AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
243 PM CST MON FEB 18 2013

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND TUESDAY.

MAIN ISSUES THIS PERIOD INCLUDE ARRIVAL OF THE PCPN THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING
AND LAKE EFFECT SNOW IN VILAS COUNTY...AS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
PASSES EAST THROUGH THE AREA AND DEEPENS.

HAVE SPENT MUCH OF DAY BACKING OFF ON IMPENDING PCPN CHANCES. WITH
LOW CLOUDS/LOW LEVEL MOISTURE NEVER MATERIALIZING AS ADVERTISED IN
MODELS...NO DRIZZLE. AT THIS TIME...PCPN SEEN RIGHT ALONG FRONT
OR JUST AHEAD OF SHORT WAVE MOVING THROUGH IOWA. LEADING EDGE NOW
MOVING INTO SOUTHWEST WI.

MODELS ALL SIMILAR HANDLING CURRENT SYSTEM. STRONG LIFT WITH WAA
PULLED NORTH AND EAST OF THE AREA THIS MORNING. BEST
DYNAMICS/MOISTURE STAYS SOUTH OF CWA ALONG FRONT OVER IL/SRN WI.
THOUGH CYCLONIC FLOW ALOFT/QG FORCING AND STEEPER MID LEVEL LAPSE
RATES /BUBBLY APPEARANCE OF CLOUDS IN SAT TO OUR SOUTHWEST/ ENOUGH
TO KEEP EXTENDED PERIOD OF SNOW/SNOW SHOWERS GOING OVER EASTERN WI
TONIGHT INTO TUE. HAVE AN OVERALL 1 TO 3 INCHES FOR NEXT 24 HOURS.
EXCEPTION IS OVER NORTH CENTRAL...MAINLY VILAS AS FAVORABLE
CONDITIONS DEVELOP FOR LAKE EFFECT. WINDS IN FAVORABLE 340
DIRECTION AND INSTABILITY STRONG FOR NEXT 24 HOURS. THOUGH NEED TO
TAPER AMOUNTS DUE TO LOWER INVERSION HEIGHTS ON MODELS...ICE
COVERAGE ON LAKE SUPERIOR AND STRENGTH OF WIND...LIMITING
RESIDENCE TIME OVER LAKE. HAVE BUMPED POPS A BIT SOUTH INTO ONEIDA
CTY DUE TO STRONG WINDS EXPECTED TO CARRY SHOWERS FURTHER INLAND.

SEE SAW IN TEMPS CONTINUES WITH TUE HIGHS BELOW SEASONABLE NORMS.
BLUSTERY NORTHWEST WINDS TO KEEP WIND CHILL VALUES BELOW ZERO
THROUGH TUESDAY.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT MONDAY. LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS SHOULD CONTINUE IN VILAS COUNTY TUESDAY NIGHT. WHILE
INSTABILITY IS NOT LACKING...THERE IS CONSIDERABLE DIRECTIONAL
WIND SHEAR AND WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR NOW HAS ALMOST 50 PERCENT ICE
COVER. SO WE ONLY EXPECT AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW AT MOST. WHATEVER
SNOW FLURRIES ARE LEFTOVER IN THE FAR NORTH SHOULD END EARLY
WEDNESDAY AS ARCTIC HIGH BUILDS INTO THE REGION. TEMPERATURES NEAR
OR BELOW ZERO AND A STEADY BREEZE SHOULD CREATE WIND CHILLS OF 15
TO 25 BELOW LATE TUESDAY NIGHT AND EARLY WEDNESDAY. MIGHT NEED A
WIND CHILL ADVISORY FOR PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA.

DRY...COLD WEATHER CONTINUES WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY AND THEN
WEAKENING LOW PRESSURE MOVES NORTHEAST FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
TOWARDS THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. THE MODELS HAVE BEEN SLOWING DOWN
THE ARRIVAL OF THE SNOW WHICH MAKES SENSE GIVEN THAT THE SYSTEM IS
MOVING TOWARDS A DRY ARCTIC HIGH. THINK THE SNOW SHOULD HOLD OFF
UNTIL THURSDAY EVENING. WHILE THE LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION IS
WEAKENING WITH TIME AND THE SYSTEM STAYS TO OUR WEST...IT SHOULD
BE ABLE TO PRODUCE A LONG PERIOD OF MAINLY LIGHT SNOW. MIGHT BE
ABLE TO GET 2 TO 4 INCHES OR PERHAPS A LITTLE MORE DEPENDING ON
SNOW TO WATER RATIO FOR THE THURSDAY EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY
EVENING PERIOD.

THEN DRY AND SEASONABLY COLD SATURDAY AND PROBABLY SUNDAY. THERE
ARE SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN TIMING AND STRENGTH WITH THE NEXT
SYSTEM EARLY NEXT WEEK SO MADE NO CHANGE TO NEXT WEEKEND.
&&

.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS EARLY TO GIVE WAY TO MVFR AND SCT IFR
CONDITIONS AS SFC LOW MOVES ACROSS WISC THIS AFTERNOON AND EVE.
STRONG LOW LEVEL WINDS FROM THE SOUTHWEST WILL LEAD TO LOW LEVEL
WIND SHEAR DURING THE MORNING.
&&

.MARINE... BRIEF LULL IN WINDS EXPECTED THIS EVENING WITH SURFACE
LOW PASSING OVER BUT WINDS TO INCREASE AGAIN BY TUESDAY WITH THE
DEEPENING LOW OVER LOWER MICHIGAN. GALE FORCE GUSTS POSSIBLE.
&&

.GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FROM 6 PM THIS EVENING TO 6 PM CST
TUESDAY FOR WIZ005.

307 PM CST MON FEB 18 2013

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST
WISCONSIN.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

LIGHT SNOW TONIGHT WITH ACCUMULATIONS OF ONE TO TWO INCHES WILL LIKELY
CREATE SLIPPERY ROADS OVER THE REGION. LOCALLY HIGHER SNOW AMOUNTS ARE
POSSIBLE IN THE SNOWBELT OF VILAS COUNTY.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

LAKE-EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL ALSO CONTINUE OVER THE SNOWBELT OF
NORTHERN WISCONSIN THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING. THIS WILL LIKELY
RESULT IN ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS ALONG WITH SNOW COVERED...SLIPPERY
ROADS.

STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS ON TUESDAY WILL CREATE AREAS OF BLOWING
AND DRIFTING SNOW OVER CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST WISCONSIN.

ANOTHER SHOT OF COLDER AIR IS FORECAST TO ARRIVE TUESDAY NIGHT AS
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE SLOW TO DIMINISH. SUB-ZERO LOW
TEMPERATURES...COMBINED WITH A 10 TO 15 MPH WIND...MAY PRODUCE
DANGEROUS WIND CHILL VALUES APPROACHING 25 BELOW ZERO BY DAYBREAK
ACROSS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL WISCONSIN.

HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AGAIN LATE IN THE WEEK. A
STORM DEVELOPING OVER THE PLAINS MID-WEEK WILL SLOWLY PUSH TOWARD
THE AREA. PRECIPITATION FROM THE STORM IS LIKELY TO BE IN THE
FORM OF SNOW WHEN IT REACHES OUR AREA SOMETIME LATE THURSDAY
AFTERNOON OR EVENING...BUT THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY IN THE
TIMING. ALTHOUGH THE STORM WILL PROBABLY PRODUCE ACCUMULATING
SNOWS LATE IN THE WEEK...IT IS INCREASINGLY LIKELY THAT THE

WEST OF OUR AREA. ANYONE WITH TRAVEL PLANS LATE IN THE WEEK SHOULD
MONITOR LATER FORECASTS FOR MORE UPDATED INFORMATION.
