AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
323 PM CST THU FEB 25 2010

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND FRIDAY...THE MAIN FCST CONCERNS ARE
TEMPS...THEN CLOUD TRENDS AND PCPN CHCS ON FRIDAY.

STG UPPER LOW OVER THE EAST COAST WAS THROWING SOME MOISTURE BACK
TOWARD THE GREAT LKS...ALONG WITH SOME S/W ENERGY. THIS WILL HAVE
AN IMPACT ON FRIDAY'S FCST. CLOSER TO HOME...LAKE-EFFECT CLOUDS
AND FLURRIES HAD DISSIPATED OVER FAR NC WI...DUE TO DRIER AIR
WORKING ITS WAY ACROSS WSTRN LK SUP...AND DAYTIME MIXING.

EXPECT MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES ACROSS GRB CWA TONIGHT...ALTHOUGH SCT
LK-EFFECT CLOUDS ARE ANTICIPATED ACROSS THE FAR NORTH...AND SOME
OF THE WRAP-AROUND CLOUDS FROM THE EAST COAST SYSTEM MAY BRUSH
OUR FAR NE COUNTIES LATE. DESPITE MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES...AN
INCREASING PRESSURE GRADIENT AND INCREASING BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS
SHOULD KEEP SFC WINDS FROM COMPLETELY DECOUPLING TONIGHT.
THUS...DON'T EXPECT TEMPS TO BOTTOM OUT LIKE THEY DID IN PARTS OF
NC WI LAST NIGHT. WENT WITH THE TOP-PERFORMING ADJMAVBC...WITH
SOME TWEAKS TO MATCH UP WITH MY COLDER NEIGHBORS TO THE NORTHWEST.

ON FRIDAY...MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT THAT MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE
TO INCREASE OVER EASTERN WI...RESULTING IN A CHC OF LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS
OR FLURRIES LATE IN THE DAY. HAVE INCREASED POPS...ESP ALONG THE
LKSHR. MIXING THROUGH 925-900 MB SHOULD YIELD MAX TEMPS IN THE UPPER
20S AND LOWER 30S. AN INCREASING PRESSURE GRADIENT AND WINDS ALOFT
WILL RESULT IN BLUSTERY/WINDY CONDITIONS OVER EASTERN WI. THE
WINDS WILL BE STRONGEST ACROSS NORTHERN DOOR COUNTY...WHERE GUSTS
TO 40 TO 45 MPH APPEAR LIKELY IN THE SISTER BAY/GILLS ROCK AREA.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY
UPPER LOW ACROSS THE EASTERN UNITED STATES IS EXPECTED TO
RETROGRADE WESTWARD OVER THE WEEKEND. ENOUGH UPPER LEVEL
ENERGY ROTATING AROUND THE UPPER LOW TO WARRANT A CHANCE
OF SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS EASTERN WISCONSIN FRIDAY NIGHT
INTO SATURDAY. ANOTHER BUT POTENT UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE
AND SHARP TROUGH WILL DROP SOUTHWARD OUT OF CANADA SATURDAY NIGHT
AND THEN MOVE ACROSS THE REGION SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. STILL
SOME SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES NOTED ON TIMING AND LOCATION OF UPPER
LEVEL FEATURE. STILL FEEL THIS COULD BRING A BAND OF HEAVIER SNOW
SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST DESPITE THE LOW QPF ON THE
MODELS DUE TO STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES. ALSO...HOW THE SYSTEM
PIVOTS ACROSS THE WESTERN LAKES MAY ALSO AID IN SOME AREAS
EXPERIENCING A PERIOD OF LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW. WHERE THIS WILL
SET UP MORE THAN LIKELY WILL HAVE TO WAIT TIL SATURDAY AFTERNOON
OR SATURDAY NIGHT UNTIL SYSTEM APPROACHES THE AREA.

OTHERWISE...A FAIRLY QUIET PATTERN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE
PERIOD EXCEPT FOR A CHANCE OF SNOW ON WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES
SHOULD BE FAIRLY SEASONABLE WITH HIGHS IN THE 30S MOST DAYS.
&&

.AVIATION...EXPECT MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY...
WITH THE POSSIBLE EXCEPTION OF LCL MVFR CIGS OVER FAR NORTHERN WI
LATE TONIGHT...AND MVFR CIGS/VSBYS WITH LGT SNOW SHOWERS IN FAR
EASTERN WI (MAINLY LKSHR COUNTIES) LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
&&

.MARINE...HAVE EXTENDED THE SCA THROUGH SATURDAY...AND UPGRADED
OUR NORTHERNMOST LK MICH MARINE ZONE TO GALE WARNING. A
STRENGTHENING PRESSURE GRADIENT...COMBINED WITH 925-850 MB WINDS
INCREASING TO AROUND 40 KTS...WILL RESULT IN GUSTS TO AROUND 40
KTS THROUGH DEATHS DOOR ON FRIDAY/FRIDAY EVG.
&&

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