Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Green Bay WI
331 AM CDT WED OCT 12 2016

Forecast discussion for routine morning forecast issuance

.SHORT TERM...Today...Tonight...and Thursday
Issued at 331 AM CDT Wed Oct 12 2016

Forecast concerns include precipitation trends today, and frost
and freeze headlines late tonight into Thursday morning.

A cold front was moving through parts of north central and central
WI early this morning. A couple weak bands of post-frontal showers
were ongoing over eastern MN and northwest WI. Models insist that
showers will increase rapidly during the early to mid morning as
several short-wave trofs and the RRQ of an upper jet combine with
the frontal forcing. Will continue likely to categorical pops for
today, with a decreasing trend from west to east occurring during
the afternoon. With PWATs around 1.00-1.25 inches in the vicinity
of the front, expect to see some fairly healthy precipitation
amounts, with rainfall in excess of a half possible in far
northeast WI. Was originally planning to mention thunder across
the region this morning due to elevated instability, but given the
lack of lightning early this morning, have opted to leave it out
for now.

High temperatures will occur this morning, with falling
temperatures anticipated across the entire region during the
late morning and afternoon.

Clearing skies will occur as the frontal system departs this
evening and Canadian high pressure moves into WI. A much cooler
air mass will push into the region, with H8 temperatures falling
to -2 to -5 C overnight. Winds may stay up for a while this
evening, but should drop off overnight, allowing frost to readily
form. Will issue a freeze warning in Marathon, Wood and Portage
counties, where temperatures will drop into the upper 20s.
Farther east, will issue a frost advisory. Frost/freeze headlines
have already been suspended over the rest of north central and far
northeast WI.

Sunny and cool conditions will prevail on Thursday, with highs
in the upper 40s and lower 50s.

.LONG TERM...Thursday Night Through Tuesday
Issued at 331 AM CDT Wed Oct 12 2016

Models continue to indicate a deep upper low to persist near the
Aleutian Islands and send several impressive systems at the
Pacific Northwest into early next week. Each system is expected to
weaken a bit crossing the Rockies, but each will impact northeast
Wisconsin as the mean flow to be fast/low amplitude. The first
system looks to reach northeast Wisconsin late Saturday into
Saturday night, the second system arrives late Sunday night into
Monday and system #3 would reach us Monday night into Tuesday. Due
to the fast westerly flow aloft, temperatures will be above normal
from this weekend into next week.

Northeast Wisconsin to be firmly entrenched in a return flow on
the backside of the retreating surface high with a prevailing
south wind Thursday night. Mostly clear skies will allow for any
daytime warmth from Thursday to quickly radiate away and allow
temperatures to easily fall into the upper 20s to lower 30s north,
lower to middle 30s central/east-central and upper 30s to around
40 degrees near Lake MI. Look for another frost headline Thursday
night across central and east-central WI. Persistent WAA and
mostly sunny skies will bring temperatures closer to normal for
Friday. Look for readings to range from the middle 50s north-
central, to the upper 50s to lower 60s east-central Wisconsin.

The first of the Pacific systems is forecast to move across the
Rockies Friday night and will be preceded by a cold front that
will reach the Plains by 12z Saturday. A 40-50 knot south-
southwest low-level jet will begin to tap deeper gulf moisture
with showers developing across the Upper MS Valley/Midwest during
the overnight hours. While the precipitation to remain well to our
west, clouds should be on the increase with most locations either
partly or mostly cloudy by daybreak. Temperatures will not be
nearly as cool as previous nights with mins only in the middle 40s
north, upper 40s to around 50 degrees south.

This initial shortwave trough is expected to quickly push across
the Northern Plains Saturday morning and reach the Upper MS Valley
Saturday afternoon. Meanwhile, the cold front continues to
steadily move east and essentially reside on the MN/WI border by
00z Sunday. Gulf moisture will continue to stream into Wisconsin
on Saturday as PW values climb to around 1.5 inches which is quite
high by October standards. Expect to see shower activity gradually
increase from west to east, especially by Saturday afternoon over
central Wisconsin. Instability still looks meager during the day,
thus have kept thunder out. Max temperatures will jump above
normal with lower 60s north, middle 60s south.

The best likelihood of seeing more widespread showers would be
Saturday evening as the cold front pushes across northeast
Wisconsin and the trailing shortwave trough reaches the Great
Lakes. While instability remains rather weak (capes up to 150
J/KG, LI's around -1), cannot rule out a few rumbles of thunder,
thus have added a slight chance of thunder to the forecast. The
precipitation should come to and end by late evening over central
Wisconsin with some partial clearing overnight. Eastern Wisconsin
will see the showers taper off later Saturday night, but remain
mostly cloudy through daybreak. A weak area of high pressure is
forecast to move across the region on Sunday and provide for a
mostly sunny/partly cloudy day across northeast Wisconsin.
Temperatures will remain mild on Sunday with readings in the lower
to middle 60s north, middle to upper 60s south.

The dry weather is not expected to last long as the models show
the next shortwave trough/cold front combination set to overspread
the Western Great Lakes Sunday night. Models again do not show
much in the way of instability, so have again only gone with a
slight chance of thunder in the forecast. Precipitation chances to
persist through at least Monday morning until the cold front exits
the area, then more of a drying trend is noted for Monday
afternoon. Despite the passage of the cold front, max temperatures
on Monday will not change much with another day in the lower to
middle 60s north, middle to upper 60s south.

Forecast becomes more uncertain by next Monday night into Tuesday
as there are serious questions as to the strength of the next
shortwave trough. The ECMWF is much weaker with this mid-level
trough and focuses any precipitation chances to our south as a
surface waves moves along the old cold front. The GFS is much
stronger with the mid-level trough and spins up a strong surface
low that tracks toward Wisconsin on Tuesday. Due to the vast range
of solutions, have followed the consensus guidance which keeps a
precipitation chance in the forecast for both Monday night and
Tuesday.

.AVIATION...for 06Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 1057 PM CDT Tue Oct 11 2016

Clouds will continue to thicken and lower tonight as a cold front
approaches from the west. Low level wind shear will continue
tonight as VWP shows a low level jet from 210 degrees at 35 knots
is expected at 1000 ft agl with light south winds at the surface.
Conditions are expected to lower to MVFR, with IFR at times from
around 09z through 18z Wednesday with rain showers. MVFR or VFR
conditions likely Wednesday afternoon as showers end from west to
east behind a cold front.
