AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
405 AM CDT TUE MAR 22 2016

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

AREA OF VERY LIGHT RADAR REFLECTIVITY...FROM SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA
TO NORTHEAST IOWA...SHOULD MOVE EAST ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING.
THIS WAS BEING DRIVEN BY STRONG FOCUSED WARM AIR ADVECTION...ALONG
WITH SOME 700 MB TO 500 MB FRONTOGENESIS RESPONSE AND 500 MB
VORTICITY MAXIMA.

AS THESE FEATURES MOVE EAST ACROSS THE AREA THIS
MORNING...MESOSCALE MODELS TRY TO PRODUCE SOME LIGHT RADAR
REFLECTIVITY IN THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA. AREA FORECAST
SOUNDINGS ARE NOT SHOWING MUCH IN THE WAY OF MOISTURE BELOW 12000
FEET ABOVE GROUND LEVEL. THUS...KEPT FORECAST DRY THIS
MORNING...THOUGH SOME SPRINKLES MAY OCCUR AS THIS SHIFTS EAST
THROUGH THE AREA.

OTHERWISE...EXPECT MIDDLE TO HIGH CLOUDS TO FILL IN ACROSS THE
AREA THIS MORNING...WITH MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES THIS AFTERNOON.
STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION SHOULD ALLOW FOR A WARM DAY...DESPITE
THE CLOUD COVER. HIGHS SHOULD REACH THE MID 50S FAR NORTHEAST...TO
THE LOWER 60S FAR SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST. GUSTY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS ARE EXPECTED IN THE FAR SOUTHEAST COUNTIES AS WELL.

SURFACE WARM FRONT SHOULD DROP SOUTH OF THE AREA TONIGHT...WITH
THE 850 MB BAROCLINIC ZONE WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE AREA. AREA
FORECAST SOUNDINGS ARE TRYING TO SATURATE THROUGH A DEEP
LAYER...MORE SO ON THE GFS THAN THE NAM. STILL...THERE SHOULD BE
ENOUGH COLUMN MOISTURE AND UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION TO BRING HIGHER
END POPS FOR LATER TONIGHT. CUT BACK POPS BEFORE THEN...AS AIR
REMAINS DRIER. MAY SEE A MIX OF RAIN/SNOW/SLEET IN PORTIONS OF THE
NORTHERN COUNTIES LATER TONIGHT...AS TEMPERATURE PROFILES GET
COLDER THERE.

.WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM.

MID TO UPPER TROUGHING ADVANCES FROM THE GREAT PLAINS INTO THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WITH SFC LOW PRESSURE TRACKING FROM NORTHERN
KANSAS WEDNESDAY MORNING TO THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES THURSDAY
AFTERNOON. STRONG THERMAL GRADIENT WILL BE IN PLACE RIGHT ACROSS
SOUTHERN WISCONSIN AS THIS DYNAMIC SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH. THIS
COULD LEAD TO A SITUATION /ALL TOO FAMILIAR THIS WINTER SEASON/
WHERE PORTIONS OF OUR AREA SEE SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL
WHILE OTHERS SEE MORE OF A MIX OR EVEN PERHAPS MOSTLY RAIN IN OUR
FAR SOUTHEAST.

FOR WEDNESDAY THERE IS GENERAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE DETERMINISTIC
GUIDANCE IN TRACKING A SFC LOW EAST FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS INTO
NORTHERN MISSOURI BY EVENING. LOW-LEVEL FRONTOGENETIC FORCING
ALONG AND NORTH OF A STATIONARY FRONT OVER NORTHERN ILLINOIS
SHOULD LEAD TO PRECIPITATION BREAKING OUT POSSIBLY AS EARLY AS
THE MORNING HOURS AND CONTINUING INTO THE AFTERNOON. MODEL THERMAL
FIELDS DIFFER SOMEWHAT DURING THIS TIME...WITH QUESTIONS REMAINING
REGARDING PRECIPITATION TYPE. THE 22.00Z DETERMINISTIC RUNS OF THE
GFS...NAM...AND GGEM ALL SUGGEST THE PRESENCE OF A WARM LAYER
ALOFT DURING THE DAY. ADDITIONALLY...NAM AND GFS FORECAST
SOUNDINGS GENERALLY SHOW THE BEST LIFT AND SATURATION TAKING PLACE
IN THE LOWER LEVELS WITH ONLY PARTIAL SATURATION WITHIN THE
FAVORABLE SNOW CRYSTAL GROWTH REGION. UNDER THIS SCENARIO WOULD
EXPECT MORE SLEET AND/OR FREEZING RAIN ACROSS OUR NORTH AND
PERHAPS CENTRAL GIVEN MAXIMUM LAYER TEMPERATURES AROUND 2 TO 3
DEGREES CELSIUS. THIS SOLUTION IS WARM ENOUGH FOR ALL RAIN IN THE
SOUTH. A NOTABLE OUTLIER AMONG THE DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE IS THE
21.12Z ECMWF WHICH MAINTAINS A SUBFREEZING PROFILE THROUGHOUT THE
ATMOSPHERIC COLUMN. THIS SCENARIO WOULD BE COLD ENOUGH FOR MOSTLY
SNOW ON WEDNESDAY WITH SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS IN OUR NORTH AND
A MIXTURE IN OUR FAR SOUTH ALONG THE ILLINOIS BORDER. TAKING A
PEAK AT THE NEW 22.00Z ECMWF SHOWS A CLOSER ALIGNMENT WITH THE
OTHER GUIDANCE. GIVEN THIS...HAVE TRENDED THE WEATHER GRIDS MORE
TOWARDS A MIXTURE IN OUR NORTH WEDNESDAY MORNING AND AFTERNOON
WITH PRIMARILY RAIN IN THE SOUTH. HAVE ALSO ADJUSTED SNOW TOTALS
DOWNWARD SLIGHTLY DURING THIS PERIOD AND CONFINED THEM TO OUR FAR
NORTHERN TIER. MAINTAINED THUNDER MENTION GIVEN THE ELEVATED
INSTABILITY PRESENT.

THE GREATEST FORCING FOR ASCENT ARRIVES WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS
ISENTROPIC ADIABATIC OMEGA INCREASES TO BETWEEN 10 AND 30
MICROBARS PER SECOND. BY THIS TIME THERMAL PROFILES ARE COLLAPSING
AS THE SURFACE LOW PASSES BY TO OUR SOUTH. EXPECT A TRANSITION TO
SNOW OVER MUCH OF THE AREA DURING THIS TIME...ALTHOUGH WE COULD
HOLD ON TO A MIXTURE IN THE FAR SOUTHEAST. LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL
BE A TIGHT SNOWFALL GRADIENT GRADIENT WITH HINTS OF A NORTHWARD
SHIFT POSSIBLE. THIS IDEA IS SUPPORTED BY FRONTOGENESIS RESPONSE
FIELDS WHICH SHOW THE GREATEST FORCING WITHIN THE 500 TO 600 MB
SNOW CRYSTAL GROWTH REGION EITHER STAYING TO OUR NORTH OR JUST
BRUSHING THE NORTHERN PORTION OF OUR SERVICE AREA. AFTER
EVALUATION OF FORECAST QPF...SNOW RATIOS...AND LOW-LEVEL THERMAL
PROFILES TIGHTENED UP THE STORM TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATION GRADIENT.
AT THIS TIME OUR NORTHERN TIER COUNTIES STAND THE BEST SHOT AT
SEEING SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS. THIS AREA IS CURRENTLY COVERED
BY THE WINTER STORM WATCH AND PLAN NO CHANGES TO ITS AREAL EXTENT
AT THIS TIME. MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION SHOULD COME TO AN END
THURSDAY MORNING AS THE LOW PULLS AWAY. FLURRIES MAY CONTINUE INTO
THE AFTERNOON AS A LOW LEVEL STRATUS DECK PERSISTS.

.FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM

HIGH PRESSURE BRINGS QUIET WEATHER TO SOUTHERN WISCONSIN ON
FRIDAY. SHOWERS ASSOCIATED WITH A PASSING TROUGH AND SURFACE COLD
FRONT ARE EXPECTED OVER THE WEEKEND. MOST OF THIS PRECIPITATION IS
SHOULD FALL AS RAIN.

&&

.AVIATION/12Z TAFS/...

LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL CONTINUE IN TAFS UNTIL AROUND 13Z TO
14Z THIS MORNING...WITH GUSTY SOUTHWEST WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH LOW
LEVEL JET STREAM MOVE THROUGH THE AREA. SURFACE WINDS SHOULD PICK
UP ENOUGH AFTER THEN TO END THE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR WORDING IN
TAFS.

MIDDLE TO HIGH CLOUDS WILL GRADUALLY FILL IN THIS
MORNING...REMAINING CLOUDY TONIGHT. GUSTY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS
ARE POSSIBLE AT TIMES AT KENOSHA...LESS SO AT MILWAUKEE AND
WAUKESHA. SOME SPRINKLES MAY AFFECT TAF SITES THIS MORNING.

WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHEAST BY 06Z WEDNESDAY...THEN LINGER
AND STRENGTHEN LATER TONIGHT. SHOULD SEE SOME LIGHT RAIN DEVELOP
LATER TONIGHT AT TAF SITES EXCEPT KENOSHA. ANY MIXED PRECIPITATION
WILL REMAIN NORTH OF TAF SITES LATER TONIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONTINUES UNTIL 21Z THIS AFTERNOON SOUTH OF
NORTH POINT LIGHTHOUSE. IN THIS AREA...GUSTY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP. FREQUENT GUSTS TO 25 KNOTS ARE
EXPECTED LATER THIS MORNING INTO EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. HIGH WAVES
WILL REMAIN OVER THE OPEN WATERS. THE WINDS SHOULD WEAKEN BY LATER
THIS AFTERNOON.

A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...AS GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS BRING HIGH WAVES TO THE NEARSHORE
WATERS.

A GALE WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR AREAS NORTH OF WIND POINT FROM
12Z THURSDAY TO 00Z FRIDAY...AND SOUTH OF THERE FROM 15Z THURSDAY
UNTIL 03Z FRIDAY. GUSTY NORTHEAST TO NORTH WINDS WILL SHIFT
NORTHWEST IN THE AFTERNOON...AS STRONG LOW PRESSURE MOVES THROUGH
