AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
1120 AM CDT SAT OCT 10 2015

.UPDATE...

A MILD DAY IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA...WITH SOME HIGH CLOUDS
MOVING THROUGH. SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO
INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON...WITH GUSTS IN THE 15 TO 20 KNOT RANGE.
THIS IS A RESULT OF A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT.

WARM AIR ADVECTION AND 925 MB TEMPERATURE FIELDS FROM THE MODELS
WILL ALLOW FOR HIGHS TO REACH THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 60S ACROSS THE
AREA THIS AFTERNOON.

&&

.AVIATION/18Z TAFS/...

VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON...TONIGHT AND SUNDAY
ACROSS TAF SITES. HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST OF THE
REGION DURING THIS TIME. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE THIS
AFTERNOON...WITH GUSTS IN THE 15 TO 20 KNOT RANGE. SOME DIURNAL
CUMULUS AND HIGH CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED AS WELL.

SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL LINGER TONIGHT...WITH LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR
CONDITIONS EXPECTED LATER THIS EVENING INTO EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.
WINDS AT 2000 FEET ABOVE GROUND LEVEL SHOULD BE SOUTHWEST AROUND
40 KNOTS DURING THIS TIME.

SOUTHWEST WINDS ON SUNDAY WILL GUST TO 20 TO 25 KNOTS...AS WARM
AIR CONTINUES TO PUSH INTO THE AREA. MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES ARE
EXPECTED.

&&

.MARINE...

A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT WILL RESULT
IN SOUTHWEST WINDS IN THE 10 TO 15 KNOT RANGE...WITH GUSTS TO
AROUND 20 KNOTS. HIGH WAVES SHOULD REMAIN OVER THE OPEN WATERS
DURING THIS TIME...SO AM NOT ANTICIPATING A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
FOR THIS PERIOD.

THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BECOME A BIT TIGHTER SUNDAY INTO
MONDAY NIGHT...AS A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE REGION.
SOUTHWEST WINDS SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY EVENING SHOULD GUST INTO THE
25 TO 30 KNOT RANGE.

WINDS WILL VEER WEST MONDAY AND NORTHWEST MONDAY NIGHT AFTER THE
COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE. GUSTS AROUND 30 KNOTS ARE POSSIBLE DURING
THIS TIME. HIGH WAVES MAY OCCUR TOWARD THE OPEN WATERS WITH THE
OFFSHORE FLOW. THUS...A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED
FOR SUNDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 319 AM CDT SAT OCT 10 2015/

SHORT TERM...

TODAY AND TONIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS HIGH.

A WEAK UPPER SHORTWAVE WILL EXIT THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES AS A LARGE
UPPER RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL ROCKIES BUILDS TOWARD THE UPPER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO NORTHER ILLINOIS TONIGHT.
AS THIS OCCURS THE JET BECOMES MORE ZONAL ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA.
UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE IS VERY WEAK.

850/700 MB WEST WINDS INCREASE ALONG WITH WARM AIR ADVECTION. 700 MB
UPWARD MOTION IS WEAK.  700 MB RH DOES INDICATE TWO BANDS OF
INCREASING RH...BUT DOES NOT SATURATE.  AS SUCH ONLY A FEW BANDS OF
MAINLY SCATTERED ALTOCUMULUS IS EXPECTED.  850 MB RH IS DRY.

THE RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE OVER SOUTHERN WISCONSIN EARLY THIS
MORNING WILL MOVE OFF TO THE EAST AS A SOUTHWEST GRADIENT
INCREASE TODAY AND TONIGHT.

AS THE CIRRUS CLOUDS MOVE OFF...EXPECT SOME GROUND FOG EARLY THIS
MORNING...ESPECIALLY IN THE RIVER VALLEYS.

LONG TERM...

SUNDAY... FORECAST CONFIDENCE HIGH.

A STRONG SHORTWAVE TRACKING THROUGH SOUTHERN CANADA AND THE NORTHERN
PLAINS WILL LEAD TO CONTINUED BREEZY SOUTHWEST WINDS AND EVEN WARMER
TEMPERATURES IN SOUTHERN WI ON SUNDAY. GUSTS UP TO 30 MPH ARE
EXPECTED AT TIMES ON SUNDAY DUE TO THE STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT
AND MIXING... ESPECIALLY IN SOUTHEAST WI. 925MB TEMPS WILL JUMP TO
AROUND 20C BY 00Z. THE SHORTER DAYS WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO REALIZE
THAT POTENTIAL OF 80F FOR MOST AREAS... BUT EXPECTING TO HIT UPPER
70S WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. EXPECTING A LOW AROUND 60 SUN
NIGHT WITH CONTINUED ELEVATED WINDS AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM. THERE WILL BE A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET OVERHEAD SUN
NIGHT... SO EXPECT OCCASIONAL HIGH GUSTS.

MONDAY AND TUESDAY... FORECAST CONFIDENCE HIGH.

THAT STRONG SHORTWAVE/ DEEPENING UPPER LOW AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW
WILL TRACK ACROSS ONTARIO LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND THROUGH THE DAY
MONDAY. THE TRAILING COLD FRONT SHOULD CLEAR SOUTHEAST WI BY MID
MORNING.

PRECIP ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN WELL TO OUR
NORTH. THERE SHOULD BE SOME LOW CLOUDS WITH THE FRONT AND JUST
BEHIND IT. OTHERWISE... DRY AIR WILL DOMINATE.

LOOK FOR GUSTY WEST WINDS MONDAY AFTERNOON AND FALLING TEMPERATURES
WITH STEADY COLD AIR ADVECTION. GUSTS TO 30 TO 35 MPH ARE LIKELY. THE
MAX TEMPS IN THE UPPER 60S WILL OCCUR DURING THE MONDAY MORNING
HOURS.

NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL BRING A WEAK SHORTWAVE THROUGH THE UPPER
MIDWEST ON TUESDAY. THIS WILL BRING 925-850MB TEMPS BACK UP...
ALLOWING MAX TEMPS TO REACH THE MID 50S TO AROUND 60 DESPITE THE
COLD START IN THE LOWER 40S TUE MORNING. THIS WARM AIR ADVECTION
ALOFT WILL LIKELY BRING SOME MID LEVEL CLOUDS.

WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY... FORECAST CONFIDENCE MEDIUM.

WE WILL BE IN A PROLONGED PERIOD OF DRY NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT DUE TO
RIDGING OVER THE SOUTHWEST STATES AND TROUGHING FROM HUDSON BAY TO
THE NORTHEAST STATES. SHORTWAVES IN THE FLOW WILL BRING PERIODS OF
MID LEVEL CLOUDS... BUT THERE IS VERY LITTLE MOISTURE TO SPEAK OF.
HIGHS ARE EXPECTED IN THE UPPER 50S TO AROUND 60 FOR THE REMAINDER
OF THE WEEK WHICH IS RIGHT AROUND SEASONAL NORMALS.

THE ECMWF TRIES TO BRING A PRECIP-PRODUCING SHORTWAVE THROUGH WI FRI
NIGHT AND THE GFS KEEPS US DRY. THE GFS SHOWED THE WETTER SOLUTION
YESTERDAY WHILE THE ECMWF REMAINED DRY. KEPT THE FORECAST DRY FOR
NOW.
