AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
1131 AM CST MON DEC 17 2012

UPDATED AVIATION PORTION FOR 18Z TAF ISSUANCE

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY...SKY COVER AND TEMPERATURES
THROUGH THE PERIOD...AND PCPN CHANCES ON TUESDAY...WILL BE THE
MAIN FCST CONCERNS.

WIDESPREAD LOW CLOUDS COVERED THE CWA EARLY THIS MORNING...ALTHOUGH
THEY WERE BREAKING UP A BIT IN FAR NE WI...WHERE LIGHT DOWNSLOPING
NW FLOW WAS OCCURRING. MOS GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT THE LOW CLOUDS
WILL BREAK UP OVER C/EC WI THIS AFTERNOON...AS LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE
SHALLOWS OUT. HAVE TO BE A BIT SKEPTICAL OF THIS...GIVEN THE
PRESENCE OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE ON AREA SOUNDINGS...A HUGE EXPANSE
OF LOW CLOUDS ACROSS THE ENTIRE UPPER MIDWEST/WESTERN GREAT LAKES...
AND A LACK OF STRONG SUBSIDENCE AND WINDS. IF PARTIAL CLEARING DOES
OCCUR...IT WOULD PROBABLY BE IN FAR NE WI (DOWNSLOPE FLOW) OR CENTRAL
WI...WHERE A WEAK HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE WILL BE PRESENT. EVEN IF LOW
CLOUDS BREAK UP...SOME MID-LEVEL CLOUDS WILL PROBABLY KEEP SKIES
MOSTLY CLOUDY THIS AFTERNOON. USED A BLEND OF THE TOP-PERFORMING
GUIDANCE SET FOR MAX TEMPS...WHICH SHOULD RANGE FROM THE UPPER 20S
WEST TO THE MIDDLE 30S EAST.

A S/W TROF AND SOME WEAK WAA WILL IMPACT THE REGION TONIGHT...BUT
WITH A STRONG WEDGE OF DRY AIR BLO 800 MB...NO PCPN IS EXPECTED.
MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES ARE ANTICIPATED...ALONG WITH MIN TEMPERATURES
RANGING FROM THE MID TEENS IN NC WI TO THE MID TO UPPER 20S ALONG
THE LKSHR.

LOW PRESSURE TRACKING NEAR THE WI/IL BORDER...AN UPPER LEVEL TROF...
SOME WAA/ISENT LIFT AND WEAK MID-LEVEL FRONTOGENETIC FORCING (MAINLY
OVER C/EC WI) WILL CAUSE LIGHT SNOW TO DEVELOP ACROSS ABOUT THE SW
TWO-THIRDS OF THE GRB CWA ON TUESDAY. THE PCPN SHOULD BE LIGHT...
WITH ACCUMS GENERALLY A HALF INCH OR LESS. HIGH TEMPERATURES
SHOULD BE IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 30S.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SUNDAY.

THE LATEST GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN INDICATES THAT WILL SEE A PERSISTENT
BLOCKING RIDGE OVER THE CANADIAN MARITIMES AND A DEEP TROUGH OFF THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST COAST.  BETWEEN THESE FEATURES...WILL SEE ONE
SHORTWAVE OF INTEREST EJECT AROUND THE NORTHWEST COAST TROUGH AND
MOVE ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS MID TO LATE THIS WEEK.  ALTHOUGH THIS
SYSTEM HAS POTENTIAL TO CREATE A BIG SNOW STORM SOMEWHERE OVER THE
WESTERN GREAT LAKES...SPREAD HAS ACTUALLY INCREASED OVER THE PAST
SEVERAL DAYS OF RUNS IN THE MEDIUM RANGE MODEL SUITE.  BOTH THE
ECMWF AND THE GFS ENSEMBLE MEAN HAVE TRENDED SOUTH OVER THE PAST DAY
OR DAY AND A HALF OF RUNS...BUT THE NAM/GEM/AND GFS REMAIN ON A MORE
NORTHERLY HEADING.  WITH POOR SAMPLING REMAINING AN ISSUE WITH THE
WAVE (OVER THE NORTH-CENTRAL PACIFIC) AND THE BLOCKING RIDGE
DOWNSTREAM...THERE IS DEFINITELY ROOM FOR CHANGES OF THE TRACK OF
THE LARGE CYCLONE DUE TO IMPACT THE REGION LATER THIS WEEK.  FOR
THIS CYCLE WILL TREND A LITTLE FARTHER SOUTH USING A HPC PREFERRED
GFS/ECMWF BLEND.

TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WEAK AND SHEARED SHORTWAVE
AND ASSOCIATED 850MB TROUGH WILL FINISH CROSSING THE REGION IN AN
ENE MOTION TUESDAY NIGHT.  PROGGED SOUNDINGS ARE NEARLY SATURATED
OVER FAR NE WISCONSIN AT 00Z WED AND WILL INCREASE POPS INTO THE LOW
CHANCE RANGE.  THE TROUGH WILL BE NE OF THE DOOR PENINSULA BY 06Z
AND THINK DRY AIR DRIVEN BY WESTERLY FLOW WILL LIKELY CLEAR OUT
CLOUDS OVER CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST WISCONSIN DURING THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS.  NORTH-CENTRAL WILL LIKELY STAY ON THE CLOUDIER SIDE DUE TO
THEIR PROXIMITY TO A SURFACE LOW WHICH WILL BE MOVING OVER NORTHERN
MINNESOTA.  ANY LOW CLOUDINESS WILL LIKELY LIFT OFF TO THE NORTH
LATE WEDNESDAY MORNING OR EARLY AFTERNOON...BUT THEN WILL HAVE MID
AND HIGH CLOUDS INCREASING AHEAD OF A CYCLONE DEVELOPING OVER THE
PLAINS.  HIGHS ON WEDNESDAY WILL CONTINUE TO BE ABOVE NORMAL INTO
THE LOW TO MID 30S.  ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT...ALL EYES WILL BE ON THE
CENTRAL PLAINS CYCLONE AS IT STARTS TO MOVE NORTHEAST OVER THE
MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.  MID AND UPPER FORCING WILL INCREASE THROUGH
THE NIGHT...BUT THE ARRIVAL OF THE HEAVY SNOW WILL DEPEND ON THE
TRACK OF THE LOW AND SUBSEQUENT BAROCLINIC ZONE THAT WILL TIGHTEN
OVER THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES.  DO NOT SEE MUCH OF REASON TO CHANGE
POPS ATTM GIVEN THE INCREASING SPREAD IN THE MODELS.

REST OF THE FORECAST...THE CENTRAL PLAINS CYCLONE WILL CONTINUE TO
SWING TO THE NORTHEAST ACROSS THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES ON THURSDAY
AND INTO SOUTHEAST ONTARIO THURSDAY NIGHT.  EAST-CENTRAL AND
NORTHEAST WISCONSIN REMAIN THE PREFERRED LOCATION OF SEEING
SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATING SNOW AS AT LEAST PART OF THE TROWAL
AIRSTREAM WILL PASS OVER THIS PART OF THE STATE.  LIKELY TO LOW END
CATEGORICAL POPS REMAIN THE WAY TO GO HERE...BUT WILL KEEP QPF
TOTALS MODEST FOR THE TIME BEING UNTIL THE TRACK CAN GET BETTER
REFINED.  NORTHWEST WINDS WILL ALSO LIKELY BECOME A FACTOR LATE
THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY BEHIND THIS CYCLONE...AND COULD PRODUCE
BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF ANY SNOWFALL AND WILL ALSO CREATE A LAKE
EFFECT COMPONENT OVER N-C WISCONSIN.  CONDITIONS WILL CALM DOWN
LATER FRIDAY INTO FRIDAY NIGHT...SHUTTING OFF THE LAKE EFFECT THREAT
TEMPORARILY.  BUT WILL HAVE A WEAK WAVE PASS BY TO OUR NORTH ON
SATURDAY...FOLLOWED BY THE RETURN OF NW FLOW AS ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS INTO THE REGION.
&&

.AVIATION...CIGS MAINLY IN THE 1000 TO 1500 FOOT RANGE TODAY INTO
TONIGHT. CONTINUED PROBLEM WITH GUIDANCE ANTICIPATING THESE LOWER
CLOUDS ERODING LATER TODAY INTO TONIGHT...HOWEVER SAT IMAGERY SHOWS
PLENTY OF CLOUDS TO THE WEST IN THE WEAK FLOW. IN FACT CIGS AND
VSBYS WERE LOWERING OVER MINNESOTA AND NORTHERN IOWA WITH A
WEAKENING SHORT WAVE. WILL REMAIN PESSIMISTIC WITH THE CLOUDS AT
THIS TIME.
