Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Green Bay WI
301 AM CST Wed Dec 14 2016

Forecast discussion for routine morning forecast issuance

.SHORT TERM...Today...Tonight...and Thursday
Issued at 301 AM CST Wed Dec 14 2016

Upper height falls continue from today into this evening as short
wave trough axis slides over the northeast half of the state.
Plenty of clouds and flurries associated with this short wave
trough this morning. Flurries and clouds were also associated
with the 850 MB cold front sliding over the state this morning.
Anticipate the front will be departing eastern Wisconsin toward
noon followed with a reinforcing shot of arctic air pouring into
the area on west to northwest winds.

High temperatures will be reached around noon then become steady
or slowly falling in the afternoon.

Will issue WC headlines starting this evening and continue into
late morning Thursday as winds begin to subside later Thursday.

Minor lake effect snow chances across the far north due to winds
are too westerly.

.LONG TERM...Thursday Night Through Tuesday
Issued at 301 AM CST Wed Dec 14 2016

High confidence that it will be bitterly cold Thursday night,
followed by a significant accumulating snowfall Friday into
Saturday followed by another arctic blast Saturday night into
Monday.

Now to the details! Low temperatures Thursday night will be tricky
as winds are expected to diminish and there will be a period of
clear to partly cloudy skies (thin high clouds). Clouds will
continue to thicken through the night, thus temperatures are
expected to steady out or even slowly rise overnight. There
is a small chance of light snow across central Wisconsin
towards daybreak.

On Friday, there will be a chance of light snow during the
morning as 850mb warm advection noted on the models. The light
snow may be sporadic during the morning as the bufkit soundings
indicated some dry air in the low levels during this period. The
snow will get going in earnest Friday afternoon with continued
850mb warm advection. The snow could become heavy at times late
Friday afternoon into Saturday morning as low pressure moves from
the central plains into the lower Great Lakes region. Looking at
the 850mb thermal gradient, the low is expected to move into
lower Michigan Saturday afternoon. At this time, think there
will be a band of heavy snow with 6 inches or more south of a
Wausau to Wausaukee line, and across Vilas County where lake
effect snow showers should linger into Saturday night. This system
has many factors in place to support the high snow totals with
high liquid to snow ratios, decent jet streak action to enhance
lift and there is potential for lake enhancement across northeast
Wisconsin. As the system moves into lower Michigan Saturday, there
is the potential for some gusty northerly winds that may also
create blowing and drifting of the snow. Offices to the west
are contemplating winter storm watches at this time. Since this
will a 5th into a 7th period event, will hold off on a winter
storm watch for now.

As stated earlier, once the system departs another surge of
arctic air is expected Saturday night into Monday. It appears that
wind chill headlines may be needed again late Saturday night into
Monday morning for some or all of the area. The good news is there
should be some decent moderation in temperatures as the new
numerical guidance has highs near freezing on Wednesday.

...Very cold wind chills this week...Heavy snow possible Friday
afternoon into Saturday...

A reinforced arctic air mass will pour into the area today into
thursday morning on blustery west to northwest winds. Wind chill
values of 20 to 35 below zero are expected tonight into Thursday
morning, prompting wind chill advisories for the entire state.
Make sure to dress appropriately if you will be outside, as frost
bite can occur in under 30 minutes.

The blustery west to southwest winds may produce some drifting of
the snow and produce scattered slippery spots today into tonight,
especially across open rural roadways.

After one more cold night of sub zero temperatures Thursday
night, another winter storm system is expected to impact the
region from Friday afternoon into Saturday. This system has the
potential to produce a period of heavy snow across much of the
area. Currently, it looks like over 6 inches of accumulation will
be possible, mainly south of highway 64 and also along the
lakeshore.

Motorists should be alert for slippery spots on area roadways
today into tonight. All should listen to later forecasts
concerning the very cold wind chill values this week as well as
potential of a strong winter storm from Friday into Saturday.
