AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
921 PM CST WED FEB 24 2016

.UPDATE...

ALLOWED WIND ADVISORY TO EXPIRE AT 9 PM CST. STRONGEST PRESSURE
RISES BEHIND LOW PRESSURE OVER LAKE ERIE WILL PASS SOUTH OF WI
OVERNIGHT...HOWEVER LINGERING PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL CONTINUE TO
CAUSE BLUSTERY NORTH WINDS. THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL BE OVER
EASTERN CWA...ALONG LAKESHORE WHERE GUSTS TO 35 MPH WILL BE
POSSIBLE. WILL CONTINUE CHANCES FOR -SN ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST CWA
OVERNIGHT AS LINGERING MID-LEVEL DEFORMATION ZONES FLIRTS WITH
THIS AREA.

BUMPED UP TEMPS A DEGREE OR SO DUE TO THICKENING CLOUDS AND LOW
LEVEL MIXING.

&&

.AVIATION/06Z TAFS/...

PRIMARY CONCERN THIS EVENING IS SNOW SHOWERS JUST OFF
SHORE OVER LAKE MICHIGAN. THE LOW CAUSING THOSE SHOWERS IS GRADUALLY
MOVING OFF TO THE NORTHEAST...SO CONFIDENT THAT OTHER THAN A FEW
STRAY FLAKES HERE AND THERE...THE SNOW SHOULD MOSTLY STAY AWAY FROM
THE TAF SITES. CIGS AT MKE AND ENW SHOULD CONTINUE TO BOUNCE AROUND
3KFT THROUGH THE NIGHT. FURTHER INLAND...MOST SHORT TERM
GUIDANCE...ALONG WITH SOUNDINGS FROM THE SYNOPTIC SCALE
MODELS...INDICATE THAT CIGS AT MSN AND USE WILL FALL TO MVFR FROM
LATE TONIGHT THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING. HOWEVER...CIGS UPSTREAM ARE
STILL HANGING AROUND 3.5KFT...SO NOT CONFIDENT THAT MODELS HAVE A
GREAT HANDLE ON THIS SITUATION. SOUNDINGS SHOWING GUSTY WINDS
PERSISTING THROUGH THE NIGHT AND INTO TOMORROW.

MODELS SHOW GOOD AGREEMENT ABOUT MID-LEVELS REALLY DRY OUT TOMORROW.
LOW LEVELS WILL DRY OUT MORE SLOWLY...BUT GIVEN THE COLD AND DRY AIR
ADVECTION BEHIND THE DEPARTING LOW...EXPECT CLOUDS TO SCATTER OUT
TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

&&

.MARINE...WILL CONTINUE GALE WARNING THROUGH TONIGHT AS FREQUENT
WIND GUSTS OF 35 TO 40 KNOTS ARE EXPECTED OFF SHORE DUE TO TIGHT
PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE GREAT LAKES. LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
CAUSING TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT CURRENTLY NEAR LAKE ERIE WILL
CONTINUE TO TRACK NORTHEAST TONIGHT AND THURSDAY. MAY BE ABLE TO
DOWNGRADE GALE WARNING TO SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY EARLIER ON THURSDAY
AS WINDS SUBSIDE.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 513 PM CST WED FEB 24 2016/

UPDATE...FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING MUCH WEAKER AND MOVING OFF TO
THE EAST FAIRLY RAPIDLY EARLY THIS EVENING. GREAT LAKES RADAR
MOSAIC SHOWING DIMINISHING AREA OF DBZ OVER WESTERN AND CENTRAL
LAKE MI...UPSTREAM FROM RACINE AND KENOSHA AREAS. HENCE EXPECT
SNOWFALL TO REMAIN LESS THAN AN INCH IN EASTERN PARTS OF THOSE
COUNTIES. ALL MESOSCALE MODELS ALSO SHOWING ONLY VERY LIGHT
RETURNS AFFECTING SOUTHEAST WI THIS EVENING. HAVE ALREADY DROPPED
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY BUT WILL EXTEND WIND ADVISORY OVER
MILWAUKEE AND OZAUKEE COUNTIES SOUTHWARD AS POTENTIAL FOR
SUSTAINED WINDS OF 26 KNOTS AND GUSTS TO 39 KNOTS STILL POSSIBLE
THROUGH THE EVENING.

MARINE...

NO CHANGE TO ONGOING GALE WARNING. LAKESHORE LOCATIONS HAVE BEEN
REACHING GALE CRITERIA AT TIMES SINCE MID-MORNING. KNSW3 ON
KENOSHA LAKESHORE HAS REACHED GUSTS OF 40-41KTS SEVERAL TIMES THIS
AFTERNOON.  TIGHTEST PRESSURE GRADIENT ASSOCIATED WITH STRONG LOW
PRESSURE OVER EASTERN GREAT LAKES WILL AFFECT LAKE MICHIGAN
TONIGHT WITH GRADUAL LOOSENING ON THURSDAY.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 326 PM CST WED FEB 24 2016/

TONIGHT - CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM

WATER VAPOR/RAP ANIMATION SHOWS LARGE STORM SYSTEM HEADING
NORTHEAST. THE SURFACE REFLECTION REVEALS A 987 MB LOW CENTER IN
CNTRL OH CONTINUING TO HEAD NE IN THE DIRECTION OF LOWEST 3 HOUR
PRES FALLS. GRADIENT REMAINS TIGHT ACROSS SE WI SO POTENTIAL REMAINS
FOR ADVISORY LEVEL SUSTAINED WINDS. ADVISORY GUSTS NOT AS LIKELY BUT
HAVE HAD SOME GUSTS REACHING ADVISORY NEAR THE LAKESHORE. GFS AND
ECMWF CONTINUE TO BRUSH SE WI WITH LIGHT QPF WHILE THE NAM AND MESO
MODELS SHOW THIS BAND MAKING VERY LITTLE PROGRESS INTO SE WI.
FINALLY GETTING REPORTS OF LIGHT SNOW REACHING THE GROUND. INITIAL
BAND REALLY WIPED OUT HITTING THE DRY AIR BUT SECONDARY SURGE HAS
SUCCESSFULLY PIVOTED INTO SE WI FROM SRN LAKE MI. SO WILL RETAIN
HIGHER POPS IN THE SE WITH POTENTIAL FOR AN INCH OR TWO..BUT THE
TWO IS PROBABLY A STRETCH. SINCE THE TIMING W/RUSH HOUR AND THE
VERY STRONG WINDS WILL RETAIN THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY. WITH THE
CLOUD COVER AND WINDS STAYING UP HAVE NUDGED LOWS UP A SMIDGE.

THURSDAY - CONFIDENCE...MEDIUM

DAVA ASSOCIATED WITH APPCH MID LEVEL RIDGING TAKES HOLD DURG THE
MRNG HRS. GRADIENT PROGGD TO RELAX A BIT AS THE DAY WEARS ON.
LLVL RH PROGS AND GFS MOS SUGGEST SOME BREAKS TO THE CLOUD COVER.
SO WILL HINT AT THAT IN THE GRIDS. HOWEVER WITH -10 TO -12C 850
MILLIBAR THERMAL TROUGH ARRIVING EXTENSIVE CLEARING MAY BE HARD TO
COME BY WHICH THE NAM MOS AND BUFKIT LATCH ONTO.

THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS HIGH.

GOOD AGREEMENT AMONG THE DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE THIS PERIOD WITH
NORTHWEST FLOW PREVAILING ALOFT. SURFACE RIDGING INITIALLY OVER
THE CENTRAL GREAT PLAINS WILL SLIDE SOUTHEAST AND WEAKEN SLIGHTLY
WHILE CONSOLIDATING OVER THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI AND OHIO VALLEYS ON
FRIDAY. LOOK FOR COOLER TEMPERATURES THURSDAY NIGHT AS COLD
ADVECTION DROPS 850 MB TEMPERATURES TO AROUND MINUS 10 TO 12
CELSIUS. SOME MOISTURE LINGERS AROUND 900 MB SUGGESTING SCATTERED
TO BROKEN CLOUD COVER AT THIS HEIGHT THROUGH THE NIGHT. LOW
TEMPERATURES SHOULD STILL DROP INTO THE 20S AREA-WIDE DESPITE THE
CLOUDS. EXPECT A DECENT WARM-UP ON FRIDAY AS THE 850 MB FLOW TURNS
WESTERLY AND SOME WEAK WARM ADVECTION WORKS IN AT THE LOWER
LEVELS. 925 MB TEMPERATURES CLIMB TO AROUND MINUS 4 TO 5 DEGREES
CELSIUS...SUPPORTING HIGHS IN THE 30S GIVEN ATMOSPHERIC PROFILES
AND LOW-LEVEL WIND SPEEDS.

SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM.

NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT SATURDAY GRADUALLY TRANSITIONS TO SOUTHWEST
ON SUNDAY AS SHORTWAVE TROUGHING TRANSLATES THROUGH THE UPPER
MIDWEST AND WESTERN GREAT LAKES REGIONS. SURFACE PRESSURES WILL
BEGIN FALLING ON SATURDAY AS SURFACE LOW ORGANIZES OVER THE
NORTHERN ROCKIES. EXPECT THE SURFACE LOW TO ARC FROM THE NORTHERN
AND CENTRAL PLAINS SATURDAY EVENING...ACROSS SOUTHERN WISCONSIN ON
SUNDAY...AND INTO THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES SUNDAY EVENING. WARM
ADVECTION WHICH BEGAN FRIDAY NIGHT WILL CONTINUE SATURDAY MORNING
ALLOWING FOR A NICE WARM-UP. 925 TEMPERATURES OF 4 TO 5 DEG C ON
THE 24.12Z GFS AND 9 TO 10 ON THE 24.12Z ECMWF SUGGEST HIGHS
SATURDAY OF AT LEAST 45 T0 50...AND PERHAPS EVEN WARMER PER THE
ECMWF. TOOK A CONSENSUS BLEND FOR NOW...BUT MAY NEED TO BUMP HIGHS
UP A LITTLE GOING FORWARD.

WARM AND UNSETTLED CONDITIONS EXPECTED ON SUNDAY WITH THE LOW-
LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE BISECTING THE AREA. INCREASING JET-LEVEL
DIVERGENCE...LOW TO MID LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS...AND 700 TO 400 MB
DIFFERENTIAL CYCLONIC VORTICITY ADVECTION ALL POINT TOWARDS
SUFFICIENT SYNOPTIC-SCALE LIFT FOR PRECIPITATION BEGINNING SUNDAY
MORNING. THERE IS A SHORT PERIOD SUNDAY MORNING WHERE SURFACE
TEMPERATURES COULD SUPPORT A BRIEF MIX ACROSS OUR NORTH...BUT BY
AND LARGE THIS SHOULD BE AN ALL RAIN EVENT ON SUNDAY. EXPECT A
DECENT TEMPERATURE GRADIENT SUNDAY AFTERNOON...WITH HIGHS
RANGING FROM THE 40S NORTH TO LOWER 50S SOUTH. ONCE AGAIN THE
23.12Z ECMWF IS ON THE WARMER SIDE OF THE GUIDANCE ENVELOPE.
TEMPERATURES WILL TUMBLE BELOW FREEZING SUNDAY EVENING AS THE
FRONTAL ZONE SHIFTS SOUTH AND COLD ADVECTION COMMENCES.
PRECIPITATION TYPE SHOULD TRANSITION TO LIGHT SNOW SUNDAY NIGHT.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS LOW.

NORTHWEST FLOW ON MONDAY TRANSITIONS TO WESTERLY ON TUESDAY WITH
WEAK SHORTWAVE ENERGY SLIDING BY LARGELY TO OUR NORTH. SOME
GENERAL AGREEMENT IN SURFACE FEATURES ON MONDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE
TO OUR SOUTH AND WEAK TROUGHING TO OUR WEST AND NORTH. UNCERTAINTY
STILL EXISTS REGARDING TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF LIGHT PRECIPITATION
MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. WILL DEFER TO BLENDED MODEL CONSENSUS
POPS GIVEN THIS. TEMPERATURES APPEAR COLD ENOUGH FOR MOST OF THE
PRECIPITATION DURING THIS PERIOD TO FALL AS SNOW.
ANOTHER...STRONGER...LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM SHOULD PASS TO OUR SOUTH
ON WEDNESDAY. BOTH 24.12Z GFS AND 24.00Z ECMWF SOLUTIONS GENERATE
A DECENT QPF SWATH WITH THIS SYSTEM...HOWEVER THE ECMWF CONFINES
THIS PRECIPITATION TO OUR SOUTH OVER CENTRAL ILLINOIS. MORE
SUPPRESSED SOLUTION PERSISTS IN THE 24.12Z ECMWF DETERMINISTIC
RUN...WITH PRECIPITATION BARELY BRUSHING OUR SOUTHEASTERN BORDER.
NEEDLESS TO SAY...LOW CONFIDENCE IN PRECIPITATION FORECAST FOR
WEDNESDAY. FOR NOW...CONSENSUS POPS APPEAR THE WAY TO GO. PLENTY
OF TIME FOR THINGS TO COME INTO BETTER FOCUS AS WE HEAD FORWARD
HOWEVER.

AVIATION/00Z TAFS/...MAIN STORY IS STRONG NORTH/NORTHEAST WINDS
AROUND 988MB SFC LOW HEADING INTO OH VLY. SNOW AREA HAS MOVED INTO
FAR SE WI ARND KRAC AND KENW SO SOME IFR VSBYS EXPECTED ESP WITH
THE STRONGER WINDS CONTRIBUTING TO VSBY REDUCTION. MVFR CIGS
LIKELY WITH THIS BAND AND SOME OTHER MVFR CIGS NOTED ARND WI.
EXPECT THIS SNOW AREA TO PERSIST INTO AT LEAST MID EVENING THOUGH
BULK OF HEAVIEST SNOW LIKELY TO REMAIN OFFSHORE AND OFF TO THE
SOUTHEAST OF WI. LLVL RH/MOS GUID SUGGESTS SOME OF THESE MVFR CIGS
WILL HANG AROUND INTO TONIGHT WITH MORE OF A VFR DECK ON THURSDAY.
WINDS TO TURN MORE NNW AS LOW PULLS FURTHER AWAY.

MARINE...STRONG WINDS ARE EXPECTED INTO THURSDAY IN ASSOCIATION
WITH AN INTENSE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TRACKING FROM THE OHIO VALLEY
INTO THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT. A GALE WARNING
REMAINS IN PLACE FOR THE NEARSHORE WATERS THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING.
STORM FORCE WINDS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE OPEN WATERS.
