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 22, 11:43 AM CST, 18 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 22, 11:43 AM CST, 18 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 1143 AM CST Tue Feb 22 2022 Updated aviation portion for 18Z TAF issuance and new information added to update section .UPDATE... Issued at 1132 AM CST Tue Feb 22 2022 The evolution of the deformation zone snow band and extrapolation of the southern edge of the cold cloud tops on satellite imagery suggest heavy snow will be more persistent across the NW corner of the forecast area, resulting in higher totals. As a result, will be upgrading Vilas and Oneida to a warning. Updated products will be out ASAP. && .SHORT TERM...Today...Tonight...and Wednesday Issued at 351 AM CST Tue Feb 22 2022 Winter weather headlines and snow and ice accumulations will be the main forecast concerns for the short-term. No changes will be made to the winter weather headlines. Occasional light snow continued across northern WI early this morning, while a light wintry mix of snow and freezing drizzle was observed south of a line from Wisconsin Rapids to Sturgeon Bay. Road reports indicated snow covered roads over much of northern WI, with icy stretches in east central WI and parts of central WI. WAA/isentropic lift will continue the spotty light snow or wintry mix early this morning, but precipitation is expected to increase in coverage and intensity as forcing associated with a coupled upper jet, short-wave trough and frontogenesis forcing ramps up in the late morning and afternoon. The forcing will be strongest over northern WI, where 2 to 4 inches of additional snow will fall, with local higher amounts in Vilas County. Along and south of a line from Wisconsin Rapids to Oconto to northern Door County, a light mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain will increase in the late morning and early afternoon. The wintry mix will change to snow from west to east during the mid to late afternoon as CAA wipes out the weak warm layer aloft. Additional snow accumulation over central and east central WI should range from a half inch to 2 inches. Additional ice accumulations will be light in most areas, though Manitowoc and southeast Kewaunee counties could see around a tenth of an inch. Blustery northeast to north winds will gust to 25 to 35 mph, strongest in the Fox Valley and lakeshore areas. High temperatures will be in the teens northwest to the lower 20s southeast. Forcing will lift out of the area from south to north during the late afternoon and evening. An additional dusting to an inch of snow can be expected in the evening over northern WI, with the greatest amounts in Vilas County. Lake-effect snow showers will persist in Vilas County overnight, with only another dusting to half inch anticipated. Clearing is expected across parts of central and east central WI late in the night. Lows will range from around zero northwest to around 10 above along the lakeshore. On Wednesday, any lingering lake-effect snow showers should taper off in Vilas County as high pressure builds into the region. Despite partly sunny skies, temperatures will only warm into the teens and lower 20s. .LONG TERM...Wednesday Night Through Monday Issued at 351 AM CST Tue Feb 22 2022 An amplified mean flow to persist through the upcoming weekend before losing some depth early next week. The persistent western CONUS upper trough is forecast to weaken a bit and become more positive-tilted as it lifts northeast across the central CONUS this weekend. As this occurs, an upper ridge will move from the eastern Pacific into the western CONUS and a northern stream upper trough will merge with the initial upper trough to produce one, deep upper trough over east-central NOAM. The prevailing northwest flow into WI will keep temperatures below normal with little way of precipitation this weekend into early next week. Wednesday night and Thursday... High pressure is forecast to expand over northern sections of the Great Lakes Wednesday night. As winds veer to the northeast just above the surface, there is a concern for a lake effect snow band to move toward the lakeshore counties after midnight. Delta-T values to reside around 20 with a favorable trajectory, thus have added a small chance pop. The rest of the area should stay dry with mostly cloudy skies. Will need to watch the far north as far as temperatures go with a fresh snowpack and light winds. Any break in the clouds would allow readings to tank. For now, have min temperatures ranging from 5 below to 10 below zero far north, around 10 above zero east-central WI. A prominent mid-level shortwave trough is forecast to eject into the southern/central Plains on Thursday. Increasing mid-level Q-G forcing and hints of a coupled jet structure over WI for lift. Despite a lack of significant surface features, expect to see a chance of light snow reach central/east-central WI by Thursday afternoon. Max temperatures to range from the middle to upper teens north, upper teens to lower 20s south. Thursday night and Friday... Snow chances to carry over for most of northeast WI into Thursday night as the shortwave trough sweeps into the Great Lakes and a surface low lifts northeast through the OH Valley. Highest pops placed over east-central WI where 1 to 2 inches of light snow is possible. The prevailing northeast wind will add a lake enhancement to the synoptic snow, thus areas near Lake MI could see accumulation totals in the 2 to 4 inch range (this includes the Wednesday night/Thursday lake effect). Min temperatures for Thursday night to range from 5 below to 10 below zero north- central WI, 5 to 10 above zero east-central WI. High pressure is expected to build into the western Great Lakes on Friday and bring some sunshine back to northeast WI. Despite the return of the sun, temperatures will remain well-below normal with readings from 15 to 20 degrees central WI, mainly lower 20s eastern WI. Friday night and Saturday... Quiet, but cold conditions to exist Friday night as the high pressure slides southeast into the mid-MS Valley/OH Valley. A mostly sunny start to the Saturday may give way to increasing clouds, especially over northern WI as a cold front drops south into northern sections of the Great Lakes. Max temperatures for Saturday to be in the middle to upper 20s north, upper 20s to lower 30s south. Saturday night and Sunday... This cold front sags south through WI Saturday night with a trailing broad upper trough digging south into the Great Lakes. There is a chance for light snow showers to accompany the frontal passage, but little in the way of accumulation is anticipated. Canadian high pressure is forecast to build southeast into the Upper Midwest on Sunday and while partly sunny skies should prevail, will need to watch for lake effect potential over north- central WI if trajectories become favorable. Max temperatures for Sunday to be in the middle to upper teens north-central WI, lower to middle 20s elsewhere. Sunday night and Monday... The high pressure settles over the western Great Lakes Sunday night through Monday, thus bringing tranquil conditions to the region. Temperatures to remain below normal with readings on Monday in the upper teens to around 20 degrees north-central, lower to middle 20s for the rest of the forecast area. && .AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1132 AM CST Tue Feb 22 2022 A major round of wintry weather will result in poor flying conditions into tonight. Mainly snow is expected at the central /north-central TAF site, with sleet or a snow/sleet mix changing to snow in east-central WI. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Green Bay WI 1031 AM CST Tue Feb 22 2022 WIZ005-010>013-018>021-030-073-221830- Vilas-Oneida-Forest-Florence-Northern Marinette County-Lincoln- Langlade-Menominee-Northern Oconto County-Marathon- Southern Marinette County- 1031 AM CST Tue Feb 22 2022 ...SNOW WILL INCREASE MID-DAY, COULD BE HEAVY A TIMES THIS AFTERNOON... At 1025 am, radar and surface weather observations indicated occasional light snow and flurries across north-central, far northeast, and portions of central Wisconsin. An expanding area of moderate to occasionally heavy mixed precipitation was over the southwest part of the state. That precipitation is expected to continue to expand and spread northeast, and will overspread central and northern Wisconsin during the mid-day hours. It should transition to all snow by the time it arrives in the area. So snow should be widespread across the area during the mid to late afternoon, and it could be heavy at times. Northeast winds gusting to about 25 mph may produce some blowing and drifting of the snow. Roads were reported to already be snow covered and slippery, and travel conditions will likely worsen considerably once the snow picks up during the afternoon. Anyone traveling across the area today should be prepared for hazardous travel conditions, and allow extra time to reach their destination.
