AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
249 PM CST FRI DEC 21 2012

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. CLOUDS GRADUALLY THINNING AND
WINDS DIMINSHING AS SURFACE HIGH EDGES INTO STATE. TEMPS SHOULD
DROP AOB MOS GUIDANCE UNDER CLEARING SKIES WITH FRESH SNOW COVER.
TEMPS ALONG THE LK MICH SHORE SHOULD REMAIN NEAR 20 AS WINDS STAY
UP WELL INTO THE EVENING.

SEASONAL TEMPS ON SATURDAY AS SURFACE RIDGE SLIDES ACROSS THE
STATE. GFS MOS TEMPS LOOK REASONABLE.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT FRIDAY.

THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS AT THE START OF THE
PERIOD IS FORECAST TO BREAK DOWN EARLY NEXT WEEK. A SHORT WAVE
IS THEN EXPECTED TO PASS THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES REGION BUT THERE
DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE MUCH MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH IT...SO DID
NOT GO WITH ANYTHING HIGHER THAN SLIGHT CHANCE POPS FOR THE
SYSTEM.

MODELS SHOWED A MUCH STRONGER SYSTEM DEVELOPING OVER THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS AND THEN MOVING NORTHEAST DURING THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.
THIS SYSTEM SHOULD STAY FAR ENOUGH SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA THAT SOME
SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN THE FAR EASTERN PART OF THE AREA SHOULD
HANDLE THINGS...UNLESS THE FORECAST TRACK OF THE SYSTEM CHANGES.

ANOTHER SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA BEYOND THE END OF
THE FORECAST PERIOD. IT SHOULD TRACK ACROSS THE NORTHERN CONUS BUT
DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AS STRONG AS THE MID WEEK SYSTEM.

SLIGHTLY COLDER THAN NORMAL HIGHS CAN BE EXPECTED IN THE WAKE OF
THE SYSTEM EARLY IN THE WEEK. A SLIGHT WARM UP IS LIKELY BY THE END
OF THE WORK WEEK.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR 18Z TAF ISSUANCE. GRADUALLY IMPROVING CONDITIONS
EXPECTED. MVFR CIGS FOR THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON...THEN CLEARING
THIS EVE. NORTHWEST WINDS DIMINISHING AFTER SUNSET.
&&

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