AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
415 AM CST SUN NOV 30 2008

.SHORT TERM...SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN THE FORECAST THIS MORNING AS
PER ISSUANCE OF HEADLINES.  WHILE CONCERNS ON SNOW AMOUNTS REMAIN
DUE TO MODEL DIFFERENCES AND DRY AIR INITIALLY OVER NORTHEAST
WI THIS MORNING...THE MODEL TRENDS OF THIS SYSTEM TRACKING A BIT MORE
NORTH AND WEST NOTED PUTTING EC WI IN MORE OF THE REGION OF THE
SYSTEM SNOW.  SYSTEM STILL ORGANIZING AS UPPER TROF CONTINUES TO
DEEPEN AND PIECES OF ENERGY UPSTREAM IN THE DKTS PHASES WITH THE
MAINS SYSTEM.

SAT IMAGERY THIS AM SHOW A SRN EDGE WITH THE DEVELOPING SYSTEM
OVER NRN MO AND AT 09Z WAS TRACKING NEWD. ASSUMING THIS LATEST SAT
TREND PANS OUT...EXTRAPOLATION OF THIS SRN EDGE PLACES THIS BAND
OF MOD SNOW INTO SRN/SE WI TODAY...WITH EC WI JUST NORTH OF THE OF
THE MAX PCPN.  RADARS TO THE SOUTH SHOW RETURNS WORKING INTO SRN
WI ALREADY BUT NOT REACHING THE GROUND. EXPECT SNOW TO DEVELOP
THIS AFTERNOON AS SATURATION OCCURS WITH FALLING UPPER HEIGHTS.
STILL EXPECT BEST SNOWS TNT AS COLUMN TURNS COLD AND FAIRLY
CONSISTENT H7 CONVERGENCE OVER EC WI AS PER Q VECTOR WINDS.

OF EQUAL IMPORTANCE TO THE SNOW IS THE INCREASING WINDS AS THE
LOW DEEPENS OVER LOWER MICH TNT. EVEN THOUGH SNOW AMOUNTS COULD
RANGE FROM 2 TO 6 INCHES OVER EC WI WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS NEAR
MTW COUNTY...COMBINED WITH THE VERY WINDY CONDITIONS WARRANT A
WARNING FOR EC WI...ALONG WITH A BORDER ADVISORY.  WILL ALSO HOIST
THE GALE WARNING FOR NEARSHORE WATERS.

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE GALE WARNING...WILL LET HEADLINES RUN TO 12Z
MONDAY. LATER SHIFTS MAY NEED TO REISSUE A ADVISORY FOR WINDS AND
BLOWING SNOW FOR THE MORNING PORTION ON MONDAY.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY

A LOT TO TALK ABOUT IN THIS FORECAST PACKAGE WITH MAIN FOCUS ON
MID WEEK STORM. TRANQUIL PATTERN EXPECTED MONDAY NIGHT AS WEAK
RIDGING MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. DEPENDING IF WINDS DECOUPLE AND WE
GET A PROLONGED PERIOD OF CLEARING...LATER SHIFTS MAY NEED TO BUMP
DOWN MINIMUM TEMPERATURES AS MOST OF THE AREA WILL SEE A FRESH SNOW
COVER FROM THIS WEEKENDS STORM.

ON TUESDAY...MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW STRONG 850MB WARM ADVECTION
WITH DECENT 700MB LIFT. MOST OF THE MODELS DO INDICATE SATURATION
THROUGH MUCH OF THE ATMOSPHERE...ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON
HOURS. I HAVE CONTINUED THE CHANCES FOR SNOW ACROSS THE ENTIRE
AREA. SOME OF THE MODELS PUSH THE 0C 850MB LINE TOWARDS CENTRAL
WISCONSIN TUESDAY AFTERNOON. PAST HISTORY HAS SHOWN THAT MIXED
PRECIPITATION OF SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN CAN OCCUR IN THESE TYPE
OF SITUATIONS EVEN IF THE WARM LAYER DOES NOT REACH 0C.
GENERALLY...THE MODELS HAVE A HARD TIME DEPICTING THE WARM LAYER
IN THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE SEVERAL DAYS IN ADVANCE OF THE EVENT.
LOOKING AT THE 1000/700MB THICKNESS PATTERN...THE 2840 DECAMETERS
LINE APPROACHES CENTRAL WISCONSIN WHICH IS AN INDICATOR OF THE
POTENTIAL FOR LIQUID/FREEZING PRECIPITATION IN THE LAYER. THE
QUESTION IS HOW MUCH THE SURFACE TEMPERATURES WILL WARM ON
TUESDAY. AFTER SUCH A COLD START AND A RELATIVELY FRESH SNOW
COVER...HAVE TRENDED BELOW GUIDANCE THINKING MOST OF THE WARM
WILL OVERRIDE THE COLD SURFACE.

A WEAK COLD FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT TO
SUPPORT THE CHANCES OF SNOW. THE ATTENTION NOW TURNS TO THE
ECMWF/CANADIAN MODEL STORM ON WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

OVER THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS...THE CANADIAN/ECMWF MODEL SEEMS TO
HAVE BEEN DOING A BETTER JOB WITH SYSTEMS IN THE DAY 3 AND DAY 4
PERIODS. THIS WAS ESPECIALLY TRUE WITH THE SYSTEM THIS WEEKEND AS
ECMWF WAS FAIRLY CONSISTENT WHILE THE GFS/NGM/NAM KEPT JUMPING
AROUND ON EACH MODEL RUN. THE 00Z CANADIAN/ECMWF NOW DEPICT A
STORM DEVELOPING ACROSS THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS ON WEDNESDAY.
THE STORM THEN MOVES TO SOUTHEAST WISCONSIN OR NORTHERN ILLINOIS
BY WEDNESDAY EVENING... THEN INTO ONTARIO THURSDAY MORNING. MODEL
QPF OFF OF THE CANADIAN/ECMWF WOULD SUGGEST THAT A WINTER STORM
WARNING CRITERIA SNOWFALL (PROBABLY 6 TO 12 INCHES) IS POSSIBLE
SOMEWHERE ACROSS NORTHEAST AND NORTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN. THE ECMWF
INDICATED GULF MOISTURE WOULD BE TRANSPORTED NORTHWARD AS
DEEPENING SURFACE LOW REACHES 1004 MB NEAR CHICAGO. THE MODEL ALSO
INDICATED THE REGION WOULD IN THE FAVORABLE LEFT EXIT REGION OF A
130+ KNOT JET TO AID THE UPWARD LIFT IN THE ATMOSPHERE. THE
WRF/GFS DID NOT SHOW THE SOUTHERN STORM MOVING INTO THE WESTERN
GREAT LAKES REGION AND WAS FURTHER EAST AND MUCH WEAKER THAN THE
CANADIAN/ECMWF. LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN THE GFS AS THIS MODEL WAS
VERY INCONSISTENT WITH THIS WEEKENDS STORM. ALSO... GFS ENSEMBLE
MEMBERS WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH THE SURFACE LOW POSITION
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. COORDINATED WITH HPC
ABOUT THE MIDWEEK STORM WHICH THEY CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE
ECMWF IN THEIR PRODUCTS.

MUCH COLDER AIR WILL WORK INTO THE REGION ON THURSDAY. DAY SHIFT
LOWERED MAX TEMPERATURES CONSIDERABLY YESTERDAY. I HAVE NUDGED THEM
DOWN EVEN FURTHER BASED ON EXPECTED CLOUD COVER AND FRESH SNOW
COVER AND EXPECTED 850MB TEMPERATURES. CONSIDERED THE TREND AND
LOWERED MINIMUM TEMPERATURES THURSDAY NIGHT AS WELL.

ANOTHER CLIPPER SYSTEM INDICATED BY THE GFS AND ECMWF WILL AFFECT
THE AREA ON SATURDAY. IF THIS TREND CONTINUES...LATER SHIFTS WILL
NEED TO RAISE THE CHANCES FOR SNOW WITH THIS EVENT.

.AVIATION...IFR CONDITIONS DEVELOPING TODAY AS SNOW SPREADS INTO
THE REGION. LIFR CONDITIONS WITH SNOW ALONG WITH VERY WINDY
CONDITIONS DEVELOPING THIS AFTERNOON AND CONTINUING TONIGHT OVER
EC WI. MVFR CIGS AND VBSY WITH SCT IFR CIGS AND VSBYS WITH SNOW
EXPECTED ELSEWHERE.

AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE INTO MONDAY. GALE WARNING ISSUED.
