AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
1145 AM CDT THU MAR 31 2016

UPDATED AVIATION PORTION FOR 18Z TAF ISSUANCE

.SHORT TERM...TODAY...TONIGHT...AND FRIDAY
ISSUED AT 323 AM CDT THU MAR 31 2016

SEVERAL FORECAST CHALLENGES TO DEAL WITH AS AN ACTIVE WEATHER
PATTERN SETS UP OVER THE GREAT LAKES. THE FIRST ISSUE IS RAIN
AMOUNTS AS MOST LOCATIONS OVER CENTRAL AND EAST-CENTRAL WI
RECEIVED ONE-HALF TO ONE INCH OF RAIN OVERNIGHT AND MORE IS TO
COME TODAY. A SECOND PROBLEM WILL BE THE POTENTIAL FOR MIXED
PRECIPITATION IN THE FAR NORTH TODAY AND WHETHER ANY SNOW WOULD
STICK. THE THIRD ISSUE ARRIVES ON FRIDAY WITH A WEAK SYSTEM AND
WHETHER ANY SNOW COULD ACCUMULATE.

THE 08Z MSAS SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWED A STRONG AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE OVER EAST-CENTRAL IA RIDING NE ALONG A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
EXTENDED FROM THE LOW PRESSURE THROUGH NORTHERN LOWER MI. RADAR
MOSAIC INDICATED ONE LARGE BAND OF RAIN SHOWERS ABOUT TO EXIT
EASTERN WI...BUT A SECOND SMALLER BAND OF RAIN SHOWERS OVER SW
IW/NE IA IS SET TO MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.

THE SURFACE LOW WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK NE ALONG THE BOUNDARY INTO
NORTHERN LOWER MI THIS MORNING AND EVENTUALLY REACH EXTREME SE
ONTARIO BY LATE IN THE DAY. MID-LEVEL FRONTOGENETICAL FORCING/
DEFORMATION ZONE IS EXPECTED TO RUN FROM WEST-CENTRAL WI THROUGH
FAR NE WI...THUS ANTICIPATE THIS SECOND BAND OF RAIN SHOWERS TO BE
A BIT FARTHER NORTH THAN THE FIRST BAND. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT
SHOWERS/ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL NOT AFFECT THE REST OF THE
FORECAST AREA TODAY AS THE SURFACE LOW EXITS THE REGION AND A
TRAILING SHORTWAVE TROUGH PUSHES THROUGH THE REGION. PRECIPITATION
TYPE WILL BECOME A PROBLEM OVER NORTHERN WI AS THE DAY WEARS ON AS
COOLER AIR IS FCST TO GRADUALLY GET PULLED SOUTHWARD BEHIND THE
DEPARTED SURFACE LOW. THE MAIN ISSUE IS THAT BOUNDARY LAYER
TEMPERATURES AR ABOVE 0C...AS IS SURFACE AND ROAD TEMPERATURES SO
ANY SNOW MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY STICKING. BELIEVE PRECIPITATION MAY
ACTUALLY FLIP BETWEEN RAIN AND SNOW DURING THE MORNING OVER THE
FAR NORTH AND CONTINUE MORE AS A MIX THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.
THUS...HAVE REDUCED ACCUMULATION POTENTIAL TO AROUND AN INCH OR
LESS. MAX TEMPERATURES TO RANGE FROM THE UPPER 30S TO AROUND 40
DEGREES NORTH...LOWER TO MIDDLE 40S SOUTH.

ANY LINGERING LIGHT PRECIPITATION OVER EASTERN WI SHOULD END
QUICKLY EARLY THIS EVENING AS MID-LEVEL FORCING WANES AND WEAK
SUBSIDENCE ENTERS THE AREA. LEFTOVER MOISTURE NEVER GETS STRIPPED
OUT OF THE REGION..SO DO NOT ANTICIPATE MUCH IF ANY CLEARING AS
FAR AS CLOUDS ARE CONCERNED AND LEFT MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES IN THE
FORECAST. LOOK FOR MIN TEMPERATURES TO RANGE FROM THE LOWER TO
MIDDLE 20S FAR NORTH...TO THE LOWER 30S NEAR LAKE MI.

DRY WEATHER MAY NOT LAST LONG AS MODELS SEND ANOTHER SHORTWAVE
TROUGH WITH MID-LEVEL FORCING INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES ON
FRIDAY. THERE WILL BE SOME INCREASE IN LIFT PROVIDED BY THE LEFT
ENTRANCE REGION OF THE UPPER JET...HOWEVER EXTENT OF MOISTURE IS
IN QUESTION...SO QPF AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE LIGHT.
PRECIPITATION TYPE WILL AGAIN BE A HEADACHE AS ANY MORNING
PRECIPITATION THAT DOES FALL MAY BE ALL SNOW BEFORE DAYTIME
WARMING BEGINS TO MIX IN RAIN OR CHANGE TO ALL RAIN OVER MOST OF
THE FORECAST AREA BY AFTERNOON. ANY SNOW ACCUMULATION WOULD BE
VERY MINOR (ONE-HALF INCH OR LESS)...SO MAINLY JUST A NUISANCE.
MAX TEMPS ON FRIDAY TO AGAIN RANGE FROM THE UPPER 30S TO AROUND 40
NORTH...LOWER TO MIDDLE 40S SOUTH.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY
ISSUED AT 323 AM CDT THU MAR 31 2016

UPPER FLOW BECOMES MORE NW FOR FIRST PART OF LONG-TERM PERIOD AS
A COUPLE SHORTWAVE TROFS RIDE SE ACROSS REGION.

FIRST OF THE SHORTWAVE TROFS HAS INTENSE SPEED MAX ASSOCIATED WITH
IT. MODELS INDICATE DEEPENING SURFACE LOW WHICH SHOULD TRACK
ACROSS STATE. PERIOD OF STRONG LIFT AND SOME RESIDUAL MOISTURE
SHOULD RESULT IN BAND OF SNOW ACROSS THE N. MAIN IMPACT OF THE
SYSTEM WILL BE STRONG WINDS THAT DEVELOP IN RESPONSE TO STRONG
SUBSIDENCE AND COLD AIR ADVECTION WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR DEEP
MIXING. FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATE GUSTS OVER 35 MPH
LIKELY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN HALF OF FORECAST AREA
18Z-21Z.

NEXT SYSTEM LATER SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT ALSO BEARS WATCHING AS
STRONG BAROCLINIC ZONE SETS UP ACROSS STATE AND SURFACE LOW TRACKS
ACROSS SOUTHERN WISCONSIN. STRONG ZONE OF LIFT COULD PRODUCE
NARROW SWATH OF ADVISORY SNOW SOMEWHERE ACROSS THE NORTH.

NW FLOW FOR FIRST HALF OF PERIOD MEANS TEMPS BELOW NORMAL. UPPER
RIDGING TRIES TO BUILD NEXT WEEK AHEAD OF PACIFIC ENERGY WITH
MODERATION OF TEMPS BY MID-WEEK, ALBEIT SHORT-LIVED, AS MODELS
INDICATE A RETURN TO NW FLOW LATE NEXT WEEK.

.AVIATION...FOR 18Z TAF ISSUANCE
ISSUED AT 1145 AM CDT THU MAR 31 2016

LOW PRESSURE OVER THE IL/WI BORDER WILL MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS LOWER
MICHIGAN THIS AFTERNOON.  IN THE COMMA HEAD OF THE
SYSTEM...WIDESPREAD PRECIP WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON.  WITH TEMPS IN THE MID 30S...PRECIP WILL BE A MIX OF RAIN
AND SNOW ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL WI.  ANOTHER INCH OF SLUSHY ACCUMS
WILL BE POSSIBLE...PRIMARILY ON GRASSY SURFACES.  IFR CIGS ARE
LIKELY WITH SHOWERS AND DRIZZLE OVER CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST WI.  ONCE
THE PRECIP ENDS LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR EARLY THIS EVENING...MODELS
ARE QUICK TO MOVE IN CLEARING.  THIS MAY BE OPTIMISTIC GIVEN THE
WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVER ACROSS THE REGION.  DO THINK WILL SEE
IMPROVEMENT OF CIGS THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...BUT SLOWED THE
IMPROVEMENT DOWN SOME.  A WEAK CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL CAUSE CIGS TO
LOWER AGAIN FRIDAY MORNING WITH A CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW SPREADING
ACROSS THE TAF SITES FOR A FEW HOURS.  ACCUMULATIONS LOOK TO BE LESS
THAN AN INCH...AND MAINLY ON GRASSY SURFACES.
