AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
347 AM CST WED JAN 5 2011

FORECAST FOCUS ON LIGHT SNOW CHANCES THROUGH FRIDAY...AND COLDER
TREND IN TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

.VERY SHORT TERM...TODAY AND TONIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM.

FOCUS IS ON TIMING SNOW CHANCES AND AMOUNTS WITH SHORT WAVE OVER
SOUTHEAST SASKATCHEWAN. CURRENT RADAR RETURNS TIED TO WARM AIR
ADVECTION AND ISENTROPIC LIFT GENERATING THE LIGHT SNOW OVER FAR NRN
MINNESOTA...WITH RETURNS IN REGION OF CONDENSATION PRESSURE DEFICITS
OF 30MB OR LESS ON THE 290K SFC... AND A SECOND AREA OF SNOW OVER
NRN NORTH DAKOTA DRIVEN BY DIFFERENTIAL CYCLONIC VORTICITY
ADVECTION.

WILL TIME SNOW WITH STRONGER LAYER Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE THAT IS
CURRENTLY REFLECTING THESE TWO AREAS OF FORCING WELL. THE WAA DRIVEN
850-700MB Q-VECTOR MAX WILL MOVE INTO CENTRAL WI EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON AND WEAKEN WHILE STRONGER 500-300MB Q VECTOR MAX TRACKS
WITH VORT MAX AND BEST DIFF CVA...MOVING FROM SE MN INTO NRN IL THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING. UNFORTUNATELY...THE MAJORITY OF THE
SNOW OVER THE CWA WILL FALL DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON INTO EARLY
EVENING...JUST IN TIME OF THE EVENING COMMUTE.

ROEBBER FAVORS GREATER THAN 15:1 SNOW/LIQUID RATIOS SO MODEL
GUIDANCE RATIOS OF 15:1 TO 17:1 LOOK REASONABLE. WITH MEAGER MIXING
RATIOS OF 0.5 TO 1 G/KG AND MODEL QPF RANGING FROM 0.01 TO
0.03...TOTAL SNOW AMOUNTS WILL BE GENERALLY BETWEEN 0.5 AND 1
INCH...WITH THE HIGHER AMOUNTS TOWARD THE NORTH.

WITH COLDER START THIS MORNING...LEANED TOWARD COOLER SIDE OF
GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS...THOUGH SOUTHERLY WINDS SHOULD BRING LATE
AFTERNOON HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 20S. TEMPS HOLD UP UNTIL SURFACE
TROUGH/COLD FRONT PASSES THROUGH. STILL TIMING DIFFERENCES...BUT ALL
GUIDANCE PUSHES TROUGH EAST OF CWA BY 06Z...SO SINGLE DIGITS IN THE
FAR WEST AND TEENS EAST LOOK ON TRACK.

.SHORT TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE
MEDIUM.

UPPER LEVEL LOW MOVES SOUTHEAST ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR ON THURSDAY
PER THE 00Z NAM AND ECMWF...WITH THE 00Z GFS QUICKER AND INTO
LOWER MICHIGAN. THE NAM/ECMWF BRING AN ASSOCIATED STRONG VORTICITY
MAXIMUM INTO NORTHERN WISCONSIN THURSDAY AFTERNOON...THEN BRING IT
SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY EVENING. THE GFS BRINGS THIS
FEATURE THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THE NAM ALSO HAS A SHEARED
VORTICITY MAXIMUM SHIFTING SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE SOUTHWEST HALF OF
THE AREA THURSDAY...WITH THE GFS/ECMWF FURTHER SOUTHWEST.

UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION WITH THESE FEATURES ARE MODEST AT
BEST...AND NAM/GFS FORECAST SOUNDINGS FROM ACROSS THE AREA
INDICATED FAIRLY DRY LOW LEVELS...WITH SOME MID LEVEL
MOISTURE/CLOUDS. GFS/ECMWF HAVE NO QPF THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT
IN THE AREA...WITH LIGHT QPF WITH THE NAM THURSDAY EVENING.

PREFER THE SLIGHTLY SLOWER NAM/ECWMF VERSUS THE QUICKER GFS WITH
THESE FEATURES. LOWERED POPS TO SLIGHT CHANCE IN THE SOUTHWEST
COUNTIES THURSDAY AFTERNOON...WITH UNCERTAINTY IN TRACK OF SHEARED
VORTICITY MAXIMUM. SLIGHT CHANCE POPS REMAIN ACROSS MOST OF THE
AREA THURSDAY EVENING WITH STRONG VORTICITY MAXIMUM MOVING
THROUGH THE AREA...TAPERING TO FLURRIES AFTER MIDNIGHT.

RETROGRADING UPPER LOW FROM EAST CENTRAL CANADA GETS CAUGHT IN
CYCLONIC FLOW AND SHIFTS SOUTH INTO NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN BY 00Z
SATURDAY. THE ECMWF AND GFS ARE SIMILAR WITH ITS MOTION. ANOTHER
STRONG VORTICITY MAXIMUM SHIFTS INTO THE AREA BY EARLY FRIDAY
AFTERNOON. UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION IS AGAIN MODEST AT BEST WITH
FAIRLY DRY LOW LEVELS AND MORE MOISTURE ALOFT. WENT WITH SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS GRADUALLY ACROSS THE AREA ON FRIDAY.

1000/500MB THICKNESSES FALL INTO THE 510S DKM RANGE THURSDAY WITH
COLD AIR ADVECTION...AND LINGER THROUGH THE REST OF THIS PERIOD.
TEMPERATURES WILL GET COLDER...BUT CLOUDS LINGERING AT TIMES MAY
LIMIT THE COOL DOWN. WENT NEAR A BLEND OF MOS GUIDANCE FOR
TEMPERATURES DURING THIS TIME.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM.

GFS/ECMWF INDICATED THE DEEP UPPER LOW OVER LOWER MICHIGAN ON
SATURDAY GRADUALLY SHOULD SHIFT EAST BY SUNDAY. FAVORED ECMWF PER
HPC BLENDED FIELDS SHOWING A WEAK SHORTWAVE RIDGE MOVING INTO THE
REGION INTO MONDAY...THEN HAS AN UPPER LOW SHIFTING EAST ACROSS
THE CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI AND OHIO RIVER VALLEYS
THROUGH TUESDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE OVER SOUTH CENTRAL CANADA DURING THIS TIME SHOULD
KEEP THE AREA DRY FOR THE MOST PART. LEFT LOW POPS FOR EARLY NEXT
WEEK FOR NOW...DESPITE 00Z ECMWF SHOWING A DRIER LOOK VERSUS THE
12Z RUN FROM YESTERDAY. TEMPERATURES MAY RECOVER SLOWLY TO MORE
NORMAL VALUES...THOUGH 00Z ECMWF RUN NOW SHOWING A COLDER LOOK
WITH NORTH TO NORTHWEST WINDS.

&&

.AVIATION...

TIMING OF CLOUDS ON IR SATELLITE IMAGERY BRINGS VFR DECK INTO KMSN
AROUND 16Z...AND ACROSS THE REST OF THE TAF SITES BETWEEN 17Z AND
19Z. EXPECT MVFR DECKS AND VSBYS WITH LIGHT SNOW MAINLY LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WILL KEEP MVFR CIGS THROUGH FORECAST...THOUGH
KMSN MAY SEE SOME IMPROVEMENT BETWEEN 09Z AND 12Z THURSDAY.

&&

.MARINE...

WILL AGAIN BE CLOSE TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS BEHIND
SURFACE TROUGH LATER TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY. WILL HOLD OFF FOR NOW
WITH LIMITED FETCH EARLY ON WITH WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS. WILL
LIKELY NEED A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THURSDAY NIGHT AND BEYOND FOR
PERSISTENT 15 TO 25 KNOT WINDS AS GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO DEEPEN
SURFACE LOW TO THE EAST IN RESPONSE TO STRENGTHENING UPPER LOW THAT
SETTLES OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
