  Strong winds will cause hazardous waves which could capsize or
  damage vessels and reduce visibility.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Mariners should prepare for dangerous accumulation of ice on
their vessel. If possible, remain in port, avoid the warning area
or conduct mitigation.

Mariners should alter plans to avoid these hazardous conditions.

* IMPACTS...Operating a vessel in heavy freezing spray is 
  hazardous. Freezing spray may render mechanical and electronic 
  components inoperative. Rapid ice accretion on decks and 
  superstructures may result in a catastrophic loss of 
  stability. Conditions will be hazardous to small craft.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Mariners should prepare for dangerous accumulation of ice on
their vessel. If possible, remain in port, avoid the warning area
or conduct mitigation.

Inexperienced mariners, especially those operating smaller
vessels, should avoid navigating in hazardous conditions.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
429 AM CST Tue Jan 21 2025

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Extreme Cold Warnings are in effect until noon CST today.

- Very cold temperatures and wind chills will linger this
  afternoon into Wednesday morning. Additional Cold Weather
  Advisories may be needed.

- Heavy freezing spray potential continues over Lake Michigan
  through today and possibly into tonight.

- Confidence is rising for light snow developing Wed AM for all
  of srn WI. The snow may continue over far srn WI including MKE
  through the afternoon into the evening. Snow accums will be
  light but travel may be impacted.

- Temperatures trend back toward normal mid-week through this
  weekend.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
Issued 429 AM CST Tue Jan 21 2025

Today through Wednesday night:

There is one very narrow nw-se band of very light snow hanging
on from Madison to Lake Geneva but the shortwave trough will
pass within the next few hours with any light snow ending.
Otherwise the bitterly cold temps and wind chills are on track
this morning with some -30F wind chills already occurring.
There will be the usual spatial and temporal variability in
wind chills due to the variability in wind speed.

The sfc ridge will pass today with sswly winds and warm
advection beginning late this afternoon. High temps will only
rise to around zero degrees today but with gradual warming from
late evening into Wed as breezy swly winds develop. The wind
chills will slowly moderate this afternoon into tonight but a
Cold Weather Advisory may still be needed with best chances
toward east central WI.

The swly winds are increasing as the arctic high moves across
the Ohio River Valley tnt, while weakening low pressure
approaches Lake Superior from south central Canada. The low will
move across the nrn Great Lakes Wed-Wed nt. The strong low to
mid level warm advection will eventually result in enough layer lift
and moistening for light snow development west to east across
srn WI Wed AM. Mid level dry air may keep the duration of snow
fairly short north of Madison and Milwaukee, but a confluent
flow and hence frontogenesis between two shortwave troughs
could keep the light snow going into the afternoon and evening from
far srn WI enewd into the MKE metro area. 1-2 inches may occur
there with under an inch to the north. Given the cold temps,
these light snow accums would be enough to impact travel through
the day and into the evening. A cold frontal and shortwave
passage will then occur Wed nt with some potential for areas of
light snow to linger through the night.

Gehring

&&

.LONG TERM...
Issued 429 AM CST Tue Jan 21 2025

Thursday through Monday:

Nwly winds and cold advection will continue on Thu with the sfc
ridge passage expected for Fri AM. Thus temps will drop to near
zero degrees by sunrise Fri, but slightly milder toward far ern
WI. Swly winds and weak warm advection will begin Fri afternoon
with highs in the lower 20s forecast.

The jet stream will then become zonal across the ern two thirds
of the country with temps returning to near normal conditions
and mostly dry conditions into the weekend.

Gehring

&&

.AVIATION...
Issued 429 AM CST Tue Jan 21 2025

Scattered flurries and local MVFR Cigs will end over far
srn WI by 13Z today. Otherwise VFR conditions today and
tonight, but light snow developing Wed AM from west to east
across srn WI. Cigs will fall to MVFR with vsbys of 1-3SM with
the snowfall.

Gehring

&&

.MARINE...
Issued 429 AM CST Tue Jan 21 2025

Arctic high pressure around 30.8 inches over the southern Great Plains
will move east across the Ohio River Valley through tonight.
This will maintain breezy west winds across Lake Michigan through
today, and shift to southwest overnight into Wednesday. Brisk
west winds will combine with elevated wave heights and frigid air
temperatures to support heavy freezing spray. Heavy Freezing
Spray Warnings are in effect through this morning in the northern
third, and into this evening for the southern two thirds.

Low pressure around 29.8 inches will across the northern Great
Lakes Wednesday into Wednesday night with a cold front to follow.
The breezy southwest winds late tonight into early Wednesday
afternoon may reach gale force for the south half, hence a Gale
Watch is in effect. The winds will then shift to northwesterly
for Wednesday night and Thursday, but not as windy.

A Small Craft Advisory has been issued from Sheboygan to
Winthrop Harbor from 11 PM CST tonight until 6 PM CST on
Wednesday for breezy southwest winds and building waves.
