AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
1048 AM CST FRI DEC 25 2015

UPDATED AVIATION PORTION FOR 18Z TAF ISSUANCE

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 340 AM CST FRI DEC 25 2015

QUIET WEATHER FOR CHRISTMAS DAY...THEN SNOW NORTH AND SOME LIGHT
MIXED PRECIPITATION CENTRAL AND EAST-CENTRAL TOMORROW AND TOMORROW
NIGHT.

AMPLIFIED UPPER REGIME IS IN PLACE ACRS NOAM...WITH A SHARP RIDGE
JUST OFF THE WEST COAST...BROAD AND DEEP TROFFING OVER THE WESTERN
AND CENTRAL CONUS...AND A STG RIDGE FM THE SERN STATES NEWD INTO
THE ATLANTIC. THE FLOW WL SEPARATE IN INCREASINGLY DISTINCT
NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN STREAMS DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THE
DEVELOPING NRN STREAM WL LOSE AMPLITUDE...WHILE THE SRN STREAM
REMAINS AMPLIFIED AND VERY ENERGETIC.

THE LOCATION OF THE FCST AREA DOWNSTREAM FROM THE MAIN UPPER
TROF WILL RESULT IN A CONTINUATION OF THE ACTIVE WX. THERE WILL BE
SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR PCPN...SO ABOVE NORMAL AMOUNTS ARE
LIKELY. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE NORMAL BEFORE POSSIBLY
DROPPING OFF SOME AT THE END OF THE PERIOD.
&&

.SHORT TERM...TODAY...TONIGHT...AND SATURDAY
ISSUED AT 340 AM CST FRI DEC 25 2015

QUIET WX IS EXPECTED FOR CHRISTMAS DAY. THE MAIN ISSUE IS CLDS.
GUIDANCE INDICATES CLDS WL DECREASE. STLT SUGGESTS A TREND IN THAT
DIRECTION...BUT IT HAS BEEN SLOW AND THERE ARE STILL A LOT OF CLDS
ACRS THE RGN. CONT/D WITH DECREASING CLDS...BUT GENERALLY KEPT
VALUES IN SKYCON GRIDS HIGHER THAN GUIDANCE.

THE MAIN FCST ISSUE WL BE THE PCPN EVENT LATE TNGT INTO THE START
OF THE LONG-TERM PART OF THE FCST. THE DEEPENING OF ANOTHER SHRTWV
INTO THE 4 CORNERS REGION WL RESULT IN BACKING OF THE UPR FLOW
DOWNSTREAM OVER THE MIDWEST. AT UPPER LEVELS...THIS HELPS TIGHTEN
THE GRADIENT OVER THE LAKE SUPERIOR REGION...LEADING TO A
STRENGTHENING JET MAX TO OUR NE.

IN TERMS OF THE DETAILS...THE ACTUAL FORCING LOOKS A LITTLE
DISJOINTED. THE RRQ OF THE UPR JET...LOW-LEVEL ISENT LIFT IN THE
BAROCLINIC ZONE...AND MID-LVL SUPPORT FM EJECTING SHRTWV ARE NOT
TOTALLY COINCIDENT IN TIME OR SPACE. IN ADDITION...IT APPEARS PCPN
WL HAVE TO FIGHT THROUGH SOME DRY AIR CIRCULATING BACK THROUGH ERN
WI AT LOW-LEVELS. OVERALL...THE TREND ON THE 00Z GUIDANCE WAS TO
SLOW DOWN THE ARRIVAL OF THE PCPN...SO ADJUSTED THE FCST TOWARD
THIS IDEA.

PCPN TYPE IS ALSO AN ISSUE OVER ALL BUT THE N. FCST SOUNDINGS OFF
SEVERAL OF THE MODELS SUGGEST SATURATION MAY NOT EXTEND DEEP
ENOUGH TO ENCOUNTER AIR SUFFICIENTLY COLD TO RESULT IN ICE CRYSTAL
FORMATION. SO EVEN RADAT-ZERO PROFILES COULD HAVE LIQUID WATER
FALLING AS R-/ZR- DEPENDING ON SFC TEMPS. STUCK WITH ALL SNOW FOR
ABOUT THE NRN 1/2 OF THE FCST AREA...AND A MIX CHANGING TO MAINLY
RAIN TO THE S. SNOWFALL FCST ACRS THE N IS SOLIDLY ADVISORY
CRITERIA. BUT WITH SNOW NOT STARTING IN EARNEST UNTIL THE THIRD
PERIOD AND STILL SOME QUESTION ON PLACEMENT OF HIGHEST AMNTS...WL
FOREGO POSTING IT RIGHT NOW.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY
ISSUED AT 340 AM CST FRI DEC 25 2015

SPLIT FLOW NOTED AT 500MB WILL KEEP THE ARCTIC AIR MAINLY NORTH OF
THE BORDER DURING THE PERIOD. FIRST SYSTEM TO EXIT THE REGION
SATURDAY NIGHT AS IMPRESSIVE 300MB JET STREAK INCREASES TO 160
TO 180 KNOTS NORTH OF THE STATE. LIGHT SNOW OR FREEZING DRIZZLE
IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE NORTH...AND A MIX OF LIGHT RAIN...LIGHT
SNOW OR LIGHT FREEZING DRIZZLE IS EXPECTED OVER THE REMAINDER OF
THE REGION EXCEPT FOR THE FOX VALLEY AND LAKESHORE REGION WHERE
PRECIPITATION SHOULD BE ALL LIQUID SATURDAY EVENING.

LATER SATURDAY NIGHT...850MB TEMPERATURES DROP TO -14C AND TURN TO
THE NORTHWEST FOR A LAKE EFFECT SNOW EVENT OVER FAR NORTHERN
WISCONSIN. HAVE NOT SEEN TOO MANY OF THESE EVENTS THIS WINTER DUE
TO THE UNUSUALLY MILD CONDITIONS. HAVE AN ADDITIONAL INCH OR TWO
BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE SNOW BELT REGION OF VILAS COUNTY.
DRIER AIR WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION LATER SUNDAY TO BRING A
DIMINISHING TREND OR END TO THE SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY.

ONE WAY TO MANUFACTURE COLD AIR IS TO HAVE A FRESH SNOW PACK.
EXPECTING A DECENT SNOW PACK (AT LEAST FOR THE WINTER 2015-16
STANDARDS) ACROSS THE NORTH SUNDAY NIGHT...COMBINED WITH LIGHT
WINDS AND CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES TO ALLOW TEMPERATURES TO
FALL INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS ACROSS THE NORTH. A QUICK LOOK AT THE
RHINELANDER WEATHER BOOK INDICATED THE LAST DECEMBER WITHOUT A
SUBZERO TEMPERATURE OCCURRED IN 1959...AND ONLY HAS HAPPENED THREE
TIMES SINCE RECORDS BEGAN IN 1908.

TURNING TO EARLY NEXT WEEK...MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW SOUTHERN
STREAM SYSTEM EJECTING NORTHEAST TOWARDS THE GREAT LAKES. THE
BIG QUESTION IS WHERE IN THE GREAT LAKES. ECMWF IS STRONGER AND
FURTHER NORTHWEST THAT WOULD BRING AN END TO THE SNOWLESS WINTER
ACROSS NORTHEAST WISCONSIN. THIS MODEL CONTINUES TO SHOW GOOD
CONTINUITY FROM RUN TO RUN. HOWEVER...THE OPERATIONAL GFS MODEL
AND THE CANADIAN MODEL ARE WEAKER AND FURTHER TO THE SOUTHEAST AND
KEEP THE AREA DRY. DID GLANCE AT THE 24 QPF GFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS
AND THERE WERE SEVERAL ENSEMBLE MEMBERS INDICATED A FURTHER NORTH
SOLUTION THAN THE OPERATION GFS MODEL. THE QUESTION IS HOW FAR AS
SOME OF THE ENSEMBLE MEMBERS BROUGHT THE AXIS OF HEAVIEST QPF
RIGHT ACROSS NORTHEAST WISCONSIN. FOR THE RECORD... THE ECMWF IS
CRANKING OUT NEARLY AN INCH OF QPF...MAINLY IN THE FORM OF SNOW.
IF THIS SOLUTION DOES VERIFY...THE SNOW SEASON ACROSS NORTHEAST
WISCONSIN WILL HAVE AN ABRUPT START TO THE SEASON. STAY TUNED!

THE LATEST 00Z ECMWF HAS ANOTHER SYSTEM ON ITS HEELS FOR NEXT
WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. TEMPERATURES BY LATER NEXT WEEK
WILL RETURN CLOSER TO NORMAL WHICH WILL BE A SHOCK TO SOME AS
TEMPERATURES ARE AVERAGING 12 TO 14 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL THROUGH
THE FIRST 24 DAYS OF THIS MONTH.

ISSUED AT 1047 AM CST FRI DEC 25 2015

LOWER END MVFR CIGS WITH PATCHY AREAS OF IFR CIGS KEEPING A FIRM
GRIP OVER THE AREA UNDER AN INVERSION LATE THIS MORNING.
CONFIDENCE CONTINUES TO DECREASE OF ANY SIGNIFICANT BREAK IN THE
CLOUDS UNDER THE SURFACE RIDGE. WHILE A FEW BREAKS MAY OCCUR OVER
THE NORTH THIS AFTERNOON IN THE HIGHER ELEVATION AND SOME BETTER
MIXING...WILL HEAD TOWARD THE DIRECTION OF MORE CLOUDS THROUGH
TONIGHT. WILL ALSO INTRODUCE SOME MVFR VSBYS LATER TONIGHT INTO
SATURDAY AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASES IN THE RETURN FLOW.
WILL ALSO ADD A LIGHT MIX OF ZL/FLURRIES TO THE WEST AS THE AIR
MASS SLOWLY SATURATES.
