AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
428 AM CST SAT DEC 6 2008

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY...MAIN FCST CONCERNS INCLUDE
LAKE EFFECT SNOW OVER NC WI TODAY...GUSTY NW WINDS TODAY INTO
EARLY TONIGHT...AND TEMPERATURES.

THE MAIN BAND OF SNOW WITH THE CLIPPER SYSTEM...AND ASSOCIATED
STG S/W TROF OVER NE IA...WAS MOVG THROUGH EASTERN WI AND NE IL
EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS BAND SHD MOVE OUT OVER LK MICH WITHIN
THE NEXT FEW HOURS...BUT UPSTREAM OBSERVATIONS SHOW ADDL LIGHT
SNOW AND FLURRIES HEADED OUR WAY. WV IMAGERY SHOWED A SECONDARY
S/W TROF APPROACHING WSTRN LK SUP...AND HEADED TOWARD NE WI.
NORTHWEST WINDS WERE INCREASING ACROSS MN AND WSTRN WI...IN THE
WAKE OF THE COLD FRONT.

EVEN THOUGH THE BEST LIFT AND DEEPEST MOISTURE WILL BE EAST OF WI
BY 12Z...LINGERING LGT SNOW AND FLURRIES WILL CONTINUE THIS
MORNING AS THE SECONDARY S/W TROF SHIFTS THROUGH NE WI. SOME
FREEZING DRIZZLE HAS BEEN REPORTED IN SE MN...NE IA AND SW WI...
WHERE MID-LEVEL MOISTURE HAS SHALLOWED OUT. HOWEVER...MOISTURE/
TEMPERATURE TIME SECTIONS SUPPORT SOME ICE WITHIN THE SATURATED
LAYER OVER GRB CWA...SO EXPECT FZDZ THREAT TO REMAIN TO OUR
SOUTH.

LK-EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL INCREASE IN NC WI THIS MORNING AS
COLDER AIR CROSSES WSTRN LK SUP...RESULTING IN LK-H8 DELTA-TS
INCREASING TO 22-24 C...AND WINDS VEER TO A FAVORABLE NNW TRAJ.
HOWEVER...BY THE TIME THE STG INSTABILITY DEVELOPS...SUBSIDENCE
WILL BE INCREASING IN THE WAKE OF THE SECONDARY S/W TROF. IN
ADDITION...VERY DRY AIR WILL BE WORKING ITS WAY ACROSS WSTRN
LK SUP DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVG HOURS...SO THIS IS SETTING
UP TO BE A SHORT-LIVED EVENT. GIVEN THE NEGATIVE FACTORS...
WILL ONLY FCST MODEST ACCUMS OF UP TO 3 INCHES IN NW VILAS
COUNTY FOR TODAY...WITH LITTLE ADDL ACCUMS THIS EVG. SOME
SCT LK-EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS MAY ALSO SPILL ACROSS THE CENTRAL
U.P. INTO NORTHERN DOOR COUNTY THIS AFTERNOON/EVG...BUT LITTLE
ACCUM IS EXPECTED.

EXPECT WINDS TO KICK UP LATER THIS MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON...
WITH FREQUENT GUSTS TO 30-35 MPH IN MOST LOCATIONS. GUSTS TO
45 MPH ARE PSBL ACROSS NORTHERN DOOR COUNTY DURING THE LATE
AFT AND EVG. THE WINDS WILL CAUSE AREAS OF BLOWING/DRIFTING
SNOW...ESP IN OPEN AREAS.

EXPECT SKIES TO CLEAR ACROSS MOST OF THE FA TONIGHT AS HIGH
PRESSURE AND ASSOC DRY AIR MOVES INTO WI. MORNING SUNSHINE WILL
GIVE WAY TO INCREASING AFTERNOON CLOUDS ON SUNDAY. MOST MODELS
HAVE TRENDED SLOWER WITH THE NEXT SNOW BAND...WHICH SHD ARRIVE
SUNDAY EVG. HAVE JUST KEPT A SMALL POP IN OUR SW COUNTIES FOR
LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON TO MATCH UP WITH NEIGHBORING OFFICES.

TEMPS WILL NOT WARM MUCH TODAY...AND SHOULD DROP QUICKLY DURING
THE LATE AFTERNOON. STAYED TOWARD THE COOLER SIDE OF THE GUIDANCE
NUMBERS THROUGH THE PERIOD...WITH SOME BLO ZERO READINGS LIKELY
IN NC/C WI TONIGHT.

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY NGT THRU NXT FRI. VERY ACTIVE WEATHER PATN TO
CONT THIS UPCOMING WEEK AS A POTENTIAL SNOW STORM LOOMS EARLY IN
THE WEEK...FOLLOWED BY A SERIES OF CLIPPER SYSTEMS. TRYING TO GET
A HANDLE ON ALL OF THIS (TIMING-WISE) IS THE BIGGEST FCST
CHALLENGE.

A WEAK SHRTWV TROF PUSHES TOWARD THE UPR MIDWEST SUNDAY NGT...BUT
IT IS THE WAA MOVG INTO THE WRN GREAT LKS THAT WL BE THE MAIN
WEATHER FEATURE TO GENERATE LGT SNOW FOR NE WI. BASED ON THE
STRENGTH OF THE ISEN LIFT/WAA AND FAVORABLE UPR JET DYNAMICS...CAN
SEE ANOTHER BROAD 1 TO 2 INCHES OF SNOW AFFECT THE FCST AREA WITH
AN ISOLATED 3 AMT PSBL. BETWEEN THICKENING CLDS AND SOUTHERLY
WNDS OVR THE RGN...DO NOT SEE TEMPS DROPPING TOO MUCH SUNDAY NGT.
PREV FCST READINGS DO LOOK GOOD AND MADE ONLY COSMETIC CHGS TO MIN
TEMPS. THE WEAK SHRTWV TROF ZIPS INTO THE WRN GREAT LKS ON MON
ACCOMPANIED BY A WEAK CDFNT WHICH MOVS INTO WI MON AFTERNOON. WAA
SNOWS DIMINISH TO A CERTAIN DEG BUT WITH THE FNT APPROACHING...WL
NEED TO KEEP CHC POPS IN THE FCST. PREV SHIFT MENTIONED SOME
FREEZING DRZL MAY MIX WITH THE LGT SNOW AND FCST SNDNGS FROM BOTH
THE NAM AND GFS SUGGEST THIS POSSIBILITY EXISTS WITH A DRY MID LYR
AND NO ICE CRYSTALS IN THE FAVORED CLD LYR. TEMPS REACHING THE 20S
STILL LOOK GOOD AS SOUTHERLY WNDS PERSIST AHD OF THE ADVANCING
CDFNT.

THE FCST FOR MON NGT IS STILL VERY DICEY AT THIS TIME AS MDLS CONT
TO STRUGGLE WITH HOW MUCH INTERACTION WL TAKE PLACE BETWEEN THE
MORE DOCILE NRN STREAM AND MORE ACTIVE SRN STREAM. THE GFS CONTS
TO ADVERTISE LESS INTERACTION WHILE THE NAM/CANADIAN/AND ESP THE
ECMWF HAVE MORE INTERACTION WITH THE UKMET SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN.
WOULD LIKE TO SEE A LITTLE BETTER MDL COHESIVENESS BEFORE JUMPING
ON A POTENTIAL SNOW STORM. IT APRS THAT E-CNTRL WI WOULD HAVE THE
BEST CHC OF SNOW MON NGT AND NUDGED POPS UP TO HI CHC. THE OTHER
SECTION TO KEEP AN EYE ON IS VILAS CNTY WHERE WNDS TURNING NORTH
BEHIND THE CDFNT MAY BRING SOME LK EFFECT SNOWS INTO THAT PART OF
THE FCST AREA. THE TRICKY FCST CONTS INTO TUE AS THE MDLS SEEM TO
WANT TO PHASE BOTH STREAMS WHICH WOULD PLACE A LONGWV TROF FROM
ONTARIO SWWD...THRU THE WRN GREAT LKS...ALL THE WAY TO THE TX
PANHANDLE. BULK OF PCPN TO FALL WELL TO OUR SOUTH WHERE A SFC LOW
WOULD INTERACT WITH PLENTIFUL GULF MSTR...A TIGHT BAROCLINIC ZONE
AND THE RIGHT ENTRANCE RGN OF THE UPR JET. FOR NE WI...WE SHOULD
BE ON THE NRN EDGE OF A LRG PCPN SHIELD WITH THE SE HALF OF THE
FCST AREA MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO LGT SNOW. NORTHERLY WNDS TO PERSIST...
THEREFORE EXPECT ANOTHER ROUND OF LK EFFECT SNOW FOR N-CNTRL WI.
HAVE RAISED POPS A BIT FOR PARTS OF CNTRL/E-CNTRL WI AS WELL AS
VILAS CNTY.

MAIN FORCING/LIFT FROM THIS SYSTEM SHIFTS TO OUR EAST TUE NGT...SO
OTHER THAN PERHAPS SOME LINGERING FLURRIES...EXPECT MOST OF THE
SNOW TO BE OVER WITH. EXCEPTION TO REMAIN N-CNTRL WI WHERE NW WNDS
CONT TO BRING LK EFFECT SNOW SHWRS INLAND. ACCUMULATIONS WL DEPEND
ON THE DEPTH OF THE COLD AIR AS MDLS DIFFER IN THIS REGARD. IF THE
COLDER GFS IS CORRECT (8H TEMPS OF -24C OVR LK SUPERIOR)...WE WOULD
BE LOOKING AT PSBL HEADLINES. THE 00Z MDLS HAVE SLOWED THE APPROACH
OF THE NXT CLIPPER SYSTEM FOR WED. CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT ANY
LGT SNOW WOULD NOT REACH CNTRL WI TIL LTR IN THE DAY SO HAVE
LOWERED POPS FOR ERN WI.

THIS CLIPPER QUICKLY MOVS THRU THE WRN GREAT LKS WED NGT AND IS
ALREADY HEADED TOWARD THE ERN GREAT LKS BY THU. HAVE RAISED POPS
TO CHC CATEGORY FOR ALL OF NE WI WED NGT WITH THE SNOW ALL BUT
GONE BY THU. ANY BREAK IN THE SNOW APRS SHORT-LIVED AS YET ANOTHER
CLIPPER APPROACHES ON FRI. SINCE TIMING OF THESE CLIPPERS ARE
DIFFICULT THIS FAR OUT...PREFER TO DEFER FRIS CLIPPER TO THE NXT
SHIFT.
&&

.AVIATION...MVFR CIGS/VSBYS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST
AREA EARLY IN THE DAY...FOLLOWED BY IMPROVING CONDITIONS OUTSIDE
OF THE LK SUP SNOWBELT RGN THIS AFTERNOON. WIDESPREAD CLEARING IS
ANTICIPATED THIS EVG. NW WINDS WILL INCREASE BY LATE MORNING...WITH
FREQUENT GUSTS TO 25-30 KTS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVG.
&&

.MARINE...HAVE UPGRADED THE GALE WATCH TO A GALE WARNING FOR THE
BAY AND NORTHERNMOST LK MICH MARINE ZONES THROUGH 12Z/SUN. THE
BEST CHC OF GALE FORCE GUSTS OVER 40 KTS WILL BE BETWEEN 21Z/SAT
AND 03Z/SUN. THE REST OF THE MARINE FCST AREA WILL HAVE AN SCA IN
EFFECT THROUGH 12Z/SUN.
&&

.GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
