Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
318 AM CST Wed Jan 4 2017

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

We remain in the zone between an arctic ridge stretched from the
northern plains to Illinois and low pressure slowly pulling away to
the northeast.  The arctic air has arrived and the northwest winds
will be steady and brisk today.  Look for the winds to quiet down
tonight.  Wind chill values by Thursday morning will approach wind
chill advisory criteria north Milwaukee and Madison, hitting -20 for
a few hours centered around 5-6am.  We should see a decent amount of
sunshine today, followed by increasing clouds tonight associated
with a system slipping by to the south on Thursday.

.THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...Forecast confidence is high.

Arctic high pressure will dominate through the week and likely into
the weekend. Low temperatures will be at or below zero. The surface
pressure gradient will be weakening Thursday but a weak low level
jet will allow for some 15 to 20 knot wind gusts during the day,
especially in the east. Wind chill values of 10 to 20 below are
expected Thursday and Friday mornings with the lowest values toward
central WI. The pattern changes little through the weekend so these
wind chill values will likely continue through Sunday morning.
Conditions look borderline for a Wind Chill Advisory for these days
across the northern tier of counties so will hold off for now.

.MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...Forecast confidence is moderate.

Temperatures moderate on Monday as an upper ridge moves into the
region with southwest flow at the surface. There is small chance for
snow on Monday but that system may miss us to the north. Then a much
stronger system moves through Tuesday and Wednesday. Models are in
fairly good agreement on the track right now, but this far out that
can change. If precip starts early Tuesday there could be freezing
rain or sleet, but the consensus is that precip won't start until the
afternoon when temps warm above freezing.  Some light snow is
possible on the back edge early Wednesday morning.

&&

.AVIATION/12Z TAFS/...

VFR conditions are expected through the TAF period. The strong and
gusty west to northwest winds will continue today, diminishing with
sunset this evening.

&&

.MARINE...

The gale warning, for strong west to northwest winds, runs through
18z/noon today. Once that expires, a small craft advisory for
continued elevated westerly winds will likely run through Thursday
morning.  Freezing spray will be a concern out toward open water. A
heavy freezing spray warning is in effect for the open waters
through this evening.

&&

.MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WI...None.
LM...GALE WARNING until noon CST today for LMZ643>646.
