AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
206 PM CST TUE FEB 17 2009

INTERESTING EVOLUTION OF THIS SYSTEM CONTINUES AS MODEL TO MODEL AND
RUN TO RUN DISCONTINUITY PERSISTS EVEN AS THE EVENT IS ABOUT TO
UNFOLD. BUT...THE CONSENSUS MESSAGE IS THAT THIS EVENT WILL BE ON
THE LOW END OF AN ADVISORY.

MOISTURE SURGING NORTH AND SHOULD OVERSPREAD THE CWA BY OR SHORTLY
AFTER 00Z. LIGHT QPF IS EXPECTED TO BREAK OUT AS WELL WITH
TIGHTENING OF THE ELEVATED WARM FRONTAL BAROCLINIC ZONE AHEAD OF
THE DEVELOPING/ORGANIZING LOW. THE INTERACTION OVER THE UPPER
MIDWEST BETWEEN THE ARRIVING MID LEVEL PACIFIC ENERGY AND THE MID
LEVEL ENERGY DROPPING SOUTH OUT OF CANADA HAS BEEN TOO COMPLICATED
FOR THE MACHINES AND HUMANS TO COMPREHEND. MOTHER NATURE WINS. IT
APPEARS THE PHASING IS NOT COMPLETE AND DESPITE THE STRONG SFC LOW
DEVELOPING...THERE IS LITTLE DEEP LAYER SUPPORT FOR HEAVY
SNOWFALL. THE BEST CHANCE FOR SNOW SHOULD OCCUR IN THE INCREASING
FRONTOGENETIC RESPONSE AS THE COLD AIR POURS INTO THE BACKSIDE OF
LOW LATER TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING. THERE SHOULD BE SOME
BANDED SNOWFALL FROM THE FRONTOGENESIS...BUT THAT FORCING IS BY NO
MEANS STRONG. I LIKE THE LOOK OF THE FRONTOGENETICAL EVOLUTION OFF
THE NAM AS COMPARED TO THE GFS. IT FIRST DEVELOPS IN THE NORTH
WITH THE ARRIVING COLD AIR AND PIVOTS SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE CWA.
THE GFS HAS IT MOSTLY OVER THE SRN CWA LATER TONIGHT AND EARLY
WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE TRUTH...IN THE END MAY LIE SOMEWHERE IN
BETWEEN.

TEMPERATURE CONSIDERATIONS ALSO COMPLICATE SNOW ACCUMS. THE SOUTH
HALF OF THE CWA WILL SEE A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW OVERNIGHT...
POSSIBLY ALL RAIN IN THE FAR SOUTH EARLY ON. ACCUMS SHOULD RANGE
FROM 4 TO 5 INCHES ACROSS THE FAR NORTH CWA TO JUST A COUPLE OF
INCHES OVER THE FAR SOUTH BEFORE THE SNOW TAPERS OFF WEDNESDAY
EVENING.

THE CANADIAN SHORTWAVE IS QUITE IMPRESSIVE AS IT SWINGS THROUGH
DURING THE NEXT 24HRS. BUT IT/S OVERALL IMPACT IS DAMPENED BY THE
VERY STRONG COLD ADVECTION UNDERCUTTING IT. ISENTROPIC COLLAPSE
OCCURS BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND KIND OF EXPECT THE SNOW TO END
BY 00Z THURSDAY. THE ADVISORY WILL BE LEFT IN EFFECT UNTIL 06Z
THURSDAY DUE TO THE STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS EXPECTED TO BLOW AND
DRIFT THE NEW SNOW AROUND. THE WINDS SHOULD PICK UP QUICKLY AS THE
TROUGH AXIS MOVES EAST OF US BY 18Z AND DEEPENS RAPIDLY. BRISK
NORTHWEST WINDS WILL CAUSE PROBLEMS ON AREA ROADS PERPENDICULAR TO
THAT TRAJECTORY.

THEN COLD SETTLES IN FOR A TIME. A POTENT CLIPPER ARRIVES FRIDAY
NIGHT AND EXITS QUICKLY ON SATURDAY. THIS COULD BRING SOME
ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATION OF A FEW INCHES OF POWDER. COLD TEMPS THEN
REINFORCED MORE FOR THE WEEKEND. MODERATING TEMPERATURES EXPECTED
EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE EARLY
EVENING...UNTIL MVFR CLOUD DECK PUSHES INTO THE AREA FROM THE SOUTH.
MIXTURE OF RAIN AND SNOW SHOULD MOVE INTO THE AREA DURING THE
EVENING HOURS...ALTHOUGH CONFIDENCE IN THIS IS LOW GIVEN VARYING
MODEL DEPICTIONS. BROUGHT IFR CONDITIONS WITH MIX SOON AFTER
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT...BEFORE CHANGEOVER TO SNOW FROM WEST TO EAST BY
12Z WEDNESDAY.

IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING WITH THE
LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW...WITH BEST UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION PUSHING
THROUGH OR NEARBY TAF SITES. WINDS SHIFT TO NORTHWEST BY LATE
MORNING...AND BECOME GUSTY DURING THE AFTERNOON. ADDED SOME BLOWING
SNOW DURING THIS TIME...WITH SNOW TAPERING OFF AS THE AFTERNOON
WEARS ON. IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE TO MVFR DURING THE
AFTERNOON...AS THE STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SHIFTS TO THE EAST.

&&

.MARINE...WINDS SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST AND BECOME STRONG DURING
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...IN THE WAKE OF THE STRONG SURFACE LOW. GALE
WARNING CRITERIA SHOULD BE MET DURING THE AFTERNOON...WITH FREQUENT
NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS TO 35 KNOTS EXPECTED. THE STRONG COLD AIR
ADVECTION SHOULD MIX DOWN THESE WINDS THROUGH THURSDAY. WAVES SHOULD
BECOME HIGH DURING THIS PERIOD.

THE HIGH WAVES AND COLDER TEMPERATURES SHOULD ALLOW FOR MODERATE
FREEZING SPRAY TO OCCUR WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. HEAVY FREEZING
SPRAY IS POSSIBLE DURING THIS TIME. GIVEN JUST BORDERLINE CRITERIA
BEING MET...WILL JUST MENTION IN THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK FOR
NOW.

WINDS SHOULD SUBSIDE...ALONG WITH THE MODERATE FREEZING SPRAY...BY
LATE THURSDAY NIGHT.
