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 Jan 11, 2:50 PM CST, 1 minute earlier. Its 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. The probability of 6 inches or more of snow ranges from around 60 percent over north- central Wisconsin to greater than 90 percent over northeast Wisconsin. A Winter Storm Warning has been issued.
- The system will likely impact the forecast area in two phases. The first phase will arrive on Friday morning with a relatively wetter snowfall and moderate east winds. Some rain may mix in with the snow along the lakeshore at times. Precipitation will likely transition to a lighter, fluffier snow Friday night at the same time as north winds increase to 35 to 50 mph across the region. Near blizzard conditions will be possible at times on Friday night and 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.

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 18Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1139 AM CST Thu Jan 11 2024 Light snow has ended across northeast Wisconsin late this morning while partial clearing is spreading south from KIMT to KGRB. This clearing trend should continue through late afternoon. Plenty of MVFR stratus upstream, however, across the western half of Wisconsin. It's possible that VFR conditions could return to RHI to AUW/CWA late this afternoon into this evening. Light snow will begin to spread into the area towards sunrise on Friday. Snow intensity and reduce visibilities to LIFR will then spread from south to north by mid to late morning. Poor flying conditions are expected Friday into Saturday morning due to heavy snow and strong east and northeast/north winds from a strong low pressure system moving across the region. Wind gusts over 35 knots are expected later Friday afternoon into Saturday morning, especially over eastern Wisconsin. A few gusts could be around 45 knots near the Lake Michigan shoreline. Snowfall amounts of 6 to 12 inches are expected east of a Marshfield to Land O' Lakes line. Considerable blowing and drifting of the snow is expected with near white-out conditions at times is expected from late Friday evening into Saturday morning. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
