AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
500 AM CDT THU APR 18 2013

.SHORT TERM...

TODAY AND TONIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM

BEST ELEVATED INSTABILITY AND HEAVIEST RAINFALL HAS STAYED OVER IL
DURING THE OVERNIGHT AND EXPECT THIS SCENARIO TO CONTINUE AS THE
50-60 KT LLJ LIFTS NEWD FROM IL INTO MI. THE INVERTED TROUGH OVER
ERN IA AND WRN WI WILL SHIFT EAST ACROSS SRN WI THIS AM AND THEN
ANOTHER ROUND OF CYCLOGENESIS OVER NRN IL OR SRN WI AS THE UPPER
TROUGH APPROACHES FROM THE PLAINS. THE LOW WILL DEEPEN THE MOST
AFTER IT LIFTS TO THE NE TOWARD THE NRN GREAT LAKES. A LARGE DRY
SLOT WILL THEN FOLLOW FOR TNT WITH LITTLE ADDITIONAL PCPN. THE UPPER
TROUGH AXIS WILL THEN APPROACH THE WRN CWA BY FRI AM WITH INCREASED
SATURATION AND BETTER CHANCES OF LIGHT SNOW.

ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS FOR TODAY WILL RANGE FROM 0.40 INCHES IN
THE FAR NW CWA TO JUST UNDER AN INCH IN SE WI. OVERALL THE NRN CWA
HAS ESCAPED THE HEAVY RAINS...SO ANY RIVERS THAT HAVE THEIR
HEADWATERS IN THIS AREA WILL NOT FLOOD AS BADLY AS FIRST THOUGHT.
NEW RIVER FORECASTS THAT INCLUDE THE LESSER RAIN TOTALS WILL BE
ISSUED LATER THIS MORNING.

FRIDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM TO HIGH.

SURFACE LOW PRESSURE CENTERED OVER CENTRAL UPPER MICHIGAN WILL
GRADUALLY SHIFT INTO EASTERN ONTARIO LATE IN THE DAY. THE SLOW
MOVEMENT IS IN RESPONSE TO THE UPPER LOW CLOSING OFF AND BECOMING
NEGATIVELY TILTED OVER LAKE SUPERIOR...AND THE SURFACE LOW
OCCLUDING. COLD AIR WILL SLOWLY MOVE INTO SOUTHERN WI ON THE BACK
SIDE OF THIS SYSTEM.

THE PRECIP SHIELD WITHIN THE DEFORMATION ZONE WILL BE QUITE
EXPANSIVE. MODELS SHOW STRONG 700-300MB Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE OVER
MUCH OF WI FRIDAY MORNING...ALONG WITH STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES
AND CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT. FORECAST TEMPERATURE PROFILES SHOW A
SHALLOW LAYER RIGHT AROUND FREEZING AT THE GROUND...BUT BELOW
FREEZING TEMPS JUST ABOVE ON FRIDAY MORNING. THE NAM IS COLDER THAN
THE GFS AND ECMWF. MOISTURE WILL BE SHALLOW...SO IT IS POSSIBLE THAT
WE SEE DRIZZLE INSTEAD OF RAIN OR SNOW FOR SOME OF THE TIME. ONLY A
LIGHT DUSTING OF SNOW AT BEST FOR THE WEST HALF OF THE FORECAST
AREA.

BY MIDDAY FRIDAY...SURFACE TEMPS WILL BE ABOVE FREEZING...AND ANY
MIXED PRECIP WILL TRANSITION BACK TO RAIN. IT WILL BE A CHILLY DAY
WITH HIGHS ONLY IN THE UPPER 30S AND LOWER 40S.

ANOTHER CONCERN FOR FRIDAY WILL BE THE GUSTY WEST WINDS DUE TO THE
TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT OVERHEAD. GUSTS UP TO 35 MPH WILL BE LIKELY
WITH EFFICIENT MIXING OF HIGHER WINDS AT AROUND 5000 FEET DOWN TO
THE SURFACE. SUSTAINED WINDS UP TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS OVER 35 MPH ARE
LIKELY. EXPECTING WINDS TO REMAIN BELOW WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA...BUT
IT WILL BE CLOSE.

PRECIP CHANCES TAPER OFF SIGNIFICANTLY EARLY FRIDAY EVENING WITH
LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING/INSTABILITY...AS DRY AIR AND HIGH PRESSURE
MOVE INTO THE REGION.

.LONG TERM...

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM TO HIGH.

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE AND UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL DRIFT OVERHEAD ON
SATURDAY...BRINGING LIGHT WINDS AND SUNSHINE. A LAKE BREEZE IS
EXPECTED BY EARLY SATURDAY AFTERNOON. MAX TEMPS WILL ONLY REACH THE
MID 40S NEAR THE LAKE...BUT UPPER 40S WELL INLAND.

CLOUDS WILL BEGIN TO MOVE IN SAT NIGHT AND OVERSPREAD THE AREA ON
SUNDAY AS LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE PLAINS. ISENTROPIC LIFT
AND WEAK WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL BRING LIGHT RAIN CHANCES TO SOUTH
CENTRAL WI ON SUNDAY. BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIP WILL BE INLAND FROM THE
LAKE SINCE THERE WILL BE QUITE A BIT OF DRY AIR ON EASTERLY WINDS
EATING AWAY AT IT.

GFS SHOWS PRECIP CHANCES FOR SOUTHERN WI SUN NIGHT/MON MORNING WHILE
THE ECMWF IS DRY.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM.

AN UPPER TROUGH WILL DEVELOP AND BECOME MORE AMPLIFIED DURING THE
FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK OVER THE CENTRAL US. SEVERAL SHORTWAVES WILL
MOVE THROUGH WI AHEAD OF THIS UPPER TROUGH AND BRING MORE ROUNDS OF
RAIN TO THE REGION. THE BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN LOOKS LIKE MONDAY NIGHT
THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. RAIN MAY TRANSITION TO SNOW BY TUE NIGHT.
IT ONLY LOOKS LIKE MINOR SNOW AMOUNTS AT THIS TIME.

&&

.AVIATION/12Z TAFS/...ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
WILL CONTINUE TODAY AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. IFR
CIGS OR LESS WILL PREVAIL WITH VSBYS MAINLY RANGING FROM 2-5 MILES.
SWLY WINDS AND A DRY SLOT WILL REDUCE THE CHANCES FOR RAIN AND
IMPROVE THE VSBYS. CIGS WILL SLOWLY RISE TO 1.0-2.0 KFT.

&&

.MARINE...A GALE WATCH IS IN EFFECT LATE TONIGHT AND FRIDAY AS
SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS INCREASE DUE TO STRONG LOW PRESSURE OVER THE
NORTHERN GREAT LAKES. WEST WINDS UP TO 20 TO 25 KNOTS AND GUSTS TO
35 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED. HIGH WAVES WILL OCCUR TOWARD THE OPEN WATERS
OF LAKE MI.
