Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
906 PM CST Fri Dec 23 2016

.UPDATE...

Accumulating snow has ended south central and will end southeast
by midnight. Still higher reflectivity along the Illinois border
area due to the upper jet but this will diminish also by
midnight.

Some drizzle behind as mid levels dry and we lose ice in the
clouds. However surface temperatures are above freezing for the
most part, and even where it is around 32 north of madison, the
snow on the ground should prevent any problems.

&&

.AVIATION/06Z TAFS/...

The back edge of the precip was near madison at 03Z and this will
translate east across southern WI with stronger 700mb
frontogenesis. Most of the accumulating snow in the southeast has
also diminished. Snow will continue to taper off from west to
east by midnight. Some drizzle is possible, but temperatures are
above freezing most of the area and near 32 north of Madison.

Expect IFR with some LIFR cigs overnight into Saturday morning
due to light winds and lingering low level moisture. Patchy fog is
likely which could be IFR visibility, but confidence is low on
coverage.

&&

MARINE...

The south to southeast winds ahead of the trough of low pressure
will diminish. Any remaining gusts to remain below 22kts.

The next storm system to pass far to the northwest of the area on
Sunday will bring strong winds from Sunday afternoon through Monday
night. Gale force southwest then west gusts are possible on Monday.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 308 PM CST Fri Dec 23 2016/

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...Forecast confidence is
high.

Nothing has really changed for this period. The powerful low
pressure system will still track well northwest of the area,
across northern Minnesota. This puts us well into the warm sector,
and rain. The initial moisture surge well out ahead of the low
could bring a period of freezing drizzle later Saturday night and
Sunday morning. This will be pretty light with impact on the
minimal side. We then warm up enough to keep it all rain until the
associated trough/cold front sweeps late Sunday night/Monday
morning. Fog is still a concern with the mild and moist airmass
flowing in across the existing snowpack for Saturday night into
Sunday, but the brisk winds will limit how dense it gets. There
is little or no elevated CAPE on the soundings, so decided to pull
the mention of thunder.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...Forecast confidence is medium.

High pressure should keep this period quiet. Temperatures will
fall in the wake of the departing low...but not too cold. Highs on
Monday and Tuesday will be in the mid to upper 20s, rising back
into the lower 30s on Wednesday. With the warmer temperatures on
Wednesday the European model does bring a surge of moisture and a
small chance of light snow to the area during the afternoon.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...Forecast confidence is medium.

The European model is a bit snowier looking than the GFS and the
Canadian for Wednesday night into early Thursday. They all have a
trough swinging through the Great Lakes, but the EC is a bit
deeper, more west and quicker with the returning moisture and
clips Wisconsin with snow before pushing quickly off to the east.
The GFS and Canadian keep the bulk of the snow east of Wisconsin
during the period. Given the uncertainty, there are small chances
of light snow during this period, but overall it looks pretty
quiet.

AVIATION/00Z TAFS/...

Moderate snow is ongoing over central WI, with the main area setting
up north and west of Madison. The back edge of the precip is over
eastern Iowa and this will translate east across southern WI with
stronger 700mb frontogenesis. Expect a period of steadier snow
between 4 and 7 pm in south central WI and 5 to 8 pm in southeast WI.
Visibilities should be down to less than a mile and a quick
additional inch of wet snow is possible. Snow will taper off from
west to east by midnight.

Expect cigs and vsbys to lower to IFR or lower during any steady,
moderate snow late this aftn and early evening. It looks like
ceilings are going to remain low overnight into Saturday morning due
to light winds and lingering low level moisture. Patchy fog is
likely which could be IFR visibility, but confidence is low on
coverage.

MARINE...

Increasing south to southeast winds ahead of an approaching low
pressure trof will get close to Small Craft Advisory levels later
this evening. However expecting most gusts to remain at or below
22kts for now. Mariners can expect light snow...possibly mixed with
rain...to spread into the area during the afternoon, ending later
tonight. Recent MODIS lake surface temperature image continues to
show temperatures mostly in the mid to upper 30s.  Hi res vsbl image
from Thursday not showing much ice buildup along the shore.

The next storm system to pass far to the northwest of the area on
Sunday will bring strong winds from Sunday afternoon through Monday
night. Gale force southwest then west gusts are possible on Monday.
