AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
312 PM CST SAT DEC 11 2010

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND SUNDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE HIGH.

HAVE DECIDED TO UPGRADE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA TO A BLIZZARD WARNING
FOR THE STRONG STORM SYSTEM MOVING THROUGH THE REGION TONIGHT AND
SUNDAY.

MAIN AREA OF PRECIPITATION PIVOTING NORTHWARD INTO THE AREA...DRIVEN
BY 925-850MB LAYER FRONTOGENESIS RESPONSE...FOCUSED LOW LEVEL WARM
AIR ADVECTION AND TROWAL. STRONG MID TO UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH
IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT SOUTHEAST ACROSS SOUTHEAST IOWA INTO SOUTHERN
ILLINOIS. SHORT TERM MODELS INDICATING STRENGTHENING SURFACE LOW
WILL SHIFT EAST SOUTHEAST ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS...WITH AXIS OF
TROWAL AND LOW LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS RESPONSE SHIFTING ACROSS THE
AREA...ESPECIALLY THE NORTHERN AND NORTHEAST COUNTIES. THESE
FEATURES THEN GRADUALLY SHIFT EASTWARD ON SUNDAY.

EVAPORATIVE COOLING WITH PRECIPITATION MOVING INTO THE AREA SHOULD
BRING SNOW INTO ALL AREAS EXCEPT THE SOUTHEAST COUNTIES BY EARLY
THIS EVENING. THERE...WARMER AIR IN THAT AREA WILL KEEP ANY
PRECIPITATION RAIN EARLY IN THE EVENING...THEN MIX WITH AND CHANGE
TO SNOW BY MIDNIGHT.

MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW IS EXPECTED ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA THIS
EVENING...THEN EVERYWHERE LATER TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY...BEFORE
GRADUALLY TAPERING OFF FROM WEST TO EAST. STRONG LIFT DESCRIBED
ABOVE WILL BRING LARGE QPF AMOUNTS OF AROUND 0.60 INCHES IN THE
SOUTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA TONIGHT AND SUNDAY...TO OVER 1.30
INCHES IN THE NORTHEAST. ROEBBER SNOW RATIO TECHNIQUE GAVE LOW
RATIOS OF AROUND 9 TO 1 DURING THE EVENING...THEN TRANSITION TO HIGH
RATIOS OF GREATER THAN 15 TO 1 FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST LATER
TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY. THIS GIVES SNOW AMOUNTS FROM 6 TO 10 INCHES IN
THE SOUTHEAST...TO 12 TO 15 INCHES ACROSS THE NORTHEAST COUNTIES.

IN ADDITION TO THE SNOW...VERY STRONG WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO KICK IN
ACROSS THE AREA FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST DURING THE EVENING. AREA
FORECAST SOUNDINGS ON MULTIPLE MODELS SHOW MEAN WINDS IN THE LOWEST
FEW THOUSAND FEET AVERAGING AROUND 50 KNOTS...ESPECIALLY LATER
TONIGHT AND SUNDAY. SUSTAINED WINDS OF 20 TO 30 KNOTS ARE ALSO
EXPECTED. THIS WILL LEAD TO BLOWING SNOW...GREATLY REDUCING
VISIBILITIES TO NEAR WHITEOUT AT TIMES. GIVEN THE COMBINATION OF THE
VERY STRONG WINDS AND MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW...A BLIZZARD WARNING
SEEMED JUSTIFIED.

.SUNDAY NIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM.

STILL QUITE WINDY IN THE EVENING WITH CONTINUED BLOWING AND
DRIFTING SNOW. MAY STILL SEE SOME LIGHT SNOW/SHOWERS IN THE FAR
EAST...CLOSE TO THE LAKE. PRESSURE GRADIENT JUST GRADUALLY
RELAXES...AND DIURNAL TRENDS SHOULD KNOCK DOWN THE INTENSITY OF
THE GUSTS. WE MAY END UP EXTENDING WINTER HEADLINES INTO THIS
PERIOD LATER ON DOWN THE ROAD. FOR NOW...WILL HAVE HEADLINES
EXPIRE AT 6 PM SUNDAY. COLD AIR BEGINS TO FLOW IN AND WILL SEE
LOWS MONDAY MORNING NEAR 10 BELOW IN THE FAR WEST TO 7 ABOVE IN
THE FAR EAST.

.MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE HIGH.

BITTERLY COLD WITH GRADUALLY DIMINISHING WIND AS HIGH PRESSURE
SLOWLY BUILDS IN. SOME SUNSHINE RETURNS AS WELL. THE AXIS OF THE
HIGH IS OVERHEAD TUESDAY MORNING. THIS WILL BE OUR COLDEST MOMENT
WITH LOWS TUESDAY MORNING DROPPING TO NEAR 10 TO 15 BELOW WEST OF
MADISON TO THE LOWER SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE ZERO IN THE FAR EAST.

.WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM.

AS RIDGE AXIS SHIFTS EAST...UPSTREAM BAROCLINIC ZONE APPROACHES AS
TEMPS MODIFY IN RETURN FLOW. A COMBINATION OF DEEP WAA AND A MID
LEVEL SHORTWAVE DIVING IN FROM THE NORTHWEST ALONG THE BAROCLINIC
ZONE COULD LEAD TO ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOWFALL. AT THIS
POINT...AMOUNTS SHOULD BE IN THE 1 TO 3 INCH RANGE.

&&

.AVIATION...PREVAILING IFR CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT AND SUNDAY
WITH THE STORM. CHANGE TO SNOW AT KMSN BY 22Z SATURDAY...KUES BY 04Z
SUNDAY...AND KMKE AND KENW BY 07Z SUNDAY. THERE WILL BE LIFR TO
VLIFR VISIBILITIES MAINLY LATER THIS EVENING THROUGH MOST OF
SUNDAY...WITH THE SNOW BANDS TONIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY...THEN WITH
THE BLOWING SNOW BEGINNING LATER TONIGHT AND LASTING THROUGH AT
LEAST SUNDAY. LIFR TO VLIFR CEILINGS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE AT TIMES WITH
THE HEAVIER SNOW BANDS.

WINDS WILL BACK TO THE NORTHEAST AND NORTH TONIGHT...AND BECOME VERY
STRONG AND GUSTY LATE TONIGHT AND SUNDAY. SUSTAINED NORTH WINDS OF
20 TO 30 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED AFTER 08Z TO 10Z SUNDAY...WITH GUSTS OF
40 TO 50 KNOTS POSSIBLE.

&&

.MARINE...ADJUSTED SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY TO END AT 06Z SUNDAY...AND
UPGRADED TO A STORM WARNING FROM 06Z SUNDAY UNTIL 12Z MONDAY. BRISK
SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT...BUILDING WAVES OF 3 TO 6
FEET. THE WINDS WILL BACK NORTH WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE LOW...AND
WILL BECOME VERY STRONG AFTER MIDNIGHT. FREQUENT GUSTS TO 50 KNOTS
ARE THEN EXPECTED THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...AS WINDS BACK NORTHWEST.
THE WINDS WILL GENERATE VERY HIGH AND DANGEROUS WAVES OF 14 TO 18
FEET...ESPECIALLY TOWARD THE OPEN WATERS.

THESE WINDS AND COOLING WATER TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 40S SHOULD
GENERATE MODERATE FREEZING SPRAY SUNDAY THROUGH AT LEAST MONDAY
NIGHT. MAY SEE HEAVY FREEZING SPRAY LATE SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY
WITH STRONG WINDS AND COLDER TEMPERATURES. ADDED A HEAVY FREEZING
SPRAY WATCH FOR THIS PERIOD.

BRISK AND GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS AND HIGH WAVES WILL THEN LINGER
MONDAY INTO TUESDAY...BEFORE WEAKENING.
