AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
129 PM CDT MON MAR 21 2011

.SHORT TERM...

TONIGHT- CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM
SURFACE RIDGE AXIS SHIFTS TO THE EAST OF WI. SURFACE BOUNDARY
REMAINS SUPPRESSED TO OUR SOUTH WITH INCREASING EASTERLY FLOW HERE.
HOWEVER STRONG 850 MILLIBAR THETA-E ADVECTION SETS UP AFTER MIDNIGHT
ACROSS SC WI. LOW LEVEL JET AIMS INTO THE AREA WITH IMPRESSIVE
ISENTROPIC FORCING PER ADIABATIC OMEGA PROGS. THIS FOCUSES INTO
AREAS ESPECIALLY AROUND AND SOUTHWEST OF MADISON WITH LESS FORCING
FURTHER NORTHEAST. THE ECMWF AND NAM SHOW AN ELONGATED ZONE OF
PRECIP ALL THE WAY ESE TOWARDS MILWAUKEE...WITH THE GFS SHOWING
PRECIP CLOSER TO THE FOCUSED FORCING. PREFER THE FORMER WITH GFS
SHOWING TOO MUCH BULLSYEING OF THE FRONTOGENESIS. NAM SEEMS MORE
REALISTIC WITH THE ELONGATED LOOK. THIS FRONTOGENESIS IS STRONG AND
FOCUSED ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CWA AFTER MIDNIGHT. INGREDIENTS PLOTS
SHOWS OVERLAY OF Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE AND PVU RESULTING IN SOME
INSTABILITY WITHIN THIS ZONE. SO THUNDER MENTION LOOKS GOOD. THE
NORTHEAST CWA WILL BE THE LAST TO SEE PRECIP AND THAT AREA IS IN A
MORE THERMALLY VULNERABLE ZONE WHERE A MIX OF PRECIP TYPES WILL BE
POSSIBLE.

TUESDAY- CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM
SUSTAINED ISENTROPIC FORCING PER 290-300K CHARTS. IMPRESSIVE
MOISTURE WITH MIXING RATIOS 6-8 G/KG INTO SOUTHERN WI. UPPER JET
STARTS TO TAKE AIM FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND THERE IS SOME
SUGGESTION OF JET COUPLING WITH THE RIGHT REAR QUADRANT OF A
NORTHERN GREAT LAKES JET MAX. WITH SURFACE WARM FRONT SOUTH OF THE
STATE THE CONCERN WILL BE ELEVATED CONVECTION. MODELS SUGGEST
INITIAL FRONTOGENETICAL BAND WILL BE PROGRESSIVE AS IT LIFTS
NORTHEAST WITH PERHAPS A LULL...THEN RENEWED AFTERNOON DEVELOPMENT
INTO SC WI. AT THIS POINT WILL NOT GET TOO PRECISE AS SOME MODELS
SKETCHY ON THE DETAILS OF ANY SORT OF BREAK...AND THE SUSTAINED
ISENTROPIC LIFT IS WORRISOME. WILL GO WITH A CONTINUATION OF THE
ESF. RAINFALL POTENTIAL OF 1-2 INCHES. PLENTY OF CONCERNS WITH RIVER
FLOODING.

.TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY

12Z NAM/00Z ECMWF PUSHES THE SHORTWAVE INTO WISCONSIN. THE 12Z NAM
MOVES THE SURFACE ACROSS SOUTHERN IOWA TUESDAY NIGHT BUT ACROSS
NORTHERN IOWA ON THE GFS/ECMWF. THE SURFACE LOW REACHES NORTHERN
ILLINOIS LATE TUESDAY NIGHT ALONG THE SURFACE WARM FRONT...BUT AN
ELONGATED TROUGH EXTENDS NORTH ACROSS SOUTHERN WISCONSIN CLOSER TO
THE 850/700 MB LOW THAT EVENTUALLY BECOMES MORE OF A TROUGH THAT
CROSSES CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN WISCONSIN.

WITH THE WARM FRONT STAYING SOUTH MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOW A VERY COOL
MOIST LAYER TRAPPED BELOW A STRONG INVERSION EXTENDING UP TO NEAR
850 MB.

ALL MODELS KEEPING 540 THICKNESS VALUES NORTH OF THE FORECAST
AREA TUESDAY NIGHT. ONLY THE FAR NORTH...MAINLY TOWARDS
A MARQUETTE COUNTY TO FOND DU LAC/SHEBOYGAN AREAS DOES NAM
SOUNDINGS HAVE A SLEET POTENTIAL MAINLY LATE. TEMPERATURES/COOL
AND THICKNESS VALUES LOWER WITH A MIX/CHANGEOVER OCCURRING OVER
FAR NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY MORNING OFF
12Z NAM. BY THIS TIME THE MODERATE/HEAVIER PRECIPITATION IS TO
THE NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. HOWEVER GFS IS WARMER ALOFT WITH
NO SNOW/SLEET POTENTIAL. FORECAST SOUNDINGS DO COOL AT THE
SURFACE...BUT REMAIN AT OR JUST ABOVE FREEZING. DON'T ANTICIPATE
MUCH FREEZING RAIN POTENTIAL SINCE SURFACE TEMPERATURES START OUT
ABOVE FREEZING. ONLY POTENTIAL AT THIS MOMENT APPEARS FAR
NORTHEAST. FOND DU LAC AND SHEBOYGAN MIN TEMPS OFF GFS MOS GO
BELOW FREEZING...BUT 3 HOURLY TEMPS REMAIN AT OR ABOVE 34 AT FOND
DU LAC AND ONLY GET TO 32 AT 7 AM AT SHEBOYGAN.

AROUND 0.50 INCH OF QPF OVER MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA TUESDAY
NIGHT WITH AROUND AN INCH FAR SOUTHEAST OFF THE NAM...BUT THE GFS
RANGES FROM NEAR 1 INCH IN THE NORTHEAST THIRD TO AROUND 0.50 INCH
IN THE FAR SOUTH.

OVER THE SOUTH ELEVATED CAPE UP TO 165 J/KG IF LIFTED FROM 850
MB TUESDAY NIGHT. TEMPS NEAR 10 C AT THIS LAYER WITH MID LEVEL
LAPSE RATES NEAR 7C/KM SOME THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE WITH SMALL
HAIL.

TOTAL QPF AMOUNTS AROUND 1 TO 2.5 INCHES FROM THIS EVENT WOULD
ADD TO RIVER RISES FROM THE RECENT SNOW MELT. HEAVIEST AMOUNTS
ARE EXPECTED NORTH ACROSS MARQUETTE TO SHEBOYGAN COUNTY WITH JUST
UNDER AN INCH FAR SOUTH. THIS RAINFALL WILL BE SPREAD OUT WITH ONE
EVENT LATE TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING FROM SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST WITH MAINLY MODERATE RAIN TOTALS. THEN A SECOND EVENT
MAINLY SOUTHWEST TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND SPREADING NORTHEAST TUESDAY
NIGHT. SIX HOUR FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES RANGE FROM 1.5 INCNES
IN MILWAUKEE TO 3.2 INCHES IN FOND DU LAC COUNTY...WITH THE NON
URBAN AREAS MAINLY AROUND 2 TO 2.5 INCHES. THEREFORE WILL NOT
ISSUE FLOOD WATCH SINCE THE EXPECTED QPF AMOUNTS WILL BE SPREAD
OVER TOO LONG OF A PERIOD.

BY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON SOUNDINGS COOL ENOUGH FOR SNOW OVER THE
NORTH HALF...BUT BY THEN ONLY LIGHT PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED.
THICKNESS VALUES INDICATE SNOW SOUTH...BUT FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW
ENOUGH OF A WARM LAYER AROUND 800 MB FOR MAINLY LIQUID OR A
MIX...THEN BY THE TIME THIS LAYER COOLS...SATURATION ONLY OCCURS
BELOW 825 MB.

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

UPPER TROUGH REMAINS OVER SOUTHEAST CANADA AND EXTENDS SOMEWHAT INTO
NORTHERN WISCONSIN THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. WEAK UPPER RIDGE BUILDS
OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS FRIDAY.

WITH THE PROXIMITY OF THE COLD UPPER TROUGH AND CYCLONIC FLOW
SOME STRATOCUMULUS WOULD LINGER.

MEANWHILE...A LARGE SURFACE RIDGE SHOULD EXTEND FROM CENTRAL
CANADA INTO THE MINNESOTA AREA THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT THAT
WEAKENS SOMEWHAT ON FRIDAY.

MODELS TRY TO BRING A STRAY WEAK SHORTWAVE ACROSS
WISCONSIN/NORTHERN ILLINOIS THAT GETS SHEARED OFF IN THE CONFLUENT
FLOW. MAIN SURFACE BOUNDARY IS WELL SOUTH NEAR TENNESSEE...SO
MODELS NOW KEEPING VERY LIGHT QPF JUST TO THE SOUTH.

TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE COOL DURING THIS PERIOD.

.LONG TERM...

.SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM

THE NEXT IN THE SERIES OF SHORTWAVES OVER THE WESTERN U.S. MOVES
INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS BY SATURDAY THEN ACROSS ILLINOIS SATURDAY
NIGHT AND QUICKLY TO THE NORTHEAST U.S. ON SUNDAY.  THE 12Z GFS IS
STILL STRONGER WITH THIS SHORTWAVE.

THE LARGE SURFACE HIGH CONTINUES OVER SOUTHERN CANADA WITH THE GFS
DEVELOPING A SURFACE LOW THAT MOVES ACROSS MISSOURI SATURDAY THEN
ACROSS THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY SATURDAY NIGHT.

THE 00Z ECMWF AND 06Z DGEX IS MUCH WEAKER WITH THIS AND TAKES THE
LOW ACROSS TENNESSEE. FOR NOW WILL GO WITH THE CONSENSUS GRIDS.
EVEN THE STRONGER AND MORE NORTHERN GFS KEEPS THE BULK OF THE
PRECIPITATION JUST TO OUR SOUTH. THICKNESS VALUES WOULD SUPPORT
SNOW IF THIS TRACKS A LITTLE FARTHER NORTH.

.MONDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM

12Z GFS AND 00Z ECMWF BOTH HAVE MAIN MID/UPPER TROUGH WILL BE OVER
SOUTHEAST CANADA WITH A LARGE COOL SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM
EXTENDING ACROSS WISCONSIN.

&&

.AVIATION...MVFR CEILINGS SLOW TO ERODE SO HAVE OPTED TO KEEP THE
CEILINGS IN FORECAST. MID CLOUDS CRUISING OVERHEAD MASKING THE
STRATUS TRENDS...THOUGH OBSERVATIONS SHOWING THE LOWER CLOUDS
HANGING TOUGH. AS 850 MILLIBAR FORCING INCREASES AFTER MIDNIGHT WILL
BRING THE RAIN IN...WITH GREATEST COVERAGE EXPECTED TO BE NEAR KMSN
AND THEN BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD ELSEWHERE ON TUESDAY. ELEVATED
THUNDER POTENTIAL CERTAINLY ON THE TABLE.

&&

.MARINE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TUESDAY
THROUGH THURSDAY AS A SLOW MOVING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH
THE GREAT LAKES REGION. BRISK EAST WINDS TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY WILL
BACK TO NORTHEAST THEN NORTH WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY AS THE
LOW PASSES BY.

.HYDROLOGY...

TOTAL QPF AMOUNTS AROUND 1 TO 2.5 INCHES FROM THIS EVENT WOULD
ADD TO RIVER RISES FROM THE RECENT SNOW MELT. HEAVIEST AMOUNTS
ARE EXPECTED NORTH ACROSS MARQUETTE TO SHEBOYGAN COUNTY WITH JUST
UNDER AN INCH FAR SOUTH. THIS RAINFALL WILL BE SPREAD OUT WITH ONE
EVENT LATE TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING FROM SOUTHWEST TO
NORTHEAST WITH MAINLY MODERATE RAIN TOTALS. THEN A SECOND EVENT
MAINLY SOUTHWEST TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND SPREADING NORTHEAST TUESDAY
NIGHT. SIX HOUR FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES RANGE FROM 1.5 INCNES
IN MILWAUKEE TO 3.2 INCHES IN FOND DU LAC COUNTY...WITH THE NON
URBAN AREAS MAINLY AROUND 2 TO 2.5 INCHES. THEREFORE WILL NOT
ISSUE FLOOD WATCH SINCE THE EXPECTED QPF AMOUNTS WILL BE SPREAD
OVER TOO LONG OF A PERIOD. MOST LIKELLY OUTCOME WILL BE
URBAN/SMALL STREAM FLOOD ISSUES...THEN LONGER TERM MAOJOR RIVER
