Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
1104 AM CST Sun Dec 3 2017

.UPDATE...

Cirrus will spread across and thicken across southern Wisconsin
this afternoon.

&&

.AVIATION(18Z TAFS)...

VFR conditions are expected through at least 06z tonight. High
pressure over the ohio River valley at the beginning of the TAF
period will gradually slip off to the east with deepening low
pressure from the Central Plains to southern Minnesota.
Increasing south winds this afternoon and especially tonight into
Monday morning will bring a surge of moisture north into the area
late tonight and Monday. Rain will develop quickly across
southern Wisconsin after 06z tonight. We could see a few
thunderstorms as well with the moisture return. MVFR conditions
will likely begin overspreading the area after 09z Monday morning.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 1023 AM CST Sun Dec 3 2017)

UPDATE...

Cirrus will spread across southern Wisconsin this afternoon.

MARINE...

Dangerous conditions will develop across Lake Michigan Monday
through Tuesday as a powerful low pressure system tracks from
eastern Nebraska/South Dakota to north of Lake Superior between
tonight and Tuesday morning. A small craft advisory goes into
effect later this evening, ramping up to gale force conditions
Monday afternoon into Tuesday evening, then diminishing back to
small craft conditions through Wednesday. The strongest winds will
occur Monday night in the wake of a strong cold front that will
sweep across the nearshore waters later Monday evening. Wind gusts
will approach 40kts at times. A gale watch is in effect starting
at 3 pm CST Monday.

PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 448 AM CST Sun Dec 3 2017)

UPDATE...

No change to the forecast just issued. Temps continue to radiate
out early this morning with sensitivity to the usual low spots.

AVIATION(12Z TAFS)...

VFR conditions are expected through at least 06z Monday. High
pressure at the beginning of the TAF period will gradually slip
off to the east with deepening low pressure approaching the area
late in the TAF period. Increasing southerly winds later this
afternoon and especially tonight into Monday morning will bring a
surge of moisture north into the area tonight and Monday. Low
level wind shear will become a concern by 03z Monday and continue
into Monday morning. Rain will develop quickly across southern
Wisconsin after 06z Monday and continue through the remainder of
the TAF period. We could see a few thunderstorms as well with the
moisture return. MVFR conditions will likely begin overspreading
the area after 09z Monday, remaining low through Monday. However,
the far southeast may stay VFR through Monday morning in the warm
sector ahead the approaching cold front.

PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 250 AM CST Sun Dec 3 2017)

SHORT TERM...

Today...Forecast confidence is high.

A surface high pressure ridge will be centered over southern
Wisconsin at sunrise, moving off to the east by this afternoon.
Calm winds early will become south to southeast and gradually
increase as a strengthening low pressure system approaches from
the west. Another very mild December day is in store for the area
with highs climbing into the lower and mid 50s under plenty of
sunshine into at least the early part of the afternoon.

Tonight through Monday...Forecast confidence is high:

Strengthening low pressure will approach tonight and move by to
the north Monday into Monday night. Southerly winds ahead of the
low will result in slowly warming temps tonight and well above
normal temps on Monday.

Showers will develop ahead of the low tonight, mainly after
midnight. Some thunder is possible with this round of showers into
Monday morning. Looks like a break in precip most places later
Monday morning into early afternoon, with more showers and a few
storms arriving along/ahead of the cold front Monday afternoon and
evening. Rain should wind down by late evening.

Winds are expected to be quite gusty Monday into Monday night.
It's a bit tricky nailing down higher gusty potential during the
day Monday given expected clouds and precip. The dry period prior
to the arrival of the front may provide of a period of good
enough mixing for some gusts of 35 to 40 mph. Winds could then
gust to around 45 mph Monday evening into Monday night, with more
mixing likely behind the cold front. May end up needing a Wind
Advisory for this period, most likely with the winds behind the
front, though not out of question ahead of the front.

LONG TERM...

Tuesday through Saturday...Forecast confidence is high:

A much colder pattern will arrive from Tuesday through the end of
the week. Multiple waves will bring reinforcing shots of colder
air through this period. The waves still look very lacking in
moisture, so kept the forecast dry for the most part. Wouldn't be
surprised by a few snowflakes or maybe a dusting as the waves
move through, but still not seeing anything significant in the
models.

AVIATION(09Z TAFS)...

VFR conditions are expected through at least 06z Monday. High
pressure at the beginning of the TAF period will gradually slip
off to the east with deepening low pressure approaching the area
late in the TAF period. Increasing southerly winds later this
afternoon and especially tonight into Monday morning will bring a
surge of moisture north into the area tonight and Monday. Rain
will develop quickly across southern Wisconsin after 06z Monday
and continue through the remainder of the TAF period. We could see
a few thunderstorms as well with the moisture return. MVFR
conditions will likely begin overspreading the area after 09z
Monday.

MARINE...

Dangerous conditions will develop across Lake Michigan Monday
through Tuesday as a powerful low pressure system tracks from
eastern Nebraska/South Dakota to north of Lake Superior between
tonight and Tuesday morning. A small craft advisory goes into
effect later this evening, ramping up to gale force conditions
Monday afternoon into Tuesday evening, then diminishing back to
small craft conditions through Wednesday. The strongest winds will
occur Monday night in the wake of a strong cold front that will
sweep across the nearshore waters later Monday evening. Wind gusts
will approach 40kts at times.
