Area forecast discussion, Mar 16, 10:50 PM CDT, 1 minute before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI 1050 PM CDT WED MAR 16 2016 UPDATED AVIATION PORTION FOR 06Z TAF ISSUANCE .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT AND THURSDAY ISSUED AT 345 PM CDT WED MAR 16 2016 SOME OF THE FORECAST CHALLENGES IN THE SHORT TERM INCLUDE WINDS IN CENTRAL AND EAST CENTRAL WISCONSIN AND SNOW AMOUNTS AND TIMING. 12Z MODELS INDICATED 50+ KNOT WINDS AT 925MB AND 850MB TODAY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE FORECAST AREA AND INTO THE MKX FORECAST AREA. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME GUSTS IN EXCESS OF 45 KNOTS AS HIGHER WINDS MIXED TO THE SURFACE WITH WARMING TEMPERATURES AND INCREASED LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY. HAVE OPTED TO KEEP THE ADVISORY GOING AS NO OBSERVATIONS INDICATED GUSTS AS HIGH AS 50 KNOTS NEAR THE AREA SO FAR. WINDS SHOULD START TO DIMINISH WITH LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. THE PRECIPITATION FORECAST IS MORE OF A CHALLENGE AND CONFIDENCE LEVEL IS MUCH LOWER. RAIN CHANGED TO SNOW ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL WISCONSIN EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...BUT BASED ON WEBCAMS IT ONLY APPEARED TO BE STICKING TO UNPAVED GROUND. ENDED UP STARTING THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY AT NOON DUE TO LOW VISIBILITIES AND TEMPERATURES MAINLY IN THE LOWER HALF OF THE 30S. THINK SNOW TOTALS IN THE 3 TO 8 INCH RANGE IN THE ADVISORY AREA SEEM REASONABLE FOR NOW...BUT ALSO THINK THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT THE ADVISORY MAY NEED TO BE CANCELED EARLY. PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL EVENTUALLY CHANGE TO SNOW ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA. THERE SHOULD BE SOME LOCATIONS THAT CHANGE BACK TO RAIN AS TEMPERATURES WARM UP ON THURSDAY...BUT NORTHERN WISCONSIN SHOULD SEE MAINLY RAIN. .LONG TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY ISSUED AT 345 PM CDT WED MAR 16 2016 UPPER TROUGH DROPS SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY RESULTING IN SNOW SHOWERS ENDING THURSDAY EVENING.

NORTHWEST UPPER FLOW EXPECTED SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT WITH MAYBE SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS IN THE FAR NORTH. AN UPPER TROUGH MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND WESTERN GREAT LAKES SHOULD BRING SOME LIGHT SNOW MONDAY NIGHT AND LIGHT RAIN OR SNOW TUESDAY.

ISSUED AT 345 PM CDT WED MAR 16 2016 RAINFALL TOTALS IN THE 1.5 TO 3.5 INCH RANGE IN CENTRAL WISCONSIN RESULTED IN SIGNIFICANT RISES ON RIVERS IN THAT PART OF THE STATE...AS WELL AS DOWNSTREAM. SEVERAL RIVER FLOOD WARNINGS WERE IN EFFECT AS OF LATE THIS AFTERNOON. ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION TOTALS SHOULD BE MUCH LOWER AND ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE IN THE FORM OF SNOW SO THEY SHOULD NOT MAKE THE FLOODING SITUATION MUCH WORSE. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
