Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Green Bay WI
1037 PM CST Tue Dec 27 2016

Updated aviation portion for 06Z TAF issuance

.SHORT TERM...Tonight and Wednesday
Issued at 200 PM CST Tue Dec 27 2016

Low clouds and scattered flurries continued as of mid afternoon.
Temperatures ranged from around 10 above across the far north
to the lower 20s across northeast and east-central Wisconsin.

The scattered flurries should come to an end and most of the low
clouds should dissipate late this afternoon or early this evening.
Low temperatures tricky as there will be a short period of clear
to partly cloudy skies and light winds. The combination of a light
southwest or south wind and increasing clouds should keep
temperatures steady or slowly rising after midnight.

Southerly winds will be on the increase by late morning with the
strongest winds across northeast Wisconsin. There is a chance of
light snow later Wednesday afternoon across north-central
Wisconsin. High temperatures should approach 30 across the
north and the middle to upper 30s across northeast Wisconsin.

.LONG TERM...Wednesday Night Through Tuesday
Issued at 200 PM CST Tue Dec 27 2016

Medium range progs remain consistent with a few clipper type
systems sliding over the Great Lakes region for the later half of
the week and into the weekend. A little better chance for snow
early next week and then possibly turning colder.

Timing and track of clipper systems the primary forecast challenge
through Saturday. Surface low track with the first clipper remains
northeast of the area. Progs indicate decent height falls toward
Thursday with cold air advection along with steeper mid level
lapse rates. As a result increased pops for snow showers although
accumulation will be minor.

Medium range models continue to track a second clipper system
just north and east of the forecast area toward Saturday, but a
more southern track compared to previous runs. Snow chances have
been increased across the area as a result, with lake effect snow
showers at the end of the event.

An upper ridge builds into the area for Sunday into early Monday
for quiet weather. Focus then turns to the early next week
system. GFS has significantly backed off with the intensity in
terms of a deeper low pressure system and also trending colder
with respect all snow for precipitation type. However the ECMWF
has trended faster and deeper along with a more eastern track
with this system for more accumulating snow across the region.
Broad upper trough building into the western two thirds of the
country next week, indicate a possible shift to colder
temperatures, or slightly below normal levels for now.

.AVIATION...for 06Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 1036 PM CST Tue Dec 27 2016

The eastward push of the low cloud deck has pretty much stopped,
so it looks like they will linger at least until middle and high
clouds overspread from the west. Still expect winds above the
surface to increase tomorrow during the day, likley resulting in
some LLWS.
