AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
310 AM CST WED NOV 11 2015

FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR ROUTINE MORNING FORECAST ISSUANCE

.SHORT TERM...TODAY...TONIGHT...AND THURSDAY
ISSUED AT 310 AM CST WED NOV 11 2015

A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM...NOTED ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY OVER
COLORADO...WILL DEEPEN QUICKLY AS IT EJECTS OUT OF THE ROCKIES
EAST OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS TODAY...THEN QUICKLY HEADS NORTHEAST
TOWARDS THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES TONIGHT. THE LOW WILL THEN
CONTINUE MOVING NORTHEAST TOWARDS EASTERN ONTARIO ON THURSDAY.
THIS LOW WILL PRESENT MULTIPLE FORECAST CHALLENGES AS IT TRACKS
TOWARDS THE REGION...AND ON THE BACKSIDE AS IT EXITS THE REGION
THROUGH THURSDAY.

THERE IS A SUBTLE DARKENING ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY THIS
MORNING...ASSOCIATED WITH AN AREA OF LIGHT SHOWERS CURRENTLY
TRACKING THROUGH THE CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE. THERE HAVE BEEN
SOME OBSERVATIONS SHOWING THIS ACTIVITY HITTING THE
GROUND...THEREFORE WILL INCLUDE A CHANCY POP TO DEAL WITH THIS
EARLY MORNING ACTIVITY. OTHER THAN THIS EARLY MORNING
ACTIVITY...RAIN FROM THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW IS EXPECTED TO HOLD
OFF UNTIL THE AFTERNOON HOURS...WITH POPS INCREASING DRAMATICALLY
FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST AS THIS VERY DYNAMIC SYSTEM TRACKS
THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES. THE BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN WILL BE LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS WHEN THE MAIN LOW ITSELF
LIFTS NORTHEAST OVER THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THIS SYSTEM
WILL ALSO HAVE STEEL MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND MODEST INSTABILITY.
GIVEN THE DYNAMICS OF THIS SYSTEM AND LAPSE RATES WILL PUT
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS IN WITH THIS FORECAST FOR LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING HOURS. ALTHOUGH SEVERE WEATHER IS
NOT ANTICIPATED ON A WIDE SCALE...GIVEN THE EXTREMELY GUSTY WINDS
JUST OFF THE SURFACE ANY STRONG THUNDERSTORMS COULD BRING DAMAGING
WIND GUSTS TO THE SURFACE DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
HOURS...MAINLY SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 29.

AS THE LOW PULLS OUT OF THE REGION ON THURSDAY...VERY GUSTY WEST
TO NORTHWEST WINDS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS NORTHEAST WISCONSIN. WIND
GUSTS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH 30 TO 40 MPH ON THURSDAY...WITH GUSTS
AS HIGH AS 45 MPH POSSIBLE ACROSS THE DOOR PENINSULA THURSDAY
AFTERNOON GIVEN THE FETCH OF WIND ACROSS THE BAY OF GREEN BAY.
ALTHOUGH WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE FOR THIS
COUNTY THURSDAY AFTERNOON...WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY HEADLINES UNTIL
SUBSEQUENT ISSUANCES AS THE EVENT IS BORDERLINE AT THIS POINT.
ALTHOUGH THE LOW ITSELF WILL EXIT THE REGION...WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE WILL KEEP RAIN SHOWERS ONGOING AT VARIOUS TIMES ON
THURSDAY...WITH THE BEST CHANCES ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN
WHERE A LINGERING MID LEVEL TROUGH WILL RESIDE ACROSS THE NORTHERN
GREAT LAKES.

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY
ISSUED AT 310 AM CST WED NOV 11 2015

MEAN FLOW BRIEFLY TURNS ZONAL AT THE END OF THE WEEK AS THE DEEP
CYCLONE HEADS INTO SE CANADA. THE NEXT STRONG UPR TROF IS FCST TO
MOVE ACROSS THE WRN CONUS EARLY NEXT WEEK AND TURN THE MEAN FLOW
TO THE SW OVER THE CNTRL CONUS. AS THIS OCCURS...GULF MOISTURE WL
BE PULLED NWD TOWARD/INTO WI AND BRING AN UNSETTLED PERIOD OF
WEATHER TO THE GREAT LAKES FROM MON THRU WED. AFTER A COOL FRI...
TEMPS ARE EXPECTED TO RETURN TO ABOVE NORMAL LEVELS HEADED INTO
NEXT WEEK.

JUST AS THE DEEP CYCLONE HEADS INTO SW QUEBEC THU NGT...A TRAILING
SHORTAVE TROF (PLUS A STRONG EMBEDDED SHRTWV) AND SECONDARY CDFNT
SWEEP INTO THE WRN GREAT LAKES. THE COMBINATION OF THIS UPR TROF
AND CDFNT...IN ADDITION TO STRONG CAA AND CYCLONIC FLOW...ALL
POINT TO A CONTINUATION OF HI CHC OR LIKELY POPS ACROS NE WI.
HIGHEST POPS REMAIN OVER N-CNTRL WI WHERE SOME LAKE ENHANCEMENT IS
ANTICIPATED. THE NEXT QUESTION IS PCPN TYPE AS THE COLDER AIR
SWEEPS ACROSS WI AND TRANSITIONS THE RAIN TO A MIX...THEN TO
SNOW. FOR E-CNTRL WI...TEMPS MAY NOT COOL ENUF TO ALLOW FOR A
CHANGEOVER TO OCCUR UNTIL LATE THU NGT...THUS LITTLE IF ANY
ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED. HOWEVER...OVER N-CNTRL WI WHERE THE
COLDER AIR REACHES FIRST PLUS THE LAKE ENHANCEMENT...WE COULD SEE
1 TO 3 INCHES OF ACCUMULATION WITH A LOCALIZED 4 INCH AMOUNT OVER
NW VILAS CNTY. TOO EARLY FOR HEADLINES...BUT DO SEE A POTENTIAL
WINTER WEATHER ADVY DUE TO THE SNOW AND GUSTY WINDS. WL CONT TO
MENTION THIS POSSIBILITY IN THE HWO. THE PRES GRADIENT REMAINS
TIGHT OVER WI THRU THE NGT SO LOOK FOR WINDY CONDITIONS TO PERSIST
WITH GUSTS SURPASSING 30 MPH OVER CNTRL/E-CNTRL WI.

CYCLONIC FLOW TO LINGER OVER THE WRN GREAT LAKES THRU FRI MORNING
BEFORE FINALLY WEAKENING FRI AFTERNOON AS A RDG OF HI PRES BUILDS
ACROSS THE UPR MS VALLEY. VILAS CNTY COULD SEE UP TO AN INCH OF
ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATION WHICH WOULD BRING TOTALS MAINLY IN THE 2
TO 4 INCH RANGE. OTHERWISE...THE REST OF THE FCST AREA WL SEE A
CHC OF SNOW SHWRS THRU THE MORNING WITH ONLY A DUSTING AT BEST AND
PERHAPS A FEW FLURRIES IN THE AFTERNOON. FRI WL BE A RAW AND
BLUSTERY DAY WITH MAX TEMPS IN THE MID TO UPR 30S NORTH/UPR 30S TO
LWR 40S SOUTH AND SUSTAINED W-NW WINDS AT 15 TO 25 MPH WITH HIGHER
GUSTS.

THE SFC RDG MOVES ACROSS WI FRI NGT AND SHOULD ALLOW FOR SKIES TO
BECOME AT LEAST PARTLY CLOUDY...AND FOR THE BLUSTERY CONDITIONS TO
FINALLY DIMINISH AS WINDS SUBSIDE TO UNDER 10 MPH. THE AMOUNT OF
CLEARING WL DETERMINE HOW FAR TEMPS FALL FRI NGT AS THE AIR MASS
ALOFT IS STILL ON THE COOL SIDE. MIN TEMPS WL AVERAGE IN THE MID
TO UPR 20S WITH SLIGHTLY WARMER READINGS NEAR LAKE MI. AS THE SFC
RDG SLIDES TOWARD THE ERN GREAT LAKES ON SAT...RETURN FLOW SETS UP
OVER WI AND WITH THE MEAN FLOW NEARLY ZONAL...TEMPS SHOULD BE ABLE
TO REBOUND A FEW DEGS ABOVE NORMAL. UNDER MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES...
LOOK FOR READINGS TO REACH THE MID 40S NORTH...UPR 40S TO AROUND
50 DEGS SOUTH.

BY THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEKEND...MODELS BRING THE NEXT
SIGNIFICANT UPR TROF INTO THE WEST COAST WHICH WL ALLOW FOR UPR
HEIGHTS TO BUILD ACROSS THE CNTRL CONUS. THE PREVAILING SW WINDS
WL CONT TO SEND WARMER AIR INTO WI AS WITNESSED BY 8H TEMPS RISING
INTO THE +5 TO +10C RANGE OVER WI. THIS SHOULD TRANSLATE TO MAX
TEMPS REACHING THE LWR TO MID 50S WHICH WUOLD BE ABOUT 10 DEGS
ABOVE NORMAL.

FCST BECOMES INCREASINLY MORE UNSETTLED ONCE THE WORK WEEK BEGINS
