AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
304 PM CST SUN NOV 24 2013

FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR ROUTINE AFTERNOON FORECAST ISSUANCE

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND MONDAY
ISSUED AT 303 PM CST SUN NOV 24 2013

WINDS AND CHANCES FOR SNOW/FREEZING DRIZZLE ARE MAIN CONCERNS
TONIGHT INTO MONDAY.

INCREASING WINDS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE NIGHT AS PRESSURE
GRADIENT TIGHTENS AND LOW LEVEL JET CRANKS UP. WINDS WILL GUSTS
TO AROUND 30 MPH...WITH GUSTS TO OVER 40 MPH OVER DOOR COUNTY.

APPROACHING FRONT AND SHORTWAVE ENERGY FROM THE NORTHWEST WILL
INCREASE LIFT THROUGH THE NIGHT. LIKE THE PREVIOUS FORECAST...
SATURATION CONCERNS STILL EXIST FOR LIGHT SNOW OR LIGHT FREEZING
DRIZZLE OVERNIGHT. THINK THERE WILL BE A BRIEF PERIOD OF ENOUGH
SATURATION FOR A PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW LATE TONIGHT NORTH AND
WEST OF THE FOX VALLEY AND THEN ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA MONDAY
MORNING. THINKING A FEW TENTHS OF AN INCH OF SNOW AT MOST SPOTS AT
BEST. FREEZING DRIZZLE IS STILL POSSIBLE AS SOME OF THE MID LEVEL
MOISTURE IS SCOURED OUT. HIGHS ON WEDNESDAY WILL BE CONSIDERABLY
WARMER...IN THE UPPER 20S TO LOWER 30S.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY
ISSUED AT 303 PM CST SUN NOV 24 2013

SPLIT UPPER FLOW FORECAST TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE END
OF THE WEEK WITH SOME ARCTIC AIR ARRIVING AT TIMES AND MODERATING
TRENDS AT OTHERS. NO GULF MOISTURE TO SPEAK OF WITH THE SPLIT FLOW
SO A GENERALLY DRY PATTERN OUTSIDE OF LAKE EFFECT SNOW. LAKE EFFECT
SNOW LOOKS LIKELY LATE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT BUT SNOW
ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE MODERATED BY UNFAVORABLE WIND DIRECTION AT
TIMES. LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL BE SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW OVER A DAY
OR TWO IN THE SNOW BELTS WITH SNOW SHOWERS OR FLURRIES DOWNSTREAM.

.AVIATION...FOR 00Z TAF ISSUANCE
ISSUED AT 303 PM CST SUN NOV 24 2013

GUSTY WINDS AND CHANCES FOR SNOW/FREEZING DRIZZLE MAIN CONCERN
FOR TONIGHT INTO MONDAY. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE THIS
AFTERNOON. BY TONIGHT...WINDS WILL BE FROM 210-230 DEGREES AT 15
TO 25 KNOTS WITH GUSTS AROUND 30 KNOTS. DESPITE THE GUSTY LOW
LEVEL WINDS AT THE SURFACE...CONTINUED TO MENTION WIND SHEAR IN
THE TAFS WITH AROUND 60 KNOTS AROUND TWO THOUSAND FEET. LATER
TONIGHT...SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATE
TONIGHT IN MONDAY MORNING. MODELS SOUNDINGS WOULD SUGGEST LIGHT
SNOW/FREEZING DRIZZLE DEPENDING ON THE MOISTURE PROFILES OF THE
SOUNDINGS. STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE FREEZING DRIZZLE
ASPECT SINCE CEILING HEIGHTS OFF THE NUMERICAL GUIDANCE STILL
FAIRLY HIGH FOR THIS TYPE OF EVENT TO OCCUR. A CONTINUED CHANCE OF
LIGHT SNOW OR FREEZING DRIZZLE WILL CONTINUE MONDAY MORNING AS A
SURFACE BOUNDARY MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. AGAIN...GUSTY SOUTHWEST
WINDS WILL CONTINUE...BUT SHOULD GRADUALLY SUBSIDE MONDAY AFTERNOON.
CIGS WILL DROP INTO THE MVFR CATEGORY FOR THE MOST PART LATER
TONIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING.
