Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
541 PM CST Sun Mar 5 2017

.UPDATE...

Southern Wisconsin is in one of the GOES 16 meso sectors. The 0.5
km 1 min visible 0.64 micron loop allows one to see the
distribution of Altocumulus, Stratocumulus and cirrus, even with
the cirrus being fairly extensive.

.AVIATION/00Z TAFS/...

MVFR cigs associated with a developing low pressure system are
still mainly across south and west Iowa, so VFR conditions will
hang on into the early evening. late this evening, most guidance
has the lower levels moistening with the brisk south flow, so MVFR
conditions appear likely throughout most of the area. Some models
are hinting at some very light precipitation overnight, so can't
rule out some drizzle in the area. Additionally, borderline LLWS
conditions are expected tonight as 2kft winds will get up to 35 to
40kts.

Cigs may lower to IFR as Showers will move in from the west
Monday, with the best precipitation chances beginning Monday
afternoon. Some showers may make it to MKE by 00z Tue, but highest
confidence in precip along Lake Michigan is after 00z.

2 thsd ft winds increase early Monday night, resulting in low
level wind shear, even with surface winds increasing.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 323 PM CST Sun Mar 5 2017/

TONIGHT...Forecast Confidence High. Developing low pressure over
the High Plains will continue to pump low level moisture in from
the south through the night. This will keep skies cloudy and temps
from falling very much. Despite modest forcing in the upper
levels, all that moisture and WAA down low is enough to keep a
mention of drizzle in the forecast. Fog is also likely, especially
over the melting snowpack in our north.

MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...Forecast Confidence Medium. The low
pressure system will continue to rapidly intensify as it moves
from the western Dakotas to western Manitoba. This rapid
intensification will result strong southerly winds throughout the
lower levels over much of Wisconsin. Overcast skies should keep
most of the strongest winds from mixing down to the surface, but
some guidance has winds at 925mb up to 50kts by 00z Tue.

All this wind will result in WAA and strong moisture return through
the day, with PWATs over 1" across the area by Monday afternoon.
Additionally, deep layer wind shear will be strong, with 0-6km bulk
shear vectors approaching 50kts. This will all be in place as a a
cold front and strong short wave sweep through southern Wisconsin on
Monday night. This moisture, forcing, and wind shear sets the table
for potentially severe convection. However, instability will be
limited in Wisconsin, with MUCAPE around 500 j/kg at best. SPC has
included our extreme southwest CWA in a slight risk and the western
half in a marginal risk. This seems appropriate given the limited
instability.

The best chances of showers and storms are on Monday night as the
front moves through, though the WAA and perhaps a subtle shortwave
ahead of the front may be enough to support isolated to scattered
showers and storms Monday afternoon.

TUESDAY...Forecast confidence is high.

Exceptionally deep mixing on Tuesday with steep lapse rates up to
600-500mb, or about 15kft, will result in a very windy/gusty
scenario in the wake of the passing surface front and mid level
trough. Based on wind profiles, we should be able to mix down some
40 to 45 mph west to southwest wind gusts in the afternoon. This
is near or at wind advisory criteria. It's too early for a
headline at this point, but we'll be watching this to see if the
system maintains strength. Clearing skies with temps reaching
around 50F will only help with the deep mixing.

TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...Forecast confidence is high.

A secondary cold front will drop through the area Tuesday night as
a very deep low pressure system continues to lift northeast toward
Hudson Bay, Canada. We will remain in a rather tight pressure
gradient, resulting in brisk west to northwest winds Wednesday.
Temps cool into the upper 30s to lower 40s.

THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...Forecast confidence is medium.

The GFS and the ECMWF show a surge of warm air advection pushing
through the area on Thursday. They also show some corresponding sfc
cyclogenesis with a weak low pushing through the southern Great
lakes. For now, it looks like the better deep saturation and precip
with this system will stay just north of the forecast area. That
is subject to change and we could see some light precip here. For
now, keeping it out.

Late Friday through Saturday looks like a better chance of some
light snow or a wintry mix. The guidance shows a decent enough mid
level wave and surface low passing through. Temp profiles support
mainly light snow Friday night into Saturday morning,
transitioning over to a rain/snow mix Saturday afternoon before
ending by evening.

AVIATION/18Z TAFS/...

MVFR cigs associated with a developing low pressure system are
still about half a state to our west, so VFR conditions will hang
on through the day. By this evening, most guidance has the lower
levels moistening as that low approaches, so IFR conditions appear
likely throughout most of the area. Some models are hinting at
some very light precipitation overnight, so can't rule out some
drizzle in the area. Additionally, borderline LLWS conditions are
expected tonight as 2kft winds will get up to 35 to 40kts.
However, expecting surface winds to remain near 10kts, so chose to
leave LLWS out of TAFs for now.

Showers will move in from the west Monday, with the best
precipitation chances beginning Monday afternoon. Some showers may
make it to MKE by 00z Tue, but highest confidence in precip along
Lake Michigan is after 00z.

MARINE...

A Small Craft Advisory is in effect until 6 PM today.

Winds should briefly relax this afternoon before picking back up on
Monday as low pressure passes to the northwest. Another SCA will be
needed Monday as it still looks like wind gusts should stay just
below gale force, through a few gusts may occasionally sneak into
the 35-40kt range. Winds will remain strong through Wednesday.
