AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
635 AM CDT SUN OCT 16 2011

UPDATED AVIATION PORTION FOR NEW TAF ISSUANCE

.SHORT TERM...TODAY/TONIGHT/MONDAY. ISOLATED SHOWERS WILL END
OVER PARTS OF CENTRAL AND EAST CENTRAL WISCONSIN EARLY THIS
MORNING...AS THE WEAK TROUGH WITHIN THE LFQ REGION OF THE UPPER
JET PASSES THROUGH. HOWEVER ANOTHER WEAK SHORT WAVE LURKS UPSTREAM
THIS MORNING OVER THE DAKOTAS EARLY THIS MORNING. SUBTLE SURFACE
WIND SHIFT FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHWEST NOTED WITH THIS SHORT WAVE.
HOWEVER THIS FEATURE IS ON THE LEADING EDGE OF A POLAR VORTEX OF
VERY COLD AIR ALOFT PROGGED TO PASS OVER LATE MORNING OVER NORTH
CENTRAL WISCONSIN AND OVER THE REST OF THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON.
ISOLD SHOWERS OR SPRINKLES ALREADY NOTED WITH THIS FEATURE OVER
THE DAKOTAS AND NORTHWEST MINNESOTA SO WILL ADD A TOKEN MENTION OF
ISOLATED SHOWERS TODAY BUT WILL RESTRICT THE TIME OF THE EVENT
SINCE THIS FEATURE WILL BE PASSING OVER FAIRLY QUICKLY. WILL HANG
ONTO A SMALL PCPN MENTION A BIT LONGER INTO THE AFTERNOON OVER
NORTHERN WISCONSIN WHERE THE CORE OF THE COLD AIR IS TRACKING
OVER. STEEP LAPSE RATES DEVELOP BUT AGAIN DO NOT EXPECT ANYTHING
MORE THAN A PASSING LIGHT SHOWER OR SPRINKLE AS SURFACE DEWPOINTS
FALL INTO THE 30S.

ANTICIPATE CLEARING SKIES TONIGHT IN THE WAKE OF THE SHORT WAVE
AND SURFACE DEWPOINTS FALLING INTO THE 20S. LATE TONIGHT AND
ESPECIALLY INTO MONDAY...SYSTEM CLOUDS FROM DEEP UPPER LOW OVER
SOUTHERN CANADA WILL BEGIN TO SAG SOUTH AS THE SYSTEM PIVOTS
TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES REGION.

BRISK WEST WINDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE AGAIN TODAY...ESPECIALLY
AFTER THE SHORT WAVE PASSES OVER THIS AFTERNOON. AFTER SOME
DIURNAL DECREASE TONIGHT...BRISK WEST WINDS WILL RETURN FOR
START OF MONDAY AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS STRONG.

SHOULD BE MENTION DCAPES VALUES INCREASE THIS AFTERNOON AS THE
COLD AIR ALOFT SPREADS OVER. A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS WHICH DEVELOP OR
EVEN VIRGA MAY HAVE SOME GUSTY WINDS DURING PASSAGE.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY.

THE MAIN CONCERN DURING THIS PART OF THE FORECAST IS LAKE-EFFECT
PRECIPITATION IN NORTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN. OTHER THAN THAT NO
SIGNIFICANT SYSTEMS ARE EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE FORECAST AREA.
MODELS HAD A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE STATE DURING THE EARLY
PART OF NEXT WEEKEND...BUT MOISTURE WAS LACKING SO KEPT THE POPS
LOW. COLLABORATED WITH MQT AND DLH ON POPS WITH LAKE EFFECT THAT
APPEARS TO BEGIN ON MONDAY NIGHT AS NORTHERLY FLOW BRINGS A COLDER
AIR MASS OVER THE RELATIVELY WARM WATERS OF LAKE SUPERIOR. TEMPERATURES
DURING THE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNINGS WILL BE COLD ENOUGH THAT A
MENTION OF SNOW SHOWERS WAS NEEDED IN NORTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN. AS
A SURFACE RIDGE PUSHES EAST ACROSS WISCONSIN WINDS WILL BECOME
LEFF FAVORABLE FOR LAKE EFFECT IN THE FORECAST AREA SO HAVE
PRECIPITATION MOVING OUT BY THURSDAY MORNING.

TEMPERATURES SHOULD GENERALLY BE BELOW NORMAL THROUGH MIDWEEK.
&&

.AVIATION...MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TODAY AND TONIGHT. MAIN
WEATHER PARAMETER WILL BE GUSTY WEST WINDS DUE TO A PERSISTENT
STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT AROUND A LARGE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
NORTHEAST OF LAKE SUPERIOR. WINDS EXPECTED TO INCREASE TODAY AND
BECOME GUSTY TODAY IN THE WAKE OF AN UPPER DISTURBANCE PASSING
OVER THE AREA. WINDS WILL EASE BACK SOME TONIGHT BUT WILL BE ON
THE INCREASE AGAIN MONDAY. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND VIRGA MAY BE
ASSOCIATED WITH THE DISTURBANCE. ATMOSPHERE CONDITIONS INDICATE
GUSTY WINDS MAY BE OCCUR WITH SOME OF THIS LIGHT CONVECTION DUE
TO THE STEEP LAPSE RATES DEVELOPING IN THE COLDER DRIER AIR MASS
WORKING INTO THE AREA.

TDH
&&

.MARINE...WILL EXPAND THE SCA TO INCLUDE THE REST OF THE MARINE
AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY TODAY. ANTICIPATED WINDS MAY DIMINISH BELOW
CRITERIA TONIGHT BUT WILL PICK UP AGAIN FOR MONDAY SO WILL RUN THE
SCA WITHOUT ANY BREAK THOUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON. WINDS MAY BEGIN TO
RELAX LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON INTO MONDAY EVENING AS THE UPPER LOW
BEGINS TO PIVOT SOUTH TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES REGION.
&&

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