AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
310 PM CST SUN DEC 27 2009

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND MONDAY
ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE REGION LATER TONIGHT.
GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT AND WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH MONDAY. MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND SCATTERED FLURRIES WILL
CONTINUE INTO MONDAY MORNING SOUTH OF A MERRILL TO WAUSAUKEE LINE.
CLOUDS WILL BE ON THE DECREASE DURING THE DAY DUE TO DRIER AND
STRONG SUBSIDENCE ACROSS THE AREA. SKIES SHOULD BE MOSTLY SUNNY
BY AFTERNOON. OVER THE NORTH...WIND TRAJECTORY FAVORABLE FOR
LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS...ESPECIALLY LATE TONIGHT INTO MONDAY.
SEVERAL CONCERNS ARE FAR SNOWFALL TOTALS IN THIS REGION. BUFKIT
SOUNDINGS INDICATED DRIER AIR AND STRONG SUBSIDENCE WORKING INTO
THE REGION LATER TONIGHT AND MONDAY. ALSO...BUFKIT ONLY INDICATED
INVERSION HEIGHTS AROUND 6500 FEET. WILL HAVE AN INCH OR TWO TONIGHT
AND AROUND AN INCH MONDAY IN THE SNOWBELT REGION OF VILAS COUNTY
WITH LIGHTER AMOUNTS OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE NORTH. THESE CONDITIONS
DUE NOT MEET LAKE EFFECT SNOW ADVISORY CRITERIA.

TRICKY FORECAST FOR TONIGHT AND MONDAY WITH RESPECT TO HOURLY
TEMPERATURES. FOR THIS EVENING...ENOUGH BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS
AND LIGHT WINDS THAT THERE COULD BE SOME DROP IN TEMPERATURES
EARLY THIS EVENING. AS ARCTIC BOUNDARY APPROACHES...TEMPERATURES
AND WINDS WILL RISE SOME BEFORE TEMPERATURES GRADUALLY FALL
LATER TONIGHT OVER THE FAR WEST. ON MONDAY...NUMERICAL GUIDANCE
INDICATED A FEW DEGREE RISE OR NEARLY STEADY TEMPERATURES. WILL
NOT GET FANCY ON WORDING TONIGHT. ENOUGH TEMPERATURE RISE SEEN
IN THE DAKOTAS TODAY TO NOT WARRANT STEADY OR FALLING TEMPERATURES.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY.

EARLY IN THE WORK WEEK...DEEP UPPER TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN GREAT
LAKES WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTHEAST WHILE SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS ACROSS THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. EXPECT GENERALLY BENIGN
WEATHER THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. ANY LINGERING LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS NEAR LAKE SUPERIOR SHOULD QUICKLY COME TO AN END MONDAY
EVENING AS BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW BECOMES WESTERLY.

WEAK CLIPPER SYSTEM FORECAST TO DEVELOP NEAR LAKE WINNIPEG ON
WEDNESDAY WITH ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW FORECAST TO HEAD SOUTHEAST
ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR WEDNESDAY NIGHT. MEANWHILE...ANOTHER WEAK
SOUTHERN STREAM IMPULSE HEADS NORTHEAST TOWARD THE UPPER MIDWEST.
COMBINATION OF THESE TWO DISTURBANCES JUSTIFIES INCREASING POPS INTO
THE CHANCE CATEGORY WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS COLD FRONT FORECAST TO PUSH
ACROSS THE STATE. OTHER THAN SOME MODEST LOW-LEVEL WARM
ADVECTION...OVERALL FORCING NOT VERY IMPRESSIVE. ALSO WITH SYSTEM
FORECAST TO BE RATHER PROGRESSIVE...EXPECT GENERALLY LIGHT AND
SHOWERY PRECIPITATION AS FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE AREA.

ALTHOUGH THERE IS STILL A FAIR AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE EXACT
EVOLUTION...MEDIUM RANGE GUIDANCE SUGGESTS DEEPENING UPPER TROUGH
OVER THE GREAT LAKES BY THE WEEKEND. THIS RESULTS IN A LINGERING
SURFACE TROUGH ACROSS THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. APPEARS COMBINATION
OF SURFACE TROUGH...FAVORABLE OVER WATER INSTABILITY AND BOUNDARY
LAYER FETCH SHOULD HELP TO INITIATE LES IN FAVORABLE SNOWBELT
STARTING THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND CONTINUING INTO THE WEEKEND. ALSO
KEPT CHANCE SNOW SHOWERS ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA GIVEN
UPPER TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE REFLECTION. OPER GFS AND
ECMWF DRIVE -20C 85O ISOTHERM INTO FORECAST AREA FRIDAY EVENING.
TRENDED DOWNWARD ON MAX/MIN TEMPS A FEW DEGREES STARTING THURSDAY

INTO MONDAY MORNING. IFR CEILINGS WILL BE MORE WIDESPREAD IN THIS
REGION. CONDITIONS SHOULD IMPROVE SUBSTANTIALLY MONDAY AFTERNOON
AS DRY AIR AND STRONG SUBSIDENCE BUILDS INTO THE REGION. ONLY
A FEW FLURRIES MAY LINGER BY LATE AFTERNOON OVER THE FAR NORTH.
&&
