CHANCE FOR SNOW ADVISORY CRITERIA TO BE
MET...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE WISCONSIN AND ILLINOIS BORDER.
ANOTHER SHOT OF ARCTIC AIR POSSIBLE LATER IN THE WEEK...AS MEDIUM
RANGE MODELS ALL BRING HIGH PRESSURE SOUTH ACROSS MINNESOTA AND
IOWA BY 12Z THURSDAY.
&&
.AVIATION...FEW CLOUDS...VFR THRU THE PD.
&&
.MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR WINDS IS IN EFFECT THROUGH
TODAY. FREEZING SPRAY ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT THROUGH 18Z SUN. WEST
WINDS OF 15 TO 25 KTS WILL COMBINE WITH BITTERLY COLD
TEMPERATURES...RESULTING IN FREEZING SPRAY. WINDS WILL LIGHTEN
SOME TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY...BUT REMAIN SUFFICIENTLY HIGH FOR
FREEZING SPRAY.
