AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

254 PM CST THU JAN 2 2014

FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR ROUTINE AFTERNOON FORECAST ISSUANCE

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND FRIDAY
ISSUED AT 254 PM CST THU JAN 2 2014

SURFACE HIGH WILL DRIFT ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT
WITH CLEARING SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS. LOWS SHOULD BE WELL BELOW
ZERO EVEN AT THE LAKE MICHIGAN SHORE. WILL NOT ISSUE A WIND CHILL
ADVISORY AS WINDS SHOULD BECOME LIGHT.

SOUTH WINDS WILL INCREASE FRIDAY AS THE HIGH MOVES TO THE EAST
AND WARM ADVECTION BEGINS IN ERNEST. MIDDLE AND HIGH CLOUDS WILL
INCREASE THROUGH THE DAY WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW BY EVENING ACROSS
THE NORTH. THE ARCTIC AIR IS VERY DRY SO IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO
SATURATE. HIGHS WILL BE A FEW DEGREES HIGHER THAN TODAY DESPITE THE COLD
START AND INCREASING CLOUDS.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY
ISSUED AT 254 PM CST THU JAN 2 2014

MAIN CONCERN FOR THIS PACKAGE WILL BE THE LIFE THREATENING COLD
THAT IS EXPECTED SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY. FOR FRIDAY NIGHT...INCREASING
SOUTH WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED WITH WINDS APPROACHING WIND ADVISORY
CRITERIA (45 MPH GUSTS) ALONG THE LAKE. MEANWHILE...MODELS CONTINUE
TO STRUGGLE WITH SNOW CHANCES FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY DUE TO
THE AMOUNT OF DRY AIR IN THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE. DO THINK
WE WILL STILL SEE SOME SNOW...BUT THE QUESTION IS HOW MUCH. THINK
TOTALS WILL BE AROUND AN INCH IN SOME SPOTS. TEMPERATURES SHOULD
GRADUALLY RISE OVERNIGHT AHEAD OF THE ARCTIC FRONT. TEMPERATURES
COULD RISE INTO THE 20S AT MOST PLACES BY SATURDAY MORNING. STILL
SOME QUESTION IN HOW WARM IT WILL GET SATURDAY AS FRONT IS MOVING
ACROSS THE AREA A LITTLE BIT QUICKER THAN YESTERDAY. STILL...ECMWF
AND CANADIAN MODEL SURFACE TEMPERATURES SUGGEST TEMPERATURES COULD
RISE INTO THE LOWER 30S BEFORE THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. TEMPERATURES
WILL START TO FALL FROM WEST TO EAST SATURDAY.

THERE IS STILL CONSIDERABLE DIFFERENCES ON HIGH TEMPERATURES ON
SUNDAY. BASED ON AMOUNT OF COLD AIR UPSTREAM...DECIDED TO LOWER
MAX TEMPERATURES BY SEVERAL DEGREES. HOWEVER...IF MAV GUIDANCE IS
CORRECT...MAY NEED TO SHAVE OFF ANOTHER 5 DEGREES. MAV/MEX
GUIDANCE IS INCREDIBLE COLD MONDAY AND TUESDAY...SOME OF THE NUMBERS
I HAVE NOT SEEN SINCE ARRIVING IN GREEN BAY IN 2001. HOWEVER...SOME
CONCERNS ABOUT THE MEX/MAV GUIDANCE DUE TO SOME EXPECTED CLOUD COVER
AND WINDS. NORMALLY...YOU DO NOT SEE 30 BELOW TEMPERATURES UNLESS THE
WIND GOES CALM. MONDAY IS STILL LOOKING LIKE THE COLDEST DAY...PROBABLY
THE COLDEST DAYTIME TEMPERATURES SINCE FEBRUARY 1996. TUESDAY MORNING
WILL BE JUST AS COLD. WIND CHILL WARNINGS WILL PROBABLY BE NEEDED
SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE
WARNING WILL START EARLIER TO RUN THROUGH THE WHOLE EVENT INSTEAD
OF HAVING A WIND CHILL ADVISORY FOR SUNDAY AND THEN WIND CHILL WARNING
FOR THE REST OF THE EVENT. LATER SHIFTS CAN DETERMINE ON HOW TO HANDLE
THIS SCENARIO.

THERE IS HOPE! TEMPERATURES BY THURSDAY SHOULD WARM TO NEAR 20 AND
INTO THE 20S AND POSSIBLY 30 BY FRIDAY.
&&

.AVIATION...FOR 18Z TAF ISSUANCE
ISSUED AT 1142 AM CST THU JAN 2 2014

GOOD FLYING WEATHER EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT WITH
LIGHT SURFACE WINDS...CLEAR SKIES AND EXCELLENT VISIBILITY.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE VERY COLD WITH LOWS OF -15F OR COLDER OVER
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL WISCONSIN. CLOUDS WILL INCREASE FRIDAY WITH A
CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW IN THE AFTERNOON IN THE NORTH. SOUTH WINDS
WILL INCREASE TO 15 TO 20 MPH IN THE AFTERNOON WHICH MAY CAUSE
BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW.

.MARINE...
ISSUED AT 254 PM CST THU JAN 2 2014

GALE FORCE SOUTHWEST TO SOUTH WINDS ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH SATURDAY AS TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT FORMS BETWEEN ARCTIC
