FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR ROUTINE MORNING FORECAST ISSUANCE

.SHORT TERM...TODAY...TONIGHT...AND WEDNESDAY
ISSUED AT 410 AM CDT TUE MAR 15 2016

LEAD SHORT-WAVE TROF WAS APPROACHING FROM THE SOUTHWEST AND
PRODUCING SCT ELEVATED CONVECTION OVER FAR SW/WC WI EARLY THIS
MORNING. MODELS HAVE CONTINUED THEIR TREND OF SLOWING DOWN THE
ARRIVAL OF PCPN TODAY...WITH THE MAIN SURGE OCCURRING LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...SO HAVE MADE SOME DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENTS IN
POPS TODAY.

A STRONGER S/W TROF MOVG FROM COLORADO INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS IS
EXPECTED TO BECOME NEGATIVELY-TILTED AND CLOSE OFF AS IT PUSHES
INTO SOUTHERN WI LATE TONIGHT. LOW PRESSURE OVER KANSAS IS
EXPECTED TO DEEPEN RAPIDLY AS IT SHIFTS NORTHEAST INTO WI
TONIGHT. STRONG LIFT WILL BE PROVIDED BY THE APPROACHING UPPER
TROF/LOW...UPPER LEVEL DIVG...AND WAA/ISENT LIFT ON THE NOSE OF A
50-60 KT LLJ. THIS WILL CAUSE A SIGNIFICANT BAND OF SHOWERS TO
LIFT NORTH ACROSS THE REGION. WITH 700-500 MB LAPSE RATES AROUND 7
C/KM AND H8 LI'S OF 0 TO -2...EXPECT SOME EMBEDDED TSTMS TO
OCCUR...ESPECIALLY OVER C/EC WI. HEAVY RAINFALL AND SMALL HAIL MAY
ACCOMPANY ANY STORMS.

THE DEEPLY STACKED LOW WILL DRIFT NNE ON WEDNESDAY...CONTINUING
THE THREAT OF SHOWERS THROUGH THE DAY. LOW-LEVEL THICKNESSES AND
TEMPS INDICATE SOME POTENTIAL FOR A RAIN/SNOW MIX OVER OUR FAR NW
COUNTIES LATE IN THE DAY...BUT TEMPS SHOULD BE TOO WARM FOR ACCUMS
UNTIL WEDS EVENING.

EAST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO CRANK UP AS THE PRESSURE FALLS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE RAPIDLY DEEPENING SFC LOW DEVELOP LATER
THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. GALE FORCE GUSTS ARE POSSIBLE ON
LAKE MICHIGAN. AS THE LOW DRIFTS NORTH ON WEDS...STRONG SW WINDS
WILL DEVELOP OVER PARTS OF C/EC WI AND THE LKSHR...LEADING TO
ANOTHER POSSIBLE PERIOD OF GALE FORCE GUSTS...ESPECIALLY OVER OUR
SOUTHERN MARINE ZONES. HAVE ISSUED A GALE WARNING FROM LATE THIS
EVG UNTIL AROUND MIDNIGHT WEDS NGT.

HAVE ALSO ISSUED A MARINE FOG ADVISORY FOR LAKE MICHIGAN...AS
THE MTW OBS AND SEVERAL WEB CAMS HAVE SHOWN LOW VSBYS OVERNIGHT.
WILL CARRY THE MARINE FOG ADVISORY UNTIL 4 PM TODAY...BUT THIS
MAY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED.

.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY
ISSUED AT 410 AM CDT TUE MAR 15 2016

MAIN STORY WILL BE THE STRONG SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS THE REGION
WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT. PRECIPITATION TYPE ISSUES
ARE A CONCERN WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY EVENING ACROSS THE
FAR NORTH. EXPECTING AN ACCUMULATING SNOW NORTH A WAUSAU TO
WAUSAUKEE LINE WHERE ONE TO THREE INCHES OF SNOW IS EXPECTED.
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS VILAS COUNTY WITH 3 TO
5 INCHES OF SNOW EXPECTED WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE.

THE UPPER TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO SWING ACROSS THE REGION THURSDAY
INTO THURSDAY NIGHT, BRINGING A CONTINUED CHANCE OF RAIN OR SNOW
SHOWERS. THE PRECIPITATION SHOULD COME TO AN END LATE THURSDAY
NIGHT AS DRIER AIR FILTERS INTO THE REGION. DRY CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY. A WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL BRING A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS SATURDAY NIGHT. OTHERWISE...
TEMPERATURES WILL BE CLOSE TO NORMAL DURING THE PERIOD, MAYBE A
FEW DEGREES BELOW NORMAL ON SOME DAYS.

.AVIATION...FOR 06Z TAF ISSUANCE
ISSUED AT 1040 PM CDT MON MAR 14 2016

CONDITIONS ONCE AGAIN VARIED GREATLY FROM LIFR AT MTW...TO VFR
ACROSS THE FOX VALLEY. NWP MODELS CONTINUE TO SLOW DOWN THE
ADVANCE OF THE PRECIPITATION AND LOWER CONDITIONS FROM AN
APPROACHING LOW...MAKING THE MOS GUIDANCE CIG/VSBYS PRACTICALLY
USELESS. WITH THIS SET OF TAFS WILL ONCE AGAIN DELAY THE ONSET OF
RAIN AND LOWER CONDITIONS AS THIS SYSTEM HAS CONTINUED TO SLOW
DOWN WITH EACH SUBSEQUENT RUN. CONFIDENCE IS ONCE AGAIN VERY LOW
WITH THIS TAF ISSUANCE GIVEN THE TREND OF HOLDING CONDITIONS AS IS
INSTEAD OF LOWERING AS PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED.
