AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
336 PM CST TUE FEB 10 2015
.TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM.
STRONG 500 MB SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO SLIDE EAST NORTHEAST
ACROSS THE REGION INTO THIS EVENING...WITH ANOTHER SLIDING SOUTHEAST
INTO THE AREA AROUND 12Z WEDNESDAY. BEST UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION FROM
THE FIRST SHORTWAVE...ALONG WITH FOCUSED WARM AIR ADVECTION AND 850
MB TO 700 MB Q VECTOR CONVERGENCE...REMAINS OVER NORTHERN AND
CENTRAL WISCONSIN. THIS DOES BRUSH THE FAR NORTHERN COUNTIES.
LATEST MESOSCALE MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH SHOWING A BAND
OF MAINLY LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS/FLURRIES SLIDING EAST ACROSS THE AREA
THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS...WITH LIGHTER REFLECTIVITIES IN ITS
WAKE FOR LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. A FAIR AMOUNT OF DRY AIR
IN THE LOW LEVELS HAS RESULTED IN LITTLE TO NO PRECIPITATION BEING
OBSERVED BY UPSTREAM OBSERVATION SITES.
THINK THAT THERE SHOULD BE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS
AT BEST WITH THIS BAND...SO USED THAT WORDING IN THE FORECAST FOR
TONIGHT. SOME UNCERTAINTY HERE WITH AREAL COVERAGE GIVEN THE DRY LOW
LEVELS.
AREA FORECAST SOUNDINGS FROM NAM/GFS/RAP/HRRR GENERALLY SHOW MAINLY
LIGHT SNOW WHERE DEEP SATURATION IN AIR COLUMN OCCURS. THE INITIAL
BAND OF REFLECTIVITY MAY ALSO CONTAIN PATCHY LIGHT FREEZING
DRIZZLE...AS ICE CRYSTALS MAY NOT BE INTRODUCED INTO AIR COLUMN AT
TIMES. SOUNDINGS LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT SHOWING PATCHY
LIGHT FREEZING DRIZZLE CONTINUING...WITH LOSS OF ICE CRYSTALS.
FOR TONIGHT...CONTINUED HIGHEST POPS IN THE FAR NORTH...LOWER TO THE
SOUTH TONIGHT. AROUND 1 INCH OF SNOW ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED FAR
NORTH...TO A DUSTING AT BEST FAR SOUTH.
AREA REMAINS IN CYCLONIC FLOW AT 500 MB WEDNESDAY...WITH STRONG
VORTICITY MAXIMUM SHIFTING TOWARD THE AREA LATER IN THE DAY. AREA
FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUPPORT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED LIGHT SNOW SHOWER
ACTIVITY WITH MOIST LOW LEVELS AND STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES IN
DENDRITE SNOW GROWTH ZONE. NORTHWEST WINDS BEHIND STRONG COLD FRONT
WILL BECOME GUSTY ON WEDNESDAY...GUSTING UP TO 25 KNOTS IN THE
AFTERNOON.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN NEARLY STEADY TONIGHT WITH THE WARM AIR
ADVECTION...THEN WILL HAVE EARLY HIGHS ON WEDNESDAY BEFORE STRONG
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. TEMPERATURES WILL THEN GRADUALLY FALL WITH
THE COLD AIR ADVECTION KICKING IN DURING THE DAY.
.WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS HIGH.
A DEEP 500MB TROUGH DIVES SOUTH THROUGH THE STATE OVERNIGHT. A
STRONG VORTICITY MAXIMUM MOVES THROUGH WITH THE TROUGH AXIS SO HAVE
LIGHT SNOW OVERNIGHT. GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE THRU THURS
MORNING AND WILL START TO WIND DOWN DURING THE AFTERNOON AS SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO THE REGION. STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION
BRINGS 925 TEMPERATURES TO AROUND -20C YIELDING HIGHS IN THE SINGLE
DIGITS. THURSDAY MORNING WIND CHILL VALUES LOOK TO BE AROUND -15
DEGREES.
.THURSDAY NIGHT THRU FRIDAY NIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM.
WARM AIR ADVECTION FOLLOWING A THERMAL RIDGE KEEPS TEMPS FROM
DROPPING MUCH THURSDAY NIGHT FROM THE CHILLY DAYTIME HIGHS AND
BRINGS SOME MODERATION TO TEMPS ON FRI. THE NEXT LOW MOVES NORTH OF
THE STATE ON FRIDAY WITH A CHANCE FOR LIGHT SNOW ALONG THE SURFACE
TROUGH. COULD SEE ABOUT A HALF INCH OF ACCUMULATION.
.SATURDAY THRU SUNDAY NIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS HIGH.
ANOTHER DEEP 500MB TROUGH DIGS SOUTH ACROSS THE STATE ON SATURDAY
BRINGING ANOTHER SURGE OF COLD AIR AND GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS. 925
TEMPS GET DOWN TO -23C. THE COLDEST SURFACE TEMPERATURES DURING THE
EXTENDED PERIOD WILL BE SATURDAY NIGHT WHERE TEMPS OF -10 TO -15 ARE
FORECAST AWAY FROM THE LAKE. THIS IS A TIME PERIOD TO MONITOR FOR A
WIND CHILL ADVISORY. WINDS WILL BE WINDING DOWN OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO THE REGION ON SUNDAY...BUT LIGHT WINDS
WILL BE ENOUGH TO CREATE WIND CHILL VALUES OF -20 TO -25 SUNDAY
MORNING.
A SHORTWAVE MOVES ACROSS THE REGION SUNDAY NIGHT BRINGING ANOTHER
CHANCE FOR LIGHT SNOW.
