URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
309 PM CST MON DEC 17 2012

...MAJOR WINTER STORM POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...

.A MAJOR WINTER STORM IS EXPECTED TO TAKE SHAPE OVER THE
PANHANDLE OF TEXAS ON WEDNESDAY AND TRACK NORTHEAST INTO THE
GREAT LAKES REGION ON THURSDAY. THIS STORM HAS BEEN PROJECTED BY
MANY OF OUR LONG RANGE COMPUTER MODELS FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS.
CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT THERE WILL BE A PARALYZING SNOW STORM IN
THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES REGION WITH BLIZZARD OR NEAR BLIZZARD
CONDITIONS POSSIBLE.

TYPICAL FOR A WINTER STORM THAT IS STILL A FEW DAYS AWAY...THERE
IS PLENTY OF UNCERTAINTY ABOUT WHERE THAT HEAVY SNOW BAND WILL
SET UP. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE VARIOUS COMPUTER MODEL SIMULATIONS
AVAILABLE TO US...WE FEEL CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO ISSUE A WINTER
STORM WATCH FOR A PORTION OF SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST
WISCONSIN.

IT CAN/T BE STRESSED ENOUGH THAT GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY...IT IS
QUITE LIKELY THAT PORTIONS OF THIS WATCH AREA MAY BE TRIMMED OR
COUNTIES ADDED AS THE EVENT DRAWS NEAR.

THE PERIOD OF HEAVIEST SNOW WILL LIKELY ARRIVE AFTER MIDNIGHT
WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY ON THURSDAY...
DIMINISHING FROM WEST TO EAST IN THE AFTERNOON. STRONG NORTHWEST
WINDS GUSTING TO AROUND 35 MPH BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON COULD CAUSE
BLIZZARD OR NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS.

IT APPEARS SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN WILL SEE TOO MUCH WARM AIR WRAP
INTO THE AREA...AROUND THE INTENSE LOW...BRINGING THAT AREA A
BLEND OF RAIN...RAIN/SNOW...WITH A TRANSITION TO ALL SNOW TOWARD
THE END OF THE STORM.

THURSDAY...DIMINISHING FROM WEST TO EAST IN THE AFTERNOON. 

STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS GUSTING TO 35 TO 45 MPH BY THURSDAY
AFTERNOON COULD CAUSE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS. THE PRIMARY UNCERTAINTY
WITH BLIZZARD CONDITIONS THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING IS
NEAR FREEZING TEMPERATURES AND HOW WET THE SNOW IS. A WET SNOW
WOULD REDUCE THE THREAT FOR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS...WHILE A DRIER
AND FLUFFY SNOW WOULD INCREASE THE THREAT FOR WHITEOUT CONDITIONS.

IT APPEARS FAR SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN WILL SEE TOO MUCH WARM AIR
WRAP INTO THE AREA...AROUND THE INTENSE LOW...BRINGING THAT AREA
A BLEND OF RAIN...RAIN/SNOW...WITH A TRANSITION TO ALL SNOW
TOWARD THE END OF THE STORM. THUS TOTAL SNOWFALL IN THIS AREA WILL
BE A LOT LESS THAN FARTHER WEST.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
1118 AM CST MON DEC 17 2012

.UPDATE...CLOUDY SKIES WILL LIKELY PERSIST ACROSS SOUTHERN
WISCONSIN INTO THIS AFTERNOON. MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THAT THIS
STUBBORN DECK WILL BEGIN TO BREAK UP IN THE AFTERNOON...BUT
THE STRATUS IS QUITE EXTENSIVE AND MODELS HAVE BEEN TOO QUICK TO
GET RID OF IT THUS FAR. TEMPERATURES SEEM ON TRACK FOR AFTERNOON
HIGHS...SO NOT PLANNING ANY SIGNIFICANT UPDATES FOR THE REMAINDER
OF THE DAY.

ON ANOTHER NOTE...LATEST MODEL RUNS ARE STILL SHOWING A WINTER
STORM THREAT FOR THE MIDDLE OF THIS WEEK FOR AT LEAST A PORTION OF
THE FORECAST AREA. THE LATEST NAM HAS SHIFTED SOUTH BY ABOUT 160
MILES...A MOVE THAT INCREASES THE CHANCES THAT THIS STORM WILL
IMPACT PARTS OF SOUTHERN WISCONSIN WITH HEAVY SNOW. THE GFS HAS
GENERALLY HELD COURSE...WITH A TRACK VERY SIMILAR TO THE NAM. THE
NEW CANADIAN HAS KEPT A SIMILAR TRACK TO THE PREVIOUS RUN...A BIT
FARTHER SOUTH THAN THE GFS/NAM. THE BIG DIFFERENCE IS THAT IT IS
MILDER...MUCH QUICKER...AND THE LOW BOMBS OUT AFTER IT PASSES BY.
THESE NORTHERN SOLUTIONS WOULD KEEP THE HEAVIEST SNOW ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST FORECAST AREA...WITH A MIX OF RAIN/SNOW OR ALL RAIN FOR
A TIME IN THE SOUTHEAST.

THE NEXT ECMWF RUN IS NOT DUE IN UNTIL EARLY AFTERNOON...WITH
THE PREVIOUS RUN CONTINUING TO SHOW A FARTHER SOUTH TRACK THAN
OTHER MODELS. THIS WOULD BRING WINTER STORM CONDITIONS TO PRETTY
MUCH THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA.

THOUGH UNCERTAINTY OBVIOUSLY REMAINS IN THE TRACK/TIMING OF THIS
STRONG SYSTEM...THERE IS ENOUGH OVERLAP AMONG MODELS IN THE
NORTHWEST FORECAST AREA TO GO WITH A WINTER STORM WATCH.
DEPENDING ON FUTURE MODEL RUNS...THE WATCH AREA WILL BE MODIFIED
AS NEEDED AS CONFIDENCE INCREASES IN A PARTICULAR STORM TRACK.

&&

.AVIATION/18Z TAFS/...MIX OF IFR AND MVFR CIGS CONTINUE ACROSS
SOUTHERN WISCONSIN. MODELS ARE TRYING TO SCATTER THINGS OUT THIS
AFTERNOON...BUT NOT SURE THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN...AS MODELS
INITIALLY HAD THE SUN POKING OUT BY NOW. WILL KEEP CONDITIONS AS IS
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...EXTENDING INTO THE EVENING IF THINGS DO
NOT SHOW SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT LATER ON.

LOW PRESSURE WILL SLIDE THROUGH SOUTHERN WISCONSIN
TOMORROW...BRINGING A CHANCE FOR RAIN/SNOW SHOWERS. IF CONDITIONS
HAVE ACTUALLY IMPROVED BY THEN...MAY SEE CIGS GO BACK DOWN AS THE
LOW SLIDES THROUGH.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 408 AM CST MON DEC 17 2012/

SHORT TERM...

TODAY AND TONIGHT-FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM TO HIGH

WEAK COLD ADVECTION WILL CONTINUE TODAY ON WNWLY WINDS. THE STRATUS
DECK OVER THE REGION IS ESTIMATED AROUND 1 KFT AND JUST NOT SURE IF
IT WILL ERODE ENOUGH FOR PARTLY CLOUDY CONDITIONS...ALTHOUGH THE
MODELS AND MOS GUIDANCE DOES SUGGEST THIS. WILL GO WITH A
PERSISTENCE FORECAST FOR A WHILE TODAY BUT DO EXPECT SOME EROSION IN
THE STRATUS IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

OTHERWISE A SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER WRN NE AND WRN KS WILL TRACK EWD
ALONG THE OHIO RVR VALLEY FOR TNT WHILE THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH
CURRENTLY OVER WRN ND WILL TRAVERSE ACROSS NRN AND CENTRAL WI. THE
MODELS SUGGEST THE LATTER SHORTWAVE WILL BRING BKN-OVC CLOUDS INTO
THE REGION WITHIN THE 850-700 MB LEVEL WITH NO PCPN. ANOTHER YET
STRONGER SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND WEAK SFC LOW WILL MOVE FROM THE NRN
ROCKIES TODAY TO IA BY 12Z TUE. THIS WILL HELP MAINTAIN HIGH
CONFIDENCE OF CLOUDS ESPECIALLY OVER THE WRN CWA TOWARD TUE AM BUT
850-700 MB WARM ADVECTION AND FRONTOGENESIS SHOULD REMAIN FAR ENOUGH
TO THE WEST TO KEEP THE FORECAST DRY FOR MON NT. THESE FEATURES AND
PCPN WILL THEN MOVE INTO THE AREA ON TUE. GIVEN CLOUD COVER AND WEAK
WIND FLOW...TEMPS HAVE A SMALL DIURNAL CURVE TODAY AND TNT.

TUESDAY-FORECAST CONFIDENCE HIGH

COMPACT BUT POTENT SHORT WAVE TROUGH CURRENTLY MOVING THROUGH
WA/OR IS FORECAST TO RIDE TOP OF BUILDING RIDGE AS IT RACES FROM
MN/IA INTO WI/IL DURING THE DAY. MESOSCALE AREA OF STRONG ASCENT
FROM WARM ADVECTION EXPECTED JUST NORTHEAST OF SURFACE LOW
SOMEWHERE FROM NORTHERN ILLINOIS TO CENTRAL WISCONSIN...DEPENDING
ON YOUR MODEL OF CHOICE.

TIMING NOT FAVORABLE FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
HOWEVER...IT APPEARS THAT A QUICK IN OR SO IS POSSIBLE ESPECIALLY
IN THE FAR WEST WHEN THE SNOW ARRIVES FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.
SO HAVE DECENT CHANCE OF SNOW IN THE MORNING WEST AND RAIN OR SNOW
IN THE AFTERNOON. RIGHT NOW GOING WITH LESS THAN HALF AN INCH
ACCUMULATION BUT WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON THIS.

WEDNESDAY-FORECAST CONFIDENCE HIGH

STRONG TROUGH EMERGING IN THE CENTRAL PLAINS IN THE VICINITY OF
KANSAS WILL START THE CYCLOGENESIS PROCESS SOME WHERE NEAR OK/TX
PANHANDLE WITH THE LOW SHOOTING EAST OVER NORTHERN OKLAHOMA BY THE
AFTERNOON. THERE IS AN OLD METEOROLOGIST SAYING THAT "WARM
ADVECTION WAITS FOR NO MAN." WELL...THE ECMWF AND NAM ARE A BIT
SLOWER TO SPREAD THE LEADING PRECIPITATION INTO WI...BUT GEMNH AND
ESPECIALLY GFS SUGGEST ARRIVAL BEFORE 00Z SO HAVE SLIGHT CHANCE IN
FAR SOUTHWEST.

LONG TERM...

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT-FORECAST CONFIDENCE HIGH

NOT MUCH CHANGE FROM YESTERDAY IN OVERALL SCENARIO. MOST OUTPUT IS
TIGHTLY CLUSTERED IN FAVORABLE HEAVY SNOW TRACK FROM ROUGHLY SGF-
STL-SBN-MBS. ECMWF CONTINUES TO BE ON SOUTHERN EDGE OF THIS
ENVELOPE...WHILE GFS AND GEMNH ARE ON THE NORTHERN EDGE OF THIS
TIGHT CLUSTER...TRACKING OVER CHICAGO. IN FACT...OPERATIONAL GFS
IS ON NORTHERN EDGE OF THE GFS ENSEMBLE...WHICH HAS ABOUT 10
MEMBERS TAKING A TRACK OVER SOUTH SIDE OF CHICAGO INTO NORTHWEST
INDIANA.

MEANWHILE THERE ARE OUTLIERS. THE NAM...SREF...AND A COUPLE
MEMBERS OF THE GFS ENSEMBLE DO TRACK LOW MUCH FARTHER NORTH ACROSS
EASTERN IOWA AND INTO SOUTHERN WISCONSIN...WITH A MUCH WARMER
SOLUTION AND MAINLY RAIN THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY WARNING AREA.

EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT TRUSTING THE NAM AS AN OUTLIER BEYOND 36
HOURS IS USUALLY A MISTAKE. AND THE EXTREMELY CONSISTENT NATURE OF
THE ECMWF THE PAST 3 DAYS ON THIS MORE SOUTHERN TRACK ADDS
CONFIDENCE TO THE SOLUTION BEING CLOSER TO AN AVERAGE OF THE GFS
AND ECMWF TRACKS.

BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THIS SYSTEM IS SHOWN TO HAVE A LOT OF MOISTURE
AND HEAVY QPF ON THE ORDER OF 1 TO 2". THE WARMER SOLUTIONS
SUGGEST THAT A MIXTURE OF RAIN AND SNOW WILL LIMIT ACCUMULATIONS
NEAR LAKE MICHIGAN AND ESPECIALLY FROM MILWAUKEE TO KENOSHA. AS
RAPID DEEPENING COLLAPSES THE THERMAL PROFILES THURSDAY...THERE
WILL BE A CHANGE OVER TO SNOW AT THE END OF THE EVENT IN THE
SOUTHEAST...RESULTING MOST LIKELY IN ADVISORY TYPE SNOWS.

PRESENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE SWATH OF HEAVIEST SNOW WILL
EXTEND FROM SOUTH CENTRAL INTO EAST CENTRAL WISCONSIN. ALL 00Z
MODELS INDICATE POTENTIAL FOR MORE THAN A FOOT OF SNOW...WITH
CONSENSUS INDICATING HEAVIEST SWATH FROM ROUGHLY MONROE TO MADISON
TO BEAVER DAM AND FOND DU LAC. GFS HAS 15" MAX CENTERED NEAR
COLUMBIA COUNTY.

CIPS ANALOGS CONTINUE TO SHOW MEAN SNOWFALL OF 4 TO 8" IN THIS
AREA BUT WITH 12+" PROBABILITIES RUNNING IN 30% RANGE. THEY ALSO
HAVE 60-70% PROBABILITY OF WIND GUSTS OVER 30 KNOTS...SO BLOWING
SNOW AND PERHAPS BLIZZARD CONDITIONS COULD RESULT ESPECIALLY IF
GEMNH AND ECMWF SOLUTIONS PAN OUT. MADE SURE TO BEEF UP THE WIND
GUSTS AND NOW HAVE GUSTS IN 30 TO 35 KNOT RANGE ON THURSDAY.

QEPV ON GFS SHOWS STRONG POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSNOW WITH THIS AND
EVEN HAS BAND OF NEGATIVE SHOWALTERS MOVING INTO SOUTHEAST
WISCONSIN. STRONG MID LEVEL DEEPENING INDICATES POTENTIAL FOR
NARROW BAND OF CONVECTIVE SNOWS THAT COULD AFFECT AREAS CLOSER TO
LAKE MICHIGAN LATE IN THE GAME.

FRIDAY-FORECAST CONFIDENCE HIGH

LOW PULLS AWAY AND BRISK AND COLD NORTHWEST FLOW SHOULD GRADUALLY
DIMINISH. TEMPERATURES WILL BE GREATLY IMPACTED BY SNOW COVER AND
WILL ASSUME THAT WE GET THE SNOW MOST AREAS AND LEAN TOWARD COLDER
SOLUTIONS.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY-FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM

COLD NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN SHOULD CONTINUE AS UPPER RIDGE BUILDS
INTO PLAINS AND POLAR HIGH SETTLES IN OVER CENTRAL CANADA. LOOKS
DRY AND SEASONABLY COLD.

AVIATION/12Z TAFS/...

LARGE STRATUS DECK RANGING FROM 600-1800 FEET
IS WIDESPREAD FROM THE NRN PLAINS TO THE GREAT LAKES. WILL BE GOING
WITH A PERSISTENCE FORECAST INTO THE AFTERNOON THEN BEGIN TO SCATTER
OUT STRATUS BUT WILL SEE AN INCREASE CLOUDS AROUND 5-7 KFT THIS
EVENING. NO PCPN IS FORECAST UNTIL SOME LIGHT SNOW FOR TUE AM AS LOW
PRESSURE TRACKS ACROSS THE REGION.
