What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter storm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Green Bay, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm warning went out at Feb 6, 2:09 PM CST, 26 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 6, 2:09 PM CST, 26 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 209 PM CST Wed Feb 6 2019 Forecast discussion for routine afternoon forecast issuance .SHORT TERM...Tonight and Thursday Issued at 209 PM CST Wed Feb 6 2019 Despite the departure of the snow that fell overnight, cloudy skies continued to plague the forecast area this afternoon. There won't be much of a respite from the active weather pattern as more precipitation is on the way later tonight and into Thursday as a low pressure system tracks to the southeast of the area. Precipitation will start later tonight as the region gets under the left exit region of a strong upper level jet with mid level isentropic lift as the warm air advection portion of the system approaches the western Great Lakes region. There will be issues saturating the atmosphere enough to create ice crystals, with quite a bit of freezing rain expected especially in the southern half of the forecast area. There will be a better chance for all snow across the north, however freezing rain will still be on the table according to model soundings. The brunt of the system will approach on Thursday as the low undergoes rapid cyclogenesis and deepens close to the rate of a "bomb". The area will be underneath the TROWAL on Thursday, with moderate to heavy precipitation rates during the late morning and afternoon hours. Precipitation type will be a mixed bag as dry air in the mid levels keeps freezing rain on the table for just about everywhere Thursday morning, with mainly snow across the north and west later Thursday afternoon when the main TROWAL arrives and the moisture becomes deep enough for mainly ice crystals to fall. Further east there will be issues getting all snow even Thursday afternoon as even when we saturate enough to get ice crystals, low level warm layers melt some of the snow to create sleet or melt it all the way for freezing rain. Overall this is a very complex forecast with many precipitation types expected from later tonight through the day on Thursday. Once the event is over snowfall totals are expected to range from 6 to 11 inches across north-central, with 4 to 8 inches across western portions of central, 3 to 5 across the rest of central and northeast, and up to 3 inches across east-central Wisconsin and the lake shore. In addition to the snow, ice accumulations could accumulate to around one quarter of an inch or more across east- central Wisconsin and the lake shore, with one to two tenths across central and northeast Wisconsin. Further north a few hundredths to up to a tenth of an inch is possible. Given this complex weather scenario will opt to issue a Winter Storm Warning instead of parsing out the different precipitation type scenarios with Ice Storm Warnings and Winter Storm Warnings. The thinking is if criteria is not reached on the snowfall front, it will be reached with the ice that is expected. Also if the storm track shifts it will make managing the headlines easier on subsequent shifts. If the forecast looks to be solid ice instead of snow, headlines can be adjusted for an Ice Storm Warning in subsequent forecasts. .LONG TERM...Thursday Night Through Wednesday Issued at 209 PM CST Wed Feb 6 2019 A lingering upper trough over the Great Lakes behind the departed storm will bring a bout of arctic air into WI for Friday through Monday. A new, strong upper trough is forecast to move inland into the western Great Lakes early next week and turn the mean flow to a southwest directions into WI, allowing for temperatures to moderate. There are timing issues with respect to the movement of this upper trough across the central CONUS during the Tue/Wed time frame with potential for heavy snow. Not as much cold air behind this system, thus temperatures to be at or slightly below normal mid-week. The strong surface low will continue to track northeast into southeast Canada with enough lingering lift and mid-level forcing from a cyclonic flow, to keep light snow in the forecast through Thursday evening. Additional snow accumulations to range from less than one-half inch over southern sections of the forecast area, to a couple of inches across far northeast WI. This would bring totals into the 1-3" range east-central WI, 7-11" northern WI. While synoptic snows end later Thursday evening, a wind shift to the west-northwest and strong CAA will lead to lake effect snow showers over north-central WI with up to an inch of accumulation over Vilas County. Min temperatures to drop into the zero to 5 below range central WI, around 5 above zero near Lake MI. Wind chills plummet into the -10 to -20 range with possible advisory conditions reached over central WI. The minor lake effect snow showers are expected to linger into Friday morning before starting to diminish as high pressure starts to build into the region from the Upper Midwest. Anticipate some sunshine to return on Friday (mainly in the afternoon), but with arctic air overhead, temperatures will be well-below normal. Look for readings to only reach around 5 above zero central WI, mainly 5 to 10 above zero eastern WI. This area of high pressure moves into the western Great Lakes Friday night, bringing mostly clear to partly cloudy skies, diminishing winds and very cold conditions. Near ideal radiational cooling conditions (plus the fresh snow) should allow temperatures to free-fall. Min temperatures to range from around 5 below zero near Lake MI, 15 to 20 below zero over the colder spots of north- central WI. As the surface high slides to our east on Saturday, winds will shift to the south and usher in some 'warmer' air aloft (8H temperatures climb into the -14 to -7C range by 00Z Sunday). This could bring a general increase in clouds and keep max temperatures to only the 10 to 15 above zero range over most of northeast WI. Saturday night will remain quiet and not as cold with more cloud cover acting as a blanket. A weak shortwave trough located well to our south on Sunday could bring a small chance for light snow into southern parts of the forecast area. Otherwise, plenty of clouds are expected over the region with max temperatures on Sunday to range from the middle to upper teens north-central WI, upper teens to lower 20s elsewhere. This little system exits Sunday evening, allowing high pressure to move into the Great Lakes for Sunday night through Monday. This should leave skies generally partly cloudy with temperatures running 5 to 10 degrees below normal. This would bring max temperatures on Monday into the upper teens to lower 20s. Confidence remains very low with respect to the next potentially big winter storm to move across the central CONUS/Great Lakes toward the middle of next week. The models are different with the timing of the storm, different with the storm track and potentially different with precipitation type. We will need to watch this system closely in the coming days as heavy snow will fall somewhere over the Upper Midwest/western Great Lakes Tuesday/ Tuesday night. For now, have followed the consensus solution which runs chance pops from Monday night through Tuesday night and possible lake effect snow showers over Vilas County on Wednesday as winds shift to the northwest behind the storm. Below normal temperatures should persist through Wednesday. && .AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1126 AM CST Wed Feb 6 2019 Mainly IFR cigs will prevail this afternoon, with a few locations possibly rising to MVFR under cloudy skies. Later tonight a winter storm will bring some light snow, sleet and freezing rain to the area tonight with conditions remaining at IFR. Heavy snow is possible Thursday west of a Wisconsin Dells to Marinette line with significant sleet and freezing rain to the east. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
