AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
545 AM CST SAT JAN 4 2014

UPDATED AVIATION PORTION FOR 12Z TAF ISSUANCE

.SHORT TERM...TODAY...TONIGHT...AND SUNDAY
ISSUED AT 405 AM CST SAT JAN 4 2014

STEADY LIGHT TO MODERATE SNOW WAS OCCURRING OVER NC/FAR NE WI
EARLY THIS MORNING...DUE TO THE RRQ OF AN UPPER JET AND A S/W
TROF APPROACHING FROM MN. RADAR TRENDS SUGGEST THAT THE SNOW
WILL TAPER OFF TO PATCHY LIGHT SNOW OR FREEZING DRIZZLE OVER THE
NEXT FEW HOURS. SNOWFALL TOTALS WILL LIKELY REACH 2-3 INCHES
NORTH OF A LINE FROM TKV-IMT. FARTHER SOUTH...ONLY PATCHY LIGHT
SNOW OR FREEZING DRIZZLE IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE MORNING...WITH
LITTLE OR NO ACCUMULATION. STRONG S-SW WINDS WERE LIKELY CAUSING
SOME DRIFTING SNOW OVER NE/EC WI...WHERE FREQUENT GUSTS TO 25 TO
35 MPH WERE STILL BEING OBSERVED. TRAVEL CONCERNS ASSOCIATED WITH
THESE CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO BE HANDLED WITH SPECIAL WEATHER
STATEMENTS EARLY THIS MORNING.

PCPN WILL TAPER OFF IN MOST AREAS BY LATE MORNING OR MIDDAY...
AS THE COLD FRONT SHIFTS THROUGH THE AREA. WILL NEED TO WATCH
FOR LINGERING PCPN OVER OUR SE COUNTIES...AS THE RRQ OF AN UPPER
JET SITS OVER THAT REGION THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING. HAVE
INCREASED CLOUD COVER OVER EC WI TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS FEATURE...
AND KEPT FLURRIES IN THE FCST THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON. TEMPS HAVE
BEEN WARMING INTO THE UPPER 20S AND LOWER 30S JUST AHEAD OF THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY...SO A DECENT WARMUP IS FINALLY EXPECTED TODAY.
MADE SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO TEMP TRENDS.

BIG CONCERN IS WHAT TO DO WITH TEMPS/WIND CHILLS TONIGHT INTO
SUNDAY. MODELS HAVE TRENDED SLIGHTLY LESS AGGRESSIVE WITH THE
ARRIVAL OF THE ARCTIC AIR...ESPECIALLY OVER OUR SE COUNTIES
TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY. HAVE BUMPED TEMPS UP A LITTLE BIT IN NE/EC
WI TONIGHT/SUNDAY TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS TREND. LOOKING AT WIND
CHILLS...ADVISORY CRITERIA IS NOT REACHED UNTIL THIS EVG OVER NC/C
WI...AND OVERNIGHT IN NE/EC WI. HAVE DELAYED THE START OF THE WIND
CHILL ADVISORY UNTIL MIDNIGHT OVER NE/EC WI. PREVIOUS SHIFTS HAD
KEPT THE LAKESHORE COUNTIES OUT OF THE ADVISORY...AND THIS STILL
LOOKS REASONABLE.

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY
ISSUED AT 405 AM CST SAT JAN 4 2014

THE HIGHLY AMPLIFIED MEAN FLOW CONSISTING OF THE WEST COAST UPR
RDG/DEEP LONGWAVE TROF (EMBEDDED POLAR VORTEX) OVER E-CNTRL NOAM
EARLY NEXT WEEK TO QUICKLY CHANGE TO A PSEUDO-ZONAL FLOW BY THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AS THE WEST COAST UPR RDG TURNS INTO AN UPR
TROF BY WEEK'S END. BITTERLY COLD AIR TO BE OVER THE GREAT LAKES
THRU WED BEFORE TEMPS BEGIN TO MODERATE CLOSER TO NORMAL BY FRI.
OTHER THAN A WEAK SYSTEM PASSING BY WED/THU...PCPN CHCS LOOK
RATHER LEAN AS DRY ARCTIC AIR MASS IN PLACE.

AS THE STRENGTHENING SFC LOW RACES NE INTO THE NRN APPALACHIANS
SUNDAY NGT...W-NW WINDS WL INCREASE OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND THIS
WL ALLOW FOR THE BITTERLY COLD ARCTIC AIR TO SWEEP THRU WI. 8H
TEMPS ARE FCST TO CRASH INTO THE -28 TO -33C RANGE BY 12Z MON WITH
SUSTAINED SFC WINDS AT 10 TO 15 MPH CNTRL WI/15 TO 25 MPH ERN WI.
THE POLAR VORTEX TO RESIDE OVER NRN SECTIONS OF THE GREAT LAKES
WITH A STRONG CYCLONIC FLOW OVER WI. EVEN WITH A DECENT AMOUNT OF
CLOUDS EXPECTED...THEY WL HAVE LITTLE IMPACT ON OUR TEMPS WHICH
SHOULD RANGE FROM THE MID-TEENS BELOW ZERO NEAR LAKE MI...TO 30 TO
35 BELOW ZERO OVER CNTRL WI. THE MOST DANGEROUS PART TO BE THE
WIND CHILLS WHICH ARE FCST TO REACH IN EYE-POPPING 40 TO 55 BELOW
ZERO.

THE POLAR VORTEX BEGINS TO LIFT NE INTO SE ONTARIO ON MON...BUT
THE FRIGID CYCLONIC FLOW TO PERSIST ACROSS WI. 8H TEMPS STILL
AROUND -30C...THUS MAX TEMPS TO ONLY REACH THE SINGLE DIGITS BELOW
ZERO NEAR LAKE MI WITH DOUBLE DIGITS BELOW ZERO ELSEWHERE. LOOKING
AT THE RECORD BOOKS...WE COULD BE SETTING NEW 'MIN' MAX TEMPS OVER
MOST OF THE FCST AREA. BLUSTERY W-NW WINDS TO CONT THRU MON AS THE
STRONG SFC LOW MOVES INTO QUEBEC AND AN AREA OF HI PRES PUSHES
INTO THE PLAINS. WIND CHILLS ARE EXPECTED TO RESIDE IN THE -35 TO
-45 DEG RANGE SO HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH CONTINUING THE WIND CHILL
WARNING.

THE CYCLONIC FLOW OVER WI BEGINS TO EASE AS THE POLAR VORTEX MOVES
INTO QUEBEC AND THE SFC RDG AXIS MOVES INTO THE UPR MS VALLEY/
MIDWEST MON NGT. WHILE THE COLDEST OF THE ARCTIC AIR MASS IS
PROGGED TO RETREAT INTO CANADA...THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME LATE NIGHT
BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS WL STILL ALLOW TEMPS TO DROP INTO THE MID-TEENS
BELOW ZERO LAKESIDE TO THE MID-20S BELOW ZERO OVER CNTRL WI. SINCE
THE SFC RDG REMAINS TO OUR WEST...W-NW WINDS AT 10 TO 20 MPH (HIGHER
NEAR LAKE MI) TO PERSIST WITH WIND CHILLS IN THE -40 TO -50 DEG
RANGE. THE WEAK SFC RDG SLIDES INTO THE WRN GREAT LAKES ON TUE AND
SHOULD AT LEAST BRING SOME SUNSHINE TO NE WI. WE WL STILL HAVE TO
DEAL WITH A WEST WIND AT 10 TO 20 MPH...BUT WITH 8H TEMPS RISING
INTO THE MID-TEENS CELSIUS...MAX TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE
SINGLE DIGITS BELOW ZERO. THE WIND CHILL WARNING THRU NOON ON TUE
STILL LOOKS GOOD WITH A DOWNGRADE TO ADVY CONDITIONS TUE AFTERNOON
SINCE READINGS WL BE BETWEEN 20 BELOW AND 35 BELOW ZERO THRU THE
DAYLIGHT HOURS. PREFER TO WAIT ON THE WIND CHILL DOWNGRADE UNTIL
WE KNOW FOR SURE THAT CONDITIONS WL IMPROVE.

WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO FINALLY DIMINISH TUE NGT WITH THE SFC RDG
OVERHEAD...BUT THE DOWNSIDE HERE WOULD BE RADIATIONAL COOLING
UNDER PARTLY CLDY SKIES. TEMPS SHOULD PLUNGE AGAIN INTO THE SINGLE
AND DOUBLE DIGITS BELOW ZERO WITH ENUF WIND TO PROBABLY NEED A
WIND CHILL ADVY THRU THE NGT. CHANGES IN THE MEAN FLOW ALREADY
UNDERWAY BY WED AS THE WEST COAST UPR RDG TO HAVE BROKEN DOWN AND
ALLOWED A FAST MOVING PACIFIC SYSTEM (WEAK SHORTWAVE TROF) TO RACE
INTO THE PLAINS. QUESTIONS REMAIN AS TO THE LOCATION OF A WEST-EAST
FRONTAL BOUNDARY OVER THE MIDDLE OF THE CONUS. THE GFS/GEM KEEP
THIS BOUNDARY FAR ENUF SOUTH TO KEEP HI PRES IN CONTROL OF NE WI
WEATHER. HOWEVER...THE ECMWF IS STILL A BIT FARTHER NORTH ALBEIT A
SLIGHT SHIFT SOUTH FROM ITS PREVIOUS RUN. HAVE DECIDED TO KEEP A
MINIMAL POP FOR SRN SECTIONS OF THE FCST AREA ON WED AND KEEP THE
NORTH DRY. A CONTINUED MODERATION IN TEMPS WL BRING MAX TEMPS
ABOVE ZERO FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE SAT OVER CNTRL WI AS MOST
LOCATIONS REACH THE 5 TO 10 ABOVE ZERO RANGE.

THE FCST FOR THE LATTER PART OF NEXT WEEK BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT
WHEN TRYING TO DETERMINE PCPN TRENDS AS THE MDLS STRUGGLE WITH
SMALLER SCALE FEATURES. UNTIL THERE IS BETTER RESOLUTION...HAVE
FOLLOWED THE MDL CONSENSUS WHICH MENTIONS A SMALL CHC OF LIGHT
SNOW THU AND DRY ON FRI. HAVE MORE CONFIDENCE IN THE CONTINUED
WARMING PATTERN OVER THE REGION AS 8H TEMPS MAY APPROACH 0C BY
FRI. THIS WOULD BRING MAX TEMPS INTO THE 25-30 DEG RANGE WHICH
WOULD FEEL TROPICAL AFTER THE ARCTIC SURGE EARLIER IN THE WEEK.

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

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

STRONG SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL RESULT IN DRIFTING SNOW OVER EASTERN
WISCONSIN THIS MORNING. IN ADDITION...SNOW COVERED ROADS IN NORTHERN
WISCONSIN AND PATCHY FREEZING DRIZZLE OVER THE REST OF THE AREA MAY
CAUSE TRAVEL PROBLEMS. WEEKEND TRAVELERS SHOULD USE CAUTION THIS
MORNING...AND ALLOW EXTRA TIME TO REACH THEIR DESTINATION.

ANOTHER SURGE OF ARCTIC AIR WILL CAUSE TEMPERATURES AND WIND
CHILLS TO PLUMMET TONIGHT. WIND CHILL ADVISORIES HAVE BEEN
POSTED FOR THE ENTIRE AREA...WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE LAKESHORE
COUNTIES.
