Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
228 AM CST Wed Feb 8 2017

.TODAY AND TONIGHT...Forecast confidence is high.

We'll be stuck between high pressure over the northern and central
plains and low pressure to the east.  The resulting northwest flow
will be cold compared to the mild conditions of the last few days. A
quick moving system producing snow over Iowa and Illinois will
remain south of the border today.  We'll stay on the cloudy side
through the day, with some clearing possible tonight as the ridge
pushes in.

.THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...Forecast Confidence...Medium to High

High pressure will move overhead on Thursday, bringing some
sunshine but at the cost of colder temperatures. Below normal
highs in the teens are expected across the forecast area.

Milder air will return quickly Thursday night into Friday as the
high departs. Some light snow is possible with the warm advection,
but models are keeping this mainly north of the forecast area.
Could see a little snow clip the northeast forecast area later
Thursday night into Friday morning.

.SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...Forecast Confidence...Medium

Models in decent agreement showing low pressure passing by to the
south Saturday into Saturday night. There are certainly
differences with strength/timing/placement of the low, but models
generally painting out the same story. Even with the low going by
to the south, temps look fairly mild across southern Wisconsin.
Models not showing a lot of precip with this system Sat afternoon
into Sunday morning, but looking like a good chance that much of
it would fall as rain. Could see a little snow mix in, but no
signs of anything accumulating at this time.

.MONDAY AND TUESDAY...Forecast Confidence...High

Consensus of models suggest high pressure and continued above
normal temperatures early next week.

&&

.AVIATION/12Z TAFS/...

VFR CIGS should return to southern Wisconsin by around 12z this
morning.  Drier air is working in as high pressure over the northern
plains holds stationary with low pressure off to our south and east.
This puts us in a persistent and cold northwest to north flow
through the TAF period.

&&

.MARINE...

High pressure holding nearly stationary over the northern and
central plains will bring a persistent northwest to north wind to
the nearshore waters today through Thursday.  Winds and waves have
fallen below small craft advisory criteria for today, so will cancel
it early.  However, those winds increase again tonight as the
pressure gradient tightens up.  Will hoist another small craft
advisory running from midnight tonight through the afternoon on
Thursday.

&&

.MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WI...None.
LM...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY from midnight tonight to 6 PM CST Thursday
     for LMZ643>646.
