Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Green Bay WI
532 PM CST Fri Mar 3 2017

Updated aviation portion for 00Z TAF issuance

.SHORT TERM...Tonight and Saturday
Issued at 245 PM CST Fri Mar 3 2017

Cold temperatures expected tonight as skies start out mostly
clear along with light winds and snow cover. Lows should be 5 to
10 degrees below normal in most places. Warm advection will bring
increasing middle and high clouds late tonight. There is a small
chance of flurries in central Wisconsin.

Mostly cloudy skies are expected Saturday with seasonable temperatures
in the 30s.

.LONG TERM...Saturday Night Through Friday
Issued at 245 PM CST Fri Mar 3 2017

Main concern for this period will be the return of low clouds and
fog Sunday afternoon into Monday morning, chances for showers and
a few thunderstorms Monday afternoon into Monday night, and then
the potential for ice shoves Monday into Tuesday night across
Lake Winnebago and on the bay of Green Bay.

For Saturday night into early Sunday morning, there is a small
chance of freezing drizzle across the far northern Wisconsin.
Otherwise, cloudy skies and increasing southeast winds will
hold temperatures somewhat in check on Sunday compared to
what guidance was giving us a few days ago. Have tempered
high temperatures from previous forecast near the bay and lake.
The question is when the low clouds and fog arrive. Anticipating
this to occur across much of the area Sunday night as dewpoints
in the 40s. The fog may be locally dense at times with
visibilities of a quarter of a mile or less.

The warmest day next week will be on Monday ahead of the cold
front. Temperatures warming into the 50s and dewpoints climbing
well into the 40s will lead to drizzle and fog in the morning.
Some breaks in the fog is expected across portions of central
and east-central Wisconsin Monday afternoon. Increasing south
winds will lead to the increase risk of ice shoves on Lake
Winnebago and on the shoreline of southern Marinette and
Oconto Counties. Also, convective parameters still support the
chance of thunderstorm Monday afternoon across central and north-
central Wisconsin, and Monday evening across the entire area.
The risk of thunderstorms will end from west to east by late
Monday evening. Dense marine fog is also possible at times
Monday into Monday night.

As the cold front moves east of the area. gusty west winds
are expected on Tuesday leading to an increase risk of ice
shoves on the eastern shores of Lake Winnebago and the western
shoreline of Door County. Some rain/snow is possible
across the far north Tuesday morning. Beyond Wednesday,
low confidence in the forecast due. For example, the MEX guidance
has a high of 50 next Friday while the ECMWF has a high of 28 at
Green Bay. Plenty of time to resolve those issues.
&&

.AVIATION...for 00Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 527 PM CST Fri Mar 3 2017

Good flight conditions expected tonight into tomorrow morning as
high pressure shifts off to the southeast. South winds will
eventually bring moisture back to the region, resulting in low
cloud formation. That will probably begin tomorrow afternoon,
though the exact timing of when MVFR conditions arrive is a low-
confidence aspect of the forecast.
