...MAJOR WINTER STORM TO AFFECT THE AREA MID-WEEK...

.A POWERFUL STORM SYSTEM WILL DEVELOP OVER THE ROCKIES TODAY...
AND THEN MOVE ACROSS THE PLAINS TUESDAY. THE STORM WILL CROSS THE
WESTERN GREAT LAKES REGION TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...BRINGING
SNOW TO THE AREA. WARMER AIR SURGING BACK TOWARD THE AREA FROM
THE SOUTH COULD CAUSE THE SNOW TO MIX WITH OR CHANGE TO SLEET OR
FREEZING RAIN FOR A TIME OVER PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND EAST-
CENTRAL WISCONSIN LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING.

* SOME LIGHT SNOW COULD DEVELOP OVER CENTRAL AND NORTH-CENTRAL 
  WISCONSIN AS EARLY AS MID-DAY TUESDAY...BUT THE SIGNIFICANT 
  SNOW IS EXPECTED TO FALL TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. THE SNOW 
  COULD BE HEAVY AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND 
  WEDNESDAY MORNING. 

* SNOWFALL TOTALS OF 5 TO 8 INCHES ARE EXPECTED SOUTH OF A 
  KEWAUNEE TO WISCONSIN RAPIDS LINE...WHILE TOTALS OF 9 TO 15 
  INCHES ARE EXPECTED NORTH OF THIS LINE BY WEDNESDAY EVENING. 
  SNOWFALL TOTALS ARE STILL SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN ACROSS PORTIONS 
  OF CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST WISCONSIN DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF WARM 
  AIR WORKING INTO THE REGION. THE AMOUNT OF WARM AIR WILL 
  SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT PRECIPITATION TYPES AND SNOWFALL TOTALS 
  IN THIS REGION. 

* STRONG EAST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO CAUSE CONSIDERABLE BLOWING 
  AND DRIFTING OF THE SNOW. THE SNOW COMBINED WITH BLOWING AND 
  DRIFTING SNOW WILL MAKE TRAVEL VERY DIFFICULT. SLEET AND 
  FREEZING RAIN MIXING WITH THE SNOW OVER PORTIONS OF EAST- 
  CENTRAL WISCONSIN WILL RESULT IN A VERY HEAVY WET SNOW...WHICH 
  WILL BE DIFFICULT TO SHOVEL OR PLOW. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS. GUSTY WINDS WILL ALSO CAUSE BLOWING AND
DRIFTING OF THE SNOW. THE COMBINATION OF SNOW AND BLOWING AND
DRIFTING SNOW COULD SEVERELY IMPACT TRAVEL. BE SURE TO CLOSELY

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
346 AM CST MON FEB 27 2012

.SYNOPSIS...SIGNIFICANT STORM TO AFFECT THE AREA MID-WEEK WITH
SNOW NORTH...AND SNOW/MIXED PRECIPITATION ACROSS SOUTHERN PARTS
OF THE FORECAST AREA. WINTER STORM WATCH WILL BE POSTED FOR THE
ENTIRE FORECAST AREA FOR TUESDAY EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY.

THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN WAS TRENDING BACK INTO A SPLIT FLOW
REGIME...BUT UNLIKE MUCH OF THE WINTER...THE SRN STREAM WL BE STG
AND AMPLIFIED AND DOMINATE THE WX ACRS THE FCST AREA. IT WL BRING
A SERIES OF CYCLONES ACRS THE FCST AREA...RESULTING IN ACTIVE WX
WITH ABV NORMAL PCPN. THE SPLIT FLOW WL STILL KEEP VERY COLD AIR
BOTTLED UP TO THE N...AND RESULT IN AOA NORMAL TEMPS.
&&

.SHORT TERM...TDA/TNGT/TUE. RELATIVELY QUIET WX EXPECTED TDA.
CYCLONE THAT BROUGHT A LITTLE SNOW TO THE FAR N YDA WL PULL OFF TO
THE E. NWLY FLOW ACRS LAKE SUPERIOR WL BE FAVORABLE FOR SOME LAKE-
EFFECT FOR A SHORT TIME THIS MORNING...THEN SUBSIDENCE SHOULD HELP
ERODE THE CLDS ACRS THE FCST AREA DURING THE DAY.

SFC RIDGE WL SLIDE ACRS THE AREA TNGT. THE CLR SKIES AND LGT WINDS
EARLY SHOULD ALLOW TEMPS TO DROP OFF SUBSTANTIALLY...THOUGH THE
ARRIVAL OF CI AND A DEVELOPING LGT SELY FLOW COULD RESULT IN TEMPS
BOUNCING BACK LATE. WENT BLO GUID IN THE TYPICAL COLD AREAS...ESP
IN THE N.

MODELS OFFERED DIFFERING IDEAS ON WHEN/WHERE PCPN FM THE MID-WEEK
STORM WILL BREAK OUT. OVERALL...PREFERRED THE ECMWF AND 06Z NAM IN
SHOWING THE POTENTIAL FOR INITIAL LGT PCPN TO DEVELOP OVER NRN
WI...IN THE RRQ OF UPR JET OVER ONTARIO. MORE SIG PCPN IN ISENT
LIFT-ZONE AHEAD OF THE MAIN CYCLONE COULD REACH THE SWRN PART OF
THE FCST AREA LATE IN THE DAY. WEDGE OF DRIER AIR ARND 850 MB
CIRCULATING BACK OUT OF THE DEPARTING HIGH WL LIKELY CUT ACRS E-C
WI DURING THE DAY...SO LOWEST CHC OF MEAS PCPN THERE. BUT BOTH
MESO WRF RUNS DEPICTED LGT LAKE-EFFECT PCPN BACKING INT THE WI
SHORELINE...FALLING FM LAKE-CLDS BLO THE DRIER AIR ALOFT. SO WL
CARRY FLURRIES LAKESIDE. STRUCTURED FCST WITH HIGHEST POPS IN THE
MORNING ACRS THE N...AND THEN HIGHER POPS OVER THE SW IN THE AFTN.
KEPT POPS IN CHC CATEGORY...AS FEELING IS THAT SIG SNOWS WL HOLD
OFF UNTIL TUE NGT. THUS DELATED THE START OF THE WATCH UNTIL TUE
NGT.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY.
A SLOW MOVING MAJOR WINTER STORM WILL IMPACT THE AREA TUESDAY
NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY...THEN THE SNOW WILL COME TO AN END WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AS THE SYSTEM MOVES AWAY FROM THE AREA. THE MODELS CONTINUE
TO STRUGGLE WITH ARRIVAL OF THE HEAVIER SNOW AS THE GFS/WRF WERE
ABOUT 6 HOURS QUICKER THAN THE CANADIAN/ECMWF. HAVE TRENDED TOWARD
THE SLOWER SOLUTION FOR TUESDAY EVENING...THUS LOWERED CHANCES FOR
SNOW...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE NORTHEAST. THE HEAVIER SNOW WILL
ARRIVE ACROSS CENTRAL WISCONSIN AND NORTHEAST WISCONSIN DURING THE
LATE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS...AND ACROSS THE FAR NORTH
WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE LOW WILL SLOWLY WORK ACROSS WISCONSIN ON
WEDNESDAY. THE COMBINATION OF THE SURFACE LOW AND UPPER LOW WILL
CONTINUE TO BRING SNOW TO MUCH OF THE AREA.

LIKE THE LAST FEW DAYS...SNOWFALL TOTALS ACROSS NORTHEAST WISCONSIN
ARE PROBLEMATIC DUE TO AMOUNT OF WARM AIR ALOFT AND THE POTENTIAL
FOR THE DRY SLOT TO MOVE ACROSS THIS PORTION OF THE STATE. SIGNIFICANT
DIFFERENCES NOTED ON THE SOUNDINGS BETWEEN GREEN BAY...OSHKOSH AND
FOND DU LAC WHERE PRECIPITATION TYPES WILL SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT
SNOWFALL TOTALS. THE GFS IS CONSIDERABLY WARMER AND WOULD GIVE
MORE RAIN...FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET FOR LOCATIONS FROM GREEN BAY
ON SOUTHWARD. THE WRF WAS SOMEWHAT COLDER AND WOULD SUGGEST MAINLY
SNOW AND SOME SLEET AT GREEN BAY WITH A BETTER MIX OF RAIN...SLEET
AND FREEZING RAIN SOUTH OF APPLETON. WILL ALSO NEED TO CONSIDER
THE STRONG LIFT THAT MAY OFFSET THE WARMING ALOFT AS WELL. THE
DIFFERENCES IN THE WARM LAYER ALOFT CAN BE SEEN IN THE BUFKIT AND
COBB SNOW OUTPUTS. BOTH THE COBB AND BUFKIT DATA SUGGEST THAT 15
TO 20 INCHES OF SNOW WOULD OCCUR AT GREEN BAY OFF THE NAM WHILE
THE GFS MODEL ONLY SUGGESTED 3 TO 6 INCHES. INCREASING EAST WINDS
OFF THE COLD DRY CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO KEEP
A COLD POCKET AROUND 925MB...THEREFORE ANY SNOW THAT MELTS SHOULD
PARTIALLY OR COMPLETELY REFREEZE BEFORE HITTING THE GROUND.

THIS STORM HAS SIMILARITIES TO THE MARCH 22-23RD 2011 EVENT THAT
DROPPED NEARLY 18 INCHES OF SNOW AT GREEN BAY WHILE MANITOWOC AND
OSHKOSH ONLY RECEIVED 4 TO 7 INCHES OF SNOW WITH MORE MIXED
PRECIPITATION. THE SLOW MOVING NATURE OF THE SYSTEM IS ALSO A
CAUSE FOR CONCERN IF THE MIXED PRECIPITATION DOES NOT MATERIALIZE
OR THE DRY SLOT DOES NOT MOVE ACROSS NORTHEAST WISCONSIN.

THE SNOW WILL BECOME HEAVY AT TIMES LATE TUESDAY NIGHT. INCREASING
EAST WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS TO NEAR 40 MPH WILL CREATE
CONSIDERABLY BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF THE SNOW AND COULD CREATE
NEAR WHITE-OUT CONDITIONS. THE HEAVIER BAND OF SNOW SHOULD SHIFT
NORTH INTO NORTHERN AND FAR NORTHEAST WISCONSIN WEDNESDAY MORNING.
THE WINDS WILL GRADUALLY SUBSIDE FROM SOUTH TO NORTH WEDNESDAY
MORNING AS THE LOW APPROACHES THE AREA. THE SNOW MAY BE MIXED WITH
SLEET OR FREEZING RAIN ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE
FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY MORNING. SNOW WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE
ENTIRE AREA WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND COULD BE MIXED WITH A LITTLE
LIGHT RAIN ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST WISCONSIN.

DUE TO THE SLOWER MOVEMENT OF THE SYSTEM...INCREASED CHANCES FOR
LIGHT SNOW WEDNESDAY EVENING WITH AN ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATION
AROUND AN INCH OR LESS. HIGHEST CHANCES WILL BE ACROSS THE EAST.
CURRENTLY HAVE 5 TO 8 INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH AND 8 TO
15 INCHES NORTH OF A KEWAUNEE TO WISCONSIN RAPIDS LINE. WILL HAVE
TO WAIT AND SEE THE EVOLUTION OF THE WARM LAYER AND ITS IMPACTS ON
SNOWFALL TOTALS ACROSS NORTHEAST WISCONSIN. COULD NOT RULE OUT
GREEN BAY GETTING OVER A FOOT OF SNOW.

THE NEXT SYSTEM FOR THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY NIGHT IS BACK ON
BY ALL THE MODELS...AND LOOKING VERY IMPRESSIVE ON SOME. CURRENT
POP GRIDS LOOK REASONABLE FOR NOW. DID NOT WANT TO INCREASE POPS
TO LIKELY SINCE THERE HAS NOT BEEN GOOD CONTINUITY WITH THIS
SYSTEM. THE WORRYSOME THING IS THAT IT WOULD BE EXTEMELY RARE TO
HAVE A SECOND BIG STORM IN THE CENTRAL U.S. FOLLOW SO QUICKLY
AFTER THE FIRST.

LITTLE CHANGES TO THE REMAINDER OF THE FORECAST.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR 12Z TAF ISSUANCE...MVFR CIGS ACRS THE N WITH VFR
CIGS ACRS THE S EARLY THIS MORNING. WL PROBABLY SEE THE MVFR CIGS
EXPAND A LITTLE MORE TO THE SE DURING THE MORNING. THEN DRIER AIR
AND SUBSIDENCE SHOULD BREAK UP THE CIGS DURING THE DAY.
