* WINDS: Northwest winds to 30 kt diminishing to 10 to 20 kt
  overnight. A few gale force gusts possible late this evening.

* WAVES: Waves 8 to 11 ft occasionally to 14 ft subsiding to 5 to
  8 ft occasionally to 10 ft. The highest waves will be across
  eastern portions of the lake. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Gale Warning means winds of 34 to 47 knots are imminent or
occuring. Operating a vessel in gale conditions requires
experience and properly equipped vessels. It is highly
recommended that mariners without the proper experience seek safe
harbor prior to the onset of gale conditions.

Area forecast discussion, Oct 17, 12:24 PM CDT, 57 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
1224 PM CDT Wed Oct 17 2018

.UPDATE...

No major changes to the forecast for the rest of the day. Clouds
have mostly cleared out, though a bit of additional cu development
is possible later this afternoon. With the sunny skies,
temperatures are also trending just a touch higher. Highs should
still top out in the mid 40s in most areas, though a few upper 40s
are possible over the far southwestern CWA.

&&

.AVIATION(18Z TAFS)...

VFR is expected through the next 24 hours. Gusty northwest winds
will persist this afternoon, but should quickly fall off by early
evening as high pressure moves south into the area and
temperatures start to cool. Winds will be light overnight, as they
shift to the southwest. Southwest winds will then prevail on
Thursday.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 953 AM CDT Wed Oct 17 2018)

UPDATE...

Clouds are clearing from northwest to southeast a bit faster than
initially expected. Some additional scattered cu development is
possible this afternoon, but conditions should be at least partly
sunny. Highs will top out in the mid 40s.

MARINE...

Gusty northwest winds will persist today across Lake Michigan. A
Small Craft Advisory is in effect for the nearshore waters through
this afternoon. Across the open lake, winds are expected to remain
just below gale force.

Winds will become southwesterly tomorrow, with gales possible
across the northern half of Lake Michigan tomorrow afternoon and
evening. Southwest winds will persist into Friday, with another
period of gales possible Friday into Saturday, ahead of and then
behind a passing cold front.

PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 550 AM CDT Wed Oct 17 2018)

AVIATION(12Z TAFS)...

Area of stratocumulus clouds continue to stream southeast into
the area early this morning. Ceilings are around 3500 to 4000
feet, and should remain so into this morning. These clouds may
linger across most of the area this morning.

Some uncertainty with how long it will take to mix out the
ceilings later this morning into this afternoon. At this time,
think they will scatter out by the early afternoon hours. Skies
should be mostly clear by tonight.

Gusty northwest winds are expected today, with gusts of 18 to 23
knots into the afternoon. Winds will weaken tonight, with high
pressure passing by to the south.

PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 335 AM CDT WED OCT 17 2018)

TODAY and TONIGHT...Forecast Confidence - Medium.

Area of stratocumulus clouds continue to stream southeast into
northern portions of the area early this morning. Models show this
cloud field continuing to push into a good portion of the area this
morning, before slowly mixing out late this morning and this
afternoon. Some uncertainty with how long it will take for these
clouds to mix out. Gusty northwest winds are expected today, within
a tight pressure gradient. Cool temperatures are expected as well,
with highs mainly in the middle 40s.

High pressure will pass by to the south of the area tonight. Winds
will weaken as a result, with mostly clear skies expected. Lows
should drop into the lower 30s in most areas, though this may be a
bit too warm with the radiational cooling conditions expected.

THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...Forecast Confidence...Medium to
High.

Quiet conditions will continue through Thursday night as High
pressure drifts southeast of the region.  Increasing southwest winds
on the backside of the departing high will result in slightly warmer
air spreading back into southern WI.  925H temps rise into the 6-8C
range.  With sunshine and mild breezes, daytime temps should climb
into the mid to upper 50s with a few spots reaching 60 in the west.

Low level southwest winds will continue to increase Thursday night
into Friday night ahead of an amplifying northern plains short wave.
This wave and associated cold front will move through southern WI
fairly quickly Friday afternoon/evening. The rapid movement of this
wave will prevent deeper atmospheric moisture from surging into
southern WI ahead of the feature.  Will continue chances for
showers, but the more widespread precipitation looks to remain south
of the area.  The shower threat will end in upon frontal passage as
drier air rapidly returns to the area.

Dry low levels of the atmosphere ahead of the approaching cold front
on Friday will allow strong wind gusts to mix down to the surface
from mid-morning through late afternoon.  Southwest wind gusts of 30
to 35 mph are expected during this period, before the front moves
through.

EXTENDED PERIOD...

SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...Forecast Confidence - Medium.

Increasing northwest steering winds in the wake of the passing
Friday evening cold front will carry a vigorous mid-level short wave
across southern and central WI on Saturday. Canadian/ECMWF solutions
slightly slower than GFS but all Medium range guidance carry this
wave across southern WI during the day. Impressive 400H potential
vorticity with this feature as mid-level lapse rates decrease to 7-8
degrees during the morning over the east.  Burst of enhanced lift
with this wave has deep moisture in the favorable dendritic growth
zone. Lowered temps several degrees during the morning and went with
a rain/snow shower mix for a few hours in some areas. Visibilities
may briefly drop in moderate rain/snow showers.  The enhanced lift
from this wave quickly moves off to the east during the aftn with
cool, northwest steering winds persisting into early the following
week. Passing high pressure ridge will result in a quiet and cool
day on Sunday. Increasing southwest winds will develop Sunday night
and Monday ahead of approaching weak low pressure trof.  This trof
will pass across southern WI Monday aftn/eve, but atmospheric
moisture to remain sparse. Hence no need for pops.  Medium range
guidance weakens cool northwest steering winds across the Great
Lakes by mid-week, with more seasonal conditions returning for
several days later in the week.
