* WHAT...For the Gale Warning, west winds 25 to 35 kt with gusts 
  up to 45 kt and waves 9 to 14 ft. For the Heavy Freezing Spray 
  Warning, heavy freezing spray at a rate of 2 cm per hour or 
  greater expected, and may rapidly accumulate on vessels.

* WHERE...Northern Open Waters of Lake Michigan north of a line 
  from Port Washington WI to Whitehall MI.

* WHEN...For the Gale Warning, until 3 AM CST Friday. For the 
  Heavy Freezing Spray Warning, from 9 PM this evening to 6 AM 
  CST Friday.

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

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Cannot rule out a few, brief storm force
  gusts this afternoon, especially across central portions of the
  open waters.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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

Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI
946 PM CST Tue Feb 4 2025

.KEY MESSAGES...

- A band of light snow is expected to progress northward on
  Wednesday, with a light wintry mix expected from late
  Wednesday afternoon through Wednesday night. Less than an inch
  of snowfall accumulation along with a glaze to 0.05 inch of ice are
  expected, with possible impacts to the late evening Wednesday and
  early morning Thursday commutes.

- Gales are expected Thursday afternoon into Thursday night
  across the open waters of Lake Michigan. Winds diminish late
  Thursday night into Friday morning.

- Accumulating snowfall likely (60-75%) on Saturday, with a few
  inches possible.

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued 946 PM CST Tue Feb 4 2025

Temperatures aren't expected to fall much more tonight given
mostly cloudy skies and warm air advection aloft. Bumped low
temperatures down a bit for the night though, given temps fell
a bit faster than expected earlier this evening. Otherwise, the
forecast looks on track for the remainder of the night.

DDV

&&

.SHORT TERM...
Issued 308 PM CST Tue Feb 4 2025

Tonight through Wednesday night:

Light snow showers have spread into far southeastern Wisconsin this
afternoon, with potential for a few flurries to push into
Milwaukee this evening into tonight. Minimal accumulations are
expected, primarily just a dusting to a few tenths of an inch of
dry snow. Flurries along Lake Michigan remain possible through
the overnight hours, but otherwise expecting dry conditions
across southern Wisconsin and overnight lows in the teens.

A wave of upper level WAA then brings mid-level moisture into
southern Wisconsin starting Wednesday morning, producing
potential for additional flurries and light snow showers. Any
precipitation Wednesday morning through the afternoon will be
fighting a good deal of dry air in the boundary layer, so did
not have enough confidence to put more than chances in the PoPs
grids. That being said, a band of steady snowfall may move south
to north through the afternoon, and trends will have to be
monitored as far as increasing or decreasing potential for
snowfall making its way to the surface. Regardless, this band of
steady snow would only produce minimal additional
accumulations.

As the WAA band moves northward into central Wisconsin during
the late afternoon to evening hours Wednesday, it is expected to
stall out as phasing begins between a northern shortwave trough
and a developing low pressure system in the southern Plains,
which will also lead to broad lift across southern Wisconsin
overnight. However, as this region of lift develops, dry air
intrudes into the dendritic growth layer and reduces snowfall
potential. This will lead to a classic freezing drizzle setup,
with saturation through an isothermal layer from 925-850 mb and
potentially from the surface through 850 mb later in the
overnight period as the low levels saturate via evaporation. If
mid-level instability works in as seen in some runs of the GFS,
pockets of snow may still develop, with the best chances in
central Wisconsin late overnight as the northern shortwave
progresses through Lake Superior and brings stronger lift to the
region. With all that being said, the main concern with these
phasing systems will be a glaze to 0.05 inch of icing and less
than half an inch of snowfall overnight. Did not issue a Winter
Weather Advisory with this forecast cycle due to continued
downward trend in total QPF and timing of heaviest precipitation
not coinciding with heaviest traffic times. Precipitation ends
before Thursday morning, although some slick spots may remain on
untreated and elevated surfaces for the Thursday morning
commute.

MH

&&

.LONG TERM...
Issued 308 PM CST Tue Feb 4 2025

Thursday through Tuesday:

As the low pressure system migrates northeast across Lake Superior
Thursday morning, the wintry mix and freezing drizzle will come to
an end from west to east. Eastern areas could see the wintry
mix/freezing drizzle linger into the morning commute. Dry air
aloft will continue to eat away or rather prevent any cloud ice
from developing, which will likely leave any lingering precip as
predominantly drizzle and freezing drizzle. Can't completely rule
out sleet, but by this point in the morning convective lift
needed will be very small. So this essentially leaves eastern
counties with whatever little lift we have left, squeezing the
last of the precipitation out of low level clouds. The bright
side is that this isn't expected to last through the entire
morning commute.

As the low continues northeast toward Quebec, high pressure will
be building in from the Northern Plains. The tightening pressure
gradient will bring breezy conditions to the state and Lake
Michigan. The westerly winds developing Thursday afternoon behind
the cold front, are expected to gust to around 25 to 30 knots (28
to 35 mph). As the high pressure builds in, winds will gradually
relax as will the pressure gradient. Dry weather is expected
through Friday.

The next system approaching the state is likely (50-80%) to bring
accumulating snowfall to the state. The surface low pressure
system is expected to develop in the Rocky Mountain west with a
fairly zonal 500 mb flow. The surface and mid level low pressure
systems are expected to advect northeast into the southern Great
Lakes Region Saturday. Guidance has been pretty consistent with
this overtime to the point where ensembles and cluster analysis
show very little in the way of the track shifting or
amplitude/strength differences. Central wisconsin looks to have
the best lift and most amount of QPF at this time which will
result in some higher totals across this region. Now this is
where we could see shifts over time this week (snowfall amounts).
This will be dependent on where the best area of lift falls
including mesoscale banding, amount of available moisture, and how
big the dendritic growth zone is and lift in that zone. So these
are things to shake out over the next couple runs as we get more
high res guidance. By and large higher totals as you go north,
lower totals as you head toward the WI/IL border. Beyond this
system dry weather looks to return with a surface high pressure
approaching from the plains.

.AVIATION...
Issued 946 PM CST Tue Feb 4 2025

Still expecting MVFR ceilings in far southeast Wisconsin
tonight into early Wed due to winds off of Lake Michigan.
Otherwise, high clouds, light winds, and dry weather are
expected tonight into Wednesday morning. East to southeast
winds will pick up late morning into the afternoon tomorrow as
high pressure exits ahead of an approaching low. A little light
snow is possible tomorrow afternoon as moisture increases and
warm advection aloft continues. The better chance for
precipitation will come during the evening and overnight hours,
where a mix of light snow and freezing rain/drizzle is
expected. Ceilings will gradually decrease later tomorrow into
tomorrow night as the steadier precipitation moves in.

DDV

&&

.MARINE...
Issued 308 PM CST Tue Feb 4 2025

30.6 inch high pressure is forecast to move overhead Lake
Michigan late tonight, allowing for light and variable winds
through Wednesday morning. Winds will shift southeasterly and
increase ahead of a warm front Wednesday afternoon.

Confidence in a brief period of northwest gales continues to
increase following a cold frontal passage Thursday afternoon &
evening. A Gale Watch has been issued for all open waters and
nearshore regions between 3 PM CST Thursday and 12 AM CST Friday
given this potential. Trends regarding possible upgrades to Gale
Warnings will be monitored over the coming forecasts.
