AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
332 AM CST THU JAN 19 2012

.TODAY AND TONIGHT AND THURSDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM TO HIGH

STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS EXITING ERN WI ALONG WITH NARROW BAND OF
LGT SNOW. THE ASSOCIATED ARCTIC COLD FRONT IS CURRENTLY MOVING
ACROSS SRN WI WITH TEMPS EXPECTED TO DROP TO NEAR ZERO OR SLIGHTLY
BELOW ZERO OVER MUCH OF SOUTH CENTRAL WI AROUND SUNRISE. WIND CHILL
TEMPS ARE STILL FORECASTED TO BE AROUND -20F WHERE WIND CHILL
ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT. STRONG COLD ADVECTION TO THEN GREATLY LIMIT
ANY WARMING FROM THE SUN TODAY. WIND CHILL TEMPS TO REMAIN AROUND
-10F FOR THE AFTERNOON. HIGH PRESSURE TO THEN SETTLE OVER SRN WI
LATER TNT WITH PERFECT CONDITIONS FOR RADIATIONAL COOLING HOWEVER
HIGH CLOUDS WILL INCREASE AFTER MIDNIGHT. DESPITE THE EXPECTED
CLOUDS LATE...BELIEVE TEMPS WILL DROP QUICKLY THIS EVENING WITH LOW
TEMPS BELOW ZERO MOST LOCATIONS.

FRIDAY - CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM
MAIN FORCING MECHANISMS SETTING UP TO BE 250 MILLIBAR RIGHT REAR
QUAD JET DYNAMICS WITH ISENTROPIC LIFT IN THE LOWER LEVELS. 280-290K
PLOTS SUGGEST BEST LIFT AND MOISTURE WILL BE TO OUR SOUTH IN
NORTHERN ILLINOIS...HOWEVER THE NAM IS A BIT MORE ROBUST WITH 3 G/KG
INTO OUR FAR SOUTH. THE NAM HAS TRENDED THEIR QPF AXIS A BIT FURTHER
SOUTH AND WITH THE ARCTIC AIR BECOMING ENTRENCHED IN THE WAKE OF
THIS FRONT...A FURTHER SOUTH SHIFT IN THE AXIS OF HEAVIER QPF SEEMS
TO MAKE SENSE. THE 12Z ECMWF SHOWED HEAVIEST QPF ACROSS THE I-94
CORRIDOR AND THE 00Z RUN HAS MAINTAINED THIS. MODERATE 700-300
MILLIBAR Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE WITH FAIRLY DEEP DENDRITIC GROWTH
ZONE. THE NAM IS NOT AS DEEP WHILE THE GFS STILL LOOKS DEEP. WENT
WITH A BLEND OF THE GFS AND NAM WITH RESPECT TO SNOW RATIOS. ROEBBER
TECHNIQUE LEANS US TOWARDS THE HIGHER RATIOS. WENT WITH AN AMALGAM
OF THE GFS/ECMWF/GEM QPF NUMBERS. WITH HIGH RATIOS EXPECTING A
LOT OF FLUFF. WILL GO WITH A WATCH IN THE SOUTHERN HALF...THOUGH
NOT AN EASY DECISION GIVEN LACK OF WIND AND SOMEWHAT BORDERLINE
AMOUNTS...BUT ENOUGH OVER 6 INCH NUMBERS IN THE GRIDS TO PUSH IT
OUT. REST OF AREA STILL LOOKING LIKE A SOLID ADVISORY. WITH LOW
LEVEL WINDS SHIFTING NE SOME LAKE ENHANCEMENT POSSIBLE IN THE SE
DURING THE EVENING BEFORE SYSTEM DEPARTS.

SATURDAY - CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM
WEAK 500 MILLIBAR RIDGE SHIFTS ACROSS THE AREA. SURFACE HIGH
GRADUALLY SHIFTS EAST AND 850 WARM ADVECTION GETS UNDERWAY.

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT - CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM
WARM ADVECTION CONTINUES SATURDAY NIGHT AHEAD OF ADVANCING DEEP
TROUGH IN THE PLAINS. MODELS ARE ALL IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH
THIS FEATURE. GFS HAS THE LOW OFF TO OUR NORTHWEST WHILE THE GEMNH
AND ECMWF SHOW IT PASSING JUST TO OUR SOUTHEAST. INITIALLY WARM
COLUMN COLLAPSES AS COLDER AIR WRAPS IN. EVEN THE NORTHWARD GFS
BRINGS COLDER AIR IN AS THE AXIS OF UPPER TROUGH SHIFTS ACROSS. WILL
HAVE A MIX INITIALLY AND CHANGE OVER TO SNOW....WITH LIGHT SNOW
CONTINUING INTO SUNDAY NIGHT.

MONDAY - CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM
LINGERING CYCLONIC FLOW MAY LEAD TO SOME SNOW SHOWERS/FLURRIES.
LIGHT QPF SUGGESTED BY MODELS THROUGH 18Z.

TUESDAY - CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM
BRIEF RIDGING BETWEEN SYSTEMS. GFS/ECMWF ON THE SAME PAGE IN THIS
REGARD...SO EXPECTING A BREAK.

WEDNESDAY - CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM
YET ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH TAKES AIM ON THE AREA. THIS ONE HAS A MORE
WESTERN LOOK TO IT WITH RESPECT TO THE KEY UPPER FEATURES...SO
ANOTHER SCENARIO WHERE MILD AIR MAY HAVE A SAY AT THE OUTSET WITH A
TRANSITION TO SNOW AS COLDER AIR COMES INTO PLAY.
