AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
1019 AM CST SUN FEB 10 2013

.UPDATE...TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO WARM THIS MORNING. CALLS TO A
FEW COUNTIES INDICATE IMPROVING CONDITIONS IN THE SOUTH WHERE
TEMPERATURES ARE NOW ABOVE FREEZING. RELATIVELY MILDER AIR OFF OF
LAKE MICHIGAN HAS RESULTED IN ABOVE FREEZING TEMPS NEAR THE LAKE
AS WELL. HAVE THUS CANCELLED THE FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY FOR A FEW
COUNTIES SOUTH AND EAST. FARTHER NORTH AND WEST...STILL THINK
THERE MAY BE SOME FREEZING RAIN THROUGH LATE MORNING...SO KEPT THE
ADVISORY GOING. SHOULD SEE ALL RAIN WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA BY NOON...SO THE SET EXPIRATION TIME ON THE
ADVISORY STILL SEEMS REASONABLE.

LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN STILL EXPECTED LATE MORNING AND INTO THE
AFTERNOON...WINDING DOWN FROM THE SOUTHWEST LATE MORNING AND INTO
EARLY EVENING.

&&

.AVIATION/18Z TAFS/...TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO WARM THIS MORNING
FROM SOUTH TO NORTH...RESULTING IN A TRANSITION FROM FREEZING RAIN
TO RAIN. ADDITIONALLY...RELATIVELY MILDER AIR OFF OF LAKE
MICHIGAN HAS RESULTED IN ABOVE FREEZING TEMPS AND RAIN NEAR THE
LAKE AS WELL. FARTHER NORTH AND WEST THOUGH...STILL THINK THERE
MAY BE SOME FREEZING RAIN THROUGH LATE MORNING. SHOULD SEE ALL
RAIN WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA BY NOON.

CIGS AND VSBYS WILL LIKELY LOWER MORE AS WIDESPREAD LIGHT TO
MODERATE RAIN CONTINUES TO PUSH IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST. SHOULD
EVENTUALLY BE SOME IMPROVEMENT THIS EVENING...THOUGH MVFR CIGS
WILL LIKELY HANG AROUND INTO MONDAY. WILL LIKELY SEE SOME LIGHT
SNOW OR FLURRIES LATER TONIGHT AND MONDAY AS COLDER AIR FILTERS
INTO THE AREA. NOT EXPECTING MORE THAN A DUSTING TO A COUPLE
TENTHS OF AN INCH OF ACCUMULATION...WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS
NORTH OF A LONE ROCK TO MILWAUKEE LINE.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 330 AM CST SUN FEB 10 2013/

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

A STRONG MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL REACH CENTRAL NEBRASKA BY
SUNRISE. 250 MB DIVERGENCE INCREASES ACROSS IOWA...THEN INCREASES
EVEN MORE ACROSS SOUTHERN WISCONSIN THIS MORNING WITH A STRONG
DIFFLUENT FLOW ACROSS WISCONSIN. 850/700 MB WARM AIR ADVECTION
INCREASES THROUGH THE MORNING...WITH 850 TEMPS ABOVE
FREEZING...REACHING 5 CELSIUS IN THE FAR SOUTHWEST BY NOON.
850/700 MB MOISTURE CONVERGENCE IS RATER STRONG AT 15 G/KG/12
HOURS. THIS WILL RESULT IN A FAST MOVING BAND OF PRECIPITATION
OVERSPREADING SOUTHERN WISCONSIN THIS MORNING.

WITH SFC TEMPS BELOW FREEZING...EXPECTING THE PRECIPITATION TO
BEGIN AS FREEZING RAIN. HAVE CONTINUED THE FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY
FOR THIS MORNING. THINK MOST PLACES WILL SEE A RELATIVELY SHORT
PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN...FROM 2 TO UP TO 4 HOURS. RELATIVELY
MILDER AIR COMING OFF THE LAKE SHOULD RESULT IN A MUCH SHORTER
WINDOW FOR FREEZING RAIN.

NAM SOUNDINGS FOR SHEBOYGAN ACTUALLY SHOW PRECIP WOULD START AS
RAIN...WITH SFC TEMPS JUST ABOVE FREEZING. MENTIONED MORE RAIN
LIKELY THAN FREEZING RAIN FROM MID MORNING TO NOON NEAR THE LAKE
DUE THIS POSSIBILITY. OVERALL...THINKING UP TO A TENTH OF AN INCH
OF ICE POSSIBLE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA...WITH THE HIGHEST
AMOUNTS SOUTHWEST OF A WISCONSIN DELLS TO MILWAUKEE LINE.

WITH THE INCREASING DEWPOINTS KEPT AREAS OF FOG GOING WITH SNOW
ON THE GROUND AND NEAR SATURATED LOW LEVELS.

A RATHER PRONOUNCED MID LEVEL DRY SLOW WILL PUSH ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THEN COLD
ADVECTION BEGINS LATER THIS AFTERNOON FROM THE WEST BEHIND THE
OCCLUDED/COLD FRONT.

STRONG MID LEVEL COLD AIR ADVECTION ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE MID
LEVEL LOW WILL RESULT IN LIGHT SNOW LATER TONIGHT SPREADING IN
FROM THE WEST.

MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM TO
HIGH.

SHORT TERM MODELS SHOWING 500MB LOW OVER FAR NORTHERN WISCONSIN
AND THE WESTERN UPPER PENINSULA OF MICHIGAN AT 12Z MONDAY. THIS
FEATURE SLIDES EAST NORTHEAST OF LAKE HURON BY 00Z TUESDAY. THEY
ALL SHOW A VORTICITY MAXIMUM AT THAT LEVEL SLIDING EAST INTO THE
AREA MONDAY MORNING...EXITING DURING THE AFTERNOON. WESTERLY FLOW
AT 500MB THEN REMAINS MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY...WITH A WEAK
SHORTWAVE TROUGH MOVING SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT.

AT THE SURFACE...LOW PRESSURE...WITH TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER
THE AREA...IS SHOWN TO FOLLOW THE 500MB LOW PATH ON MONDAY. THESE
FEATURES ARE NEARLY VERTICALLY STACKED DURING THIS TIME. THE LOW
MOVES FURTHER AWAY FROM THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT...WITH WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE SLIDING TO THE SOUTH OF THE AREA TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY
NIGHT.

LIGHT QPF IS SEEN OVER THE AREA ON MONDAY WITH SHORT TERM MODELS.
AREA FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOWING GOOD SATURATION IN THE DENDRITE
ZONE...WHICH IS LOCATED FROM THE SURFACE UP TO AROUND 4000 FEET.
BEST UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION IS MORE IN THE MID LEVELS WITH THE
PASSING 500MB VORTICITY MAXIMUM. NAM ALSO SHOWING SOME LOW LEVEL
INSTABILITY MONDAY...WHICH THE GFS DOES NOT.

WILL CONTINUE TREND OF HIGH POPS FOR LIGHT SNOW IN THE NORTHERN
COUNTIES ON MONDAY...WITH LOWER POPS TO THE SOUTH. LIGHT SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS UNDER AN INCH ARE EXPECTED...GIVEN LIGHT QPF WITH
MODEST SNOW TO LIQUID RATIOS. GUSTY WINDS OF 30 TO 35 KNOTS ARE
POSSIBLE TO MIX DOWN MONDAY...BUT DO NOT THINK THEY WILL REACH
WIND ADVISORY LEVELS GIVEN THE CLOUDS OVER THE AREA.

TRENDED DOWN POPS MONDAY NIGHT...AS BEST UPWARD MOTION SHIFTS EAST
OF THE AREA. NAM FORECAST SOUNDINGS HOLD ONTO LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
VERSUS DRIER GFS...SO WENT WITH BLEND OF EACH. NEAR NORMAL
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. CONTINUED QUIET
WEATHER TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH MILDER TEMPERATURES
WITHIN WEAK WARM AIR ADVECTION.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM.

ECMWF/GFS ARE IN BETTER AGREEMENT WITH TIMING OF ALBERTA CLIPPER
LIKE SYSTEM FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY. GFS CONTINUES TO BE
STRONGER WITH THE SURFACE LOW AND 500MB VORTICITY MAXIMUM THROUGH
THE AREA THURSDAY. GFS ALSO SHOWS TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT WITH
BRISK NORTHWEST WINDS AND COLD AIR ADVECTION THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.
FOR NOW...WENT WITH CONSENSUS POPS FOR THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY.

HIGH PRESSURE THEN TRIES TO BUILD INTO THE REGION FRIDAY NIGHT
AND SATURDAY ON THE GFS...WITH THE ECMWF BRINGING ANOTHER
SHORTWAVE TROUGH SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE AREA. WILL CONTINUE TO USE
CONSENSUS POPS FOR THIS PERIOD. TEMPERATURES APPEAR TO BE
MODERATING THROUGH THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK.

AVIATION/12Z TAFS/...

STRONG LOW PRESSURE WILL EXIT EASTERN NEBRASKA AND REACH
SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA THIS EVENING.

BRIEF CLEARING HAS RESULTED IN PATCHY IFR/LIFR FOG. HOWEVER
MID/HIGH CLOUDS WILL RAPIDLY INCREASE BEFORE SUNRISE REDUCING THE
FOG POTENTIAL.

PRECIPITATION WILL MOVE IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST THIS MORNING.
EXPECTING A PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND
SOUTHWEST OF A WISCONSIN DELLS TO MILWAUKEE LINE WHERE
TEMPERATURES WILL BE COLDER WHEN THE RAIN INITIALLY ARRIVES.

MAY CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR A SHORT WHILE...THOUGH TEMPERATURES WILL
WARM THROUGH THE DAY...WITH ALL RAIN EXPECTED BY LATE MORNING OR
EARLY AFTERNOON. WINDS OFF LAKE MICHIGAN WILL REDUCE THE FREEZING
RAIN POTENTIAL IN THE FAR EAST.

CIGS AND VSBYS WILL LOWER TO IFR/LIFR CONDITIONS BY LATE MORNING.
THEN BEHIND A COLD/OCCLUDED FRONT CIGS WILL RISE TO MVFR/IFR
CONDITIONS. SOME LIGHT SNOW THEN EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT. MAINLY
MVFR VSBYS IN THE LIGHT SNOW.

MARINE...

STRONG LOW PRESSURE WILL EXIT EASTERN NEBRASKA AND REACH
SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA THIS EVENING...THEN INTO FAR NORTHEAST
WISCONSIN LATE TONIGHT.

SOUTHEAST WINDS WILL INCREASE TODAY...WITH HIGHER GUSTS DEVELOPING
FOR THIS EVENING THROUGH MONDAY. WINDS WILL BE PRETTY STRONG ALOFT
TOMORROW...BUT THINK THE LOW LEVEL INVERSION WILL KEEP THE HIGHEST
WINDS FROM REACHING THE SURFACE. COLDER AIR MONDAY THOUGH WILL
RESULT IN BETTER MIXING THOUGH...WITH GUSTS TO GALE FORCE
EXPECTED.
