AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
356 AM CDT SUN APR 3 2016

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

STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION AHEAD OF APPROACHING LOW PRESSURE
PRODUCING WIDESPREAD MID-LEVEL CLOUDS ACROSS CWA EARLY THIS
MORNING. COLUMN REMAINS DRY BELOW THESE MID-CLOUDS.
HOWEVER...SLIGHTLY BETTER SYNOPTIC FORCING MAY CLIP NORTHEAST
CWA SO WL INCLUDE SMALL POPS THIS MRNG.

UPSTREAM LOW OVER NRN PLAINS WILL MOVE ACROSS MN AND ACROSS SRN
WI TODAY. RAPIDLY TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THIS LOW
AND DEPARTING RIDGE WL CONTRIBUTE TO ANOTHER BLUSTERY DAY ACROSS
MOST OF CWA. STRONGEST WINDS ASSOCIATED WITH BEST LOW LEVEL MIXING
WL AGAIN OCCUR ACROSS SRN TIER OF COUNTIES FROM KMRJ TO KENW AND
KRAC. HOWEVER...THESE LOW LEVEL WINDS DO NOT LOOK AS STRONG AS
YESTERDAY. WIND GUSTS MAY REACH 35 TO 40 MPH IN THE LATE MRNG AND
AFTN...SO WL HOLD OFF ON WIND ADVY.

EXPECT CURRENT MID-CLOUDS TO THIN DURING THE MORNING...AS LOW
APPROACHES RESULTING IN BETTER LOW LEVEL MIXING. 925H TEMPS STILL
LOOK TO WARM INTO THE 10 TO 15C RANGE. CLOUDS AND COOLER SOUTHEAST
BREEZES LOOK TO PERSIST THE LONGEST IN NORTHEAST CWA...SO STILL
EXPECT A LARGE HIGH TEMPERATURE GRADIENT ACROSS CWA TODAY...FROM
THE LOWER 40S IN THE NORTHEAST...TO THE MID 60S IN THE SOUTHWEST.

SHORT TERM GUIDANCE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON CARRYING SFC LOW ACROSS
SRN WI THIS AFTN AND EARLY EVENING. HOWEVER 85H LOW LEVEL
CIRCULATION REMAINS FARTHER NORTH...SO EXPECT MORE WIDESPREAD
AFTN PRECIP EXPECTED TO THE NORTH. SHORT TERM GUIDANCE A BIT
BULLISH ON BUMPING UP DEWPTS INTO THE 40S. LOOKING
UPSTREAM...UNSURE WHERE THIS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS COMING FROM
AND BULK OF YESTERDAYS SNOWFALL HAS MELTED.

HOWEVER WL INCLUDE SMALL POPS FOR -SHRA THIS AFTN AND EVE OVER
PORTIONS OF THE CWA...AS SFC COLD FRONT AND MODERATE LOW LEVEL
FRONTOGENESIS PASSES THRU SRN WI. WL INCLUDE SMALL T THREAT AS
WELL IN THE SOUTHEAST AS FRONT PASSES THRU IN THE EARLY EVE.

COLDER AIR ABRUPTLY RETURNS TONIGHT...CARRYING LOW CLOUDS ALONG
WITH IT. DELTA-T INCREASES TO 13 DEGREES LATER TONIGHT WITH LAKE
INDUCED CAPE OVER 100 J. HOWEVER NOT SEEING MUCH CONVERGENCE AND
LIFT. WITH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONFINED BELOW 3K FEET...WL ONLY
CARRY SCHC POPS FOR A -SHSN NEAR THE LAKE LATE TONIGHT.

.MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM.

MODELS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH HIGH PRESSURE MOVING
EASTWARD ACROSS THE REGION MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. THIS SHOULD
RESULT IN A PERIOD OF DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE AREA. AREA
FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THAT LOW CLOUDS WILL LINGER
MONDAY...BEFORE MOVING OUT MONDAY NIGHT.

THERE REMAINS FAVORABLE FETCH AND DELTA T VALUES FOR LAKE EFFECT
CLOUDS AND LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS MONDAY NEAR LAKE MICHIGAN.
HOWEVER...MOISTURE IS LACKING BEYOND THIN LOW CLOUD DECK...WITH
LITTLE MOISTURE ABOVE THE INVERSION. SO...KEPT FORECAST DRY
MONDAY...WITH SOME LAKE EFFECT CLOUDS NEAR THE LAKE.

COLD TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED MONDAY...WITH LOWER TO MID 30S
NEAR LAKE MICHIGAN...AND UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S INLAND. LOWS IN
THE MID 20S ARE EXPECTED MONDAY NIGHT.

MODELS ARE SHOWING A SWATH OF WARM AIR ADVECTION AND MOISTURE
ADVECTION VIA LOW LEVEL JET INTO THE AREA TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND
NIGHT. THIS OCCURS AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES EASTWARD INTO THE
REGION. THERE ARE SOME DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE MODELS WITH THE
EXACT LOW TRACK.

HOWEVER...MODELS DO AGREE ON SATURATION OF A FAIRLY DEEP PORTION
OF THE AIR COLUMN TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT...WITH GOOD UPWARD
VERTICAL MOTION FIELDS. LOW LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS RESPONSE WITH THE
WARM FRONT DEVELOPS TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH SEVERAL 500 MB VORTICITY
MAXIMA MOVING THROUGH THE AREA...AHEAD OF THE MAIN SHORTWAVE
TROUGH.

KEPT TRENDING UPWARDS WITH POPS TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND
NIGHT...WITH PRECIPITATION REMAINING LIQUID WITH THE WARM AIR
ADVECTION. GUSTY SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WINDS ARE ALSO ANTICIPATED
TUESDAY AFTERNOON...LINGERING IN THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES TUESDAY
NIGHT.

.WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS MEDIUM.

ECMWF/GFS SHOW THE MAIN 500 MB SHORTWAVE TROUGH SHIFTING EAST
SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE REGION WEDNESDAY...EXITING WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. GFS FORECAST SOUNDINGS REMAIN FAIRLY MOIST ON WEDNESDAY.
KEPT LIKELY POPS FOR RAIN SHOWERS ON WEDNESDAY ACROSS THE AREA.
HIGHS SHOULD CLIMB MORE TOWARD SEASONAL NORMALS...IN THE UPPER 40S
TO LOWER 50S.

ECMWF/GFS THEN DIFFER WITH TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF NEXT 500 MB
SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT
INTO THURSDAY. THE GFS BRINGS A WELL DEVELOPED 500 MB SHORTWAVE
TROUGH AND SURFACE LOW SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE REGION DURING
THIS PERIOD...WITH A DECENT AMOUNT OF QPF.

THE ECMWF KEEPS THIS SYSTEM TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THE AREA...AND
SOMEWHAT WEAKER THAN THE GFS. WILL CONTINUE TO GO WITH CONSENSUS
BLENDED POPS FOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY ACROSS THE AREA.
COLDER TEMPERATURES MOVING BACK INTO THE REGION DURING THIS TIME
MAY BRING A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS MAINLY LATER WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING.

THESE MODELS DO BRING SOME LIGHT QPF SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE AREA
THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY...WITH A STRONG BUT SHEARED 500 MB
VORTICITY MAXIMUM. KEPT LOWER END POPS DURING THIS TIME.
TEMPERATURES SHOULD REMAIN BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS DURING THIS
TIME...ALLOWING FOR A MIX OR ALL SNOW SHOWERS LATER THURSDAY
NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE THEN BRINGS QUIET
WEATHER FRIDAY NIGHT...WITH WARM AIR ADVECTION TRYING TO DEVELOP
FOR SATURDAY.

&&

.AVIATION/12Z TAFS/...

VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TODAY. HOWEVER...ANOTHER BLUSTERY DAY IS
EXPECTED. STRONGEST WINDS WILL AFFECT KENW...WITH POTENTIAL FOR
GUSTS OF 30 TO 35KTS THIS AFTN. THERE IS ALSO A SMALL CHANCE FOR T
AT KENW LATE THIS AFTN AND EARLY EVE...AS LOW PRESSURE AND COLD
FRONT PASS THRU. EXPECT LOW CLOUDS TO OVERSPREAD REGION
OVERNIGHT...AS LOW LEVEL COLD AIR SPREADS IN FROM THE NORTH. A
FEW FLURRIES MAY GET SHAKEN OUT OF THE CLOUDS NEAR THE LAKE LATE
TONIGHT.

&&

.MARINE...

UPSTREAM LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK TOWARD SOUTHERN WI TODAY. A
TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW AND PARTIAL
CLEARING WILL ALLOW STRONG LOW LEVEL MIXING OVER THE SHORE AREAS
LATER THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON. GUSTS MAY REACH GALE
WARNING LEVELS SOUTH OF WIND POINT...WHERE THE TIGHTEST PRESSURE
GRADIENT IS EXPECTED.

HENCE...UPGRADED ONGOING SMALL CRAFT ADVY TO GALE WARNING FOR
THIS AREA. LEFT SMALL CRAFT GOING FARTHER NORTH...WITH EXCEPTION
OF NORTH OF PORT WASHINGTON...WHERE PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS
WEAKEST AND LESS LOW LEVEL MIXING IS EXPECTED.

ABRUPT WIND SHIFT WILL OCCUR LATE THIS AFTN AND EVE...AS WINDS
QUICKLY TURN NORTH TO NORTHEAST AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES SOUTH OF
LAKE MI. STRONG LOW LEVEL COLD AIR SURGE WILL RESULT IN WIND GUSTS
UP TO 30 KNOTS OVERNIGHT...SO EXPANDED SMALL CRAFT ADVY FOR
LMZ644 AND 645 TO RUN THRU 15Z/MON. ALSO WILL HAVE LMZ643 SC.Y
START UP AT 00Z. ONCE GALE FORCE GUSTS END LATE AFTN OR EARLY
EVE...THEN LMZ646 WL NEED TO BE ADDED TO SC.Y AS WELL.
