Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
1113 AM CDT Fri Oct 16 2020
.UPDATE...
(Issued 1112 AM CDT Fri Oct 16 2020)
First round of showers are clearing to the east. The colder air
this morning did allow for some mix precip with reports of a few
flakes and graupel falling as these moved through. Another round
of light rain is expected this afternoon as a shortwave moves
across northern Wisconsin. Main focus of showers is north of I-94
and made adjustments to pops to reflect that. The rest of the
forecast is on track for today and no other changes are needed at
this time.

.SHORT TERM...
(Issued 402 AM CDT Fri Oct 16 2020)
Today through Saturday:
The upper level trough axis will swing through this morning
afternoon bringing chances for some showers during the morning and
afternoon hours. The 500mb positive vorticity advection and mid
level frontogenesis will be the main forcing for these showers.
There could be a few snowflakes this morning due to the colder
air, but those chances will diminish as we warm up into the 50s.
This afternoon there will be a little instability around 100 J/kg
of CAPE, and with cold air aloft we could see some graupel or
small hail with stronger showers. Showers will be elevated with a
decent amount of dry air at the surface which could cause some
gustier winds.
Tonight winds will become more southerly and increase heading into
Saturday as a low pressure system moves from southwest Minnesota
into Lake Superior. The warm front associated with the low moves
in late tonight/early Saturday morning which could bring a chance
for some more showers mainly north of the I-94 corridor. The low
level jet quickly move in overhead behind the warm front and will
bring strong winds for Saturday afternoon. Southerly gusts around
45 mph will be possible. An Advisory may be needed if these trends
continue.

.LONG TERM...
(Issued 402 AM CDT Fri Oct 16 2020)
Saturday night through Thursday:
Winds will slowly diminish Saturday night as a surface trough and
cold front move into the area. Much of Saturday night should be
dry, but precip chances will increase along the front on Sunday as
upper level lift increases. Precip will mainly be in the form of
rain, though a stray snowflake or two will be possible early in
the day, especially further west where cooler temperatures and
slightly drier air will favor wet bulbing effects. Highs Sunday
will range from the low 40s west to upper 40s to around 50 over
far southeastern Wisconsin.
It looks like we should dry out Sunday night, as a surface ridge
moves into the area. This will set the stage for temperatures in
the mid 20s for much of the area, with around 30 across the far
east.
Guidance is trending drier for the first part of the day on
Monday, with precip chances increasing during the afternoon into
Monday night as another shortwave swings across the Central
Plains. Highs will remain cool on Monday, with readings in the mid
40s.
The remainder of the workweek continues to look very active, with
daily precip chances. However, there is a well above normal
level of uncertainty regarding the particular details, especially
timing and temperatures. There will likely be sharp baroclinic
zone in place across the lower Great Lakes during this time, with
temperatures varying by at least 20 degrees on either side of the
boundary. Depending on where the boundary sets up, highs could
plausibly be in the 60s or in the 40s across southern Wisconsin.
Precip chances will also be closely tied to the boundary location.
Hopefully these details will become a little more clear over the
next few days.

.AVIATION...
(Issued 1112 AM CDT Fri Oct 16 2020)
Increasing southwesterly winds are expected this afternoon and
evening ahead of an approaching front. Gusts up to 25 knots are
possible at times this afternoon. Another line of showers is
expected this afternoon as the front moves through and its
certainly possible that some graupel is mixed in with these
showers. Cigs lower to MVFR as the front moves through but then
cigs return to VFR as drier air works in.
Additional gusts are expected on Saturday with values of 25 to 35
kts.

.MARINE...
(Issued 402 AM CDT Fri Oct 16 2020)
Southwest winds will increase into the afternoon with gusts around
25 knots. Showers will be possible this afternoon and may produce
some gustier winds or small hail. Dry conditions will return this
evening with winds increasing from the south. Saturday a low
pressure system tracking from Minnesota into Lake Superior will
bring strong southerly winds to the area. Gusts around 50 knots
will be possible over the open waters with waves 10 to 17 feet.
Gusts around 40 knots will be possible over the nearshore zones
with 7 to 12 foot waves. Therefore a Storm Watch is in effect for
the open waters and a Gale Watch is in effect for the nearshore
waters on Saturday. Quieter conditions move in behind the front
with lighter northwest winds expected Sunday.
