AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
329 AM CST WED DEC 5 2012
.SHORT TERM...
TODAY.....FORECAST CONFIDENCE HIGH.
A DRY DAY WITH MID-UPPER LEVEL RIDGING BUILDING OVER REGION... AS
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES ACROSS THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES.
WATCHING BAND OF LAKE-EFFECT CUMULUS AROUND 3K FT DROPPING SOUTH
THROUGH LOWER MICHIGAN AND ERN HALF OF LAKE MI ON IR SATELLITE
IMAGERY. COULD BE SOME TWO-LAKE MOISTURE FEEDING THESE CLOUDS THAT
ARE ON LEADING EDGE OF POOL OF COLDEST 850 MB TEMPS THAT SLIDES BY
TO THE NORTHEAST TODAY. NW WINDS VEER NE BELOW 3K FT BY 15Z...BUT
WITH RELATIVELY WARM 850 MB TEMPS STAYING AROUND 0C WITH SUBSIDENCE
INVERSION DELTA T/S REMAIN AROUND 7C TO 9C. STEEP LAPSE RATES BELOW
2K FT/930 MB/ BUT LIMITED MOISTURE. EXCEPTION ARE RAP SOUNDINGS
WHICH INDICATE A BROKEN DECK FORMING MID AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING.
WILL KEEP SKY COVER NO MORE THAN 50 PERCENT FOR NOW AND KEEP AN EYE
ON TRENDS.
WARM AIR ADVECTION BEGINS THIS AFTERNOON...WITH A 925 MB TEMPERATURE
GRADIENT SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST YIELDING NO BETTER THAN MID 30 HIGHS
IN THE NORTHEAST WITH AROUND 40 IN THE SOUTHWEST.
TONIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM TO HIGH.
WAA BRINGS MID TO HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS
EVENING...WITH 1-2 UBAR/SEC ISENTROPIC ADIABATIC OMEGA BRUSHING THE
NORTHWEST HALF OF CWA BETWEEN 06Z AND 12Z THURSDAY. HOWEVER MODEL
SOUNDINGS SHOW A VERY DRY LAYER BELOW 6-7K FT THAT NEVER
SATURATES...SUPPORTED BY CONDENSATION PRESSURE DEFICITS THAT NEVER
LOWER BELOW 100 MB ON 280K AND 285K SURFACES. WILL LIMIT SLIGHT
CHANCE POPS TO FAR NW. INCREASING CLOUDS AND WARM AIR ADVECTION ON
STRENGTHENING SOUTH WINDS LEADS TO A NON-DIURNAL TREND TO
TEMPERATURES...WITH LOWS AROUND 03Z THEN A SLOW RISE THROUGH
DAYBREAK.
THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM
STRONG LOW PRESSURE WILL ONCE AGAIN TRAVERSE EWD ACROSS CANADA
DURING THIS PERIOD BRINGING SSWLY FLOW AND LOW TO MID LEVEL WARM
ADVECTION FOR THU. THE WARM ADVECTION WILL LEAD TO WIDESPREAD
CLOUDS AND SMALL CHANCES OF RAIN FOR THU. THE CLOUDS WILL KEEP THE
TEMPS IN THE 40S THIS TIME AROUND. THE TRAILING COLD FRONT WILL
THEN SLOWLY MOVE SWD THROUGH THE AREA THU NT. MORE IMPORTANTLY...850-700
MB FRONTOGENESIS WILL BECOME ORGANIZED VIA CONFLUENT FLOW IN THAT
LAYER AS THE POLAR JET STREAM DROPS MORE SWD INTO THE USA. MOST
MODELS PRODUCE A SW TO NE BAND OF LGT RAIN THU NT SO WENT WITH
LIKELY POPS FOR THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA.
.LONG TERM...
FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE LOW TO MEDIUM
A SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL PASS FROM THE NRN PLAINS THROUGH WI FOR
FRI NT INTO SATURDAY BRINGING SMALL CHANCES OF LGT SNOW WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF A MIXTURE SAT AFTERNOON. AT THE SURFACE...WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE REGION.
DURING THE WEEKEND AN UPPER TROUGH WILL DIG INTO THE PLAINS AND
THEN SWING NEWD TOWARD THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY AND ERN GREAT LAKES.
AT THE SFC A MORE ORGANIZED SFC LOW WILL DEVELOP TO ERN IL BY 00Z MON
AND THEN NEWD THROUGH MI AND INTO QUEBEC FOR LATE ON MON. TIMING
AND STRENGTH DIFFERENCES REMAIN AMONG THE MODELS BUT NONETHELESS
SHOWING BETTER AGREEMENT. THIS SCENARIO RESULTS IN BETTER CHANCES
OF JUST SNOW AWAY FROM FAR SE WI BUT WILL STILL MENTION RAIN AND
SNOW OVER MOST OF THE AREA DUE TO UNCERTAINTY. PCPN TYPE WILL BE MAINLY
LIGHT SNOW FOR SUN NT THROUGH TUE WHILE ON THE BASKSIDE OF THE LOW
AND ANOTHER WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH FOR TUE.
&&
.AVIATION/12Z TAFS/...
WILL KEEP VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE FORECAST. CONCERN WITH
POTENTIAL MVFR LAKE-CLOUDS AS NORTH-NORTHWEST WINDS TURN NORTHEAST
LATE THIS MORNING...THEN EAST MID-AFTERNOON. SUBSIDENCE INVERSION
HOLDS STEEPER LAPSE RATES TO 2K FT OR LESS WITH LITTLE DEPTH TO
SATURATED LAYER ON NAM AND GFS SOUNDINGS...THOUGH RAP SOUNDINGS
INDICATE POTENTIAL FOR A BROKEN DECK AROUND 2K FT THIS AFTERNOON.
WITH COLD POOL THAT IS GENERATING CLOUDS OVER LOWER MICHIGAN SLIDING
BY TO THE NORTHEAST...WILL KEEP CURRENT SCATTERED 2K FT FOR TODAY
AND MONITOR DEVELOPMENTS TOWARD ISSUANCE.
COULD BE A PERIOD OF LOW-LEVEL WIND SHEAR THIS EVENING WITH 925 MB
WINDS INCREASING TO 30-35 KNOTS...BEFORE WARM AIR ADVECTION ALLOWS
ENOUGH MIXING TO RAISE SURFACE WINDS. DIFFERENTIAL IS HOVERING NEAR
BUT JUST BELOW CRITERIA SO WILL LEAVE OUT FOR NOW BUT BRIEF NEXT
SHIFT TO WATCH LATER MODEL RUNS.
&&
.MARINE...
QUIET TODAY...WITH NORTHWEST WINDS VEERING NORTHEAST AND THEN EAST
DURING THE DAY. ISSUED A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY FOR THE NORTHERN TWO
NEARSHORE ZONES FOR 08Z THURSDAY TO 00Z FRIDAY AS SOUTH WINDS
INCREASE AHEAD OF LOW PRESSURE DEEPENING AS IT TRACKS FROM NEAR LAKE
WINNIPEG TO HUDSON BAY. THE WINDS WILL BUILD HIGH WAVES FROM
MILWAUKEE NORTH. THOUGH THERE WILL BE A FEW GUSTS TO 25 KNOTS...
WAVES SHOULD REMAIN JUST BELOW CRITERIA SOUTH OF MILWAUKEE DUE TO
MORE LIMITED FETCH. WINDS TURN SW AROUND 18Z THURSDAY AND DIMINISH
BELOW CRITERIA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...BUT 00Z FRIDAY END TIME WILL
ALLOW WAVES TO SUBSIDE.
