AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
329 PM CST TUE DEC 25 2012

.TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM.

MAIN ISSUE THIS PERIOD WILL BE LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS NEAR LAKE
MICHIGAN. CURRENT LAKE EFFECT BAND EXTENDS FROM NORTH CENTRAL LAKE
MICHIGAN OPEN WATERS...SOUTH SOUTHWEST TO CHICAGO/OHARE AIRPORT.
THIS BAND HAS BEEN SHOWING A VERY SLOW PROGRESSION TO THE WEST.
LOCAL WRF 4KM MODEL SEEMS TO HAVE A DECENT HANDLE ON THINGS AT THIS
TIME...AND BRINGS THE BAND INTO THE LAKESHORE COUNTIES BETWEEN 03Z
AND 06Z WEDNESDAY. OTHER SYNOPTIC/MESOSCALE MODELS EITHER NOT
HANDLING CURRENT TRENDS WITH THE BAND WELL...OR NOT SHOWING IT AT
ALL. AS SUCH...CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM WITH AREAL COVERAGE AND SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS.

FAVORABLE NORTHEAST FETCH AND DELTA T VALUES OF 14 TO 16 DEGREES
CELSIUS ARE THINGS WORKING FOR THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW TONIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY...BUT ALSO HAVING TROUBLE GETTING SATURATION IN THE -10
DEGREE CELSIUS AND COLDER LAYER. SHEBOYGAN FORECAST SOUNDINGS WERE
SHOWING THE BEST MOISTENING IN THE DENDRITE ZONE LATER TONIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY...AS NORTHERN END OF BAND TRIES TO SHIFT ONSHORE. WENT
WITH THE HIGHEST POPS THERE AS A RESULT...WITH LOWER POPS TO THE
SOUTH NEAR LAKE MICHIGAN. WENT WITH SNOW ACCUMULATIONS UNDER AN INCH
THROUGH WEDNESDAY IN THESE AREAS. MANY AREAS MAY SEE LONG PERIODS
WITHOUT ANY SNOW...DEPENDING ON HOW BAND SETS UP.

THE REST OF THE AREA WILL SEE CLOUDS GRADUALLY INCREASE TONIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY...AS STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM PASSES WELL SOUTHEAST OF
THE AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL BE A BIT WARMER THAN LAST NIGHT WITH
MORE CLOUDS...WITH NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES WEDNESDAY.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT - CONFIDENCE...LOW TO MEDIUM
CONCERN IS HANDLING OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW CHANCES. NAM IS COLDEST AT
850 AND FOCUSES PRECIP AROUND SHEBOYGAN AND OZAUKEE COUNTIES. WILL
MAINTAIN HIGHLIGHT OF THESE AREAS WITH THE HIGHEST POPS AND SOME
LIGHT ACCUMULATION. HOWEVER GFS AND ECMWF SHOW A WARMER SOLUTION
THIS TIME FRAME WITH NO QPF. WILL GO WITH CHANCE POPS THERE...WITH
LOWER CHANCES FURTHER SOUTH WHERE INSTABILITY NOT AS FAVORABLE.
TRAJECTORIES LOOK DECENT.

THURSDAY - CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM
QUIET DAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE CONTINUING TO RIDGE INTO THE AREA.
UPPER FLOW ANTICYCLONIC AHEAD OF APPROACHING SHORTWAVE. 1000-850
WIND FLOW REMAINS NNE WITH POCKETS OF WEAK CONVERGENCE NOTED. NAM
850 TEMPS ARE COLDEST AND THUS MOST FAVORABLE FOR LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS. GFS/ECMWF MORE SUPPORTIVE OF CLOUDS/FLURRIES. WILL GO WITH
THE ALLBLEND POPS THAT FAVOR THE LATTER. ALSO...MOISTURE NOT
REACHING UP TO -10C SO NOT A GOOD SIGN IN THE DENDRITE DEPARTMENT.

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT - CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM
MODELS IN AGREEMENT ON BRING SHORTWAVE TROUGH ACROSS THE BADGERLAND
WITH DECENT SHOT AT SOME LIGHT SNOW. NOT A BIG SYSTEM. SURFACE LOW
IS WEAK...MORE OF AN INVERTED TROUGH LOOK. 10-15 UNITS OF 700-300
MILLIBAR Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE...MODERATE...FOR THE EVENT. INITIAL
FORCING THURSDAY NIGHT VIA LEAD WAVE VORT MAX IMPINGING UPON THE
CWA. WAA IS THERE BUT SIGNAL IS WEAK. BETTER FORCING FROM THE
SHORTWAVE AFFECTS THE AREA ON FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY EVENING. 200-300
MILLIBAR JET CORE IS WELL TO OUR SOUTHEAST SO ONLY SOME SUBTLE ALONG
STREAM SHEAR NOTED FROM THE PROGS. NOT THE BEST JET POSITIONING OR
FORCING FROM THIS PERSPECTIVE. NOT SEEING A GREAT ISENTROPIC/WAA
SIGNAL FOR THE EVENT. GIVEN QPF...LOOKING MOSTLY LIKELY AT AN INCH
OR TWO.

SATURDAY - CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM
850 MILLIBAR TROUGH EXITS EAST EARLY. CYCLONIC FLOW LINGERS SO HARD
TO ARGUE WITH THE ALLBLEND SLIGHT POPS.

SUNDAY AND BEYOND - CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM
LOOKS QUIET WITH FAIRLY BENIGN NW UPPER FLOW. WEAK SYSTEM MONDAY
THOUGH MOISTURE LOOKS SCANT WITH WAVE STRENGTH NOT LOOKING TOO
DAUNTING ESPECIALLY ON THE ECMWF. BETTER MOISTURE/FORCING LOOKS
NORTH.

.AVIATION/00Z TAFS/....AVIATION/00Z TAFS/...

FOR MADISON...EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. MID LEVEL
CLOUDS WILL GRADUALLY SPREAD INTO THE AREA INTO THIS EVENING...WITH
LOWER BUT STILL VFR CLOUDS AFTER 03Z WEDNESDAY AND THROUGH THE DAY
ON WEDNESDAY. NORTHEAST WINDS WILL INCREASE ON WEDNESDAY...AS STRONG
LOW PRESSURE TRACKS WELL SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA. GUSTS UP TO 25 KNOTS
ARE POSSIBLE IN THE AFTERNOON.

FOR THE EASTERN TAF SITES...EXPECT VFR CEILINGS INTO MID EVENING.
MVFR CEILINGS SHOULD DEVELOP AFTER 03Z WEDNESDAY...LASTING THROUGH
THE DAY WEDNESDAY. WAUKESHA MAY SEE MORE VFR CEILINGS THAN MVFR
DURING THIS TIME. NORTHEAST WINDS WILL ALSO PICK UP ON WEDNESDAY
WITH THE PASSING LOW WELL TO THE SOUTHEAST. GUSTS UP TO 25 KNOTS ARE
POSSIBLE IN THE AFTERNOON.

MAIN ISSUE WILL BE LAKE EFFECT SNOW CHANCES AT MILWAUKEE AND
KENOSHA. CURRENT BAND AFFECTING CHICAGO/OHARE EXTENDS NORTH ACROSS
THE MIDDLE OF THE LAKE...TO THE NORTH CENTRAL OPEN WATERS OF THE
LAKE.

THIS BAND SHOULD SLOWLY SHIFT WESTWARD TOWARD KENOSHA AND MILWAUKEE
THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. BROUGHT PREVAILING LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS
WITH VFR VISIBILITIES TO THESE SITES BETWEEN 03Z AND 06Z
WEDNESDAY...THEN KEPT THEM THROUGH THE DAY WEDNESDAY. THERE IS SOME
UNCERTAINTY WITH THIS BAND OF SNOW SHOWERS...AS  MOISTURE IN THE LOW
LEVELS IS QUESTIONABLE AT TIMES.

THUS...ANY LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS SHOULD BE ON AND OFF DURING THIS
TIME...AND IF THE BAND SLOWS DOWN OR MOVES QUICKER THAN
EXPECTED...THERE MAY BE A LARGE PART OF THE NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY THAT
DOES NOT SEE ANY SNOW SHOWERS. GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY...NOT EXPECTING
MORE THAN A FEW TENTHS OF AN INCH OF ACCUMULATION DURING THIS TIME.
WILL HAVE TO WATCH BAND AS IT UNFOLDS...AND UPDATE TAFS ACCORDINGLY.

SOUTH OF NORTH POINT LIGHTHOUSE...AND AT 09Z NORTH OF THERE. PRESSURE

IN BRISK NORTHEAST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 KNOTS DURING THIS TIME...WHICH
SHOULD GENERATE HIGH WAVES OF UP TO 5 TO 10 FEET NEAR THE SHORE.

THE AREA. THE HIGH WAVES SHOULD LAST INTO THURSDAY EVENING BEFORE
SUBSIDING.
