AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
958 PM CDT WED MAR 16 2016

.UPDATE...WIDELY SCT SPRINKLES OR SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE FOR MUCH
OF THE NIGHT AS WEAK VORTICITY MAXIMUMS ROTATE AROUND THE
OCCLUSION WITHIN AN ENVIRONMENT OF STEEP LAPSE RATES. EVAPORATIVE
COOLING WILL ENHANCE THE WIND GUSTS WITHIN THE HIGH BASED SHOWERS.

THE OCCLUDED LOW WILL CONTINUE TO FILL OVER THE NRN GREAT LAKES
TNT AND THU BUT WIND GUSTS UP TO 25 KTS ARE STILL EXPECTED FOR
THU. THE STEEP LAPSE RATES AND THE APPROACH OF THE WEAKENING W-E
UPPER TROUGH WILL MAINTAIN CHANCES FOR LGT INSTABILITY SHOWERS THU
INTO THU NT.

&&

.AVIATION/06Z TAFS/...SCT-BKN050-070 AND ISOLD TO SCT LIGHT
SHOWERS OR SPRINKLES WILL CONTINUE FROM EARLY THU MORNING INTO

UNTIL WINDS EASE WITH A COMBINATION OF DEVELOPING NOCTURNAL
INVERSION AND RELAXING PRESSURE GRADIENT WITH TROUGH AXIS DROPPING
IN.

COLD ADVECTION DROPS 925 MB TEMPS 3C TO 6C BY 12Z FRIDAY DEPENDING
ON MODEL...THEN MODIFY BACK UP A FEW DEGREES INLAND DURING THE DAY.
ENOUGH MOISTURE AND WEAK FRONTOGENETIC FORCING FOR SLIGHT CHANCE
POPS THURSDAY EVENING...WITH A RAIN SNOW MIX POSSIBLE AS TEMPS COOL

BY SATURDAY EVENING. GFS AND ECMWF...AND TO A LESSER EXTENT THE
CANADIAN GEMNH...BRING QPF UP ALONG AXIS OF INVERTED SURFACE TROUGH
TO THE SW WI BORDER WITH MN AND IA BY MIDDAY SATURDAY...BUT ONLY THE
GFS BRINGS ANY QPF INTO THE SW CWA. WILL FOLLOW CONSENSUS BLEND POPS
THAT BRING A SLIGHT CHANCE TO THE SW CORNER OF THE FORECAST AREA.

LACK EVEN A MINIMAL NOCTURNAL INVERSION WITH COLD ADVECTION...AND
INCREASING CLOUDS WITH THE APPROACH OF THE CLOSED LOW WILL KEEP
TEMPS ABOVE LOWS SUGGESTED BY -6C TO -7C 925 MB TEMPERATURES ACROSS

LINE WITH GFS IN KEEPING TUESDAY NIGHT DRY. BETTER CHANCES FOR PCPN
WEDNESDAY/WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH SURFACE LOW LIFTING ACROSS NRN IL/SRN
WI. STRONGER GFS BRINGS A GOOD CHANCE FOR MEASURABLE SNOW ACROSS NRN

FORECAST AREA. WILL SEE HOW LATER RUNS HANDLE THIS SYSTEM.

AVIATION/00Z TAFS/...

MAY SEE A FEW SHOWERS ACROSS THE SOUTH LATER THIS EVENING AND
