...WIND CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 6 PM WEDNESDAY TO

A WIND CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 6 PM WEDNESDAY TO
12 PM CST FRIDAY. 

BITTER COLD IS ALREADY IN PLACE ACROSS SOUTHERN WISCONSIN...
THOUGH WINDS SHOULD BE RELATIVELY LIGHT TONIGHT AND NOT ENHANCE
WIND CHILLS. HOWEVER...AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES THROUGH THE OHIO
VALLEY WEDNESDAY AND AN ARCTIC HIGH MOVES INTO THE DAKOTAS...EVEN
COLDER AIR AND BRISK NORTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED BY WEDNESDAY
EVENING.

AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF WIND CHILL READINGS AROUND 30 BELOW ZERO
ARE EXPECTED FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. IN
GENERAL...WINDS WILL RANGE FROM 15 TO 25 MPH WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS
TEMPERATURES FALL TO BETWEEN 5 AND 15 BELOW ZERO. HIGH
TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY FAIL TO REACH ZERO ON THURSDAY DESPITE
SUNSHINE...WITH NORTHWEST WINDS OF 10 TO 20 MPH.

THE MERCURY WILL PLUNGE TO BETWEEN 15 AND 25 BELOW ZERO THURSDAY
NIGHT ALONG WITH 10 MPH WEST WINDS. READINGS WILL NOT BE QUITE AS
COLD RIGHT ALONG LAKE MICHIGAN WHERE LOWS AROUND 10 BELOW ZERO
ARE FORECAST.

A PERIOD OF WIND CHILL READINGS APPROACHING 40 BELOW ZERO IS
POSSIBLE FROM MIDNIGHT FRIDAY TO MID MORNING FRIDAY. THUS AN
UPGRADE TO A WIND CHILL WARNING MAY BE REQUIRED IN LATER
FORECASTS FOR PORTIONS OF THE AREA AWAY FROM LAKE MICHIGAN.

WIND CHILL READINGS SHOULD RISE ABOVE 20 BELOW ZERO AROUND MIDDAY
ON FRIDAY.

A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MEANS THAT VERY COLD AIR AND STRONG WINDS
WILL COMBINE TO GENERATE LOW WIND CHILLS FROM 20 BELOW TO
34 BELOW ZERO. THIS WILL RESULT IN FROST BITE AND LEAD TO
HYPOTHERMIA IF PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN. IF YOU MUST VENTURE
OUTDOORS...MAKE SURE YOU WEAR A HAT AND GLOVES.

CST FRIDAY...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN HAS ISSUED A
WIND CHILL WARNING...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 6 PM THIS EVENING TO
12 PM CST FRIDAY. THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT.

AN ARCTIC HIGH WILL PUSH INTO THE DAKOTAS TONIGHT...SENDING VERY
COLD AIR SOUTH INTO THE GREAT LAKES. THIS COLD AIR WILL REMAIN IN
PLACE FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. AIR TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TONIGHT
THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT ARE THE COLDEST OBSERVED OVER SOUTHERN
WISCONSIN IN 13 YEARS.

LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT ARE EXPECTED TO DROP INTO THE LOW 20S
BELOW ZERO OVER MUCH OF SOUTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN...AROUND 18 BELOW
OVER SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN...AND AROUND 13 BELOW NEAR THE LAKE.
GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS BETWEEN 10 TO 20 MPH WILL PRODUCE DANGEROUS
WIND CHILL VALUES OF 35 TO 45 BELOW.

HIGH TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY WILL STRUGGLE TO EVEN REACH 5
BELOW...DESPITE SUNSHINE. CONTINUED GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS OF 10 TO
20 MPH WILL PRODUCE WIND CHILL VALUES AROUND 30 BELOW THROUGHOUT
MUCH OF THE DAY.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL SINK SOUTH INTO MISSOURI FOR THURSDAY NIGHT.
CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHTER WINDS WILL ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO PLUMMET
INTO THE 20S BELOW MOST PLACES...EXCEPT TEENS BELOW NEAR THE LAKE.
SOME LOCATIONS IN THE WISCONSIN RIVER VALLEY MAY REACH 30 BELOW.
WIND CHILLS WILL AGAIN RANGE FROM 35 BELOW TO 45 BELOW.

AIR TEMPERATURES WILL FINALLY RISE ABOVE ZERO LATE FRIDAY MORNING
AS WARMER AIR SURGES NORTH...ENDING THE DANGEROUS COLD WAVE.

A WIND CHILL WARNING IS ISSUED WHEN THE COMBINATION OF VERY COLD
AIR TEMPERATURES AND WIND WILL CREATE DANGEROUSLY LOW WIND CHILL
VALUES OF 35 DEGREES BELOW ZERO OR COLDER FOR 3 HOURS OR LONGER.

THESE CONDITIONS WILL RESULT IN FROSTBITE...AND COULD LEAD TO
HYPOTHERMIA OR DEATH...IF PROPER PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN. IF
YOU MUST VENTURE OUTDOORS...WEAR SEVERAL LAYERS OF CLOTHING AND
COVER ALL EXPOSED SKIN. FROSTBITE CAN OCCUR IN AS LITTLE AS 10
MINUTES. IF CLOTHES BECOME WET...THEY SHOULD IMMEDIATELY BE CHANGED
FOR DRY ONES.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
237 PM CST TUE JAN 13 2009

FORECAST FOCUS ON DOWNGRADING IMPACT OF NEXT LOW PASSING BY...THEN
ARCTIC CHILL.

MADE A QUICK CANCELLATION OF MOST OF THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY
EARLIER THIS MORNING. MODEL TRENDS AND LATEST RUNS HAVE THE SFC
LOW PASSING FARTHER SOUTH WITH DIMINISHING QPF. DESPITE HIGH
LIQ/SNOW RATIOS /20 OR 25 TO 1/ IT DOESN/T LOOK LIKE WE WILL SEE 4
OR MORE INCHES IN THE CWA. ALSO WITH THE LOW GOING FARTHER SOUTH
THE WIND WILL BE LOWER WITH BLOWING SNOW NOT MUCH OF AN
ISSUE...THOUGH DRIFTING PROBLEMS WILL REMAIN A HEADACHE FOR ROAD
CREWS. ALL OF THE BEST FORCING MECHANISMS...Q-VECTOR
CONVERGENCE...DENDRITE ZONE FRONTOGENETIC VECTOR CONVERGENCE AND
ISENTROPIC LIFT...FOCUS TO THE SOUTH OF THE CWA. WE STILL EXPECT A
PERIOD OF SNOW LATE TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING...THEN
TAPERING OFF QUICKLY FROM WEST TO EAST. MIXING RATIOS HAVE DROPPED
TO A PATHETIC 1 TO 1.2G/KG. SO HAVE RERUN SNOW ACCUMS AND NOW GET
AN INCH OR LESS IN THE NORTH AND A FEW 3 INCH AMOUNTS IN THE FAR
SOUTH. MAINLY IN THE FAR SOUTHWEST CLOSER TO THE PASSING
LOW...AND IN THE SOUTHEAST WHERE SOME LAKE ENHANCEMENT WILL COME
INTO PLAY IN THE WAKE OF THE LOW.

TEMPS TONIGHT WILL PLUMMENT FROM SUNSET THROUGH ABOUT 9 PM...THEN
RISE AS CLOUDS SPILL IN AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING LOW.

THE BOTTOM DROPS OUT ON TEMPS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THE MAIN ARCITIC
HIGH DROPS IN BEHIND THE LOW. ONLY SLIGHT ADJUSTMENTS TO TEMPS
FROM WHAT WE HAD. LOOKING AT LOCAL CLIMO SUGGESTS THAT THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY WILL BE THE COLDEST WE HAVE BEEN IN THE LAST 9 TO 13
YEARS. WIND CHILLS WILL BE HITTING 25 TO NEAR 35 BELOW FROM WED
NGT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY ADVISORIES AT
THIS TIME...THOUGH THEY WILL LIKELY BE ISSUED DURING THE NEXT
EARLY MORNING PACKAGE. MAIN REASON FOR HOLDING OFF IS THE
CONFUSING PICTURE IT WOULD PAINT WITH CURRENT NEIGHBORING
HEADLINES/WIND CHILL CRITERIA.

PROGRESSIVE PATTERN CONTINUES LATE IN THE WEEK. THE HIGH SLIPS OFF
AND WAA KICKS IN WITH THE NEXT CLIPPER COMING DOWN. CHANCE FOR
SNOW AGAIN FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...AND TEMPS LIFT OUT OF THE
DEEP FREEZE. SNOW AMOUNTS LOOK FAIRLY LIGHT.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR WITH WINDS SLOWLY SUBSIDING THIS AFTERNOON AS
SURFACE RIDGE APPROACHES THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THEN NEXT
CLIPPER DROPS SOUTHEAST AND REACHES IOWA/NORTHEAST MISSOURI LATE
TONIGHT.  THIS SHOULD BRING IFR CIGS/VISIBILITIES BACK INTO SOUTHERN
WISCONSIN AFTER MIDNIGHT. NOT SURE EXACTLY HOW MUCH VISIBILITY WILL
BE AFFECTED DUE TO THE SNOW...BUT LIFR EXPECTED AT TIMES. HEAVIEST
SNOW NOW LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE TO THE SOUTH OF ALL TAF SITES. SNOW
ACCUMULATION FOR KMSN SHOULD BE AROUND 2 INCHES...AND 2 TO 3 FOR
KMKE AND KENW DUE TO SOME LAKE ENHANCEMENT.

&&

.MARINE...ANOTHER CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL PASS THROUGH THE REGION
TONIGHT.  THIS LOW WILL REACH IOWA TONIGHT...THEN INTO THE UPPER
OHIO VALLEY REGION WEDNESDAY. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED
FOR LATE WED AFTERNOON/EARLY WED EVENING. MODERATE TO HEAVY FREEZING
SPRAY IS LIKELY FROM WED NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING DUE TO VERY
COLD TEMPERATURES AND ELEVATED NORTHWEST WINDS.

&&

.MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WI...NONE.
LM...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 3 PM CST THIS AFTERNOON FOR
LMZ643>646.
