AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
1018 PM CDT THU APR 11 2013

UPDATED AVIATION PORTION FOR 06Z TAF ISSUANCE

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 802 PM CDT THU APR 11 2013

BAND OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW MOVING ACROSS DOOR INTO EASTERN
SECTIONS OF MARINETTE COUNTIES THIS EVENING. PORTIONS OF NORTHERN
DOOR COUNTY COULD SEE A QUICK 3 TO 5 INCHES OVER THE FAR NORTH...
WITH 1 TO 3 INCHES TO THE SOUTH. THIS BAND OF HEAVIER SNOW WILL
SHIFT EAST OF DOOR COUNTY AFTER MIDNIGHT. THE BAND OF HEAVIER
PRECIPITATION ALSO SHIFTED JUST EAST OF THE FOX VALLEY...THUS
ONLY WENT WITH A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN THIS REGION. ICING WAS
OCCURRING ON WIND SHIELDS AT THE OFFICE AND ON THE TREES/METAL
POLES. THERE IS SOME CONCERN ABOUT MANITOWOC TO WINNEBAGO COUNTIES
AS TEMPERATURES ARE HOVERING A DEGREES OR TWO ABOVE FREEZING AT
THE MOMENT. TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT WILL BE CLOSE TO FREEZING...THUS
INCLUDED THEM IN THE ADVISORY. SOME OF THE GUIDANCE DOES KEEP THIS
REGION ABOVE FREEZING OVERNIGHT...SO ICING MAY NOT BE AS BIG OF
PROBLEM.

THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER ACROSS THE NORTH THIS EVENING.
THE STEEP MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL DIMINISH BY MID TO LATE EVENING...
THUS DID NOT ADD THUNDER TO THE FORECAST.

UPDATE
ISSUED AT 610 PM CDT THU APR 11 2013

WILL BE ISSUING HEADLINES FOR THE FOX VALLEY AND LAKESHORE DUE TO
SOME MINOR ICING ALREADY ON TREES/POWER LINES AND SLUG OF MOISTURE
HEADING NORTH/NORTHWEST. ASSESSING WHAT TYPE OF HEADLINES WILL BE
NEEDED. THAT IS BASED ON MODEL QPF TOTALS/PRECIPITATION TYPES
WHICH WILL BE NO EASY TASK. EVEN LOCATIONS THAT SEE FREEZING
RAIN/SLEET ACROSS NORTHEAST WISCONSIN COULD TURN OVER TO MODERATE
TO HEAVY SNOW AS HEAVY CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS MOVE INTO THE AREA
DURING THE EVENING.

THE COMBINATION OF ICING AND HEAVY WET SNOW COULD CAUSE CONSIDERABLE
TREE DAMAGE AND CAUSE POWER OUTAGES.

UPDATE
ISSUED AT 512 PM CDT THU APR 11 2013

ALREADY EXTENDED THE ADVISORY THAT ORIGINALLY EXPIRED AT 6 PM FOR
SEVERAL COUNTIES NORTH AND WEST OF THE FOX VALLEY. ATTENTION IS
NOW FOCUSED ON FAR NORTHEAST WISCONSIN...THE FOX VALLEY AND LAKESHORE
REGION. LATEST 18Z MODELS AND SOME OF THE MESOSCALE MODELS NOW FOCUSING
ON HEAVIER PRECIPITATION VERY LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT ACROSS
FAR NORTHEAST WISCONSIN INTO THE FOX VALLEY AND LAKESHORE REGIONS.
SOME OF THE MODELS HAVE A HALF INCH OF QPF.

LATEST RADAR TRENDS NOW SHOWING A BAND OF HEAVIER PRECIPITATION SWINGING
NORTH AND COULD EVEN SWING NORTHWEST INTO NORTHEAST WISCONSIN. RETURNS
STRONG ENOUGH THAT THEY COULD PRODUCE SOME EVAPORATIVE COOLING THAT
COULD COOL SURFACE TEMPERATURES TO OR SLIGHTLY BELOW FREEZING
ACROSS NORTHEAST WISCONSIN...OR COULD EVEN SWITCH TO MODERATE TO
HEAVY SNOW AT TIMES. VERY OMINOUS SIGNS ON RADAR AT THE MOMENT AND
WANT TO WATCH OVER THE NEXT HOUR. MORE THAN LIKELY WILL NEED TO
INCREASE ICE/SNOW TOTALS FOR THE TONIGHT PORTION OF THE FORECAST
ACROSS NORTHEAST WISCONSIN ONCE I FINISHED THE 00Z TAFS.

JUST RECEIVED A REPORT OF MINOR ICING IN MOUNTAIN OF A TENTH OF AN INCH
ALONG WITH ARCHING POWER LINES. DEPENDING ON HOW THINGS EVOLVE THIS
EVENING...MAY NEED TO BEEF UP ICING AND SNOW AMOUNTS IN SOME AREA.
WILL BEEF UP WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR NOW. THERE IS EVEN A REMOTE
POSSIBILITY OF UPGRADING TO A WARNING IF ICING BECOMES TOO BAD.

ALSO MODEL DATA CONTINUES TO SHOW 850MB WARM ADVECTION ALL THE WAY
THROUGH 12Z AS THE MAIN REASON MODEL QPF MAY NOT BE TOO BAD AND
THE POSSIBILITY OF UPGRADING TO A WARNING.

UPDATE
ISSUED AT 427 PM CDT THU APR 11 2013

NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS REPORTED IN MARATHON COUNTY THIS AFTERNOON WHILE
SEVERAL TREES WERE REPORTED DOWN IN OCONTO COUNTY. OCCASIONAL DRIZZLE
OR FREEZING DRIZZLE OCCURRING NORTH AND WEST OF THE FOX VALLEY LATE
THIS AFTERNOON. WITH SURFACE TEMPERATURES AT OR BELOW FREEZING...
DECIDED TO EXTEND THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY THAT EXPIRED THIS
AFTERNOON UNTIL 12Z FRIDAY. FIGURING DRIZZLE AND FREEZING DRIZZLE
WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING. ONCE THE SUN GOES DOWN THE
FREEZING DRIZZLE WILL ACCUMULATE ON ROADS...BRIDGES...SIDEWALKS...
TREES AND POWER LINES MAKING FOR HAZARDOUS TRAVEL.

WILL NEED TO WATCH THE FOX VALLEY AND LAKESHORE. OCCASIONAL DRIZZLE
OCCURRING NOW WITH TEMPS A FEW DEGREES ABOVE FREEZING. HEAVIER
BAND OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS SOUTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN MOVING
NORTHWARD. WILL NEED TO SEE IF THIS AREA PRECIPITATION
MOVES/EXPANDS NORTHWESTWARD INTO THE AREA. WITH TEMPERATURES
HOVERING AROUND FREEZING...WOULD NOT TAKE FOR THE HEAVIER
PRECIPITATION TO CHANGE OVER TO FREEZING RAIN.
&&

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND FRIDAY
ISSUED AT 336 PM CDT THU APR 11 2013

THE MAIN CONCERN DURING THIS PART OF THE FORECAST IS
PRECIPITATION. TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE 30S ACROSS THE AREA TODAY
WITH PRECIPITATION TYPES CHANGING AMONG RAIN...FREEZING
RAIN...SLEET AND SNOW...OR A MIX. THOUGH THE MAIN AREA OF
PRECIPITATION APPEARS TO HAVE MOVED OFF TO THE NORTHEAST...MODELS
WERE PRETTY CONSISTENT IN KEEPING WIDESPREAD QPF IN THE AREA
THROUGH FRIDAY. 12Z GRB SOUNDING WAS SATURATED FROM 900MB TO
700MB...AND IS LIKELY PRETTY MUCH SATURATED BELOW 900MB BY NOW
DUE TO EARLIER RAINFALL. WITH A SURFACE LOW IN IOWA AT 20Z
FORECAST TO PUSH EAST-NORTHEAST TO LOWER MICHIGAN BY 00Z
SATURDAY...THE COLD AIR AT THE SURFACE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA IS
LIKELY TO REMAIN. 925MB AND 850MB PROGS ALL SHOWED DECREASING
TEMPERATURES SO LOOKS LIKE PRECIPITATION TYPE SHOULD CHANGE TO ALL
SNOW DURING THE NIGHT. MODEL QPF WAS HIGHEST NEAR THE UPPER
MICHIGAN BORDER WHERE TOTALS LOOK LIKE THEY WILL REACH ADVISORY
CRITERIA. WPC WINTER GUIDANCE ALSO FOCUSES ON THAT AREA FOR
HEAVIEST SNOW. AS A RESULT...HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH AN WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY FOR SNOW ACROSS NORTHERN WISCONSIN THROUGH 12Z
FRIDAY.

PRECIPITATION TYPE ACROSS CENTRAL AND EAST-CENTRAL WISCONSIN SEEMS
MORE UNCERTAIN SO HAVE A MENTION OF RAIN OR FREEZING RAIN FOR THE
EVENING WITH PRECIPITATION CHANGING TO ALL SNOW OVERNIGHT. SNOW
TOTALS SHOULD BE AN INCH AT MOST LOCATIONS. HAVE OPTED TO HANDLE
THIS WITH A SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT. THE EVENING SHIFT CAN
UPGRADE IF NECESSARY.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY
ISSUED AT 336 PM CDT THU APR 11 2013

LITTLE CHANGE IN THE GOING FORECAST THROUGH NEXT WEEK...WITH A
PERSISTENT COLD BROAD TROUGH OVER THE MID SECTION OF COUNTRY.

FROM FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...SNOW SHOWERS WILL GRADUALLY
DIMINISH AS THE COLD CYCLONIC FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE UPPER LOW
DRIFTS EAST OF THE AREA.

WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE QUICKLY DRIFTS OVER LATE SATURDAY INTO
SUNDAY FOR BRIEF QUIET PERIOD OF WEATHER.

NEXT FRONTAL SYSTEM WITH ANOTHER SHORT WAVE TROUGH PROGGED TO QUICKLY
DROP INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS EARLY SUNDAY BEFORE TRACKING OVER
THE STATE SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT. STRONG WAA AHEAD OF THIS
SYSTEM WILL AGAIN PROVIDE A MIX POTENTIAL AS IT RIDES OVER A BELOW
NORMAL COLD AIR MASS FROM SATURDAY NIGHT. H8 TEMPS SHOULD WARM
ENOUGH TO PRODUCE ALL RAIN FOR AT LEAST THE SOUTHERN TWO THIRDS OF
THE FORECAST AREAS SUNDAY AFTERNOON. PCPN SHOULD BE ALL RAIN ALONG
AHEAD OF THE FROPA SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. CONSIDERED
THUNDER BUT BEST INSTABILITY OVER SOUTHERN AND POINTS SOUTHWARD
FOR SUNDAY EVENING. EVEN THOUGH COOLER AIR POURS BACK INTO THE
AREA MONDAY IN THE FRONTS WAKE...ANTICIPATE PCPN TO DIMINISH OR
END WITH THE DRY SLOT PASSING OVER. THE AIR MASS MAY TURN COLD
ENOUGH OVER NORTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN TO RETURN TO ALL SNOW BEFORE
ENDING MONDAY.

COLDER AIR AGAIN SETTLES INTO THE STATE THROUGH TUESDAY WITH THE
FRONT STALLING SOUTH OF THE STATE. FRONT MAY BE CLOSE ENOUGH FOR
LIGHT PCPN TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY SO CONFINED SMALL PCPN CHANCES
FAR SOUTH.

PROGS THEN DIVERT BY MID WEEK DUE TO TIMING OF ANY SURFACE WAVE
TRACKING ALONG THIS BOUNDARY. WHILE A CONTINUED MIX OF PCPN IS
CERTAIN AT LEAST WITH THE COLD AIR MASS LOCKED IN PLACE...THE
POTENTIAL OF SIG ACCUMULATING SNOW IS POSSIBLE...BUT THE EC AND
GFS ARE CONSIDERABLY DIFFERENT...EC MUCH WARMER...GFS PRODUCING A
SIG SNOW BISECTING THE FORECAST AREA.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR 06Z TAF ISSUANCE
ISSUED AT 1015 PM CDT THU APR 11 2013

MIXED PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE NORTH
ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST WISCONSIN. NORTH AND WEST OF
THE FOX VALLEY...IT SHOULD BE MAINLY SNOW AND FREEZING DRIZZLE.
ACROSS THE FOX VALLEY AND LAKESHORE REGION...A MIX OF DRIZZLE...
FREEZING DRIZZLE...LIGHT FREEZING RAIN...SLEET AND SNOW SHOULD
GRADUALLY TRANSITION TO LIGHT SNOW OR FREEZING DRIZZLE. THE ONLY
EXCEPTION WILL BE FROM OSHKOSH EAST TO MANITOWOC WHERE
PRECIPITATION COULD STILL BE IN THE LIQUID FORM IF AIR TEMPERATURES
REMAIN JUST ABOVE FREEZING. PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE ONGOING THROUGH
MUCH OF THE DAY...BUT SHOULD TRANSITION TO SNOW NORTH AND A MIX OF
RAIN/SNOW SOUTH AS AIR TEMPERATURES CLIMB ABOVE FREEZING.

CARS IN THE DITCH AND THE HIGHWAYS WERE GLAZED OVER. THE COMBINATION
OF THE FREEZING PRECIPITATION AND WET SNOW COULD CAUSE TREE BRANCHES
TO BREAK AND CAUSE POWER OUTAGES.
