AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
345 PM CDT THU APR 3 2014

.TONIGHT...CONFIDENCE - MEDIUM.

WIDESPREAD SHOWERS WITH SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DEVELOP OVER
NORTHEAST IOWA EARLY THIS EVENING AND SPREAD INTO SOUTH CENTRAL WI
AND SOUTHEAST WI LATER THIS EVENING. THIS WILL OCCUR AS A STRONG
SOUTHWESTERLY LOW LEVEL JET PUSHES INTO SOUTHERN WI AND STRONG
VORTICITY ADVECTION FROM THE UPPER LOW TAKING ON A SLIGHT NEGATIVE
TILT OVER IOWA ARRIVES.

THERE IS STILL A POSSIBILITY FOR FREEZING RAIN OVER THE FAR NORTHERN
FORECAST AREA...NORTH OF A LINE FROM SHEBOYGAN TO FOND DU LAC TO
GREEN LAKE TO MONTELLO. THIS WOULD BE DURING THE EARLY PART OF THE
PRECIP DEVELOPING IN THE EVENING AND LIKELY CHANGE OVER TO RAIN
FAIRLY QUICKLY. OVERALL...SURFACE TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING...BUT CANNOT RULE OUT A FEW POCKETS OF JUST
BELOW FREEZING IN THE EVENING. THEREFORE...NO HEADLINES EXPECTED FOR
TONIGHT AND WE ISSUED A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT TO HANDLE ANY
BRIEF PERIODS OF MIXED PRECIPITATION.

FRIDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM.

WE ARE EXPECTING A LULL IN THE WINDS AND PRECIP OVER SOUTHERN WI AS
THE SURFACE LOW TRACKS OVERHEAD EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. MODELS ARE IN
FAIR AGREEMENT OF ITS LOCATION OVER SOUTH CENTRAL WI AT 7 AM /12Z/
FRI MORNING. MID LEVELS DRY OUT DURING THIS TIME WITH THE DRY SLOT
AND DRIZZLE AND FOG WILL BECOME LIKELY. SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL
KICK IN BY MID FRIDAY MORNING OVER SOUTHERN WI AS THE SURFACE AND
UPPER LOWS OF THIS OCCLUDING SYSTEM LIFT NORTHEAST.

COLD AIR ADVECTION ON GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS WILL ARRIVE SHORTLY
AFTER...DURING 3-HR PRESSURE FALLS OF 3 TO 5 MB. HIGHEST WIND SPEEDS
WILL BE 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS IN THE 40 TO 45 MPH RANGE. AT THIS
TIME...FORECAST WINDS FALL JUST UNDER THE WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA BUT
WE WILL CONTINUE TO EVALUATE.

RAIN SHOWERS WILL BE LIKELY WITH THE GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS IN THE
WRAP-AROUND REGION OF THE DEPARTING LOW DUE TO STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE
RATES. EXPECT SHOWERS TO TAPER OFF FROM SOUTH TO NORTH THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. THESE RAIN SHOWERS WILL GRADUALLY CHANGE OVER TO SNOW
SHOWERS TOWARD LATE AFTERNOON AS COLDER AIR WRAPS IN BEHIND THE LOW.

.FRIDAY NIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE - MEDIUM.

SOME LINGERING WEAK MID-LEVEL DEFORMATION AND ISENTROPIC OMEGA INTO
EARLY FRIDAY EVENING SO WILL CONTINUE SMALL CHANCE FOR -SN.  MIXED
PRECIP. SHOULD HAVE CHANGED TO ALL -SN BY THIS TIME.  LAYER Q-VECTOR
CONVERGENCE WELL TO THE NORTH AND EAST BY 00Z/05 SO NOT EXPECING
ACCUMULATION OVER A COUPLE TENTHS OF AN INCH. WEAK LIFT PUSHES OFF
TO THE EAST DURING THE LATE EVENING...WITH DRYING COLUMN AND
CLEARING SKIES EXPECTED OVERNIGHT.

.SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE - HIGH.

SFC HIGH PRESSURE AND MID-LEVEL RIDGING PASSES SLOWLY ACROSS
SOUTHERN WISCONSIN DURING THIS PERIOD. WILL LIKELY EXPECIENCE AN
INCREASE IN CLOUDINESS SATURDAY NIGHT FROM SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT
UPSTREAM OVER IA/MN DUE TO APPROACHING WEAK LOW PRESSURE TROUGH.
MAYBE SOME -SHRA UPSTREAM OVER THIS AREA AS WELL WHILE AIRMASS OVER
SOUTHERN WI REMAINS DRY.

.SUNDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE - MEDIUM.

WEAK LOW PRESSURE TROUGH CONTINUES TO PUSH EAST INTO WI BUT FURTHER
WEAKENS AS IT ENCOUNTERS INCREASING SHORT WAVE RIDGING NORTH OF
AMPLYING LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTHERN PLAINS.  FEW -SHRA MAY SPREAD
INTO WRN PORTIONS OF CWA...BUT EXPECTING DRY CONDITIONS MOST OF THE
DAY.  TEMPS SHOULD REMAIN MORE SEASONAL AS WELL.

.EXTENDED PERIOD...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE
- MEDIUM.

OUTLOOK FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK DOMINATED BY YET ANOTHER STRENGTHENING
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT WILL BE MOVING FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
INTO THE OH VALLEY AND EASTERN GTLAKES.  MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE IN
REASONABLE AGREEMENT ON LOW PRESSURE AND ITS PRECIP SHIELD REMAINING
SOUTH OF SOUTHERN WI MON AND MON NGT.  ECMWF HAS BEEN THE FARTHEST
NORTH WITH ITS SOLUTION MOVING SFC LOW OVER SOUTHEAST LOWER MI.  WPC
SHOWING MORE CONFIDENCE IN A BLEND OF THE ECMWF/GFS AND ECWMF
ENSEMBLE IN THE SOUTHERN SOLUTION...SO FOR NOW WL KEEP POPS ON THE
LOW SIDE FROM SUN NGT INTO MON NGT.

SEVERAL WEAK SHORT WAVES IN INCREASING NORTHWEST FLOW MONDAY NIGHT
THROUGH TUESDAY MAY BRING SOME LIGHT MIXED PRECIP TO THE AREA.
SLIGHTLY COLDER AIR SETTLES INTO THE REGION ON TUESDAY...HOWEVER
APPEARS IT WILL BE SHORT-LIVED AS WARMER AIR IS EXPECTED TO RETURN
ON THURSDAY. 925H TEMPS AROUND ZERO ON WED WARM TO 8 TO 10C.

GFS 5 DAY 500H MEANS SHOW MORE ZONAL FLOW SETTING UP BY THE END OF
NEXT WEEK OVER NORTH CENTRAL AND WESTERN CONUS WITH SLIGHTLY ABOVE
NORMAL HEIGHT ANOMOLY...CONTINUING INTO THE WEEKEND.  HENCE COULD BE
OUR FIRST PERIOD OF EXTENDED SEASONAL TO MILD CONDITIONS.

&&

.AVIATION/00Z TAFS/...BRISK AND GUSTY EASTERLY WINDS WILL GRADUALLY
DIMINISH TONIGHT AS THE CENTER OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES INTO SOUTH
CENTRAL WI AROUND 7 AM FRIDAY MORNING. WIDESPREAD SHOWERS WITH SCT
TSTORMS ARE LIKELY LATE THIS EVENING. THEN CIGS OF 400-900 FEET AND
VSBYS OF 3-5SM ARE EXPECTED...ALTHOUGH LOWER VSBYS OF 1-2SM ARE
POSSIBLE AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY IN THE EARLY MORNING WHEN PRIMARILY
DRIZZLE IS EXPECTED AS THE LOW MOVES OVERHEAD.

WINDS WILL INCREASE OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST BY MID FRIDAY
MORNING...THEN SWITCH OVER TO THE WEST-NORTHWEST AS THE COLDER AIR
MOVES IN AND THE LOW LIFTS NORTHEAST. GUSTY WNW WINDS WILL PERSIST
UNTIL EARLY EVENING. SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS WITH THE GUSTY NORTHWEST
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO CHANGE INTO SNOW SHOWERS LATER IN THE DAY
THROUGH THE EVENING. ONLY MINOR ACCUMULATION EXPECTED.

SOUTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN BY FRIDAY MORNING. EASTERLY WINDS AND HIGH
WAVES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT. THEN INCREASING
SOUTHWEST WINDS FRIDAY MORNING WILL BECOME GUSTY OUT THE NORTHWEST
AS THE SURFACE LOW TRACKS NORTHEAST INTO NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN
