AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
932 PM CDT FRI APR 8 2016

.UPDATE...

HAVE CANCELLED ALL BUT JEFFERSON...WAUKESHA AND MILWAUKEE
COUNTIES FORM THE ADVISORY WITH THESE COUNTIES EXPIRING AT 10 PM.
BAND OF INTENSE SNOW SHOWERS AND MESO-LOW CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE
SOUTH SO WILL ALLOW THE REST OF THE ADVISORY TO EXPIRE AT 10 PM.

WHILE THE MORE INTENSE SNOW SHOWERS WILL STILL REDUCE VSBYS TO
1/2 MILE IN THE SOUTHERN-MOST COUNTIES...THE FASTER SPEED OF THE
BAND WILL MEAN LESS RESIDENCE TIME OVER ANY PARTICULAR
LOCATION...REDUCING THE CHANCES FOR ACCUMULATIONS AND WIDESPREAD
ROAD PROBLEMS. HAVE ISSUED AN SPS TO COVER THE POTENTIAL FOR
SCATTERED SLIPPERY SPOTS IN THE MORE INTENSE SNOW SHOWERS.

&&

.AVIATION/06Z TAFS/...

CURRENT INTENSE BANDS OF SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE OUT OF THE AREA
BY 11 PM...BUT WILL BE SEEING SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS WITH MVFR
CIGS/VSBYS UNTIL MIDNIGHT...ESPECIALLY IN THE EAST. CONDITIONS
IMPROVE AFTER THAT WITH VFR CIGS AND VSBYS. GUSTY NORTH TO
NORTHEAST WINDS WILL ALSO DIMINISH FROM WEST TO EAST WITH CLEARING
SKIES AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR SATURDAY.

VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE END OF THE FORECAST AS MIXED
PRECIPITATION WITH WARM ADVECTION REMAINS WEST OF KMSN THROUGH
06Z...THOUGH IT WILL RAPIDLY OVERSPREAD SOUTHERN WISCONSIN
BETWEEN 06Z AND 12Z SUNDAY

&&

.MARINE...

SO FAR ONLY SHEBOYGAN AND KENOSHA MARINE OB SITES HAVE HIT GALE
CRITERIA BUT EXPECT GALE GUSTS ARE OCCURRING IN THE NEARSHORE
WATERS...ESPECIALLY CLOSER TO THE OPEN WATERS OF THE LAKE. NO
CHANGE TO GOING HEADLINE...BUT WILL BE ISSUING A SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY ONCE THE GALE THREAT HAS ENDED.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 335 PM CDT FRI APR 8 2016/

TONIGHT AND SATURDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE - MEDIUM.

WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY CONTINUES FOR FOND DU LAC AND SHEBOYGAN
COUNTIES UNTIL 03Z SATURDAY. THIS AREA SHOULD SEE CONTINUED MODERATE
SNOW SHOWERS INTO EARLY THIS EVENING. THIS WILL BE DRIVEN BY
SOUTHWARD MOVING SURFACE COLD FRONT AND DECENT LOW LEVEL
FRONTOGENESIS RESPONSE FIELDS. IN ADDITION...THERE IS A STRONG 500
MB VORTICITY MAXIMUM SLIDING SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE AREA...PROVIDING
ADDITIONAL UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION.

AREA FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUPPORT CONTINUED STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE
RATES THAT ARE MOIST AND WITHIN THE DENDRITE SNOW CRYSTAL GROWTH
ZONE INTO THIS EVENING. MESOSCALE MODELS INDICATE THAT THE MODERATE
SNOW SHOWERS MAY PIVOT ACROSS FOND DU LAC AND SHEBOYGAN COUNTIES AS
THEY SHIFT SOUTHWARD INTO THIS AREA...HELPING ENHANCE SNOWFALL
DURATION AND INTENSITY.

SNOWFALL RATES MAY REACH 1 INCH PER HOUR IN THE HEAVIEST SNOW
SHOWERS...WITH AN ADDITIONAL 1 TO 2 INCHES TOTAL BY MIDDLE EVENING
IN THESE AREAS. SOME MELTING ON ROADS WILL OCCUR...MAKING FOR A
SLUSHY EVENING COMMUTE IN THESE AREAS. IN ADDITION...THE GUSTY
NORTHWEST WINDS WILL QUICKLY SHIFT NORTH TO NORTHEAST BEHIND THE
FRONT LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. THIS MAY COMBINE WITH
THE SNOW SHOWERS TO REDUCE VISIBILITIES TO 1 MILE OR LESS.

THE MODERATE SNOW SHOWERS SHOULD AFFECT THE REST OF SOUTHEAST AND
PORTIONS OF SOUTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN THROUGH THE MIDDLE EVENING
HOURS. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO PERHAPS 2 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE IN
FAR EASTERN AREAS...AND LOWER TO THE WEST AND SOUTH. THE MILDER
TEMPERATURES AND ROAD TEMPERATURES HERE MAY LIMIT THE IMPACT OF THE
SNOW AND LEAVE JUST WET ROADS.

FOR NOW...ISSUED A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT FOR THE COMBINATION OF
THE MODERATE SNOW SHOWERS...GUSTY WINDS AND REDUCED VISIBILITIES
DURING THE LATER PORTIONS OF THE EVENING COMMUTE. EVENING SHIFT WILL
NEED TO MONITOR TRENDS HERE...AND EVALUATE NEED TO EXPAND ADVISORY
SOUTHWARD IF CONDITIONS DETERIORATE MORE THAN ANTICIPATED THROUGH
EARLY THIS EVENING.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN SHIFT SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE REGION LATER
TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY. THIS WILL BRING CLEARING SKIES LATER
TONIGHT...AND DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH SATURDAY. SOME MIDDLE TO HIGH
CLOUDS MAY MOVE INTO THE AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON. COLD TEMPERATURES
ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT AND SATURDAY...WELL BELOW SEASONAL NORMALS.

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE - MEDIUM.

MAIN FOCUS OF THIS PERIOD ON MIXED PRECIP EXPECTED SATURDAY NIGHT
INTO SUNDAY MORNING AND SMALL THREAT OF THUNDER. STRONG MOISTURE
FLUX CONVERGENCE IS EXPECTED SATURDAY NIGHT ACROSS SOUTHERN
WISCONSIN AS LOW LEVEL JET OF 50-55 KNOTS PIVOTS ACROSS THE AREA.
COLUMN PRECIPITABLE WATER INCREASES RAPIDLY FROM LESS THAN ONE
QUARTER INCH TO OVER THREE QUARTERS INCH BY 12Z/SUN.  LOW LEVEL
LAYER Q-VECTOR CONVERGENCE INCREASES TO IMPRESSIVE 20-30 UNITS DUE
TO STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION.  HENCE EXPECT SWATH OF PRECIPITATION
TO AFFECT SRN WI FROM AFTER 06Z/SUN INTO SUN MRNG.  CRITICAL
THICKNESSES AND FORECAST SOUNDINGS FAVOR MOSTLY SNOW DEVELOPING
ACROSS ERN CWA TRANSITIONING TO FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET OVER THE
WEST BETWEEN 06Z AND 09Z.  INITIAL SURGE OF WARM AIR WILL GO TO
MOISTENING LAYER SO ATMOSPHERIC PROFILE MAY TURN OUT TO FAVOR MORE
OF A INITIAL SURGE OF SNOW.  HENCE BUMPED UP SNOWFALL OVER EASTERN
AREAS TO 1-2 INCH RANGE OVER WPC DETERMINISTIC VALUES NEAR ZERO.
PERIOD OF FREEZING RAIN...SLEET AND SNOW MAY RESULT IN NEEDED A
WINTER WX ADVY FOR A TIME DUE TO LIKELY SLICK ROADS AND REDUCED
VISIBILITIES IN SNOW.

POSSIBLE THAT SOME T COULD ACCOMPANY THE SURGE OF WARM AIR SATURDAY
NIGHT DUE TO STRENGTH OF MOISTURE RETURN...HOWEVER ELEVATED
INSTABILITY QUITE LOW AND STEEPER LAPSE RATES WELL ALOFT. HENCE HELD
OFF ON INTRODUCING THUNDER AT THIS POINT.  DID ADD THUNDER TO FAR
SRN CWA LATER SUNDAY AS COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH SRN WI.  WEAKLY
ELEVATED CAPE INCREASES TO OVER 200 100 J ACROSS THE SOUTH.

FRONTAL BOUNDARY EXITS SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN SUNDAY NIGHT ENDING
SHOWER THREAT WITH CLEARING BUT CHILLY CONDITIONS LIKELY FOR MONDAY.

EXTENDED PERIOD...

MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY...FORECAST CONFIDENCE - MEDIUM.

NORTHWEST STEERING FLOW AT THE MID-LEVELS WILL CONTINUE TO BRING
BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES THROUGH MID-WEEK.  HOWEVER FAIRLY QUIET
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AS A LARGE AREA OF SLOW-MOVING HIGH PRESSURE
MOVES THROUGH THE WESTERN GTLAKES THROUGH WEDNESDAY.  THE LOW LEVEL
WINDS WILL BECOME MORE SOUTHERLY AS THE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE SLIDES
OFF TO THE EAST FOR THE LATER PART OF THE WEEK.  THIS WILL RESULT IN
A SLOW WARMUP TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK...WITH DAYTIME TEMPERATURES
RISING TO NEAR OR ABOVE SEASONAL NORMAL BY FRIDAY AND THE WEEKEND
AND DRY CONDITIONS CONTINUING.

APPEAR THE COLD AIR WILL RETREAT NORTHWARD INTO CANADA AS SEVERAL
LONG WAVE TROFS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE WESTERN U.S. THROUGH
NEXT WEEKEND. THE CPC OUTLOOKS MAINTAIN NEAR OR ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES THEN CONTINUING THROUGH THE THIRD FULL WEEK OF APRIL.

AVIATION/00Z TAFS/...

EXPECT LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW SHOWERS TO CONTINUE ACROSS TAF SITES
LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO MIDDLE EVENING. A COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE
SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE AREA DURING THIS TIME...HELPING DRIVE THE SNOW
SHOWERS. VISIBILITIES OF 1 TO 2 MILES ARE EXPECTED...WITH 1/2 TO 3/4
MILE VISIBILITIES POSSIBLE IN THE HEAVIER SNOW SHOWERS. CEILINGS
SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE 3000 FEET ABOVE GROUND LEVEL. COULD STILL SEE
2000 FOOT CEILINGS IN ANY HEAVIER SNOW SHOWERS.

SNOWFALL RATES OF A TENTH TO 1/4 INCH PER HOUR ARE POSSIBLE AT THE
EASTERN SITES...WITH HIGHER RATES OF 1/2 TO 3/4 INCH PER HOUR IN THE
HEAVIEST SNOW SHOWERS. TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO PERHAPS 2
INCHES ARE EXPECTED AT THE EASTERN SITES...AND UP TO AN INCH AT
MADISON. ACCUMULATIONS SHOULD BE MAINLY ON GRASSY AREAS...WITH
RUNWAYS REMAINING JUST WET.

GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS SHOULD VEER QUICKLY NORTH TO NORTHEAST FOR A
TIME LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING...AS THE COLD FRONT
MOVES SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA. GUSTY NORTH WINDS ARE THEN EXPECTED
LATER THIS EVENING...BACKING NORTHWEST TO WEST LATER TONIGHT INTO
SATURDAY AND WEAKENING.

CLOUDS SHOULD MOVE OUT OF THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST LATER
TONIGHT...WITH SOME MIDDLE TO HIGH CLOUDS POSSIBLE SATURDAY.

EXPECTED TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING.

THE WINDS WILL BE MAINLY NORTH LATER TONIGHT...BEFORE BACKING
NORTHWEST SATURDAY MORNING AND WEAKENING. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY
WILL BE NEEDED AFTER 06Z SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY MORNING...UNTIL THE
