901 PM CDT THU SEP 23 2010

.UPDATE...SURFACE WARM FRONT NEARLY UP TO THE WI/MI BORDER THIS
EVENING WITH GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS NOW OVERSPREADING MOST OF THE
FORECAST AREA. SURFACE LOW CONTINUES TO VERY SLOWLY DEEPEN AS IT
HEADS TOWARD NORTHWEST WISCONSIN. ALTHOUGH WIDESPREAD
PRECIPITATION HAS BECOME MORE SCATTERED OVER LAST HOUR OR
SO...ANOTHER BAND OF LIGHT TO MODERATE RAINFALL WITH SOME EMBEDDED
THUNDER...NOW HEADING RAPIDLY NORTHEAST TOWARD THE FORECAST AREA
AHEAD OF COLD FRONT CROSSING THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. 00Z
GRB SOUNDINGS INDICATED ABOUT 50 KNOTS AROUND 975 MB...THUS IT
WILL NOT TAKE MUCH TO TRANSPORT WINDS TO SURFACE IN THE WARM
SECTOR. HAVE SEEN A FEW NON-THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS TO 30-35 MPH.
WITH VERY WET GROUND OVER NEARLY THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA WILL NOT
TAKE MUCH TO TOPPLE A FEW TREES...IN FACT WJVW-TV IN RHINELANDER
REPORTED A FEW TREES DOWN NEAR HIGHWAY 47 AND COUNTY K AROUND 745
PM THIS EVENING WITH SOME NON-THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS. SPC SWODY1 UPDATE
MAINTAINED SLIGHT RISK OVER MOST OF FORECAST AREA PARTLY DUE TO WIND
GUST POTENTIAL...THIS SEEMS REASONABLE.

.PREV DISCUSSION...ISSUED AT 340 PM CDT THU SEP 23 2010...

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND FRIDAY
IMPRESSIVE RAIN TOTALS WITH SOME SPOTS OVER 5 INCHES SINCE LAST NIGHT.
WARM FRONT AT 3 PM EXTENDED FROM SHEBOYGAN TO NEAR MARSHFIELD. TO
THE NORTH OF THE FRONT...TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE 60S WHILE READINGS
TO THE SOUTH WERE IN THE 70S AND 80S. OSHKOSH DID REACH 84 DEGREES
AT 3 PM. WARM FRONT EXPECTED TO PUSH SLOWLY NORTHWARD TONIGHT AS
LOW PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION. ANOTHER ROUND OF
SHOWERS AND SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED ALONG THE COLD FRONT
THIS EVENING INTO EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. SOME OF THE STRONGER STORMS
COULD PRODUCE STRONG WINDS. THE RAIN SHOULD DIMINISH TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS OVERNIGHT. ON FRIDAY...GUSTY WESTERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED
BEHIND THE DEPARTING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. TEMPERATURES ARE ONLY
EXPECTED TO REBOUND A FEW DEGREES FROM THE MORNING LOWS. MIDNIGHT
SHIFT MAY NEED TO POST WIND ADVISORIES...ESPECIALLY FOR DOOR COUNTY
WHERE WINDS SHOULD TURN TO THE NORTHWEST. BETTER MIXING OVER THE
BAY SHOULD BRING DOWN THE STRONG WINDS TO THE SURFACE. THE FAR
NORTH COULD WIND GUSTS TO NEAR 50 MPH.

LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT THURSDAY.

UPPER FLOW EARLY IN THIS PERIOD CHARACTERIZED BY RIDGE NEAR 110W
AND GENERAL WEAKNESS/TROF OVER GREAT LAKES. ONGOING WAVE IS
NUDGED EAST BY FAST MOVING PIECE OF ENERGY SLIDING SE FROM
SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN. GENERAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN CONSECUTIVE RUNS
OF GFS (UP TO THE 23/12Z RUN)...THE 23/12Z GEM AND 23/00Z ECMWF
ON THIS SYSTEM...WITH JUST A LITTLE DIFFERENCE "ALONG THE EDGES."
AS FAR AS OUR FORECAST AREA...INITIALLY THIS WILL IMPACT WHETHER
OR NOT THE FAR W AND S COUNTIES HAVE A SHOWER OR NOT AND THE
AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVER ON SUNDAY.

LATER AS THE WAVE ROUNDS THE TROF...THE 23/00Z ECMWF MOVES THE
SYSTEM DUE N FROM OHIO VALLEY LATE MON/TUE WHILE THE 23/12Z GFS
SLIDES IT E AND AWAY FROM STATE. THE GEM IS A COMPROMISE OF THE
TWO. IN ADDITION...THE 23/12Z GFS BRINGS A WEAK TROF THROUGH THE
STATE ON TUE. WITH THE VARIED SOLUTIONS TO THIS TIME PERIOD...
WILL STICK CLOSE TO PREVIOUS FORECAST AND KEEP SMALL CHANCE TUE.

ANOTHER COLD FRONT IN NW FLOW MOVES ACROSS AREA LATE WED WITH
SMALL CHANCE FOR SHOWERS.

TEMPS DURING PERIOD START OUT AOB NORMS...BUT GENERALLY ABOVE
NORM EARLY NEXT WEEK...ESPECIALLY MAXES.

AVIATION...IFR CIGS AND SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON
ACROSS NORTHERN WISCONSIN...NORTH OF A WAUSAU TO STURGEON BAY
LINE. THESE CEILINGS SHOULD IMPROVE TO MVFR CONDITIONS AS WARM
FRONT AND SHOWERS LIFTS NORTHWARD. ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS AND
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THIS EVENING AS A COLD FRONT
MOVES ACROSS THE STATE. THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD TAPER OFF TO
SCATTERED SHOWERS OVERNIGHT. GUSTY WINDS WILL CONTINUE OVERNIGHT
WHILE STRONG WESTERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED ON FRIDAY. GUSTS TO
40 MPH ARE LIKELY AT MANY SPOTS WITH SOME LOCATIONS OVER DOOR
COUNTY APPROACHING 50 MPH.

MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR TONIGHT.
EXPECT TO UP GRADE TO A GALE WARNING ON FRIDAY WITH GUSTY WEST
TO NORTHWEST WINDS...ESPECIALLY OVER NORTHERN DOOR COUNTY
FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND FRIDAY EVENING.

HYDROLOGY...AXIS OF MAX RAINFALL OCCURRED ACROSS WOOD AND PORTAGE
COUNTIES OVER THE PAST 18 HOURS. MAX AMOUNTS OFF ARX/MKX RADARS
(KGRB IS STILL DOWN) CLOSELY MATCHED RAINFALL REPORTS OF 4 TO 5.5
INCHES. SIGNIFICANT FLASH FLOODING RESULTED IN NUMEROUS ROAD
CLOSURES DUE TO WASHOUTS OR HIGH WATER OVER WOOD AND NW PORTAGE
COUNTIES...AND RECENT CALLS TO WOOD COUNTY INDICATED THAT WATER
WAS STILL RISING IN SOME AREAS DESPITE A LULL IN THE PCPN. OPTED
TO COMBINE THE FFW FOR WOOD/PORTAGE AND THE URBAN AND SMALL STREAM
FLOOD ADVISORY INTO A LARGE AREAL FLOOD WARNING EARLIER THIS
AFTERNOON. CALLS TO MARATHON...LINCOLN...LANGLADE...OCONTO...
WAUPACA AND OUTAGAMIE COUNTIES INDICATED THAT NOTHING SERIOUS WAS
OCCURRING THERE...SO WILL NEED TO DECIDE IF SOME OF THE FLOOD
WARNING CAN BE TRIMMED BACK...FACTORING IN ADDITIONAL PCPN THAT
WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT THIS EVENING.
REGARDLESS...WILL DEFINITELY NEED TO CONTINUE THE FLOOD WARNING
FOR WOOD/PORTAGE COUNTIES THROUGH THIS EVG. TSK
