AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
1224 PM CST MON NOV 16 2015

.UPDATE...

BUMPED POPS UP A BIT SOUTHWEST THIS AFTERNOON GIVEN UPSTREAM
SHOWERS. TEMPS HAVE LIKELY PEAKED AT THIS POINT...WITH CLOUDS
CONTINUING TO STREAM IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST.

&&

.AVIATION/18Z TAFS/...

VFR CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST INTO MID-AFTERNOON...WITH MVFR CIGS
MOVING INTO THE SOUTHWEST MID/LATE AFTERNOON. THE LOWER CLOUDS
WILL SPREAD NORTHEASTWARD THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...WITH MOST
PLACES LIKELY IFR BY TUESDAY MORNING. LOW CIGS WILL THEN HANG
AROUND THROUGH THE DAY TUESDAY AS LOW PRESSURE APPROACHES FROM THE
SOUTHWEST.

BEST CHANCE FOR SHOWERS THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE ACROSS THE
SOUTHWEST HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA. SHOWER COVERAGE WILL LIKELY
DECREASE INTO THE EVENING...WITH A ROUND OF WIDESPREAD SHOWERS
ARRIVING FROM THE SOUTHWEST LATER TONIGHT. THESE SHOWERS WILL
SPREAD THROUGH SOUTHERN WISCONSIN TUESDAY MORNING...PERSISTING
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. A RUMBLE OR TWO OF THUNDER IS NOT OUT
OF THE QUESTION TOMORROW...MAINLY IN THE AFTERNOON.

A 60 KNOTS LOW LEVEL JET WILL MOVE OVERHEAD TUESDAY...WITH GUSTY
WINDS EXPECTED. CLOUDS AND PRECIP SHOULD LIMIT MIXING
THOUGH...LIKELY CAPPING THE HIGHER END GUSTS TO AROUND 30 KNOTS.
SHOULD BE JUST ENOUGH WIND AT THE SURFACE DURING THE DAY TO KEEP
MENTION OF LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR OUT OF TAFS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 333 AM CST MON NOV 16 2015/

SHORT TERM...

TODAY AND TONIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM.

INCREASING SOUTH WINDS AHEAD OF UPSTREAM AMPLIFYING LONG WAVE TROF
WILL PULL INCREASING DEEPER COLUMN MOISTURE NORTHWARD FROM THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS.  COLUMN PWAT NEARLY DOUBLES
IN NEXT 24 HOURS TO AROUND 1.25 INCHES. LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
SHOWS INITIAL SURGE OF HIGHER LEVEL MOISTURE BEING TRANSPORTED
NORTHWARD INTO IA/MN AHEAD OF STRONGER DAKOTAS WAVE. SEVERAL WEAKER
PIECES OF SHORT WAVE ENERGY WILL INCREASE THE CHANCE OF -SHRA TODAY.
THE FIRST HAS BEEN PRODUCING A FEW SPRINKLES AND ISOLATED -SHRA IN
THE SOUTHEAST CWA OVERNIGHT. THESE SHOULD END EARLY BUT EXPECT
UPSTREAM STRONGER WAVE OVER NRN MO/WRN IA AREA TO TRIGGER MORE -SHRA
OVER SRN WI LATER THIS MRNG AND AFTN. SOUTH CENTRAL WI WILL BE
CLOSER TO DEEP MOISTURE FEED AND HAS BETTER CHANCE FOR -SHRA LATER
TODAY. LIKELY TO BE A BREAK IN THE -SHRA THREAT FROM LATE AFTN THRU
THE EVE BUT WITH PERSISTENT WEAK ISENTROPIC OMEGA AND LOWER
CONDENSATION PRESSURE DEFICITS...NEED TO KEEP SMALL CHANCE FOR -SHRA
IN THRU THE LATE NGT. STRONG LOW LEVEL JET PIVOTS INTO SRN WI LATE
TONIGHT RESULTING IN MORE WIDESPREAD SHRA AND PERHAPS AN ISOLD T.

TUESDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY... FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM.

THE CLOSED UPPER LOW OVER THE SOUTHWEST STATES TUESDAY MORNING WILL
SWING NORTHEAST THROUGH THE UPPER MIDWEST ON WEDNESDAY. A SURGE OF
GULF MOISTURE WILL ARRIVE IN SOUTHERN WI TUESDAY MORNING ON THE NOSE
OF A STRONG 50+ KNOT SOUTHERLY LOW LEVEL JET. EXPECT PERIODS OF
HEAVY RAIN THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING. MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE
WEAK... BUT THE STRONG LLJ FORCING AND WARM AIR ADVECTION COULD AID
IN PRODUCING SCATTERED THUNDER. THE INCREASING SURFACE PRESSURE
GRADIENT WILL LEAD TO BLUSTERY SOUTHEAST WINDS OF 20 TO 25 MPH.
GUSTS TO 35 MPH ARE POSSIBLE.

DRIER AND COLDER LOW LEVEL AIR WRAPPING INTO THE SYSTEM WILL ARRIVE
IN SOUTHERN WI WED MORNING WITH THE LEADING EDGE OF THE UPPER LOW.
LOOK FOR RAIN TO TAPER OFF THROUGH THE DAY. BY WED AFTERNOON...
STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL LEAD TO HIGHER MIXING AND THUS
GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS.

LONG TERM...

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT... FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM.

THE UPPER LOW WILL GET ABSORBED INTO ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH SWINGING
DOWN THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST. THIS WILL
BRING A REINFORCING SHOT OF COLD AIR INTO SOUTHERN WI ON THU. THE
TEMPERATURE PROFILE WILL BE COLD ENOUGH FOR SNOW WED NIGHT AND
THU... BUT THE BIG QUESTION IS HOW MUCH MOISTURE WILL BE AVAILABLE
FOR SNOW. IF IT SNOWS... A HALF INCH OR LESS WOULD BE POSSIBLE ON
GRASSY AREAS.

FRIDAY THROUGH SATURDAY... FORECAST CONFIDENCE LOW.

THE ECMWF KEEPS THE GREAT LAKES REGION UNDER NORTHWEST FLOW WITH AN
UPPER LOW OVER ONTARIO. THERE IS AN UPPER TROUGH THAT DROPS OUT OF
PHASE OVER THE WESTERN U.S. WITH THE ECMWF... BUT STAYS IN PHASE
WITH THE GFS AND TRACKS THROUGH THE UPPER MIDWEST FRI NIGHT. THE
CANADIAN MODEL IS SIMILAR TO THE GFS. THE LATTER TWO MODELS PRODUCE
A SWATH OF SNOW OVER SOUTHERN WI FRI NIGHT WHILE THE ECWMF KEEPS US
DRY. THE MODELS ARE PROBABLY GOING TO FLIP FLOP WITH THIS FORECAST A
COUPLE MORE TIMES BEFORE COMING INTO AGREEMENT DUE TO THE NATURE OF
THE WEAK UPPER LOW BEHAVIOR... SO STAY TUNED TO LATER FORECASTS.

SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY... FORECAST CONFIDENCE VERY LOW.

THE GFS AND ECWMF BECOME COMPLETELY OUT OF PHASE IN THE LATTER
PERIODS AND THE SLIGHT CHANCES OF SNOW IN THE FORECAST DO NOT HOLD
ANY WEIGHT. THE ECWMF FAVORS A WARM SOLUTION WITH RAIN SHOWERS
WITHIN SOUTHERLY FLOW AHEAD OF AN UPPER LOW OVER THE NORTHWEST
STATES. THE GFS HOLDS ONTO COLD AND FAIRLY DRY NORTHWEST FLOW DUE TO
AN UPPER LOW OVER THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES.

AVIATION/12Z TAFS/...

SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL AFFECT SRN WI LATER THIS MRNG AND AFTN AND
MAY LOWER CIGS TO MVFR.  THIS LOWER CIGS MAY NOT RECUPERATE DURING
THE LATE AFTN AND EVE AS -SHRA WANE BUT PERSISTENT SLY WINDS
MAINTAIN DEEPER MOISTURE INFLUX INTO THE REGION. CIGS MAY DROP TO
IFR LEVELS LATE TNGT AS MORE WIDESPREAD -RA SPREADS TOWARD/INTO SRN
WI.

MARINE...

LOW PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS LATER TODAY
THROUGH TUESDAY AND THEN TAKE A NORTHEAST TRACK THROUGH THE UPPER
MIDWEST TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.  THE TIGHTENING PRESSURE
GRADIENT AND STRENGTH OF THIS SYSTEM WILL RESULT IN GUSTY SSE WINDS
DEVELOPING OVER THE NEARSHORE WATERS TONIGHT AND BUILDING WAVES.
FURTHER STRENGTHENING IS EXPECTED TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...PRODUCING
POSSIBLE GALE FORCE GUSTS.  A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL BE POSTED
FOR TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING...FOLLOWED BY A GALE WATCH THAT
WILL EXTEND INTO THURSDAY MORNING AS STRONG GUSTY WINDS TURN TO THE
WEST AS THE LOW MOVES FARTHER NORTH INTO SOUTHERN CANADA.

LATEST MODIS IMAGERY AND PORT WASHINGTON INFOS MEASURING LAKE SFC
TEMP IN THE 40 TO 45 DEGREE RANGE WITH MID TO UPPER 40S FARTHER
SOUTH.  SOME FOG MAY HAVE TIME TO DEVELOP BETWEEN PERIODS OF RAIN
OVER THE NEAR SHORE WATERS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY AS
WARMER...MOIST AIR SURGES ACROSS LAKE MI AHEAD OF THE SURFACE LOW
PRESSURE.
