LATE IN THE NIGHT SHOULD PRECLUDE MORE WIDESPREAD FOG ELSEWHERE.

STRONG COLD FRONT THEN PUSHES SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE AREA
THURSDAY...REACHING MADISON FROM 11 AM TO NOON CDT...AND MILWAUKEE
FROM 2 PM TO 3 PM CDT. THE FRONT WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY A STRONG

DURING THE AFTERNOON...ESPECIALLY IN THE EASTERN COUNTIES...SO ADDED
SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDER THERE. SHOWER CHANCES LINGER THURSDAY NIGHT
WITH SECONDARY VORTICITY MAXIMUM MOVING THROUGH THE REGION.

MAIN ISSUE WILL BE THE STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS WITH THE STRONG COLD
AIR ADVECTION BEHIND THE FRONT THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT INTO
EARLY FRIDAY. TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT ENSUES ACROSS THE AREA AFTER
THE FRONTAL PASSAGE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT WITH CYCLOGENESIS
OF PARENT SURFACE LOW IN LOWER MICHIGAN. AREA FORECAST SOUNDINGS
SHOWING STRONG POTENTIAL FOR FREQUENT MIXING OF 40 TO 45 KNOT WINDS
AT 1000 TO 2000 FEET ABOVE GROUND LEVEL TO THE SURFACE. COLD AIR
ADVECTION WILL HELP WITH DOWNWARD MOMENTUM MIXING OF THESE WINDS.
GFS A BIT MORE AGGRESSIVE THAN NAM WITH THESE LOW LEVEL WINDS.
SUSTAINED WINDS OF 20 TO 30 KNOTS SEEM REASONABLE DURING THIS TIME.
THUS...ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FROM 17Z THURSDAY TO 12Z FRIDAY FOR
THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA...AND FROM 20Z THURSDAY UNTIL 15Z
FRIDAY FOR THE EASTERN HALF.

.LONG TERM...

FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM.

THE SURFACE LOW OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES WILL QUICKLY WEAKEN AND
PUSH EAST AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE MIDWEST. THERE COULD BE A

TEMPS DOWN TO AROUND 2-4C. MAX TEMPS FRI WILL LIKELY TOP OUT IN THE
UPPER 50S. WINDS WILL DIE OFF AS A STRONG NOCTURNAL INVERSION SETS
UP FRI NIGHT WITH HIGH PRESSURE AND CLEAR SKIES MOVING INTO THE

RETURN SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL ENSUE ON MON AND TUE...BRINGING TEMPS
INTO THE UPPER 60S/LOWER 70S. WEAK SHORTWAVES RIDING ACROSS THE
RIDGE INTO MN AND WI DURING THIS PERIOD. IT LOOKS LIKE IT MAY BE TOO
DRY AND TOO FAR NORTH FOR THEM TO CAUSE ANY PRECIP OVER SOUTHERN
WI...ALTHOUGH VERY SLIGHT CHANCES EXIST FOR PARTS OF THE FORECAST
AREA LATE MON NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY.

MODELS ARE NOW COMING INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE HIGH PRESSURE
RIDGE STAYING PUT OVER THE EASTERN CONUS THROUGH AT LEAST MID WEEK
NEXT WEEK...AND POSSIBLY INTO THE WEEKEND.
