Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Green Bay WI
535 PM CST Sun Mar 5 2017

Updated aviation portion for 00Z TAF issuance

.SHORT TERM...Tonight and Monday
Issued at 243 PM CST Sun Mar 5 2017

There are several areas of concern in the short term.

Skies were cloudy across the forecast area today and some
showers developed during the afternoon and moved northeast. They
appear to be due to some mid level short wave energy combined
with isentropic lift from warm advection in strong southwest flow
aloft, ahead of an approaching warm front. 12Z models had a
variety of solutions for exactly where/when any measurable
precipitation would fall today into the evening, but they were in
better agreement later tonight into Monday when they showed the
entire area getting wet. Higher dew points passing over the colder
snow-covered ground should result in some fog and/or low stratus
tonight. Thinking is that the winds will be strong enough for more
stratus and light drizzle development rather than fog, but these
situations are usually difficult to nail down.

The warm front is expected continue through the forecast area
during the day on Monday, so temperatures should be warmer than
they were today, but there will still be plenty of clouds. Model
time/height plots indicated some elevated instability across the
area on Monday, so thunder is a possibility, especially in central
Wisconsin during the afternoon. Thunder chances increase during
the start of the long term forecast. Have only mentioned it in the
western part of the forecast area for now.

Low temperatures should occur early in the night at many
locations as the warm front moves into the area.

.LONG TERM...Monday Night Through Sunday
Issued at 243 PM CST Sun Mar 5 2017

Active period of weather for most of the week and perhaps into
next weekend.

Deep cyclone tracking over the Northern Plains Monday night will
drag a cold front with following dry slot over the Western Great
Lakes Region. ECMWF continues to be the slower solution but
overall the front is expected to depart Eastern Wisconsin after
midnight Monday night. While instability is marginal, very strong
winds in the wind profile. A few of the stronger showers and
storms will contain gusty winds with marginal risk of isolated
severe storms. The best forcing will be along and ahead of the
cold front and dry slot.

Colder air pours into the region on blustery southwest winds
later Monday night into Tuesday. The next issue with this system
is the potential of strong winds to warrant a wind advisory for
Tuesday. Colder air advection and mixing in the wake of the front,
will provide the chance of mixing strong wind gusts to the
surface Tuesday. Will add a mention of power outages to the HWO
at this time. The mixing and subsidence will produce near steady
temperatures after a mild morning start Tuesday. The relatively warm
boundary will produce steep lapse rates later Tuesday for a
chance of showers. The boundary layer may turn cold enough late
in the day to produce a mix.

A secondary cold front with wrap around moisture with the large
deep cyclone over south central Canada expected to slide over
Great Lakes Region Tuesday night. H8 temps falling to -14 to -18
C will produce all snow showers Tuesday night before departing
northeast Wisconsin Wednesday morning, followed with lake effect
snow showers far North Central Wisconsin.

Steep boundary layer lapse rates continue Wednesday with the cold
air aloft and March sun. What clearing occurs in the approaching
ridge early Wednesday will likely become BKN with flurries at
least depending on available moisture.

Medium range progs have been very inconsistent with timing of pcpn
chances after wednesday night due to return flow development. By
next Sunday, the ECMWF builds a ridge over the western state with
a northwest flow over the Great Lakes region, while the GFS
develop a broad trough over the western states with a southwest
flow over the Great Lakes region.
&&

.AVIATION...for 00Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 532 PM CST Sun Mar 5 2017

Low clouds continue to be the main aviation forecast issue. Warmer
air with dewpoints above freezing will finally be arriving in the
area, so ceilings should lower substantially during the night--
into either the IFR or LIFR category. Do not anticipate much
improvement tomorrow as the moisture continues to move over the
lingering snowcover. Pulses of stronger winds a couple thousand
feet above the surface will result in LLWS, with pretty strong
LLWS by tomorrow afternoon.
