AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
330 AM CST TUE MAR 8 2011

.TODAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM

WHILE MAIN STORM SYSTEM CONTINUES TO ENERGIZE TO OUR
SOUTHWEST...SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN UP ACROSS THE
AREA WITH INCREASING EASTERLY WINDS. RH PROGS AND BUFKIT SOUNDINGS
SHOW THIS EASTERLY FEED WILL BE TAPPING DRY AIR AND IT NOSES INTO
THE CWA FROM THE EAST. MODELS CONTINUE TO SLOW DOWN THE ONSET OF
PRECIPITATION SO HAVE LIMITED THE SLIGHT CHANCES TO THE VERY FAR
SOUTHWEST FROM MID AFTERNOON ON. THE 850 MILLIBAR PATTERN SHOWS
CONTINUED WARM AIR ADVECTION WITH NAM AND ECMWF SHOWING 0C PLUS
INTO THE SOUTHERN CWA BY 00Z WEDNESDAY. COOLING EFFECTS OF THE
LAKE WITH THE EAST WINDS AND SOME CLOUD COVER LIKELY TO KEEP TEMPS
IN CHECK A BIT.

.TONIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...LOW

STRONG NEGATIVE TILTED SHORTWAVE APPROACHES AND ARRIVES TO
EASTERN IOWA/NW IL BY 12Z WEDNESDAY. IMPRESSIVE UPPER DIVERGENCE
EVOLVES WITH ECMWF PEAKING THIS AT 6Z AND THE NAM CLOSER TO 12Z
WEDNESDAY. FAIRLY BROAD 850 LOW MOVES INTO SE IA WITH 850 JET AXIS
SHIFTING TO OUR EAST AND LARGELY SOUTH. THE NAM AND GFS WRAP SOME
OF THE JET AXIS INTO THE CWA WHILE THE ECMWF KEEPS THE STRONGEST
CORE OF THE JET WELL TO OUR SOUTHEAST. CONCERNED THAT CONVECTION
TO OUR SOUTHEAST COULD END UP LIMITING THE MOISTURE FEED WRAPPING
INTO SOUTHERN WI. QPF AMOUNTS HAVE LOWERED ON THE 00Z ECMWF. LIGHT
QPF PROGGED INTO THE SOUTHWEST CWA THROUGH MIDNIGHT THEN MAIN SURGE
ARRIVES THEREAFTER. CANADIAN/ECMWF ARE SHOWING COLDER 1000-500
MILLIBAR THICKNESSES ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL AND NW
CWA...WHILE THE NAM AND GFS SHOWING A MORE AGGRESSIVE PUSH OF
WARMER AIR WRAPPING ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE CWA. WILL KEEP THE
MIXY IDEA GOING IN THE NORTH AND CENTRAL WITH THE FAR NORTH SEEING
MOSTLY ALL SNOW. BELIEVE BOUNDARY LAYER WILL BE WARM ENOUGH IN THE
SOUTH TO KEEP PRECIP RAIN...QPF AMOUNTS SHOWING HEAVIEST FOCUSED
NEAR THE WISCONSIN/ILLINOIS BORDER...0.25 TO 0.50 INCH...GOING
WITH A BLEND OF HPC AND ECMWF QPF TRENDS.

.WEDNESDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM TO HIGH

HIGH CONFIDENCE IN PRECIP ON WEDNESDAY...BUT QUESTION STILL REMAINS
WHERE EXACTLY THE TRANSITION FROM RAIN TO SNOW WILL BE DURING THE
DAY. OVERALL...HAVE SEEN ANOTHER SLIGHT BUMP SOUTHWARD IN THE TRACK
OF THE SFC LOW AMONG MOST MODEL SOLUTIONS. THE 00Z GFS HAS THE
FARTHEST NORTH TRACK OF THE LOW...MOVING IT NORTHEAST ACROSS FAR SE
WI. INTERESTINGLY THOUGH...ALMOST ALL GFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS ARE
FARTHER SOUTH...SIMILAR THE ECMWF...CANADIAN...AND NOW 06Z NAM.
MOVED RAIN/SNOW LINE A BIT SOUTHEAST FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST...AND
FARTHER SHIFT SOUTHEAST MAY BE NEEDED IF THIS TREND HOLDS.

SOUNDINGS FROM 00Z MODELS SHOW BEST CHANCE FOR MODERATE SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS STILL ALONG AND NORTH OF A LONE ROCK TO FOND DU LAC
LINE. FARTHER SOUTHEAST...MAY SEE A MIX OF SNOW FOR A TIME IN THE
MORNING BEFORE STRONG WAA TRANSITIONS PRECIP TO RAIN. STILL
EXPECTING ALL RAIN DURING THE DAY GENERALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF A
LINE FROM JANESVILLE TO MILWAUKEE. AGAIN...MAY NEED TO BUMP SNOW
CHANCES FARTHER SOUTHEAST IF SOUTHWARD TREND PERSISTS.

HOLDING ON TO WINTER STORM WATCH FOR MARQUETTE AND GREEN LAKE
COUNTIES FOR NOW. MODEL QPF NOT THAT IMPRESSIVE...SUGGESTING LOW END
WARNING OR HIGH END ADVISORY. OVERALL OMEGA GREATER WITH THE
GFS...BUT DID NOT WANT TO GO WITH THESE HIGHER VALUES SINCE THE GFS
IS SUGGESTING A LOW A GOOD DEAL STRONGER THAN OTHER MODELS. LEANED
TOWARD NAM SOLUTION...A DECENT COMPROMISE BETWEEN GFS/ECMWF LOW
TRACKS AND QPF.

PRECIP WILL TRANSITION OVER TO ALL SNOW WEST TO EAST WEDNESDAY
EVENING...BUT THE BULK OF MOISTURE/LIFT WILL HAVE MOVED ON BY THEN.
THUS NOT EXPECTING MUCH MORE THAN A DUSTING TO HALF AN INCH
ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA AS THE RAIN CHANGES
TO SNOW.

.THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM

LINGERED SLIGHT CHANCE FOR LIGHT SNOW IN THE EAST THURSDAY MORNING
AS UPPER TROUGH EXITS. OTHERWISE...HIGH PRESSURE APPROACHING FROM
THE WEST SHOULD BRING SOME SUNSHINE BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. COLDER
AIR BEHIND THE EXITING SYSTEM SHOULD KEEP HIGH TEMPS A FEW DEGREES
BELOW NORMAL.

AXIS OF SFC HIGH WILL BE OVERHEAD FRIDAY MORNING...SHIFT EAST TO
MICHIGAN IN THE AFTERNOON. THIS SHOULD ALLOW A GOOD DEAL OF SUN FOR
MUCH OF THE DAY. SOUTHERLY WINDS ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE HIGH SHOULD
ALLOW TEMPS TO RISE BACK TO NEAR OR JUST ABOVE NORMAL.

FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...LOW TO MEDIUM

GFS AND ECMWF IN A BIT BETTER AGREEMENT WITH CLIPPER SYSTEM FOR
FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY...BRINGING THE NEARLY STACKED SYSTEM RIGHT
THROUGH SRN WI. THE CANADIAN PUSHES THE LOW SOUTH OF THE STATE. NOT
A GOOD DEAL OF LONG TERM CONSISTENCY YET...SO JUST WENT WITH CHANCE
POPS. THICKNESS VALUES SEEM COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW...BUT GFS SOUNDINGS
SHOW A GOOD AMOUNT OF MILD AIR IN THE LOW LEVELS...SO WENT WITH
RAIN/SNOW FOR NOW.

SUNDAY AND MONDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...LOW TO MEDIUM

MODELS SUGGESTING HIGH PRESSURE IN THE REGION FOR SUNDAY...SO KEPT
DRY FORECAST GOING. WENT WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR MONDAY...AS GFS
AND ECMWF SHOW LOW PRESSURE TO THE SOUTH. CURRENTLY ONLY THE GFS FAR
ENOUGH NORTH WITH THE LOW FOR SNOW CHANCES INTO SRN WI.

&&

.AVIATION...MVFR DECK AFFECTING MOST OF THE CWA AND THIS WILL BATTLE
THE INCREASING DRY AIR FEED FROM THE EAST AS THE DAY WEARS ON. MAIN
PRECIP SURGE TONIGHT AFTER MIDNIGHT AND INTO WEDNESDAY. CEILINGS TO
DROP TO LIFR LEVELS WITH VSBYS DROPPING TO PERHAPS A MILE OR LESS AS
LOW CENTER MOVES CLOSE TO SOUTHEAST WI ON WEDNESDAY. AN INITIAL MIX
AT THE OUTSET TONIGHT BUT RAIN LOOKS TO BE THE PREDOMINANT PRECIP
TYPE FOR THE TAF SITES. WITH COLDER AIR WRAPPING IN ON
WEDNESDAY...SOME OF THE RAIN MAY MIX WITH OR CHANGE TO SNOW IN KMSN
AREA...BUT ACCUMS EXPECTED TO BE ON THE LIGHT SIDE.

&&

.MARINE...ISSUED A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FROM 6 PM THIS EVENING
THROUGH 3 PM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. LOW PRESSURE APPROACHING FROM THE
SOUTHWEST WILL LEAD TO AN INCREASINGLY TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT
THAT WILL RESULT IN EAST WINDS RAMPING UP LATER TODAY AND CONTINUING

KICKS IN WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY.
