  kt this evening into tonight. 

* WAVES: Waves 7 to 10 ft occasionally to 13 ft.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
1250 PM CDT Sun Oct 14 2018

.UPDATE...

Latest synoptic and mesoscale models are showing the bulk of the
rain showers moving through the area late this afternoon and
evening. This is with the best 850 mb frontogenesis response
fields. The cold air advection later this evening and overnight
should help dry out the low levels, ending the precipitation from
west to east fairly quickly.

Still a shot at a light rain shower/light snow shower mix, or all
light snow showers, for a brief period as the precipitation winds
down. Wet roads are expected, as road surfaces will be above
freezing. Not much impact is anticipated with this.

&&

.AVIATION(18Z TAFS)...

MVFR ceilings will overspread the rest of the area over the next
few hours, with stratocumulus filling in. Cold front will move
southeast across the area later this afternoon and this evening.
Winds will shift to the northwest behind the front. Rain showers
are expected to move east across the area this evening, with some
visibility restrictions down to around 5 miles possible. Ceilings
may drop to around 800 to 1000 feet at times as well.

There may be a period of a light rain/light snow shower mix, or
light snow showers, later this evening and overnight, as colder
and drier air moves into the area. Some uncertainty with how much
of this activity will occur, as the dry air may help end
precipitation before a mix or change could occur. For now, will
not mention in TAFs. Any mix or light snow showers will just cause
wet runways, so not much if any impact is expected.

West northwest winds later tonight will remain so and strengthen
on Monday. Gusts of 20 to 25 knots are expected Monday. Some
diurnal stratocumulus may develop Monday, with MVFR ceilings
around 2500 feet possible.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 1028 AM CDT Sun Oct 14 2018)

UPDATE...

Main area of precipitation associated with 850 mb frontogenesis
response was shifting east northeast across central Wisconsin,
extending into southern Minnesota and into western Iowa. Low
clouds will gradually spread east across the area this afternoon,
with some stratocumulus development as well.

The cold front should slide southeast through the area later this
afternoon and evening. There should be enough deep moisture and
850 mb frontogenesis response pushing through the area near and
behind the surface front to bring a period of rain showers later
this afternoon and evening.

There may be a mix of rain and snow showers later this evening
and overnight from west to east, as cold air advection tries to
cool the low levels before it dries out. The drying of the low
levels may win out, as shown by the models limiting any QPF after
06Z Monday to the far southeast counties.

There remains some uncertainty here with if and how long any mix
or light snow showers would occur. Ground temperatures are warm
enough to prevent any snow accumulations, so not expecting much if
any impact from this.

MARINE...

Nearshore Waters...A Small Craft Advisory may be needed for later
tonight into Monday. Northwest winds are expected to become gusty
behind the cold front later tonight, lingering into Monday. Gusts
to 25 knots are possible at times. The offshore winds will keep
any high wave action would be over the open waters of Lake
Michigan. Will take a look at the new round of computer models
before deciding on a Small Craft Advisory for this period.

Another period of gusty northwest winds are forecast for Monday
night into Wednesday. Frequent gusts of 25 to 30 knots are
possible during this period, with winds remaining offshore in
nature. Thus, any high waves would remain near and over the open
waters of Lake Michigan.

Open Waters...A period of gusty winds are forecast from Monday
into Wednesday over the open waters of Lake Michigan. Frequent
gusts to 30 knots are possible during this period. Winds will
generally be northwest Monday into Monday night, then southwest
Tuesday, before shifting west to northwest Tuesday night and
Wednesday. May see some gale force gusts to 35 knots later Monday
night into Tuesday. High waves should develop during this period.

PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 520 AM CDT Sun Oct 14 2018)

UPDATE...Going forecast looks on track. Meso models continue to
show best potential of light rain today on the northwest periphery
of our service area. Highest chances still look this evening into
the overnight hours with a little mix on back end of precipitation
area as it progresses through srn WI.

PC

AVIATION(12Z TAFS)...VFR conditions expected to persist across
the southeast portion of the forecast area today. Meanwhile
closer to the frontal boundary MVFR cloud cover and light rain is
streaming northeastward. All this will sag slowly southeast with
time today and this evening, but it will be a slow process. Still
thinking a bit of light snow may mix in with the rain overnight
but it will be a quick hitter with little if any snow
accumulation expected. Some IFR ceilings may occur during the
overnight precipitation. Gusty northwest winds will kick in
overnight as the front passes and cold advection increases. This
will result in a colder day Monday with a decrease in cloud cover.

PC

PREV DISCUSSION... (Issued 301 AM CDT Sun Oct 14 2018)

DISCUSSION...

Today - Confidence...Medium
High pressure continues to ridge from the OH Vly WNW into srn WI.
A frontal boundary extends from cntrl IA northeast to low pressure
just north of Lake Superior. The front will make steady progress
across the area today. The meso models keep precip mainly across
the nw cwa which is where 88-d animation shows returns focusing
there. Best precip coverage for the balance of the day looks to
remain in the northern or western portions of the cwa. Southwest
winds will bring thermal ridge axis into the area ahead of the
front. 925 temps rise into the 3-5c range with some collapsing of
thermal ridge after 18z in the northwest cwa.

Tonight - Confidence...Medium
Better mid/upper level dynamics arrive with the 850/925 fronts
passing through early on. Models continue to have a swath of
mostly light rain pass through, however the Bufkit soundings do
show a period of time where ice is introduced into the column when
the lower levels have sufficiently cooled/dried to suggest a mix
of precip or just a bit of light snow before the drier push in mid
levels decreases precip potential with increasing cold air
advection taking hold.

Monday through Thursday...Forecast confidence is high.

We will remain under a dry, but cool northwest mid level flow
through much of the week. A reinforcing shot of cool air will
arrive in the wake of a cold front that sweeps across the area
later on Tuesday. It looks like the front will come through dry,
but look for a breezy day on Tuesday, mainly ahead of the
boundary.

Friday...Forecast confidence is high.

The guidance continues to show a stronger cold front pushing
through on Friday. Moisture is still quite limited and the
dominant positive tilt orientation points to a smaller chance of
light showers.

Next weekend...Forecast confidence is high.

The dry trend should continue next weekend into the following
week as big high pressure returns to the Great Lakes. Temperatures
will likely remain below normal for this time of year, but things
will continue to dry out from our excessive rainfall during the
past month and half.

AVIATION(06Z TAFS)...VFR cloud cover will dominate ahead of a
frontal boundary that will pass through later today or this
evening. Winds will shift to the northwest and increase overnight.
A fast jet stream and some embedded energy will result in some
light rain mainly overnight. Enough cold air may work in to lead
to a brief mix before the precipitation winds down. Ceilings
will likely drop to IFR levels for a time before clouds decrease
Monday morning.

MARINE...A small craft advisory may be needed for the cold air
advection regime in the wake of a front passing through overnight.
The windy regime should persist into Monday. Then another low
approaches Tuesday and sets up a gusty southwest wind regime which
will be followed by another surge of colder air/northwest winds
Tuesday night/Wednesday. In fact this latter system may result in
some gale gusts across the open waters region.
