AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
318 AM CST SAT JAN 3 2015

.SHORT TERM...

TODAY AND TONIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE - MEDIUM.

CONVOLUTED...DIFFICULT FORECAST FOR THE NEXT 18 HOURS WITH LOWER
CONFIDENCE. IN THE VERY SHORT TERM...FIRST VIGOROUS SHORT WAVE
OVER CENTRAL IA PRODUCING EXPANDING AREA OF -SN ACROSS SRN WI LAST
HOUR OR SO. THIS WILL PRODUCE A QUICK ONE HALF INCH TO ONE INCH AS
BURST OF ENHANCED FORCING FROM ELEVATED FRONTOGENESIS INTERSECTS
GOOD DENDRITIC SNOW GROWTH REGION. THIS SHORT WAVE SPEEDS OFF TO
THE NORTHEAST EARLY THIS MORNING SO -SN WL BE ENDING MOST
LOCATIONS. HOWEVER SECOND UPSTREAM WEAK SHORT WAVE BEING EJECTED
OUT AHEAD OF MAIN WAVE IN WEST TEXAS WL TRACK RAPIDLY NORTHEAST
AND WL LIKELY BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF PRECIP TO SOUTHEAST WI LATER
THIS MRNG AND AFTN. BETWEEN WAVES...LOSE UPPER LEVEL RH AND ICE
CRYSTALS SO WL CONTINUE SMALL CHANCES FOR ZL-/ZR- IN SOUTH CENTRAL
WI. FORECAST SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO FAVOR -SN/-IP MIX ACROSS MOST
OF THE SOUTHEAST BUT NEED TO INCLUDE THE POTENTIAL FOR -RA OR -ZR
DUE TO MID-LEVEL DRYING...WHICH PERSISTS INTO TNGT.

UPSTREAM KICKER CAUSES TEXAS SHORT WAVE TO TAKE A TRACK NORTHEAST
TONIGHT...PASSING JUST SOUTH OF SRN WI.  COLDER AIR FUNNELING
WESTWARD AS LOW PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH TEXAS WAVE DEEPENS OVER
LOWER MI.  INCREASING WNW WINDS WILL PULL THE COLDER AIR ACROSS SRN
WI AS ENHANCED FORCING FROM STRENGTHENING MID-LEVEL DEFORMATION
MOVES ACROSS SOUTHEAST WI.  HOWEVER FORCING MOVES THROUGH FAIRLY
RAPIDLY.  SNOW-LIQUID RATIOS DROP TO AROUND 15 TO 1 AS THIS AREA
RECEIVES BETWEEN 1 AND 2 TENTHS LIQUID LATE TNGT.  HENCE 1 TO 2
INCHES OF SNOW LIKELY IN THE SOUTHEAST LATE TNGT.  IN
ADDITION...INCREASING NORTHWEST WIND GUSTS TO 25 MPH WILL CAUSE
AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW.

DUE TO MIXTURE EXPECTED IN SOUTHEAST WI AND SEVERAL BOUTS OF PRECIP
TODAY...WL CONTINUE WINTER WX ADVY AS IS AND LET DAY CREW DECIDE IF
ADDITIONAL ADVY WOULD BE NEEDED FOR TNGT.  WL ISSUE SPS TO COVER
TNGT.

SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY... FORECAST CONFIDENCE HIGH.

LOOK FOR SNOW TO TAPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST SUNDAY MORNING BEHIND
THE ARCTIC FRONT. FLURRIES WILL BE LIKELY THE REST OF THE DAY UNTIL
THE CLOUDS CLEAR... SINCE THE CLOUDS WILL BE WITHIN THE SNOW GROWTH
ZONE. WINDS INCREASING OUT OF THE NORTHWEST WITH GUSTS UP TO 30 MPH
WILL USHER MUCH COLDER AIR INTO THE AREA WITH FALLING TEMPERATURES
THROUGH THE DAY.

WIND CHILLS WILL DROP INTO THE -20 TO -30 DEGREE RANGE SUNDAY NIGHT
WITH LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE SINGLE DIGITS BELOW ZERO AND BRISK
WESTERLY WINDS. THIS WILL MEET WIND CHILL ADVISORY CRITERIA.
TEMPERATURES WILL ONLY RECOVER INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE ZERO ON
MONDAY... DESPITE SUNSHINE.

.LONG TERM...

MONDAY NIGHT... FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM.

A CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL TRACK THROUGH IOWA AND ILLINOIS MONDAY NIGHT
AND BRING A SWATH OF ACCUMULATING SNOW TO NORTHEAST IOWA AND
SOUTHERN WI. MODELS STILL DISAGREE ON THE EXACT TRACK OF THE SURFACE
LOW AND THEREFORE THE TRACK OF THE AXIS OF HIGHEST PRECIP. RIGHT NOW
IT LOOKS LIKE THE HIGHEST SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE IN SOUTHWEST WI.

THIS LOOKS LIKE AN ADVISORY EVENT FOR SOUTHERN WI. SNOW-WATER
RATIOS WILL BE AROUND 20:1 WITH A VERY DEEP SATURATED LAYER WITHIN
THE DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE FOR ABOUT A 4-HOUR TIME PERIOD. WE ARE
EXPECTING A QUICK 3 TO 5 INCHES OF SNOW FOR MUCH OF THE AREA
OVERNIGHT MONDAY NIGHT.

TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY... FORECAST CONFIDENCE HIGH.

SNOW WILL MOVE OUT QUICKLY TUE MORNING. TEMPERATURES WILL DROP BACK
DOWN BELOW ZERO TUE NIGHT AND AGAIN WED NIGHT WITH A VERY COLD AIR
MASS IN PLACE. WIND CHILLS WILL LIKELY HIT WIND CHILL ADVISORY
CRITERIA ONCE AGAIN. QUIET WEATHER WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THU
MORNING WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION. ANOTHER CLIPPER
CROSSING LAKE SUPERIOR MAY BRING A SMALL AMOUNT OF SNOW TO
SOUTHERN WI THU AFTERNOON/EVE.

&&

.AVIATION/12Z TAFS/...

SEVERAL PERIODS OF -SN WL AFFECT SOUTHEAST WI NEXT 24 HOURS WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR MIXED SLEET AND -ZR IN THE SOUTHEAST.  CHANCE FOR -ZL
FARTHER WEST AT KMSN. CIGS VARYING FROM MVFR TO IFR MOST OF THE
PERIOD.

&&

.MARINE...

STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS WILL KICK IN SUNDAY MORNING IN THE WAKE OF AN
ARCTIC FRONT AND ON THE HEELS OF LOW PRESSURE TRACKING FROM ILLINOIS
TO LOWER MICHIGAN TONIGHT. SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED THROUGH LATE MONDAY MORNING AND A HEADLINE IS IN EFFECT.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE VERY COLD NEXT WEEK...AND SHOULD RESULT IN A
FREEZING SPRAY RISK FROM TIME TO TIME.
