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 Mar 31, 6:14 AM CDT, 5 hours 44 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 31, 6:14 AM CDT, 5 hours 44 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 614 AM CDT Fri Mar 31 2023 Updated aviation portion for 12Z TAF issuance .SHORT TERM...Today...Tonight...and Saturday Issued at 352 AM CDT Fri Mar 31 2023 Freezing rain and snow will continue across far Northern Wisconsin until surface temperatures warm above freezing by mid morning. Will keep the current Winter Storm Warning going until then. A new Winter Storm Warning and Winter Weather Advisories will be issued later today to replace the current Winter Storm Watch. Otherwise, warm and moist air overrunning a surface warm front moving slowly north will produce periods of rain and a chance of thunderstorms today. If the warm front makes it into the Southern Fox Valley this afternoon or evening there could be a few thunderstorms with hail as temperatures aloft are still cold at this time of the year. The rain and melting snow could produce minor street flooding in Central and East central Wisconsin during periods of heavy rain. The rain will change to snow from northwest to southeast tonight as the upper low approaches and temperatures aloft cool. Strong low level warm advection and convergence, combined with a coupled jet aloft should produce a band of heavy snow across the northwest two thirds of the forecast area. the reminder of the area will get lighter snow. While the snow will initially be wet, gusty north winds later tonight and Saturday could produce blowing and drifting snow across the Northwoods. Some tree branches and power lines could come down due to the weight of ice and snow and the strong winds. The snow should end quickly from west to east late tonight and Saturday morning, but the gusty winds will continue into the afternoon. .LONG TERM...Saturday Night Through Thursday Issued at 352 AM CDT Fri Mar 31 2023 Mean flow to briefly turn zonal this weekend before the next significant upper trough dives southeast into the western CONUS Monday, then turns northeast and reaches the Great Lakes by the middle of the next week. The associated surface low is forecast to track to our west which would bring rain showers/potential thunderstorms to northeast WI. An open gulf could bring another swath of locally heavy rain and aggravate any localized flooding from this current system. Temperatures for the most part to be at or above normal for the first half of the week, then trend below normal. Saturday night and Sunday... High pressure will move toward the eastern Great Lakes region Saturday night with a return flow already underway over WI after midnight. Onset of WAA to our west could bring an increase in high clouds into central WI before daybreak. Anticipate temperatures to tank across northern WI due to fresh snow cover and light winds. Look for min temperatures to range from 5 to 10 above zero over our typical cold spots north, upper teens to lower 20s south. This push of WAA, coupled with a mid-level shortwave moving through the mean flow across northern sections of the Great Lakes, will bring a chance of light morning snow and light rain/snow mix to northern WI on Sunday. Cannot rule out a few stray rain or snow shower across central/east-central WI, but nothing of consequence. Even across the north, any limited accumulation would melt as temperatures rise into the upper 30s to around 40 degrees. For central/east-central WI, max temperatures to reach the middle 40s to around 50 degrees (warmer values west of the Fox Valley). Sunday night and Monday... Low pressure is forecast to move across southern Ontario and help to pull a cold front across WI Sunday night. Models show limited lift associated with the cold front and any mid-level forcing to remain to our north through the night, thus do not have any precipitation in the forecast. Under partly to mostly cloudy skies, min temperatures to range from the upper 20s north-central WI, to the middle 30s over east-central WI. A weak disturbance is expected to move along a quasi-stationary front draped across central sections of IL and IN on Monday. It appears that most if not all the associated precipitation would remain to our south, therefore have reduced pops over central/east-central WI. Max temperatures to be in the middle 40s north, upper 40s to lower 50s south. Monday night and Tuesday... Attention then turns to the central Plains where the next early Spring storm to be strengthening. Clouds will be on the increase Monday night with a surge of isentropic lift and gulf moisture overspreading northeast WI by Tuesday afternoon. Depending on the thermal profiles, northern WI could see snow or a wintry mix at the onset with more of a rain/snow mix thereafter. There could also be a few rumbles of thunder in the afternoon over central and east-central WI. Max temperatures to be around 40 degrees north, around 50 degrees over our southern tier of counties. Tuesday night and Wednesday... The strong surface low is progged to lift north-northeast from the Midwest to the Upper MS Valley Tuesday night with showers/possible thunderstorms preceding the passage of an occluded front. Behind this front, models show that a dry slot will sweep into WI later Tuesday night and diminish the precipitation. Depending on the timing/location of this dry slot, anticipate winds to really crank up late Tuesday night into Wednesday with potential gusts reaching 40 to 50 mph. There are some model issues with respect to the movement of the low pressure and associated wrap-around moisture that would bring precipitation back to parts of northeast WI on Wednesday. The ECMWF is faster with the surface low's exit, thus more bullish on precipitation chances. Too much uncertainty at this time, therefore will mention chance pops over the entire forecast area on Wednesday with max temperatures in the lower to middle 40s north, upper 40s to lower 50s south. Wednesday night and Thursday... Any wrap-around moisture will come to an end Wednesday night as the system pulls farther north into Canada. High pressure to then build into the Great Lakes region for Thursday bringing a return of sunshine to northeast WI. Temperatures will be noticeably cooler with readings to only be in the upper 30s north-central WI, lower to middle 40s elsewhere. && .AVIATION...for 12Z TAF Issuance Issued at 613 AM CDT Fri Mar 31 2023 IFR conditions are expected today and tonight as a storm system approaches from the Central Plains. Freezing rain and snow is expected north of a RRL to IMT line this morning. It will change to rain by afternoon. Periods of rain and a chance of thunderstorms are likely to the south. Rain will change to freezing rain and then snow from northwest to southeast tonight, before diminishing Saturday morning. Significant snow is likely north of a Wisconsin Rapids to Marinette line. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Winter Storm Warning until 10 AM CDT this morning for WIZ005- 010>013. Winter Storm Watch from this evening through Saturday afternoon for WIZ005-010>012-018-019. Winter Storm Watch from late tonight through Saturday afternoon for WIZ013-020-021-030-031-035>037-073-074.
