Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 1010 AM CST Mon Dec 13 2021 .UPDATE... (Issued 1010 AM CST Mon Dec 13 2021) Overall forecast is in good shape for today into tonight. Will need some minor adjustments for warming rate here this morning. Highs well into the 40s and even low 50s in our south/southeast look good with a few passing high clouds aloft. Gagan && .SHORT TERM... (Issued 358 AM CST Mon Dec 13 2021) Today through Tuesday: Looking at a quiet and dry stretch today and Tuesday as temps gradually warm ahead of a midweek storm system. Breezy conditions early this morning will give way to lighter winds as the pressure gradient relaxes with the exiting surface low pushing further east and high pressure building across the Upper Midwest today. Based on how temps trended warmer yesterday and overnight, went a few degrees warmer today given 925-850mb temps ranging between 6C-8C degrees based on model RAP soundings. Bumped highs in the upper 40s to around 50 degrees, but wouldn't be surprised to maybe even see temps creep a little higher, especially for areas south of I-94. The exception will be areas holding onto its snowpack from the weekend in Sauk, Columbia, Marquette, and Green Lake counties where highs will likely be closer to the low to mid 40s. Although model soundings and HREF ensembles prog some higher clouds to move in overnight, the light winds and drier air mass will likely result in overnight night temps to fall in the upper 20 to the mid 30s. But if there is more cloud cover, it could reduced radiational cooling and then temps would end up a few degrees warmer than forecast. Otherwise, warmer than normal conditions will continue into Tuesday as high pressure pushes east and southerly winds become more prevalent. The influx in moisture with the low-level WAA will likely result in more cloud cover, but we are still expecting temps to creep in to upper 40 to low 50s and if there are few breaks in clouds temps could end up a few degrees warmer. Wagner && .LONG TERM... (Issued 358 AM CST Mon Dec 13 2021) Tuesday Night through Sunday: Models are in good agreement with bringing steady warm air/moisture advection into the area Tuesday night into Wednesday. Ensembles continue to show moisture and temperatures on the highest end of climatology pushing into the region. Area forecast soundings continue to show a saturated boundary layer under a fairly stout inversion during this period. The combination of the anomalous moisture/temperatures and the saturated boundary layer should result in a period of low clouds and some drizzle/light rain shower chances. May see some light fog as well in any areas where snow cover is lingering. Despite the presence of the low clouds/drizzle/light rain showers, the strength of the warm air/moisture advection and increasing south winds Wednesday should still allow for record highs to occur. Ensembles have been very consistent for many days now with highs into mainly the middle 60s over most of the area. Will continue to use NBM values in the lower to middle 60s for highs Wednesday, which is in the 75th to 90th percentile per Model Certainty. The spread in the forecast range of highs are rather small, indicating higher confidence for these values to occur. The record high for Wednesday at Milwaukee is 55 in 1891, and at Madison is 52 in 2011. Not sure if the all-time record high for December at Milwaukee, which is 68, will be reached. Madison will still get close, with the all-time record high for December of 65 there. The warm temperatures will linger into Wednesday evening, before the strong cold front pushes eastward across the area later Wednesday night. This may allow for record highs to be reached just after midnight on Thursday for Milwaukee (58 in 1984) and Madison (57 in 1959). The strength of the pressure gradient and mixing of strong winds just off the surface later Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night, both ahead of and behind the cold front, may lead to Wind Advisory gusts to around 40 knots at times. Forecast soundings toward the lakeshore have some 50 knot gust potential for short periods of time. Ensembles have been showing solid 40 to 45 knot gusts for a few days now, and some members have shown higher values. Timing of the cold front during the overnight hours may limit any surface based or elevated CAPE, as will persistent low clouds and drizzle/showers. Very strong shear will occur, so not much in the way of CAPE will be needed to bring some gusty winds and hail. SPC is pessimistic about CAPE Wednesday night, and just has general thunder in the area for its Day 3 outlook. For now, kept small thunder chances in forecast for Wednesday night. Gusty west winds should linger into Thursday, though not as strong as Wednesday night. Dry slot will scour out any lingering clouds, with the strong cold air advection bringing falling temperatures. The cold air advection lingers into Thursday night. This will bring more seasonal temperatures back to the area, and should linger into the weekend. Some uncertainty with precipitation chances Friday into Friday night, with deterministic models showing a lot of variability with the low pressure system moving through the region. Kept NBM PoPs for now. Wood && .AVIATION... (Issued 1010 AM CST Mon Dec 13 2021) VFR conditions are expected for the next 24 hours and beyond. Low pressure will shift into Ontario today, with high pressure entering from the northwest. Southwest winds will gradually shift to the northwest, with gusts between 15 to 20kt from time to time through the mid afternoon hours. These wind gusts should wane through the afternoon, with light/variable winds overnight into Tuesday morning. Winds will become reestablished from the southeast on Tuesday. Aside from passing high clouds, no restrictions are expected. Gagan && .MARINE... (Issued 358 AM CST Mon Dec 13 2021) Gusty west to southwesterly winds will continue to diminish through the day as the pressure gradient relaxes as a weak low pressure moves across southern Canada this morning and then quickly followed by high pressure building across the Upper Midwest through the evening. As the surface high pushes east across across the Lake Superior Region overnight, winds will vary by turning more northerly tonight and then southeasterly into Tuesday. Then a strong low pressure is progged to develop and move across the Upper Midwest and western Great Lakes Wednesday night. This midweek system continues to bring a high potential for gale conditions with a period of storm force winds not out of the question, especially across the northern half of Lake Michigan. At the very least, gale headlines are more than likely going to be needed during this time. Wagner && .MKX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...None.
