AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
330 PM CDT TUE AUG 2 2011

.SHORT TERM...

TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM.

SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL CROSS SOUTHERN WISCONSIN EARLY THIS
EVENING AND DRAG A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA. MESO MODELS ARE
HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME HANDLING THIS SYSTEM...BUT GENERALLY AGREE
ON STORMS DEVELOPING OVER THE COUNTY WARNING AREA /CWA/ WITH THE
FRONT. THE DISAGREEMENT IS ABOUT WHERE...SOME SAY THE WESTERN CWA
AND OTHERS SAY THE FAR SOUTHEAST.

SPC MESOANALYSIS SHOWS 1000-2500 J/KG OF MIXED LAYER CAPE OVER MUCH
OF THE SOUTHERN CWA. HOWEVER CIN IS AROUND 150...WITH A STRONG CAP.
SFC HEATING IS WELL UNDERWAY OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE
CWA...WITH HEAT INDEX VALUES REACHING 100-105F AT MOST OBS SITES AT
SOME POINT THIS MORNING. MKE AND RAC HAVE BOUNCED BACK INTO THE
UPPER 80S FOR TEMPS WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 70S...DESPITE THE LAKE
BREEZE THAT IS PUSHING INLAND TO WAUKESHA AND KENOSHA.

THERE ARE SEVERAL BOUNDARIES IN THE CWA THAT MAY SERVE AS A FOCUS TO
FIRE CONVECTION ABOVE THE CAP AS THE FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH...OR TO
HELP ANY CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT BECOME ENHANCED. THERE IS AN EAST-WEST
ORIENTED OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM THIS MORNING/S CONVECTION UP NORTH
THAT IS NOW ROUGHLY FROM COLUMBIA TO DODGE TO NORTHEAST WAUKESHA
COUNTY THAT IS SLOWLY RETREATING NORTHWARD AND ALSO INTERSECTING THE
LAKE BREEZE BOUNDARY. THERE IS A REGION OF CUMULUS CONGESTUS FROM FLD TO
MSN TO MONROE /EFT/ APPARENT IN THE RADAR BASE REFLECTIVITY AND
VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY. THERE IS ALSO A WIND SHIFT TO THE WNW
BEHIND THIS LATTER BOUNDARY. THE REAL COLD FRONT ON THE BACK SIDE
OF THE SFC LOW IS FROM ROUGHLY LACROSSE TO WATERLOO TO SOUTH
CENTRAL IOWA.

CORE OF 850MB JET IS OVER SOUTH CENTRAL WI AT THIS TIME...AND SFC TO
1KM SHEAR IS 20 TO 30 KT AHEAD OF THE FRONT...ALONG WITH 150 TO 250
HELICITY. GIVEN THESE PARAMETERS...IF ISOLATED SUPERCELLS CAN
DEVELOP JUST AHEAD OF OR ALONG THE FRONT...A TORNADO IS POSSIBLE.
HAIL GREATER THAN 1 INCH IS ALSO POSSIBLE WITH ANY SUPERCELL THAT
DEVELOPS...AS WELL AS SEVERE WIND GUSTS. THEN IF ENOUGH STORMS CAN
DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT...THEY COULD CONGEAL INTO A SQUALL LINE AND
PRODUCE STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS.

MODELS AND UPSTREAM OBSERVATIONS SHOW THAT THE DEWPOINTS AND TEMPS
WILL NOT FALL VERY QUICKLY BEHIND THE FRONT...SO RAISED THE TEMPS
FOR MIN TEMPS TONIGHT. WINDS SHOULD GRADUALLY VEER FROM NORTHWEST TO
NORTH AND PROBABLY TO NNE DURING WED MORNING HOURS. THERE ARE SOME
HINTS OF LOW CLOUDS ROLLING DOWN THE LAKE WITH A BACKDOOR COLD FRONT
EARLY WED MORNING...SO HINTED TO THAT POSSIBILITY IN THE AVIATION
FORECAST. OTHERWISE...VERY DRY AIR WILL SETTLE INTO THE AREA WITH
HIGH PRESSURE BY WED AFTERNOON...SO VERY FEW CU ANTICIPATED. THERE
WILL BE A RELIEF FROM THE HEAT WITH HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID 80S AND
DEW POINTS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM TO HIGH

HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL WED NT AND THU AND THEN MOVE EWD WITH A
TRAILING WEST TO EAST HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE FOR THU NT AND FRI. A
SEASONAL AND PLEASANT AIRMASS WILL PREVAIL WITH HIGH TEMPS IN THE
LOWER 80S AND LOW TEMPS/DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER 60S. WEAK SHORTWAVE
TROUGHS IN THE ZONAL FLOW WILL BRING THUNDERSTORM CHANCES MAINLY
TO THE SOUTH OF WI FOR THU NT THROUGH FRI BUT WAS SUFFICIENTLY
CLOSE TO FORECAST SLIGHT CHANCE IN THE FAR SRN CWA.

.LONG TERM...

SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM

THE MODELS AND SYNOPTIC PATTERN SUPPORT A CLIMATOLOGY FORECAST
THROUGH THE EXTENDED. ZONAL FLOW WITH EMBEDDED WEAK SHORTWAVE
TROUGHS WILL PERSIST WITH A VERY WEAK PRESSURE PATTERN. THUS LOW
POPS ARE FORECAST FOR TSTORMS WITH HIGH/LOW TEMPS NEAR CLIMO.

&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED UNTIL THUNDERSTORMS ARRIVE LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WITH AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. TEMPO
MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS WITH THE STORMS...THOUGH SOME LOWER IFR VSBYS
POSSIBLE IN HEAVIER SHOWERS. NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS EARLY WED
MORNING THROUGH MID MORNING COULD BRING SOME LOW IFR CLOUDS DOWN THE
LAKE AND BLEED ONSHORE INTO MKE AND ENW...POSSIBLY UES.
HOWEVER...CONFIDENCE IS LOW.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE INTO REGION WED AFTERNOON BRINGING DRY
WEATHER AND LIGHT WINDS THROUGH THU.

&&

.MARINE...CANCELLED SMALL CRAFT ADVY SINCE WINDS WERE NOT MIXING AS
DEEPLY AS PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED. THERE STILL COULD BE A FEW GUSTS TO
25 KNOTS UNTIL A COLD FRONT REACHES THE LAKESHORE EARLY THIS
EVENING...BUT NOT EXPECTING FREQUENT OCCURENCE. WINDS SHIFT TO THE
NORTH BEHIND THE FRONT LATER THIS EVENING...BUT ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN BELOW CRITERIA.
