AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
339 PM CST MON DEC 23 2013

UPDATED SOME INFORMATION IN TONIGHT PORTION OF DISCUSSION

.TONIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM.

MAIN ISSUES WILL BE ENDING THE LIGHT SNOW...SUBSEQUENT CLEARING...
FRIGID TEMPS AND POTENTIAL WIND CHILL ISSUES. WITH LIGHT SNOW
PIVOTING NORTHEAST AROUND CIRCULATION NEAR KARX...EXPECT THE
STEADIEST SNOW INTO THE EVENING TO BE ACROSS THE NE 1/2 OF THE CWA.
THE CIRCULATION DOES DRIFT ESE WITH TIME SO SOME AREAS THAT CLEARED
OUT IN SW CWA MAY STILL SEE SOME CLOUDS/FLURRIES THIS EVENING.

ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO LOW TEMPS. 925 TEMPS DROP TO -14 TO -16C.
TEMPS ALREADY DROPPING OFF QUITE QUICKLY IN THE SW CWA. RIDGE AXIS
DRAWS CLOSER AND 925 MB WINDS REALLY DROP OFF ESPECIALLY IN THE
WESTERN CWA. SO WILL DROP TEMPS A BIT FURTHER. WITH UPPER TROUGH
AXIS SHIFTING EAST OF THE CWA AFTER 06Z...POTENTIAL FOR REST OF CWA
TO CLEAR OUT AS WELL. 925/850 MB RH PROGS ARE SHOWING A DECREASING
TREND IN THIS REGARD...SO NO REAL REASON NOT TO EXPECT A DECENT TEMP
DROPOFF CWA WIDE.

WIND CHILL GETS TO NEAR -20 IN THE SOUTHWEST CWA LATE IN THE NIGHT
THOUGH TEMPORAL AND AREAL EXTENT NOT GREAT...SO AFTER COLLAB WITH
KARX WILL HOLD OFF ON ADVISORY THERE...BUT CWA WIDE WIND CHILLS TO
EVENTUALLY DROP INTO THAT BITTER -10 TO 20 RANGE.

.TUESDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM.

AFTER A FRIGID START...SURFACE/850 RIDGE AXES SHIFT EAST OF WI. 850
MB WARM ADVECTION BEGINS IN THE AFTERNOON. BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SHOW
SOME MOISTURE AOA 10K FEET ARRIVING INTO THE WESTERN CWA DURING THE
AFTERNOON. 925 MB TEMPS REBOUND TO -11 OR -12C...HOWEVER EXPECT A
MIXING OUT TO LOWER THAN THAT SO GOING WITH ONLY TEENS FOR HIGHS.

.SHORT TERM...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE
IS HIGH.

SHORT TERM MODELS ARE STILL IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH LIGHT SNOW
MOVING THROUGH THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT...LINGERING THROUGH
CHRISTMAS DAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. BEST SHOT WILL BE TUESDAY
NIGHT...AS 500 MB SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND WARM AIR ADVECTION MOVE
THROUGH THE AREA. MODERATE TO STRONG UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION SEEN
WITH DEEP LAYER Q VECTOR CONVERGENCE. THIS OCCURS WITHIN SATURATED
AIR COLUMN TAPPING DENDRITE SNOW GROWTH ZONE.

HIGH POPS CONTINUE FOR TUESDAY NIGHT. HIGH SNOW TO LIQUID RATIOS
OF 17/19 TO 1 GIVES AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 3 INCHES ACROSS THE AREA
TUESDAY NIGHT. WINDS INCREASING DURING THIS TIME MAY LEAD TO
DRIFTING ON EAST TO WEST ROADS. NO ADVISORY WAS ISSUED...BUT MAY
NEED TO BE CONSIDERED IF SNOW AMOUNTS INCREASE IN LATER FORECASTS.

KEPT POPS GOING FOR CHRISTMAS DAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...AS MODELS
BRING ANOTHER 500MB SHORTWAVE TROUGH THROUGH THE REGION. NAM IS A
BIT SLOWER THAN THE GFS/ECMWF/CANADIAN WITH THE SHORTWAVE PASSAGE.
MOISTURE IS MODEST THROUGH THE AIR COLUMN...BUT ENOUGH TO LEAVE
POPS GOING. MAY SEE ANOTHER 1/2 TO 1 INCH DURING THIS PERIOD. COLD
TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

LEFT THURSDAY DRY FOR NOW...AS HIGH AXIS SLIDES TO THE EAST. MORE
500 MB SHORTWAVES APPROACH THE AREA IN THE AFTERNOON...BUT
FORECAST SOUNDINGS ARE SLOW TO SATURATE. COLD TEMPERATURES WILL
CONTINUE.

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE
IS MEDIUM.

SEVERAL 500 MB VORTICITY MAXIMA CONTINUE TO SHIFT SOUTHEAST
THROUGH THE AREA PER ECWMF AND GFS MODELS. AIRMASS SEEMS FAIRLY
DRY THROUGH SATURDAY...SO KEPT FORECAST DRY PER CONSENSUS BLEND OF
POPS. KEPT POPS IN LATER ON...AS MORE MOISTURE MOVES INTO THE
AREA. MAINTAINED CONSENSUS BLEND OF TEMPERATURES DURING THE LONG
TERM PERIOD...WHICH KEEPS THE AREA COLD.

.AVIATION/00Z TAFS/...

NW-SE ORIENTED MVFR SNOW AREA ASSOCIATED WITH LOW LEVEL TROUGH
AND UPPER CYCLONIC FLOW. A FEW IFR VSBYS IN THIS BAND. RADAR
ANIMATION SHOWS CIRCULATION CENTER NEAR KLSE. BAND OF SNOW
PIVOTING AROUND THIS FEATURE. EXPECT SNOW TO PERSIST MAINLY IN THE
NE 1/2 OF CWA THIS EVENING BUT WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON ANY DEF
ZONE PCPN DROPPING SOUTHEAST FROM NEAR KLSE.

DRYING THEN WORKS IN AS THE NIGHT WEARS ON. HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE
ACROSS THE CWA AT 18Z TUESDAY...SHIFTING INTO THE OH VLY BY 00Z.
SOUTHERLY WIND FLOW SETS UP THOUGH PRECIP ASSOCIATED WITH NEXT
DISTURBANCE HOLDS OFF UNTIL TUESDAY NIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...

GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN UP TUESDAY NIGHT AHEAD OF NEXT LOW
PRESSURE. WINDS TURN WESTERLY AND REMAIN GUSTY CHRISTMAS DAY AND
REMAIN SO INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SMALL CRAFT GUSTS EXPECTED WITH
