AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
313 PM CST FRI NOV 9 2012

.TONIGHT AND SATURDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM TO HIGH.

CLOUDS WILL CONTINUE TO STREAM INTO THE AREA THROUGH THE REST OF
THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT...AS WARM AIR ADVECTION/MOISTURE REGIME
REMAINS. SOUTHWESTERLY LOW LEVEL JET NOSE POINTS INTO THE AREA
TONIGHT...WITH CONTINUED WARM AIR ADVECTION. MORE FOCUSED WARM AIR
ADVECTION MOVES THROUGH LATER TONIGHT AS WELL. NAM/GFS/RAP AREA
FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW SATURATION IN THE LOWEST 8000 FEET OF THE
AIR COLUMN TONIGHT.

THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO GENERATE SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA...THUS
WENT WITH INCREASING POPS THIS EVENING AND HIGH POPS AFTER
MIDNIGHT...HIGHEST IN THE NORTHWEST HALF WHERE BEST UPWARD VERTICAL
MOTION IS EXPECTED. MEAGER ELEVATED CAPES ARE SHOWN ON AREA FORECAST
SOUNDINGS...SO JUST MENTIONED ISOLATED THUNDER. TEMPERATURES WILL
FALL SOMEWHAT THIS EVENING...BEFORE STEADY OR SLOWLY RISING AFTER
MIDNIGHT.

SURFACE WARM FRONT WILL PUSH NORTHWARD THROUGH THE AREA LATE TONIGHT
AND SATURDAY MORNING...TAKING ANY PRECIPITATION WITH IT NORTHWARD
OUT OF THE AREA BY THE AFTERNOON. AREA GETS INTO WARM SECTOR IN THE
AFTERNOON...WITH BREEZY SOUTH WINDS AND SOME SCATTERING OUT OF THE
CLOUDS PER AREA FORECAST SOUNDINGS.

THIS WILL HAVE A BIT IMPACT ON HIGH TEMPERATURES. NAM 925MB
TEMPERATURES SUGGEST LOWER 70S...WITH MOS GUIDANCE IN THE MID TO
UPPER 60S. RECORDS ARE 65 AT MILWAUKEE AND 67 AT MADISON FOR
SATURDAY...WHICH CERTAINLY SHOULD BE REACHED EVEN WITH ONLY SOME
MIXING OUT OCCURS. MID TO UPPER 60S WILL BE FORECAST FOR NOW...AND
COULD GO HIGHER IF MORE MIXING OCCURS THAN ANTICIPATED.

.SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS
HIGH.

ONLY MINOR TWEAKS MADE TO THIS PERIOD AS A STRONG COLD FRONT
WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE REGION. TRIED TO ADD A LITTLE MORE
RESOLUTION TO THE TIMING OF THE FRONT...THOUGH THE OVERALL SPEED
REMAINS UNCHANGED. POPS ARE NEAR 100 PERCENT WITH THIS FROPA AS
THE DYNAMICS WITH THE FRONT ARE QUITE HIGH. THE MID LEVEL SUPPORT
FEATURES A SERIES OF WEAK SHORT WAVES THAT WILL RIDE NORTH
AHEAD/ALONG THE FRONT WITHIN A STRONG SOUTHWEST MID LEVEL FLOW AHEAD
OF THE MAIN SHORT WAVE TROF. THAT TROF AXIS DOESN/T COME THROUGH
UNTIL MONDAY AFTERNOON...BUT THE BEST SUPPORT FROM THE ASSOCIATED
SHORT WAVE ENERGY EXITS MONDAY MORNING. THERE IS STRONG AND VERY
DEEP FRONTOGENESIS WITH THE FRONT. PLENTY OF MOISTURE IS IN PLACE.
THE GOES SOUNDER IMAGERY SHOWS A PLUME OF PRECIPITABLE WATER IN
PLACE WITH VALUES OF AROUND 1 INCH STRETCHING FROM SOUTH
TEXAS...NORTH NORTHEAST INTO IOWA AND FAR SOUTHWEST WI. THERE IS A
POCKET OF HIGHER PW/S OVER THE TIP OF BAJA MEXICO THAT THE GFS
TAKES ACROSS OLD MEXICO AND EJECTS IT NORTH INTO THE MID AND
UPPER MS RIVER VALLEY ON SUNDAY. ALL THIS SUPPORTS THE HIGH PRECIP
NUMBERS THAT WILL LIKELY BE BETWEEN 1-11/2 INCHES THROUGH MONDAY
MORNING.

COLD AIR WILL BE SPILLING IN BEHIND THE FRONT...BUT I/M STILL NOT
SEEING MUCH IN THE WAY OF A CHANGE-OVER TO A MIX OR FROZEN PRECIP
BEFORE IT ENDS. IT CONTINUES TO APPEAR THE PRECIP WILL END BEFORE
TEMPS TURN COLD ENOUGH FOR THE TRANSITION.

.MONDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS HIGH.

MAIN STORY HERE WILL BE THE SHARP COLD ADVECTION IN THE WAKE OF
THE FRONT. THERE MAY STILL BE SOME PRECIP LINGERING IN THE FAR
SOUTHEAST EARLY IN THE MORNING. AS MENTIONED ABOVE...THE SHARP 500MB
TROF WILL BE DRIFTING THROUGH DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE COMBO OF
THIS SHORT WAVE...THE COLD TEMPS ALOFT AND SOME MOISTURE HOLDING
AROUND 3-5KFT...MAY RESULT IN SOME SCT FLURRIES DURING THE
AFTERNOON. NO MEASURABLE AMOUNTS THOUGH. JUST FLAKES TO REMIND US
HOW COLD IT IS.

.FOR THE REMAINDER OF NEXT WEEK...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS HIGH.

A BIG HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM SHOULD CONTROL MUCH OF THE WEATHER
DURING THIS TIME. VERY CHILLY MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY...BUT TEMPERATURES
WILL SLOWLY MODIFY EACH DAY WITH MORE SUNSHINE THAN CLOUDS
EXPECTED.

&&

.AVIATION/00Z TAFS/...SOME VFR/MVFR HAZE HANGING ON THIS AFTERNOON
AT TAF SITES...AND PROBABLY WILL LINGER INTO TONIGHT AS MIST. VFR
CLOUDS WILL BECOME MVFR BY 03Z SATURDAY...AS LEADING EDGE OF LOW
LEVEL JET STREAM AND ASSOCIATED MOISTURE CONTINUE MOVING INTO THE
REGION. RAIN SHOWERS SHOULD DEVELOP BY 03Z SATURDAY AS WELL.

SHOULD SEE THIS AREA OF RAIN SHOWERS AFFECT THE TAF SITES LATER
TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING...ENDING BY 18Z SATURDAY. MVFR TO IFR
CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES ARE EXPECTED FOR MOST OF THIS PERIOD.
WINDS WILL STEADILY INCREASE OUT OF THE EAST/SOUTHEAST TONIGHT...AND
BECOME BREEZY OUT OF THE SOUTH BY 18Z SATURDAY...AS SURFACE WARM
FRONT MOVES NORTH THROUGH THE AREA. VFR CEILINGS/VISIBILITIES ARE
THEN EXPECTED SATURDAY AFTERNOON...WITH SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS
POSSIBLE.

&&

.MARINE...SURFACE WARM FRONT OVER NORTHERN ILLINOIS WILL MOVE NORTH
ACROSS THE NEARSHORE WATERS OF LAKE MICHIGAN LATER TONIGHT AND
SATURDAY MORNING. EAST/SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL VEER TO THE SOUTH BY
SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND BECOME BREEZY.

STRENGTHENING LOW PRESSURE WILL THEN MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS MINNESOTA
INTO WESTERN ONTARIO CANADA SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY. BREEZY SOUTH
TO SOUTHWEST WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS LOW WILL AFFECT THE
NEARSHORE WATERS LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY
NIGHT...WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS EXPECTED ON SUNDAY. GUSTS DURING
THIS TIME MAY REACH GALE FORCE LEVELS...AND WILL HAVE TO WATCH
POTENTIAL IN LATER FORECASTS.

BRISK WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS ARE THEN EXPECTED SUNDAY NIGHT AND
MONDAY...AFTER THE STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA. THESE
WINDS WILL GENERATE HIGH WAVES LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON INTO SUNDAY
NIGHT...BEFORE BEING PUSHED TOWARD THE OPEN WATERS BY MONDAY.

A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED FOR LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON
INTO SUNDAY EVENING. AGAIN...LATER SHIFTS WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR
GALE WARNING POTENTIAL ON SUNDAY.
