AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
331 AM CDT WED APR 4 2012

.TODAY AND TONIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...HIGH

UPPER RIDGING SLOWLY BUILDING IN FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND BROAD
CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE SUPPRESSING ANY PRECIPITATION AROUND CLOSED
SOUTHERN PLAINS LOW WELL SOUTH OF WISCONSIN. COLD-AIR ADVECTION
CONTINUES DOWN THE LAKE AND INLAND ON AT TIMES GUSTY NORTHEAST
WINDS...WHICH WILL PRODUCE A WEST-EAST TEMPERATURE GRADIENT. MIXING
UP TO 900MB IN THE WEST WILL YIELD HIGHS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S PER
BLENDED 925 MB TEMPERATURES...WITH LIMITED MIXING HOLDING HIGHS IN
THE LOWER 50S IN THE EAST.

MAIN ISSUE TONIGHT WILL BE LOW TEMPERATURES. SURFACE GRADIENT AND
20+ KNOT WINDS JUST OFF THE DECK ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN 5 TO 10 KNOT
SURFACE WINDS OVERNIGHT. THIS LOW-LEVEL STIRRING PRODUCING A WEAK
INVERSION AT BEST...THAT WITH EXPECTED 925MB TEMPERATURES SUPPORT
WIDESPREAD 30-32F LOWS...WITH A FEW LOW SPOTS EXPECTED TO DIP INTO
THE UPPER 20S. NOT WIDESPREAD ENOUGH FOR A FREEZE HEADLINE...BUT
WILL CONTINUE MENTION IN THE HWO AND IN AN SPS. ADDED PATCHY FROST
TO NORTHWEST LOCATIONS WHERE WINDS WILL BE LIGHTEST IN LOW-LYING...
SHELTERED AREAS.

.THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM TO HIGH

SFC HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED JUST TO THE NORTH OF LAKE SUPERIOR
THURSDAY MORNING WILL MEANDER SOUTH TO OVER MICHIGAN BY FRIDAY
EVENING. MEANWHILE...UPPER RIDGING WILL BUILD BACK INTO THE AREA
BEHIND EXITING UPPER LOW TO THE SOUTH. OVERALL...LOOKS LIKE A VERY
DRY AIRMASS ACROSS SOUTHERN WISCONSIN FOR THE LATTER PART OF THE
WORK WEEK. NO PRECIP EXPECTED...WITH ONLY PASSING HIGH CLOUDS AT
TIMES.

AWAY FROM LAKE MICHIGAN...NEAR NORMAL HIGHS EXPECTED
THURSDAY...RISING TO A FEW DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL FRIDAY AS TEMPS
ALOFT INCREASE WITH THE RIDGE BUILDING IN. COOLER DAYTIME TEMPS
NEAR THE LAKE WILL CONTINUE. CHILLY TEMPS EXPECTED AT
NIGHT WITH THE DRY AIR...ESPECIALLY AS THE HIGH DRAWS NEAR
THURSDAY NIGHT. FROST FORMATION MAY STRUGGLE WITH DRY
AIRMASS...SO JUST MENTIONED PATCHY FROST. HARD FREEZE NOT OUT OF
THE QUESTION...BUT FORECAST LOWS GENERALLY ABOVE CRITICAL
THRESHOLD OF 28 DEGREES...SO WILL HOLD OFF ON A WATCH FOR NOW.

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

MODELS STILL SHOWING UPPER SHORTWAVE AND SFC COLD FRONT TO BRING
SHOWER CHANCES SAT AFTERNOON AND INTO THE NIGHT. A LITTLE CAPE IN
THE SOUNDINGS...SO KEPT SOME MENTION OF THUNDER. SOUTHERLY WINDS
AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM WILL RESULT IN HIGH TEMPS A GOOD 10 DEGREES
ABOVE NORMAL...THOUGH A BIT COOLER NEAR THE LAKE AGAIN.

QUIET WEATHER THEN SUNDAY BEHIND THE SYSTEM. NOT MUCH OF A PUSH OF
COOLER AIR BEHIND THE FRONT...SO HIGHS SHOULD BE RIGHT BACK TO
AROUND 60. MAY EVEN SEE MILDER TEMPS ALL THE WAY TO THE LAKE...AS
WESTERLY WINDS SHOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH TO KEEP THE LAKE BREEZE
OFFSHORE.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...LOW

MODELS DIVERGE FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK...WITH THE GFS HAVING A TROUGHING
PATTERN OVER THE GREAT LAKES...WHILE THE ECMWF QUICKER TO BUILD
UPPER RIDGE IN FROM THE WEST. ECMWF AND GFS ARE SHOWING A WAVE
MONDAY...SO WENT WITH SLIGHT CHANCE POPS. OTHERWISE...LOOKS PRETTY
DRY. ECMWF MUCH MILDER THAN THE GFS WITH THE RIDGE...SO JUST WENT
DOWN THE MIDDLE FOR NOW WITH NO GOOD REASON TO GO WITH ONE
SOLUTION OR THE OTHER.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD.
INITIALLY LIGHT WINDS WILL INCREASE WITH MIXING AFTER DAYBREAK...
WITH SOME GUSTS TO 20 KNOTS AT EASTERN TAF SITES. GRADIENT TIGHTENS
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT AS SHORT WAVE TROUGH DROPS THROUGH
THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES. SURFACE COOLING UNDER CLEAR SKIES WILL
DECOUPLE SURFACE WINDS BRINGING POTENTIAL FOR LOW-LEVEL WIND SHEAR
AS WINDS BETWEEN 1K AND 2K FEET INCREASE TO 30-35 KNOTS FOR A FEW
HOURS CENTERED ON 06Z. HOWEVER ENOUGH SURFACE WIND REMAINS THAT RATE
OF CHANGE WITH HEIGHT AND OVERALL DIFFERENTIAL JUST BELOW
