AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
305 AM CDT FRI SEP 24 2010

.SHORT TERM...TODAY/TONIGHT/SATURDAY. SCATTERED SHOWERS LINGERED
ALONG AND AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT TRACKING OVER THE STATE EARLY THIS
MORNING. THE SHOWERS WERE MOVING FAST AND DIMINISHING SO LITTLE
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL EXPECTED WITH THIS SYSTEM. WILL END THE FLOOD
WATCH OVER THE AREA AT ZONE ISSUANCE...HOWEVER FLOOD HEADLINES
WILL CONTINUE AS NEEDED ESPECIALLY FOR AREA RIVERS WHICH WILL SEE
THE RESULTS OF THE HEAVY RAIN THE LAST 36 HOURS. SEE THE HYDROLOGY
SECTION BELOW FOR MORE DETAIL ON HYDRO CONCERNS.

WHILE THE RAIN HAS DIMINISHED...THE NEXT IMMEDIATE FORECAST
CONCERN IS THE WINDS AND POSSIBLE HEADLINES. WINDS WERE ALREADY
GUSTY TO 40 MPH OVER EC WI WHERE TEMPERATURES WERE STILL IN THE
70S. POTENTIAL WIND ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED FOR AT LEAST DOOR
COUNTY LATER TODAY AS THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT INCREASES WITH
925 WINDS AT 50 KTS. SOME QUESTION WITH THE POTENTIAL OF THESE
WINDS MIXING DOWN DUE ANTICIPATED WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER
PREVENTING MIXING BUT WITH PRES RISE COUPLET AND SUBSIDENT REGION
OF THE UPPER JET...DECIDED TO GO FOR THE ADVISORY. WINDY CONDITION
WILL BE FELT OVER A GOOD PORTION OF FORECAST AREA BUT NOT SURE IF
ADVISORY LEVELS WILL BE APPROACHED.

QUIET WEATHER TO RETURN TONIGHT AS THE DEEP LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
DEPARTS TO THE NORTHEAST AND A WEAK HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE SETTLES
INTO THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES REGION. NEXT SYSTEM IN THE NORTHWEST
FLOW MAINLY DROPS WEST TO SOUTHWEST OF THE AREA SATURDAY. AS A
RESULT...CLOUDS MAY HANG AROUND LONGER OR NEVER EVEN CLEAR OUT.
WILL CONTINUE THE SMALL PCPN MENTION OVER CENTRAL WI SATURDAY
AFTERNOON.

MAX TEMPS OVER EC WI WILL BE FELT THIS MORNING...AT 2 AM MTW STILL
AT 75 DEGREES.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT TUESDAY.

MEDIUM RANGE MODELS ARE STILL STRUGGLING WITH THE INTERACTION
BETWEEN A NORTHERN STREAM SHORTWAVE AND A CUTOFF LOW OVER THE
SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI VALLEY EARLY NEXT WEEK.  WITH HPC SIDING WITH
THE 12Z ECMWF FOR THE CUTOFF LOW...A FARTHER NORTH SOLUTION WOULD
CALL FOR SOME INFLUENCE BETWEEN THE TWO FEATURES...THOUGH NOT TO THE
DEGREE OF THE 12Z ECMWF.  INSTEAD OF TRYING TO BLEND THE 12Z ECMWF
AND 00Z GFS TONITE...WHICH IS DIFFICULT TO DO IN THIS
SCENARIO...WILL INSTEAD MAKE VERY FEW CHANGES IN THE MONDAY AND
TUESDAY TIMEFRAME.

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL CONTINUE
TO DIG OVER THE MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY SATURDAY NIGHT.  THE 00Z NAM
AND 12Z ECMWF STILL PRODUCE LIGHT QPF OVER CENTRAL WISCONSIN
SATURDAY EVENING...BUT THE PREVIOUS SHIFT REMOVED POPS AND IMPACT
APPEARS MINIMAL ENOUGH TO GO WITH A DRY FORECAST.  WILL SEE CLEARING
SKIES OVERNIGHT AS HIGH PRESSURE AND DRIER AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA.
HIGH PRESSURE THEN HANGS AROUND SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT WITH
NORTHEAST WINDS USHERING IN DRY AIR FROM ONTARIO THAT WILL PRODUCE
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES FOR MUCH OF THE AREA.  THE ONLY EXCEPTION MAYBE
OVER THE LAKE MICHIGAN SHORELINE WHERE ONSHORE FLOW AND OVER-LAKE
INSTABILITY COULD CREATE SOME LAKE CLOUDS.  NOT SURE HOW MUCH DRY
AIR WILL BE ALOFT...OR IF MORE MOIST AIR COULD GET RECYCLED FROM
LOWER MICHIGAN INTO THE AREA. SO WILL REMAIN OPTIMISTIC AND DESCRIBE
SKY CONDITIONS AS MOSTLY CLEAR.  HIGHS MOSTLY IN THE LOWER TO MID
60S AND LOWS IN THE 30S AND 40S EACH NIGHT.  WIDESPREAD FROST LOOKS
POSSIBLE SATURDAY NIGHT OVER N-C WISCONSIN...AND POSSIBLY SUNDAY
NIGHT AS WELL.  WILL LOWER TEMPS SUNDAY NIGHT.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...THE NEXT FAST MOVING SHORTWAVE WILL RIDE EAST
ALONG THE US-CANADIAN BORDER AND MOVE INTO THE WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR
REGION BY MIDDAY MONDAY.  WHETHER OR NOT SOME OF THIS SHORTWAVE
ENERGY WILL SPLIT AND REINFORCE THE CLOSED LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN
STATES IS HARD TO SAY.  NOT THAT IT WILL HAVE MUCH IMPACT ON OUR
WEATHER IN NORTHEAST WISCONSIN.  WILL SEE THE SHORTWAVE BRING A
DECAYING COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT.  WITH ONLY WEAK
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE FRONT AND A LACK OF MID-LEVEL MOISTURE...WILL
KEEP THE DRY FORECAST INTACT.  MID-LEVEL RIDGING THEN BUILDS INTO
THE AREA TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT.  TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLOWLY
MODERATING OVER THIS TIME UNDER PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES.  HIGHS IN THE
60S AND LOWS IN THE 40S BOTH DAYS.
&&

.AVIATION...WIDESPREAD IFR CIGS WITH ISOLD MVFR VSBYS DUE TO
SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE THIS MORNING BEFORE LIFTING TO MVFR CIGS
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO TONIGHT. GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL
TURN WEST WITH THE FROPA AND MAY GUST TO 40 MPH. HIGHER GUSTS
POSSIBLE OVER DOOR COUNTY.
&&

.MARINE...WILL UPGRADE TO A GALE WARNING A FEW HOURS EARLIER THIS
MORNING AS SW WINDS NEAR GALE GUSTS NOW ALONG THE LAKE MICHIGAN
SHORELINE. THE BAY MAY LAG WITH REACHING CRITERIA THIS MORNING
UNTIL THE WINDS SHIFT WEST AND BEST PRESSURE GRADIENT WORKS OVER
LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
&&

.HYDROLOGY...WILL END THE FLOOD WATCH AT ZONE ISSUANCE THIS
MORNING. HYDRO CONCERNS ARE TURNING TO MORE OF A RIVER ISSUE AS
SEVERAL RIVERS FORECAST TO RISE ABOVE FLOOD STAGE...AND FOR SOME
LOCATIONS...WELL ABOVE FLOOD STAGE. HAVE ALREADY ISSUED WARNINGS
FOR MOST RIVERS OVER CENTRAL WISCONSIN INCLUDING THE WISCONSIN AND
YELLOW. MONITORING A FEW OTHER RIVERS IN LINCOLN FOR POSSIBLE
HEADLINES AS WELL AS THE EMBARRASS...LITTLE WOLF AND OCONTO FOR
POSSIBLE WARNINGS THIS MORNING. WILL ALSO CONTINUE THE AREAL
FLOOD WARNINGS FOR LOCATIONS OF CENTRAL WISCONSIN STILL IMPACTED
BY ROAD CLOSURES DUE TO DAMAGE ROADS OR PONDED WATER. WILL CHECK
WITH LOCAL COUNTIES THIS MORNING FOR A POSSIBLE EXTENSION OF THOSE
HEADLINES.

...GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT...

A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED OVER WESTERN WISCONSIN WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHEAST TOWARD LAKE SUPERIOR OVERNIGHT. STRONG
SOUTHWEST WINDS JUST A FEW THOUSAND FEET ABOVE THE SURFACE
ARE FORECAST TO APPROACH 55 TO 65 MPH OVER MUCH OF THE FORECAST
AREA. ANY STRONGER SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP IN THIS
ENVIRONMENT ARE CAPABLE OF TRANSPORTING THESE WINDS TOWARD THE
SURFACE...RESULTING IN SURFACE WIND GUSTS THAT COULD REACH 50 MPH.

GIVEN THE WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINFALL OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS AND
VERY SATURATED GROUND...ANY STRONG WIND GUSTS COULD MORE EASILY TOPPLE
TREES.

LOOSE OBJECTS SHOULD BE SECURED AND THOSE TRAVELING IN HIGH
PROFILE VEHICLES SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR STRONG SOUTHWESTERLY WIND
GUSTS.

AS THE COLD FRONT SWEEPS EASTWARD ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
BETWEEN ABOUT 3 AND 6 AM...WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST AND AGAIN
GUST TO 35 OR 4O MPH DURING THE DAY ON FRIDAY.
