Area forecast discussion, Mar 9, 2:34 PM CST, 1 hour 5 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 234 PM CST Thu Mar 9 2017 Forecast discussion for routine afternoon forecast issuance .SHORT TERM...Tonight and Friday Issued at 234 PM CST Thu Mar 9 2017 The latest rap analysis and satellite/radar imagery show a secondary cold front dropping south into northern Illinois early this afternoon. Still have a fairly wide swath of mid-clouds across the state behind the front, but clearing is slowly working south over far northern WI and the Lake Superior region. Looking upstream, a very cold arctic high is building south into the northern Plains, where temps are barely above zero. As this arctic high continues to build south, temps and wind chills are the main forecast concerns. Tonight...A 1048mb arctic high pressure system will be building southeast across the northern Plains and western Great Lakes through the night. As northwest winds strengthen, they will usher in a very cold airmass to 25 below at 850mb over far northern WI. The airmass will be quite dry too, but should have lake effect snow showers develop over western Lake Superior that should push into the snow belt areas of north-central Wisconsin overnight. The dry air should limit the coverage area, southward extent, and possible accums to under a half inch. Elsewhere, mid clouds will be departing during the evening, resulting in mostly clear and cold conditions overnight. Lows will fall into the lower single digits below zero across the north. Combined with a brisk northwest wind, wind chills will likely fall to around 20 below for a couple hours. Will issue a sps to highlight the very cold wind chills. Friday...The arctic high will continue to dominant the sensible weather across the area. Light lake effect snow showers will likely continue over the far northern WI snow belts through the day. Elsewhere, should be mostly sunny, breezy, and cold. Temperatures should range from 15 to 25 degrees below normal for the date. .LONG TERM...Friday Night Through Thursday Issued at 234 PM CST Thu Mar 9 2017 North-northwesterly flow will keep below normal temperatures in place Friday night and through the weekend. Wind chills at night are expected to dip into the negative teens in the north and negative single digits towards the Fox Valley around Saturday morning. A small chance of snow showers will linger on in the far north through Sunday, but otherwise conditions through the weekend will be quiet. The storm system expected for late Sunday night and Monday continues to be the primary concern for the extended period. Models vary on the exact track of this system, with the Canadian spreading snow across the region earlier than the GFS/ECMWF. Models then agree that snow showers will overspread the region Monday morning, but the variance in the tracks keep totals uncertain. The GFS and ECMWF favor a storm track that could bring in some lake enhancement along the shoreline and parts of east- central Wisconsin during Monday afternoon. Snow chances are expected to stick around through the night and into Tuesday morning before moving out with the upper level trough during the afternoon. A more quiet period then returns in the middle of next week as temperatures return closer to normal by Thursday night. && .AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1048 AM CST Thu Mar 9 2017 A swath of mid-level clouds will depart later this afternoon or this evening. Thereafter, mostly clear skies are expected overnight and Friday with the exception of lake effect clouds and scattered snow showers generally north of Rhinelander. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && SHORT TERM.....MPC LONG TERM......Uhlmann AVIATION.......MPC
