...GALE WARNING NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM CDT THIS EVENING...

THE GALE WARNING IS NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM CDT THIS EVENING. A
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM CDT THIS
MORNING. 

* WINDS: SOUTHEAST 20 TO 30 KNOTS WITH GUSTS OF 35 TO 40 KNOTS.
  WINDS SHIFTING TO THE SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
  EVENING.

* WAVES: 6 TO 10 FEET FALLING BELOW 4 FEET LATE TONIGHT.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A GALE WARNING MEANS WINDS OF 34 TO 47 KNOTS ARE IMMINENT OR
OCCURRING. OPERATING A VESSEL IN GALE CONDITIONS REQUIRES
EXPERIENCE AND PROPERLY EQUIPPED VESSELS. IT IS HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED THAT MARINERS WITHOUT THE PROPER EXPERIENCE SEEK SAFE
HARBOR PRIOR TO THE ONSET OF GALE CONDITIONS.

A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY MEANS THAT WIND SPEEDS OF 22 TO 33 KNOTS
AND/OR WAVES GREATER THAN 4 FEET ARE EXPECTED TO PRODUCE
HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS TO SMALL CRAFT. INEXPERIENCED MARINERS...
ESPECIALLY THOSE OPERATING SMALLER VESSELS SHOULD AVOID
NAVIGATING IN THESE CONDITIONS.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
328 AM CDT SUN MAR 25 2012

.TODAY AND TONIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM.

WL POST DENSE FOG ADVY FOR MOST OF MY WEST FOR EARLY THIS MORNING.
DRIER AIR IN THE MID LEVELS CAUSING CLEARING OF 4-5K FT CLOUDS
ACROSS WEST AND NORTH...AND APPEARS CLEARING TREND WL CONTINUE INTO
THE SOUTHEAST EARLY THIS MORNING.  DENSE FOG FORMING RELATIVELY
QUICKLY BEHIND THE CLEARING LINE...AND THINKING DENSE FOG MAY LAST
FOR SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE DRIER AIR AT LOW LEVELS SAGS INTO THE SOUTH
FROM CENTRAL WI.  MAY NEED TO EXPAND DENSE FOG ADVY EAST INTO PARTS
OF SOUTHEAST WI AS CLOUDS CLEAR EARLY THIS MRNG.  SHORT TERM
GUIDANCE NOT HANDLING UPSTREAM WIDESPREAD STRATUS IN BETTER COLD AIR
ADVECTION OVER FAR NORTHERN WI INTO NRN MN EARLY THIS MRNG.
POTENTIAL FOR SOME OF THESE CLOUDS TO MAKE IT INTO SRN WI LATER
TODAY...BUT WL BE LESS OPTIMISTIC WITH CLOUD COVER TODAY INTO TNGT.
SHOULD BE ENOUGH SUNSHINE TO WARM BACK INTO THE 60S MOST AREAS AWAY
FROM LAKE MICHIGAN.

DOWNSTREAM AMPLIFYING LONG WAVE TROFFING OVER ERN CONUS WILL RESULT
IN SHORT WAVE RIDGING UPSTREAM OVER CENTRAL CONUS.  LOW LEVEL JET WL
INCREASE TO THE WEST OF WI TONIGHT...FOCUSED OVER THE ERN DAKOTAS
INTO MN...NORTH AND WEST OF MAIN RIDGE.  WHILE LOW LEVEL RIDGING AND
LIGHT WINDS WILL EXTEND INTO SRN WI...PUSH OF MID LEVEL MOISTURE
WITH WEAK MID-LEVEL WARM AIR ADVECTION WL BE LOCATED UPSTREAM OVER
SRN MN.  MID LEVEL CLOUDS WL LIKELY PUSH INTO SRN WI...BUT NOT
ENOUGH MOISTURE AND FORCING EXPCD TO TRIGGER PRECIP IN THIS
AREA...SO REMOVED LOW POPS FROM WEST.  EXPC TEMPS TO DROP INTO THE
30S...BUT BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING SHOULD PREVENT WIDESPREAD FROST
FORMATION.

MONDAY - CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM
EAST FLOW AROUND DEPARTING HIGH WILL MAKE FOR TEMPS CLOSER TO A
NORMAL MARCH DAY. SURFACE HIGH WILL DOMINATE WITH MODELS KEEPING
PRECIP FURTHER BACK TO THE WEST. ISENTROPIC ANALYSIS DOES SHOW MID
LEVEL MOISTENING WITH LOWER CONDENSATION PRESSURE DEFICITS AND SOME
WEAK ADIABATIC OMEGA...HOWEVER SOUNDINGS AND LOWER LEVEL ANALYSIS
REVEALS QUITE A BIT OF DRY AIR TO OVERCOME. WAS GOING TO GO THE
SPRINKLE ROUTE IN THE WESTERN CWA BUT PREFER TO GO DRY AT THIS
POINT.

MONDAY NIGHT - CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM
MID LEVEL RIDGE AXIS SHIFTS TO OUR EAST. STRONG VORT MAX RIDES INTO
THE DAKOTAS. 850 MILLIBAR SOUTHWEST JET INCREASES THOUGH CORE OF
STRONGEST WINDS TO OUR NORTHWEST CLOSER TO THE BETTER GRADIENT
AROUND THE STRONG DAKOTAS LOW. DECENT 850 MOISTURE/THERMAL ADVECTION
WITH THIS PATTERN. MARKED INCREASE IN ISENTROPIC ADIABATIC OMEGA AND
MIXING RATIOS. NAM ELEVATED CAPE FROM 825 MILLIBARS SEVERAL HUNDRED
J/KG. PLENTY OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE BUT AIRMASS UPSTAIRS FAIRLY DRY.
GFS DRIER AND EVEN MORE STABLE. GEM/GFS AND SREF SKEWING QPF MAX
FURTHER NORTH AND JUST GRAZING CWA. ECMWF STILL GIVES THE ENTIRE
CWA A DECENT SHOT AT PRECIP. GUID POPS HAVE DROPPED AND LEANED
MORE IN THIS FAVOR GIVEN TRENDS NORTHWARD WITH QPF. STILL HAVE
SOME LIKELY POPS IN THE NORTHERN CWA IN THIS CASE.

TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT - CONFIDENCE...LOW TO MEDIUM
STRONG SHORT WAVE ROTATES FROM THE DAKOTAS TO NORTHEAST OF LAKE
SUPERIOR BY LATE TUESDAY NIGHT. BULK OF POSITIVE VORTICITY ADVECTION
WILL BE TO OUR NORTH. FAIR AMOUNT OF MOISTURE RETURN WITH MODEL
SURFACE DEWS PROGGD INTO THE MID 50S ACROSS SRN WI BY LATE
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. MOS MORE CONSERVATIVE IN THE 40S. AFTER A
COOL START TEMPS WILL LIKELY REBOUND WITH 925 TEMPS REACHING 13-16C.
LOCALLY DERIVED SEVERE WX PARAMETER...THE CWASP...STILL KEEPS THE
MAX JUST SOUTH OF WI...BUT CLOSE CALL. IN FACT SWODY3 MATCHES CLOSE
TO AXIS OF MAX CWASP. IF A NARROW RIBBON OF WARMTH AND MOISTURE CAN
SNEAK INTO WI AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT...THIS WOULD LEAD TO A
CORRIDOR OF ENOUGH CAPE AHEAD OF THE FRONT. CONFIDENCE NOT GREAT AT
THIS POINT ESPECIALLY WITH BRUNT OF VORT INFLUENCE TO THE NORTH AND
POTENTIAL FOR BETTER INSTABILITY TO REMAIN TO OUR SOUTH. TRACK OF THE
LOW AND STRENGTH OF WIND FIELDS RAISES SOME CONCERN. HOWEVER A LOOK
AT BOTH THE GFS AND NAM SOUNDINGS ARE QUITE UNIMPRESSIVE.
NEVERTHELESS...WILL KEEP THE CHANCE OF STORMS IN PLACE FOR TUESDAY
AND TUESDAY EVENING.

WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY - CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM
SHOT OF 850 COLD AIR ADVECTION WRAPS INTO THE AREA WEDNESDAY AND
LINGERS INTO THURSDAY. SURFACE HIGH AND UPPER RIDGING GRADUALLY
BUILD IN ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST THURSDAY. SHORTWAVE TROUGH SWINGS
THROUGH FROM THE NORTHWEST ON WEDNESDAY THOUGH AIRMASS LOOKS TOO DRY
TO SUPPORT PRECIP BASED ON BUFFY SOUNDINGS.

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY - CONFIDENCE...LOW
UPPER FLOW FLATTENS A BIT WITH SHORTWAVE ENERGY PROGGD INTO THE AREA
ON FRIDAY. DECENT CONSISTENCY AMONGST THE MODELS ON THIS. ECMWF
DEVELOPS PRECIP WITH SURFACE LOW ON SATURDAY THOUGH GFS HAS HIGH
DOMINATING WITH PRECIP TO OUR SOUTH. EVEN THE ECMWF DEVELOPMENT HAS
PRECIP LARGELY TO OUR WEST. GIVEN THIS POPS MAY BE TOO HIGH...BUT
LOTS OF TIME YET TO FINE TUNE WITH CERTAIN CHANGES ON
TIMING/STRENGTH YET TO COME.

&&

.AVIATION/12Z TAFS/...VFR CLOUDS CONTINUE TO THIN AND DISSIPATE FROM
THE NORTH EARLY THIS MORNING WITH AREAS OF DENSE FOG RAPIDLY
DEVELOPING UPSTREAM IN THE CLEARING.  KMSN MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO A
PERIOD OF DENSE FOG EARLY THIS MORNING...BUT LATEST 11-3.9 MICRON
IMAGERY SHOWING SOME BINOVC OVER SOUTHEAST WI AS WELL LAST HOUR OR
TWO.  HENCE FOG LIKELY AT ERN TAF SITES AS WELL EARLY.  HOWEVER
BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING AND LINGERING HIGH LOW LEVEL RH MAY RESULT IN
MORE STRATUS REDEVELOPMENT EARLY THIS MRNG VS THICKER FOG.

UPSTREAM STRATUS OVER FAR NORTHERN WI INTO NRN MN BEHIND APPROACHING
CDFNT NOT BEING HANDLED WELL BE SHORT TERM GUIDANCE.  CONFIDENCE LOW
BUT SOME OF THESE LOWER MVFR CLOUDS MAY AFFECT PORTIONS OF THE EAST
LATER TODAY INTO TNGT...ESPECIALLY WITH COLD AIR SURGE OFF OF LAKE
MICHIGAN.

&&

.MARINE...DRY AIR CONTINUES TO FUNNEL SOUTH ACROSS LAKE MI KEEPING
DENSE FOG AT BAY.  LIGHT NORTH WINDS WILL TURN ONSHORE TODAY AS A
WEAK COOL FRONT SLIPS SOUTH ACROSS LAKE MI AND SOUTHERN WI.  A
REINFORCING PUSH OF LOW LEVEL COLD AIR OVER THE WARMER LAKE WATERS
TONIGHT WL RESULT IN STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES.  THESE LOW LEVEL
UNSTABLE CONDITIONS OVER THE LAKE WILL ALLOW GUSTY WINDS IN EXCESS
OF 22KTS TO REACH THE LAKE SURFACE OVERNIGHT.  HENCE A SMALL CRAFT
ADVY WL BE POSTED.

A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT AHEAD OF STRONG LOW PRESSURE IN THE
NORTHERN PLAINS WILL RESULT IN GUSTY WINDS REDEVELOPING OVER THE
NEARSHORE WATERS OF LAKE MI LATE MONDAY NIGHT...CONTINUING ON
TUESDAY.

WISCONSIN...SOUTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN AND SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

THE PROBABILITY OF WIDESPREAD HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS LOW.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT AS
VIGOROUS LOW PRESSURE MOVING THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND
SOUTHERN CANADA DRAGS A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE REGION.

AT THIS TIME...THERE APPEARS A SMALL POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TO
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT AS IT MOVES
ACROSS SOUTHERN WISCONSIN TUESDAY AFTERNOON.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED ON TUESDAY.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF LAKE MICHIGAN.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

LIGHT WINDS AND MOIST AIR FLOWING OVER THE COOL WATERS OF LAKE
MICHIGAN WILL CONTINUE TO CAUSE AREAS OF DENSE FOG. A DENSE FOG
ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING FOR SOUTHERN
PORTIONS OF THE NEARSHORE ZONES. AS LOW LEVEL WINDS INCREASE FROM
THE NORTH...THE DENSE FOG IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY THIN AND
DISSIPATE FROM NORTH TO SOUTH.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH SATURDAY

A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT AROUND STRONG LOW PRESSURE...AND
AN ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES
...WILL RESULT IN WINDS AND WAVES REACHING SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
LEVELS AT TIMES FROM SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

THE COLD FRONT MAY BRING THUNDERSTORMS TO THE NEARSHORE WATERS
MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.
