AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
401 AM CDT SUN APR 5 2009

.SYNOPSIS...
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND RUC ANALYSIS SHOW UPPER LEVEL LOW SPINNING
OVER NEBRASKA EARLY THIS MORNING. SURFACE LOW IS TRACKING ACROSS
NORTHERN MO. 850-700MB FRONTOGENESIS /FGEN/ IS PRODUCING HIGH RADAR
REFLECTIVITIES OVER NORTHERN IL AT 830Z. GFS SEEMED TO PICK UP ON
THE LOCATION OF THIS FEATURE A LITTLE BETTER THAN THE NAM. LIGHTNING
PLOT SHOWS ISOLATED STRIKES WITHIN THIS AREA. PRECIP STARTED AS
SLEET AND SNOW AT ROCKFORD...THEN QUICKLY CHANGED TO ALL SNOW AS
EVAPORATIVE COOLING COOLED THE COLUMN.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
TODAY AND TONIGHT...
FGEN EXPECTED TO SWING UP ACROSS SOUTHERN WI THIS MORNING...THEN
PIVOT AROUND THE LOW OVER CENTRAL IL THIS AFTERNOON. MODEL CROSS
SECTIONS ACROSS THE CWA FROM NW TO SE SHOW SLOPED FGEN...BUT THE
BEST FGEN LIES BELOW THE DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE /DGZ/ THIS AFTERNOON
INTO THE EVENING...WHICH WOULD INHIBIT THE BEST SNOW ACCUMULATIONS.

HIGH OMEGA VALUES LOOK TO COINCIDE WITH THE BEST FGEN AND NEG EPV
WITHIN DGZ THIS MORNING FOR MKE...BUT NOT SO MUCH IN THE
AFTERNOON...WHICH LINES UP WITH WHAT IS ON RADAR ATTM.

GFS MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW STEEP LAPSE RATES ABOVE 700MB AND THEREFORE
ELEVATED CAPE IN THE 200-400 J/KG RANGE. THIS WOULD BE CONDUCIVE FOR
SLEET. ADDED SLIGHT CHANCE/ISOLATED TSTORM POSSIBILITY FOR SOME
AREAS EXPECTING THE HEAVIER MIXED PRECIP THIS MORNING.

PRECIP TYPE IS THE NEXT CHALLENGE FOR TODAY. BOTH THE NAM/GFS SHOW
-0C TEMPS AT 12Z...THEN SHOW A SUDDEN WARMING OF THE 850-700MB LAYER
AROUND 18Z TODAY...BRINGING THE +0C LAYER OVER OUR FAR SE. THE LAYER
COOLS AGAIN BY 00Z. ADDED MENTION OF SLEET TO THE SE FOR THIS
AFTERNOON.

WHERE WILL THE SNOW ACCUMULATIONS BE? QPF FIELDS HAVE COME INTO
RELATIVELY GOOD AGREEMENT IN THE MODELS NOW. HPC WENT WITH 2/3 GFS
AND 1/3 ECMWF THE NAM SEEMS OVERDONE IN SOME LOCATIONS...INCLUDING
MKE. WITH SNOW RATIOS AROUND 10:1 THIS MORNING AND 13:1 TO 16:1 THIS
EVENING...SNOW AMOUNTS STILL END UP BEING IN THE 2 TO 6 INCH RANGE.
MOST SNOW LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE IN THE SOUTHERN TIER COUNTIES OF THE
CWA WITH 4 TO 6 INCHES POSSIBLE. LIGHTER AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 3 INCHES
ARE EXPECTED OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE CWA.

SINCE A MIX OF PRECIP IS POSSIBLE WITH MODERATE SNOW AND SLEET
ACCUMULATIONS IN THE SOUTH...ADVISORY STILL LOOKS GOOD. KEPT
ADVISORY GOING WITH LESS SNOW ACCUMULATION EXPECTED OVER THE NORTH
HALF DUE TO THE STRONG WINDS BEHIND THE SYSTEM. ALSO...GFS CONTINUES
TO HINT AT A LITTLE HIGHER QPF FOR THOSE NORTHERN COUNTIES AS A
SECOND ROUND OF FGEN/DEFORMATION IS PROGGED TO HIT THAT REGION THIS
EVENING...SO THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY IN OUR FORECAST.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...SLOWER EASTWARD PROGRESSION OF 500 MB WAVE AS
IT CLOSES OFF OVER NE IN/NW OH MONDAY MORNING KEEPS CHC OF SNOW
SHOWERS IN FORECAST ALL DAY MONDAY...AND INTO THE EVENING IN THE
EAST. ALSO KEPT SCT FLURRIES IN FOR TUE AS BOTH NAM AND GFS SHOW A
SHORT WAVE DROPPING THRU THE REGION WITH COLD CYCLONIC FLOW.

.LONG TERM...
MID-RANGE MODELS COMING INTO SOME AGREEMENT WITH TIMING AND
PLACEMENT OF NEXT PLAINS WAVE AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW...WITH GFS
A BIT FASTER BUT IN LINE WITH ECMWF...TRACKING SURFACE FEATURE
ACROSS SRN IL AND UP THE OHIO RVR VLY. THIS KEEPS MAIN PRECIPITATION
SHIELD TO THE SOUTH...HOWEVER BOTH INDICATE A DECENT NRN STREAM
SHORT WAVE TROF DROPPING ACROSS THE WRN GREAT LAKES.

&&

.AVIATION...EXPECT MVFR/IFR CIGS AND VSBYS TO DEVELOP OVER TAF
SITES THIS MORNING AND REMAIN OSCILLATING BETWEEN THESE
CATEGORIES INTO TONIGHT WITH PERIODS OF SYNOPTIC SCALE FORCING AND
ELEVATED INSTABILITY.  WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN FROM THE NORTHEAST TO
15 TO 25KTS AND REMAIN BLUSTERY THROUGH TONIGHT.  DYNAMIC COOLING
AND INITIAL DRYNESS SHOULD RESULT IN A MIX OF PRECIP THIS MORNING
CHANGING TO ALL SNOW THIS AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING IN THE FAR
SOUTHEAST. A PERIOD OF SLEET LIKELY...ESPECIALLY IN SOUTHEAST.

&&

.MARINE...PEEKS OF MODIS SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE DATA FROM EARLY
SATURDAY OVER LAKE MICHIGAN REVEAL LAKE TEMPS AROUND 35-36 DEGREES
IN THE NEARSHORE TO AROUND 38 DEGREES OVER THE OPEN WATERS. FORECAST
SOUNDINGS FROM BOTH GFS/NAM SHOW POTENTIAL FOR GALE FORCE GUSTS
REACHING SURFACE BEGINNING EARLY THIS EVENING AND LASTING THRU
MONDAY MORNING AS PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS WITH LOW PRESSURE
UNDERGOING CYCLOGENESIS LATER TODAY AND THIS EVENING OVER IN/OH.
INCREASING LOW LEVEL WINDS PULL COLDER AIR ACROSS NEARSHORE WATERS
RESULTING IN STEEPENING LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES. HENCE WILL UPGRADE TO
GALE WARNING WITH BEST POTENTIAL FROM NORTH POINT LIGHT TO WINTHROP
HARBOR...BUT CAN NOT DISCOUNT POTENTIAL FOR GALES AT 60METER SGNW3
CMAN. ALWAYS QUESTIONABLE AT PWAW3.
