AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
336 PM CDT WED OCT 3 2012

.VERY SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. FORECAST CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM
TO HIGH.

CLOUDS AND A FEW SHOWERS ACROSS THE EASTERN HALF OF THE FORECAST
AREA WILL EVENTUALLY PULL AWAY THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT...LEAVING
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA BY MORNING. WINDS ALOFT
WILL PICK UP AHEAD OF APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE OVERNIGHT...BUT WILL
REMAIN LIGHT NEAR THE SURFACE. WITH AFTERNOON DEW POINTS AWAY FROM
THE CLOUDS IN THE UPPER 30S TO MID 40S...TEMPS COULD FALL QUITE A
BIT OVERNIGHT. UNDERCUT BULK OF GUIDANCE FOR LOWS...THOUGH MILDER
TEMPS ALOFT AND PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED HIGHER WINDS ALOFT SHOULD KEEP
TEMPS A BIT MILDER THAN THE LAST COUPLE NIGHTS.

DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE WILL CROSS FROM NORTHERN MINNESOTA INTO
CANADA THURSDAY...DRAGGING A COLD FRONT ACROSS WISCONSIN. TEMPS WILL
BE MILD AHEAD OF THE FRONT...SHARPLY FALLING BEHIND THE FRONT.
MILDEST TEMPS WILL BE IN THE EAST WHERE THERE WILL BE MORE TIME FOR
HEATING BEFORE THE FRONT...WITH HIGHS GETTING INTO THE 70S. WITH
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT INCREASING TO
1-1.25 INCHES...AND DECENT LIFT WITH PASSAGE OF FRONT...SHOULD SEE
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND MAYBE EVEN A THUNDERSTORM TOMORROW. THOUGH
CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT THERE WILL BE SHOWERS...DID NOT GO HIGHER
THAN CHANCE POPS DUE TO LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN AREAL COVERAGE OF
SHOWERS.

.SHORT TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY.

WEATHER WILL BE DICTATED BY CLOSED LOW TRACKING FROM NORTHERN
MINNESOTA ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...AND
TRAILING TROUGH DEEPENING AS IT DROPS THROUGH REGION
SATURDAY/SATURDAY NIGHT WITH 250 MB JET INCREASING TO 117 KTS.

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

COLD AIR ADVECTION ON 40 TO 45 KNOT WINDS DROPS 850 MB TEMPERATURES
5C TO 10C BETWEEN 00Z FRIDAY AND 00Z SATURDAY WITH BELOW 0C
EVERYWHERE BY FRIDAY EVENING. PRECIPITATION WILL BE EAST OF FORECAST
AREA BY 00Z WITH STRONG SUBSIDENCE AND DRY AIR RAPIDLY SPREADING
IN...THOUGH SOME MID-LAYER FRONTOGENETIC FORCING AND MOISTURE ALONG
AND AHEAD OF TIGHT 850 MB BAROCLINIC ZONE MAY SPIT OUT A SPRINKLE OR
ISOLATED LIGHT SHOWER IN THE FAR EAST/SOUTHEAST FOR AN HOUR OR TWO
AFTER 00Z...BUT PROBABILITY IS VERY LOW SO WILL LEAVE OUT.

RAPIDLY CLEARING SKIES THURSDAY NIGHT BUT LOWS WILL BE TEMPERED BY
STIFF WNW WINDS ALOFT AND TIGHT SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT KEEPING
BOUNDARY LAYER STIRRED WITH 925 MB TEMPS AND A NEARLY ISOTHERMAL
PROFILE ON AREA FORECAST SOUNDINGS YIELDING LOWS IN THE LOW TO MID
30S WEST...MID 30S CENTRAL...AND MID TO UPPER 30S EAST WITH THE
WARMEST TEMPS IN THE FAR SOUTHEAST.

AFTER INITIAL SURGE...COLD AIR ADVECTION SLOWS A BIT DURING THE DAY
FRIDAY WITH COLDEST AIR STAYING TO THE NORTH...WRAPPING AROUND LOW
AS IT LIFTS NORTHEAST TOWARD HUDSON BAY. NEARLY FULL SUN ALLOWS DRY
ADIABATIC MIXING UP TO 800MB BUT +4C TO +5C 925 MB TEMPERATURES ONLY
BRINGS HIGHS ON FRIDAY INTO THE LOW TO MID 50S...WITH WINDY
CONDITIONS MAKING IT FEEL COOLER.

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

REINFORCING SHOT OF COLDER AIR FLOWS OVER REGION FRIDAY NIGHT BEHIND
TRAILING SHORT WAVE TROUGH...WITH MODELS SHOWING A WIDE RANGE OF 850
MB AND 925 MB TEMPERATURES. WIDESPREAD SUB-FREEZING SURFACE
TEMPERATURES A REAL POSSIBILITY WITH THE COLDER SOLUTIONS...EXCEPT
ALONG THE LAKE. LEANED TOWARD THE COLDER TEMPERATURE RANGES FOR
LOWS...BUT SURFACE WINDS NOT FORECAST TO COMPLETELY DECOUPLE SO LOW
CONFIDENCE FOR A FREEZE WATCH AT THIS TIME.

COLDEST AIR SHIFTS A BIT TO THE EAST DURING THE DAY SATURDAY...BUT
HIGHS WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH THE MID TO UPPER 40S WITH BRISK
NORTHWEST WINDS.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. FORECAST CONFIDENCE
MEDIUM.

BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURE REGIME REMAINS IN PLACE AS 6 TO 10 DAY MEAN
500 MB HEIGHT PROGS SUPPORT WELL-ALIGNED OPERATIONAL MODELS THAT
KEEP REGION UNDER COOL NW FLOW EARLY IN THE PERIOD...WITH A
QUASI-STATIONARY POLAR VORTEX NEAR THE ARCTIC CIRCLE AND THE AXIS OF
A DEEP 500 MB TROUGH EXTENDING SSE THROUGH HUDSON BAY TO THE
CENTRAL/EASTERN GREAT LAKES.

HEIGHT ANOMALIES OF -60M TO -90M IN THE 6-10 DAY MODIFY UPWARD TO
-30M IN THE 8 TO 14 DAY AS 250 MB FLOW BECOMES ZONAL AND BRIEFLY
WEAKENS OVER THE N CENTRAL U.S. MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. MOS GUIDANCE
TRYING TO RETURN TEMPERATURES TOWARD NORMAL MONDAY AND TUESDAY WITH
WARM ADVECTION AHEAD OF NEXT 500 MB TROUGH THAT SWINGS THROUGH THE
WESTERN GREAT LAKES TUESDAY NIGHT WEDNESDAY. WAA PCPN WITH THIS
TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW STAYS NORTH OF FORECAST AREA
MONDAY NIGHT/TUESDAY. WILL KEEP SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN FORECAST FOR
TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY BUT RETURN MOISTURE FLOW...INITIALLY
