AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
330 AM CDT MON OCT 25 2010

FORECAST FOCUS ON HIGH WIND EVENT AFFECTING THE AREA TUESDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY.

.TODAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE HIGH.

BRIEF RESPITE BETWEEN SYSTEMS WITH FIRST WEAKENING SYSTEM PULLING
AWAY.  PATCHY FOG THIS MORNING SHOULD NOT CAUSE WIDESPREAD PROBLEMS
WITH OVERALL ENVIRONMENT NOT REAL FAVORABLE FOR DENSE FOG.

SPOTTY SHOWERS JUST NOW CROSSING INTO EASTERN PART OF CWA WITH LAST
VORTICITY MAXIMUM AND SHOULD BE GONE BY 12Z.

.TONIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE HIGH.

EXCELLENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN GFS AND ECMWF...SREF AND GFS ENSEMBLES.
FOR NOW WILL THROW OUT MUCH SLOWER OUTLIER NAM.  BULK OF
PRECIPITATION SHOULD STAY WEST OF AREA THROUGH EVENING...SO HAVE
RATHER LOW POPS IN THE EAST TO START AND PROGRESSIVELY INCREASE TO
CATEGORICAL AFTER MIDNIGHT.  VERY STRONG PRESSURE FALLS AHEAD OF
EXPLOSIVELY DEEPENING LOW MAY RESULT IN BRIEF PERIOD OF GUSTS AROUND
ADVISORY CRITERIA NEAR THE LAKE BETWEEN 09Z AND 12Z...BUT STABILITY
ISSUES IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER MAY KEEP THINGS UNDER CONTROL.

EXPECT GALE FORCE WINDS IN 06-12Z TIME PERIOD OVER LAKE.  TO KEEP
THINGS SIMPLE AND COMPROMISE...STARTED STORM WARNING AT 09Z BUT
EXPECT STORM FORCE GUSTS TO HOLD OFF UNTIL LATER TUESDAY.

.SHORT TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE HIGH.

MAINTAINED HIGH POPS THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS ON TUESDAY...WITH THE
STRONG COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE...STRONG 850 MB LOW LEVEL JET NOSE AND
MOISTURE FEED INTO THE FORECAST AREA...AND NEGATIVELY TILTED 500MB
SHORTWAVE/VORTICITY MAXIMUM MOVING THROUGH. PREFER THE FASTER
GFS/ECMWF TIMING VERSUS THE SLOWER NAM WITH THIS BOUNDARY.

MAIN ISSUE WILL BE THE HIGH WINDS AFFECTING THE AREA BEHIND THE
FRONT TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH A HIGH WIND
WARNING ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA FROM 12Z TUESDAY THROUGH 00Z
THURSDAY. INTENSE CYCLOGENESIS OCCURS WITH THE SURFACE LOW...MEETING
BOMB CYCLOGENESIS CRITERIA. IT DEEPENS FROM AROUND 982 MB IN
NORTHEAST IOWA AT 06Z TUESDAY...TO AROUND 960 MB IN SOUTHWEST
ONTARIO CANADA AT 06Z WEDNESDAY...A DROP OF AROUND 22 MB IN 24
HOURS.

VERY STRONG PRESSURE RISES OCCUR AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE
TUESDAY...WITH 3 HOUR PRESSURE RISES OF AROUND 8 MB. THIS...COMBINED
WITH A STRONG 850 MB WESTERLY LOW LEVEL JET OF 45 TO 55
KNOTS...YIELDS MAXIMUM WIND GUST POTENTIAL OF 50 TO 60 KNOTS PER
LOCAL PAST EVENTS REFERENCE CHART. AREA FORECAST SOUNDINGS FOR
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY INDICATE GOOD POTENTIAL FOR MIXING DOWN 50
KNOT PLUS WINDS...WITH THE AVERAGE WINDS IN THE MIXING LAYER EACH
DAY AROUND 50 KNOTS.

THESE WINDS GET AS LOW AS 3000 FEET DURING THE DAY...AND GIVEN THE
STRONG DOWNWARD MOMENTUM MIXING EXPECTED...GUSTS TO THIS VALUE AND
HIGHER ARE LIKELY. THERE MAY A LULL IN WARNING CRITERIA GUSTS
TUESDAY NIGHT...AS MIXING MAY NOT BE AS ROBUST AS DURING THE DAY.
STILL...WINDS WILL BE QUITE STRONG...AND WILL NOT EXCLUDE THIS
PERIOD FROM THE WARNING.

THE TRACK AND INTENSITY OF THIS SYSTEM RESEMBLES THE NOVEMBER 10
1998 STORM...WHICH PRODUCED WIDESPREAD 50 TO 70 KNOT WIND GUSTS
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...AND SOME GUSTS OVER HURRICANE FORCE IN
THE EASTERN PARTS OF THE AREA. THE MAIN DIFFERENCE IS THIS SYSTEM
LINGERS FOR AN EXTRA DAY COMPARED TO THE 1998 STORM...SO THERE IS
MORE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGE FROM THE STRONG WINDS THAN IN 1998.

SYSTEM FINALLY SHIFTS EASTWARD WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...WITH
THE STRONG WINDS SLOWLY SUBSIDING. STILL WILL SEE WINDY CONDITIONS
DURING THIS TIME.

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE
MEDIUM.

HIGH PRESSURE AXIS MOVING THROUGH THE REGION SHOULD BRING QUIET
WEATHER FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. WARM AIR ADVECTION AHEAD OF
NEXT SYSTEM SHOULD BRING MILDER TEMPERATURES FOR SATURDAY. LOW MOVES
THROUGH THE REGION LATER IN THE WEEKEND...BRINGING CHANCE FOR
PRECIPITATION.

&&

.AVIATION...TRICKY SITUATION EARLY THIS MORNING WITH PLENTY OF LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE AND LIGHT SURFACE WINDS.  BROKEN CLOUDS SHOULD
EVENTUALLY CLEAR OUT TOWARD DAYBREAK.  ALREADY PATCHES OF DENSE FOG
SUCH AS AT KBUU.  PROBLEM FOR WIDESPREAD DENSE FOG IS THAT 925 MB
WINDS ARE STILL AROUND 20-25 KNOTS PER AREA PROFILERS AND VAD
WINDS.

MOST LIKELY SCENARIO IS A PERIOD OF LIFR STRATUS BUT CONFIDENCE
RATHER LOW AT THIS TIME.  GUIDANCE HAS BACKED WAY OFF AND WE ARE
RUNNING OUT OF TIME FOR THIS TO OCCUR.

OTHERWISE LOOKS LIKE VFR LATER TODAY AND INTO TONIGHT...WITH
CONDITIONS GOING DOWN HILL LATE TONIGHT WITH BATCH OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AND INCREASING SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WINDS AHEAD OF
STRONG COLD FRONT.

THEN A COUPLE OF DAYS OF STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS BOTH TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY.  GUSTS OF 40 TO 50 KNOTS POSSIBLE BOTH DAYS.

&&

.MARINE...WITH CLOSE ANALOGS TO THE NOV 10 1998 STORM WHICH PRODUCED
WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS OF HURRICANE FORCE FROM PORT WASHINGTON AREA
DOWN TO ILLINOIS BORDER...HAVE UPGRADED TO STORM WARNING FROM LATE
TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST GALES WILL INCREASE TO ABOUT 40 KNOTS LATE
TONIGHT BEFORE SHIFTING TO SOUTHWEST AND GUSTING TO NEAR 50 KNOTS
TUESDAY.  THERE WILL BE SOMEWHAT OF A LULL TUESDAY NIGHT...WHERE
WINDS MAY DROP BRIEFLY UNDER GALE FORCE FOR A TIME.

THE WEST TO SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL PICK UP AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY.  WINDS
OF 60 KNOTS AT 5000 FEET AND 75 KNOTS AT 10000 FEET ARE AVAILABLE TO
MIX DOWN TO THE SURFACE...WITH GUSTS AGAIN OF 50 KNOTS AND PERHAPS
55 KNOTS TOWARD OPEN WATER.
