AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
339 PM CDT FRI OCT 2 2015

.SHORT TERM...

TONIGHT AND SATURDAY... FORECAST CONFIDENCE HIGH.

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN STATIONED OVER WESTERN QUEBEC WITH
THE RIDGE EXTENDING SOUTHWEST ACROSS WI AND MN. THE UPPER LEVEL
CLOSED LOW OVER THE SOUTHWEST U.S. WILL RETROGRADE SLIGHTLY AND A
SHORTWAVE WILL TREK WESTWARD ACROSS SOUTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN AND
SOUTHEAST WI OVERNIGHT. THIS SHORTWAVE WILL GIVE LOW LEVEL PRESSURE
GRADIENT A LITTLE BOOST AND CAUSE WINDS TO INCREASE EVEN MORE.
INLAND AREAS WILL PROBABLY HAVE A FEW HIGHER GUSTS BUT THE NOCTURNAL
INVERSION WILL DOMINATE. SHORELINE AREAS WILL FEEL THE HIGHER
WINDS AND GUSTS OVERNIGHT. I ISSUED A GALE WARNING FROM THE NORTH
POINT LIGHT NEARSHORE AREA AND SOUTH.

CLOUDS HUNG AROUND THE SHORELINE COUNTIES MOST OF THE DAY. EXPECT
LOW CLOUDS AGAIN LATE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY DUE TO THE SHORTWAVE AND
ALSO THE COOL AIR BLOWING OVER THE RELATIVELY WARM LAKE. EXPECT
WINDS AND CLOUDS TO SUBSIDE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES ON
SATURDAY SHOULD BE SIMILAR TO TODAY.

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM.

A LARGE SFC HIGH WILL REMAIN OVER QUEBEC CANADA THROUGH SUNDAY
WHILE THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE LARGE UPPER TROUGH OVER THE DEEP
SOUTH WILL SHIFT WWD INTO SRN WI SAT NT AND SUN. IN THE LOWER
LEVELS...A SUBTLE INVERTED TROUGH WILL ACCOMPANY THE UPPER TROUGH.
THIS WILL BRING THE WIDESPREAD STRATUS THAT IS CURRENTLY SOUTH OF
THE OHIO RIVER INTO SRN WI STARTING LATE SAT NT AND EXPANDING ON
SUN. THUS INCLUDED LOW POPS FOR LIGHT SHOWERS OR DRIZZE. THE
SFC-850 MB FLOW REMAINS VERY WEAK FOR SUN NT AND MON WITH HIGH
PRESSURE SETTLING OVER THE AREA. THE STRATUS CLOUDS COULD
CERTAINLY LINGER WELL INTO MONDAY. THUS KEPT HIGH TEMPS DOWN FOR
SUN AND MON BUT WITH MILDER LOW TEMPS.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM.

A WNWLY FLOW ALOFT WILL PREVAIL ACROSS THE NRN CONUS FOR THE WEEK.
SFC HIGH PRESSURE ON TUE WILL GIVE WAY TO A WEAK CANADIAN COLD
FRONT WITH ANOTHER HIGH TO FOLLOW FOR WED. A SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL
THEN MOVE FROM THE NRN PLAINS TO WI BY THU. THE ASSOCIATED LOW
PRESSURE AREA AND GOOD CHANCES OF RAIN WILL MOVE ACROSS THE
REGION. THE LOW AND CHANCES OF RAIN MAY LINGER INTO FRI. TEMPS
WILL BE NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION/00Z TAFS/...

GUSTY WINDS WILL DIMINISH INLAND WITH LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR
DEVELOPING FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. WINDS JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE
WILL BE 25 TO 35 KNOTS. LOOK FOR WINDS TO BECOME GUSTY ONCE AGAIN
DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS ON SATURDAY.

FOR THE AIRPORTS CLOSER TO LAKE MICHIGAN... EXPECT SOME INTERMITTENT
MIXING OVERNIGHT BUT KEPT LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR MENTIONED IN THE TAF.

A PERIOD OF MVFR CIGS ARE POSSIBLE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING.

&&

.MARINE...

LOW PRESSURE STRENGTHENING OVER THE EASTERN STATES WILL LEAD TO A
SLIGHT UPTICK IN THE PRESSURE GRADIENT AND THEREFORE WINDS OVER
SOUTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN TONIGHT. THEREFORE... UPGRADED TO A GALE
WARNING FROM 7 PM TONIGHT THROUGH 10 AM SATURDAY FOR NORTH POINT
LIGHT AND SOUTH.

OTHERWISE... PERSISTENT BRISK NORTHEAST TO EAST WINDS GUSTING TO 30
KNOTS WILL KEEP WAVES HIGH THROUGH TONIGHT AND SATURDAY.  THE
GRADIENT CONTINUES INTO THE WEEKEND FOR A SUSTAINED PERIOD OF SMALL
CRAFT CONDITIONS INTO SUNDAY MORNING.

&&
