...A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM CONTINUES TO IMPACT THE REGION WITH 
HEAVY SNOW AND STRONG WINDS THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING...

.A strengthening low pressure system will track from southern Lake 
Michigan to Lake Huron by Saturday morning. The strong system will 
bring heavy snow and strong winds to the region. Most of the region 
should see total snowfall accumulations between 6 to 20 inches of 
snow, with the highest amounts across the Door Peninsula. In 
addition, wind gusts will continue to gust to 45 mph in the Fox 
Valley, lakeshore, and the bayshore where blizzard conditions are 
expected into Saturday morning.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Green Bay WI
1031 PM CST Thu Jan 11 2024

Updated aviation portion for 06Z TAF issuance

.UPDATE...
Issued at 855 PM CST Thu Jan 11 2024

No changes to headlines this evening, as the overall forecast
seems on track. Considered the issuance of a Blizzard Warning
for the Fox Valley and lakeshore areas late Friday afternoon and
Friday night. Wind gusts will easily exceed the 35 mph criteria
and moderate to heavy snow will be ongoing, but overall confidence
in sustained 1/4 mile visibilities is not quite there. Opted to
continue the mention of near-blizzard conditions in the WSW
product.

Otherwise, made minor changes to slow down the timing of the
incoming snow late tonight into Friday morning, and increased
snowfall amounts to 12 to 14 inches in the eastern Fox Valley and
lakeshore areas. Do not feel that east flow off Lake Michigan
will result in as much rain or lowered snowfall amounts as what
happened on Tuesday. A quick comparison of the low-level thermal
profile between Tuesday and Friday indicated that 925/850 mb
temperatures will be about 2 C cooler with the upcoming system,
and 1000-850 thicknesses are lower too. That being said, we still
kept slightly lower snowfall totals of 8 to 10 inches in the Two
Rivers and Manitowoc areas.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...

 - A strong low pressure system remains on track to bring heavy
   snow and strong winds to the region on Friday and Saturday.
   Total snowfall amounts and winds have remained relatively
   steady since the previous forecast, though accumulations were
   raised an inch or two in parts of eastern WI. A Winter Storm
   Warning is in effect.

 - The snow will initially may be a bit too wet to blow around
   much, but as colder air gets drawn into the system it will
   become more powdery late Friday afternoon into Friday night. As
   this occurs, strong northeast to north winds will be increasing
   to 35 to 50 mph across the region, and blowing and drifting
   snow will increase. Near blizzard conditions will be possible
   at times, especially in the Fox Valley and lakeshore areas on
   Friday night. Travel is strongly discouraged.

 - Much colder temperatures move into the region after the system
   departs on Saturday. Wind chills may become dangerously cold
   each morning from Sunday to Wednesday, possibly warranting
   wind chill headlines.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 247 PM CST Thu Jan 11 2024

Short Term...Tonight and Friday

The latest RAP analysis and satellite/radar imagery show the storm
system that impacted the region last night has exited the region
to the central and eastern Great Lakes. Clearing has occurred over
a good chunk of northeast WI. Meanwhile, low stratus remains
present across much of western and southern Wisconsin. Flurries
have been ongoing across far northwest and north-central WI as
well as northeast Minnesota near a weak surface trough.

Looking upstream, a Colorado low is emerging from the Rockies with
snow developing on the northern flank of the system. Warm
advection clouds are already streaming into southwest Minnesota
ahead of the low.

Forecast concerns continue to revolve around the evolution of the
the potent Colorado low as it moves into the Great Lakes on
Friday, along with the heavy snow and strong wind trends.

Tonight...Light wintry precip will likely continue across far
northern WI along the surface trough. Forecast soundings indicate
it remains possible that ice crystals are lost in the clouds,
though haven't seen evidence of that upstream. No matter, don't
think any freezing drizzle or light snow will be significant
enough to cause much in the way of impacts. Otherwise, mid and
upper clouds will continue to increase across the region and lower
through the night. After midnight, an increasing 50-60kt low level
jet will send the first wave of precip towards central and east-
central WI by 5-6 am Friday.

Friday morning through late Friday afternoon...Strong
frontogenesis aloft on the nose of the low level jet will provide
the focus for the first wave of moderate to heavy precip to spread
rapidly north across the region during the morning. The href
indicates that snowfall rates may reach up to 1"/hour within this
band of precip thanks to strong lift in a 5000 ft dendritic snow
growth zone. These heavier snowfall rates will likely impact parts
of central and east- central WI during the morning commute before
reaching far northeast WI around midday. Snowfall amounts could
reach 2-4" to 3-5" over parts of central and east-central WI
through the noon hour, while may only reach an inch near the U.P.
border.

There are some indications of a relative lull in the precipitation
after 12 pm as the surface low approaches southern Lake Michigan
by 6 pm Friday. Behind the fgen band, forcing weakens for a time
and there is evidence of saturation issues aloft that has lead to
a decrease in precip during the afternoon hours. The reduced
precip rates, combined with diurnal heating and strengthening east
winds could lead to surface temps warming into the 32 to 34
degree range along the lakeshore. As we saw in the last storm
earlier this week, the warming temps above freezing could lead to
lower snow accumulations and maybe even rain mixing in with the
snow for a time. Manually lowered snow ratios and raised temps to
account for this possibility. The highest snowfall should occur
over far northeast WI where the fgen band will be in the process
of lifting northward. Snowfall amounts could range from 1-2
inches over east- central and lakeshore to 3-5" near Niagara and
Wausaukee.

Late Friday afternoon through Friday night...As the low continues
to lift northeast and slows across the Lower Peninsula of
Michigan, snowfall rates are expected to increase again late
Friday afternoon into Friday evening and approach 1"+/hour once
again. At the same time, winds will be backing around to the
north, and reducing the lake influence on temperatures and
increasing snow:liquid ratios. The increase precip rates should
lead to any mixing precip types changing back over to snow. The
column will be cooling in the process, and therefore, should see a
change of snow types from the relatively wet or normal into the
dry/fluffy type. Winds will also be increasing to a widespread 35
to 50 mph, highest along the Lake Michigan shoreline.

The combo of strong winds and dry, fluffy snow will lead to
significant blowing and drifting and near blizzard conditions.
Another 1-2" to 3-5" appears possible during the evening hours.
East-west orientated roads and highways will be most impacted. Travel
will be strongly discouraged on Friday night.

In terms of headlines, will be upgrading the entire Winter Storm
Watch to a Winter Storm Warning, and add Vilas, Oneida, and
Lincoln into the Warning as well. Forecast snowfall amounts have
remained steady, perhaps decreased slightly along the lakeshore
and increased slightly over north-central WI. This puts the entire
forecast area into the 6-12" range, highest over northeast WI.

Long Term...Friday Night Through Thursday

Focus for the long-term forecast period continues to be a strong
winter storm that will bring impacts to much of the forecast area
as it departs Friday night into Saturday morning. Most recent
ensemble guidance has been tracking the driving surface low
further west and deepening it quicker as it approaches the Great
Lakes region. Some models have suggested that the low will deepen
by as much as 12 to 14 mb over a 12-hour period as it moves from
the southern Plains into the Ohio River Valley, which may affect
snowfall rates, amounts, and wind gusts across the forecast area.
A Winter Storm Warning for heavy snow and strong winds is now in
effect for the entire CWA given higher snow totals trending further
north and west.

Precipitation... Remnant light to moderate snowfall will likely
be ongoing especially across the Fox Valley to lakeshore areas as
the system exits to the northeast late Friday night into early
Saturday morning. Given recent model trends tracking the surface
low across southwest Michigan to southern Lake Michigan, exact
snowfall amounts along the lakeshore area have become slightly
more uncertain. Probabilities of exceeding 6 inches of snowfall
remain in the 80 to 90% range for much of east-central Wisconsin,
with higher storm totals likely especially after Friday night as
cold air makes its way further south and the transition to all
snow has occurred. Snow ratios are expected to increase during
this time, resulting in lighter and fluffier snow that will
accumulate quicker. For this reason, current probabilistic
guidance has suggested increased probabilities of exceeding 8 to
10 inches of snowfall across most of east-central Wisconsin with
locally higher amounts approaching 12 inches in proximity to the
lakeshore.

Winds... Winds are expected to start ramping up on the back edge
of the system as it continues to deepen Friday night. Lingering
high pressure hovering across the US/Canada border to the
northwest will continue to force a tight pressure gradient on the
back end of the surface low, with probabilities of exceeding 40
mph wind gusts increasing to around 70 to 90% along much of the
Wisconsin/UP border and lakeshore areas. 50 to 70% probabilities
of approaching 50 mph wind gusts are mostly confined to the Fox
Valley to the lakeshore. Light snow will continue to fall on top
of a fresh snowpack during this time, making blowing and drifting
snow a continued hazard to travel.

Temperatures... Arctic air will move in to much of the Midwest
following the passage of this system. Near surface temperatures
Monday and Tuesday hone in to around 12 to 14 degrees colder than
the model climatology for this time of year, with the NAEFS
suggesting surface temperatures to be around 3 standard deviations
below average for this time. Low temperatures Sunday morning
through Wednesday morning are expected to be dangerously cold,
ranging from the single to double digits below zero with winds
still gusting over 20 mph. At temperatures this low, it won't take
much wind to quickly tank wind chills down into the mid 20s to
low 30s below zero, especially Monday and Tuesday morning. This
would put us solidly within Wind Chill Advisory criteria, so
continuing to monitor the potential for wind chill headlines
during this time.

&&

.AVIATION...for 06Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 1017 PM CST Thu Jan 11 2024

MVFR ceilings covered the forecast area late this evening, and
patchy light flurries and freezing drizzle were occurring across
far north central WI. A deepening winter storm was moving into the
mid-Mississippi Valley.

Light snow will begin to spread into the area as the winter storm
arrives around sunrise Friday. Snow intensity and reduced
visibilities will then spread from south to north during the mid
to late morning, with IFR vsbys west and LIFR vsbys in eastern WI.
Poor flying conditions (mainly IFR/LIFR, with brief periods of
VLIFR possible in eastern WI) will continue Friday afternoon and
evening due to moderate to heavy snow and strong northeast to
north winds. The worst conditions will likely occur in the Fox
Valley, bayshore and lakeshore areas in the late afternoon and
evening, as gusts increase to 35 to 45 kts. Considerable blowing
and drifting of the snow is expected with near white-out
conditions at times from Friday evening into Saturday morning.
Snowfall amounts of 5 to 8 inches are expected in north central
WI, with 8 to 14 inches across the rest of the forecast area.
