AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
410 AM CST TUE DEC 23 2008

.DISCUSSION...FORECAST FOCUS IS ON ISENTROPIC EVENT TODAY THEN ON
UPPER SYS/SFC LOW FOR WEDNESDAY...BREAK IN THE ACTION FOR
CHRISTMAS...AND THEN THINGS RAMPING BACK UP FOR THURSDAY NIGHT INTO
AT LEAST FRIDAY NIGHT.

TODAY AND TONIGHT-
88D TRENDS LINING UP WELL WITH ADIABATIC OMEGA ON 285K ISENTROPIC
PLOT FROM THE GFS. THIS LIFT MAXES OUT ACROSS THE CWA EARLY THIS
MORNING THEN ISENTROPIC LIFT DIMINISHES TOWARDS MIDDAY. EXTRAP OF
BACK EDGE OF THIS ACROSS IOWA EXITS OUR NORTHEAST CWA AROUND 15Z.
NARROW 0.30 INCH QPF MAX ACROSS THE FAR SE FOR THIS AFTERNOON LINES
UP WITH ELONGATED/SHEARED VORT ENERGY IN THE BROAD SW UPPER FLOW.
HOWEVER THE LOWER LEVEL FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING ALSO INCREASES
FROM 18Z TO 00Z WHICH GIVES BETTER SUPPORT TO THE ENHANCED QPF
THIS AFTERNOON IN THE SE. SO FOR NOW WILL LEAVE GOING ADVISORY
INTACT AND PERHAPS BUMP QPF NUMBERS A BIT IN THE SE...NOT AS HIGH
AS GFS BUT BOOSTED HPC A SMIDGE.

NAM AND WRF BOTH SHOW A RELATIVE BRIEF BREAK BETWEEN THE EXIT OF THE
FRONTOGENETICAL BAND AND THE ARRIVAL OF THE POTENTIALLY BIGGER
SYSTEM SNOW. RIGHT NOW WILL LET THE ADVISORY RUN IN LINE WITH
GOING EXPIRATION TIME RIGHT UP TO WHEN THE WATCH KICKS IN. EXPECT
A COUPLE OF BREAKS BETWEEN 15Z THIS MORNING AND 12Z
WEDNESDAY...BUT FOR NOW FEEL THE BEST ROUTE IS TO KEEP CURRENT
ADVISORY/WATCH HEADLINES RUNNING CONSISTENT WITH PRIOR ESTABLISHED
TIMEFRAME.

WEDNESDAY-
IMPRESSIVE SETUP WITH GFS AND WRF20 SHOWING SURFACE LOW TAKING ON A
VERY FAVORABLE TRACK. THE 00Z ECMWF DOESNT HAVE THE SAME BITE AS
THE GFS AND WRF WITH DEVELOPMENT FURTHER TO OUR EAST IN THE EASTERN
GREAT LAKES...BUT STILL HAS ABOUT 0.30 IN QPF. GFS SHOWS Q VECTOR
CONVERGENCE IS DEEP AND STRONG WITH INSTABILITY NOTED AS WELL FROM
THE INGREDIENTS CHARTS. IN FACT...THE WEAKER NAM STILL SHOWS PRETTY
DECENT INSTAB/Q VECTOR CONVERGENCE IN THE SE EVEN THOUGH SFC LOW NOT
AS IMPRESSIVE AS GFS OR WRF.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND CHRISTMAS DAY-
A BREAK IN THE ACTION AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES ACROSS.

THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY-
ANOTHER ISENTROPIC/WAA EVENT SETTING UP. THICKNESSES/850 TEMPS
SUGGEST PRECIPITATION WILL START OFF AS SNOW AND THEN POSSIBLY
CHANGE TO A MESSY MIXTURE BEFORE GOING OVER TO RAIN.

SATURDAY-
LEANED MORE TOWARDS THE 00Z ECMWF ON THE SLOWER FROPA
SO KEPT TEMPERATURES WARMER AND PRECIP TYPE LIQUID LONGER THAN
WHAT THE GFS IS SUGGESTING.

&&

.AVIATION...WARM AIR ADVECTION AND MOISTURE RETURN WILL CONTINUE TO
PRODUCE INTERMITTENT LGT SNOW TODAY AND TNT. DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE
WILL THEN TRACK FROM THE SRN PLAINS NEWD INTO LOWER MI ON WED. MDT
TO HEAVY SNOW IS POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY OVER SE WI. DUE TO THE
INTERMITTENT NATURE OF THE SNOW...THE CIGS AND VSBYS WILL BE
VARIABLE TODAY INTO WED. ON AVERAGE EXPECT MVFR CIGS AND IFR VSBYS.

&&

.MARINE...A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT. BREEZY SLY WINDS WILL PREVAIL WITH HIGH WAVES. THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT AND THUS WINDS AND WAVES WILL SLACKEN BY MIDNIGHT. STRONG
LOW PRESSURE TRACKING NEWD ACROSS IL AND LOWER MI ON WED WILL
GENERATE BRISK NWLY WINDS WED AFT AND NIGHT. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED.
