Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
254 PM CST Tue Nov 17 2020
.SHORT TERM...
(Issued 255 PM CST Tue Nov 17 2020)
Tonight through Wednesday night:
Gusty northwesterly winds will continue to die down this evening
as high pressure slides off to our southeast. As this high
pressure exits tomorrow, a steeper pressure gradient will lean
over into the western Great Lakes Region, leading to some gusty
south winds. Winds will be strong, but will carry the upside of
moderating temperatures, which will reach into the lower 50s to
upper 40s. Clear to mostly clear skies will linger into tomorrow
night.
CMiller
&&
.LONG TERM...
(Issued 255 PM CST Tue Nov 17 2020)
Thursday through Tuesday:
500mb ridging and 925mb warm advection will allow us to mix down
some warmer temperatures from aloft on Thursday. We will likely
see daytime highs in the low to mid 60s as a result.
Our next major weather maker of note will come this weekend as an
upper-lvl trough barrels eastward across the Northern Plains and
Upper Midwest. Considerable uncertainty exists with this system,
however, owing to some phasing issues. Right now, the ECMWF
solution has us largely getting missed to the south by this system
with possibly a glancing blow of a rain/snow mix on Sunday. The
GFS portrays a much more laborius affair, with precipitation
lingering from Saturday afternoon through Sunday afternoon and
multiple changes from rain to snow. Right now model blends prefer
the longer duration of the GFS with periods of rain and snow.
Confidence is low at the moment and trends will be monitored.
After this system, high pressure returns from Monday through
Tuesday.

.AVIATION...
(Issued 255 PM CST Tue Nov 17 2020)
VFR conditions are expected through the TAF period with gusty
northwest winds continuing to subside through the overnight hours.
Winds will become southerly early Wednesday morning and become
gusty and southwesterly with time during the daytime hours on
Wednesday.

.MARINE...
(Issued 255 PM CST Tue Nov 17 2020)
After a lull in winds tonight, a steep pressure gradient will lean
over into the Western Great Lake region, creating gusty south to
southwesterly winds on Wednesday. Gales appear likely over all of
the open waters of Lake Michigan Wednesday afternoon through
Thursday morning.
Locally, a gale watch is currently out for our nearshore, although
some uncertainty does exist in whether or not Gale Criteria will
be achieved. This is owing to some vigorous warm air advection
which may have the potential to keep nearshore gusts below gale
criteria. At the very least, a small craft advisory will be put
out for gusts to 30kts, but a Gale Warning may be needed pending
more model output.
