AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI
111 PM CDT WED MAR 16 2016

UPDATED AVIATION PORTION FOR 18Z TAF ISSUANCE

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1147 AM CDT WED MAR 16 2016

BASED ON CURRENT PRECIPITATION TYPE...HAVE DECIDED TO MOVE START
TIME FOR WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES TO 17Z.
&&

.SHORT TERM...TODAY...TONIGHT...AND THURSDAY
ISSUED AT 410 AM CDT WED MAR 16 2016

PCPN TRENDS/TYPE...SNOWFALL AMOUNTS...WINTER WEATHER HEADLINES...
AND STRONG WINDS AND ASSOCIATED WIND/MARINE HEADLINES...ARE THE
FCST CHALLENGES THIS MORNING.

THE INITIAL BAND OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED TSTMS LIFTED NORTH AND
WEAKENED EARLY THIS MORNING...BUT ADDITIONAL BANDS OF SHOWERS AND
STORMS WERE DEVELOPING IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE NEGATIVELY-TILTED
S/W TROF THAT WAS MOVG INTO SOUTHERN WI. A DEEPENING SFC LOW
WAS SITUATED NEAR MADISON...AND WAS MOVG NNE.

THE SFC AND UPPER LOWS WILL DRIFT NNE TOWARD NE WI AND THE CENTRAL
U.P. TODAY...AND CAUSE SHOWERS TO CONTINUE OVER THE REGION. AS THE
LOW LIFTS NORTH LATER THIS MORNING...A VERY STRONG PRESSURE
GRADIENT WILL SET UP OVER OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES. HAVE OPTED TO ADD
ANOTHER TIER OF COUNTIES TO THE WIND ADVISORY...SO AREAS FROM MFI
TO GRB AND ALGOMA ARE NOW INCLUDED IN THE HEADLINE. THERE IS SOME
CONCERN FOR HIGH WINDS IN OUR FAR SOUTHERN TIER OF COUNTIES...AS
BUFKIT SHOWS 60-70 KTS IN THE MIXED LAYER AT OSHKOSH LATER THIS
AFTERNOON. WILL STICK WITH THE ADVISORY THERE FOR NOW...AS STRONG
CAA AND SUBSIDENCE ARE LACKING...AND SKIES WILL BE CLOUDY WITH
LITTLE INSOLATION TO DESTABILIZE THE BOUNDARY LAYER. THAT BEING
SAID...THE DAY SHIFT WILL NEED TO MONITOR THIS.

RAIN IS EXPECTED TO MIX WITH THEN CHANGE TO SNOW OVER NC WI THIS
AFTERNOON...AND SOME ACCUMS ARE POSSIBLE IN VILAS/ONEIDA/LINCOLN
COUNTIES LATE IN THE DAY. HAVE MOVED UP THE START TIME OF THE
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY TO 21Z/WED IN THESE COUNTIES...BUT LEFT
THE REST ALONE. THE RAIN/SNOW LINE WILL QUICKLY PROGRESS EAST
THIS EVG AND OVERNIGHT...WITH SNOW OR MIXED RAIN/SNOW CONTINUING
OVER MOST OF THE REGION INTO THURSDAY. PCPN CHANCES WILL GRADUALLY
TAPER OFF FROM THE SOUTH TONIGHT AS THE LOW LIFTS NORTH. AFTER
ADDING UP THE NEW SNOWFALL GRIDS...IT APPEARS WE WILL SEE 2 TO 5
INCHES OF SNOW NW OF A LINE FROM WAUSAU TO FLORENCE...WITH 5 TO 7
INCHES IN VILAS COUNTY. HAVE DECIDED TO ADD FLORENCE COUNTY TO
THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY...WHICH MATCHES UP WITH CHANGES THAT
NWS MQT MADE TO THEIR HEADLINES.

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY
ISSUED AT 410 AM CDT WED MAR 16 2016

UPPER TROUGH AT 500MB EXPECTED TO SHIFT SOUTH OF THE AREA LATER
THURSDAY NIGHT. THE 500MB RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD ACROSS THE
WEST COAST OF NORTH AMERICA BY THE WEEKEND, WITH A NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT ACROSS THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. THIS PATTERN WILL BE
TEMPORARY AS THE FLOW SHOULD BECOME ZONAL BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK.

FOR THURSDAY NIGHT, LINGERING SNOW SHOWERS, MAYBE SOME RAIN MIXED
EARLY ACROSS NORTHEAST WISCONSIN, WILL END OR TAPER OFF TO
FLURRIES. PREVIOUS SHIFT ADDED A CHANCE OF FLURRIES FRIDAY
MORNING, AND THAT SEEMED REASONABLE AS A FEW FLURRIES MAY OCCUR
AS WE MIX OUT. SKIES WILL START CLOUDY AND THEN TURN MOSTLY SUNNY
AT MOST LOCATIONS FRIDAY AFTERNOON. LOWERED MINIMUM TEMPERATURES
SEVERAL DEGREES ACROSS THE NORTH WHERE FRESH SNOW COVER WILL
EXIST.

A WEAK DISTURBANCE WILL APPROACH WISCONSIN FROM THE NORTHWEST
SATURDAY NIGHT. LOW LEVEL NORTHWEST FLOW AND 850MB TEMPERATURES
WERE COLD ENOUGH FOR SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS OFF LAKE
SUPERIOR INTO FAR NORTHERN WISCONSIN. THE SYSTEM WILL DROP A WEAK
COLD FRONT INTO NORTHERN WISCONSIN SUNDAY, BRINGING A SMALL CHANCE
OF RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS. NEXT SYSTEM WILL BRING A CHANCE OF RAIN
OR SNOW TO THE REGION ON TUESDAY. PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS APPEAR TO
BE LIGHT AT THIS TIME. TEMPERATURES OVER THE WEEKEND SHOULD RUN AT
OR SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.

.AVIATION...FOR 18Z TAF ISSUANCE
