Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Green Bay WI
232 PM CST Wed Feb 5 2025

Forecast discussion for routine afternoon forecast issuance

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Light snow will impact the area this evening into Thursday
  morning. There is a 60-90% chance for at least 2" of snow north
  of a Merill to Wausaukee line. Lower snowfall amounts are
  expected south of this line. A period of freezing drizzle is
  possible, especially as the snow ends Thursday morning, which
  may create a glaze of ice on untreated roads and surfaces.

- Increasing westerly winds are expected late Thursday morning
  into Thursday evening with gusts of 30-50 mph. There is a 60-80%
  of 45+ mph winds in central and east central WI. A Wind Advisory
  has been post for locations south of a Tomahawk to Wausaukee
  line. There is a small chance (less than 10 percent) that winds
  could gust over 55 mph.

- Another round of accumulating snow is possible this weekend,
  with an area-wide chance of 65-80% for at least 3" of snow and a
  50-60% chance for greater than 6".

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 231 PM CST Wed Feb 5 2025

Short Term...Tonight and Thursday

A clipper system will move across the region tonight, bringing a
round of light snow which could switch over to freezing drizzle
before ending. The main concern tonight with respect to snowfall
amounts and precipitation types will be saturation at the low
and mid levels. Radar shows a band of echoes moving into southwest
Wisconsin, however none of this is reaching the ground. Bufkit
soundings indicated a large dry layers from 925 mb to 700mb
through early this evening. I have delayed the onset of the snow
by a few hours with the main brunt of the snow from mid evening
into early Thursday morning. Snowfall amounts should be under an
inch south of a Wausau to Marinette line. Snowfall totals across
the far north have been lowered a little bit with amounts around
two and a half inches across Vilas County. Bufkit soundings
indicated the light snow would taper off to freezing drizzle late
tonight into early Thursday. With a light snowfall expected
and expecting road crews to be plowing/treating roads, the impact
of the freezing drizzle is not expected to be significant. Evening
shift may need to monitor if a Winter Weather Advisory may be
needed if the freezing drizzle becomes more impactful.

Any lingering precipitation will end Thursday morning. The main
concern will the strong west winds. Increasing westerly winds are
expected late Thursday morning into Thursday evening with gusts
of 30-50 mph. There is a 60-80% of 45+ mph winds in central and
east central WI. A Wind Advisory has been post for locations south
of a Tomahawk to Wausaukee line. There is a small chance (less
than 10 percent) that winds could gust over 55 mph. If would
mixed to 3,000 feet like the bufkit soundings suggest, some
locations could peak out near High Wind Warning Criteria (58 mph
or greater gusts). Highs should top out in the 20s to lower 30s,
but will likely gradually fall during the afternoon.

Long Term...Thursday Night Through Wednesday

Strong Winds Thursday Evening...Cold advection and mixing into a
strong 35-45kt 925mb jet behind a departing short-wave will continue
to produce strong westerly winds Thursday evening into the early
overnight hours. Wind will begin to diminish first across northern
WI during the evening. However, HREF probs show ~25% chance for
gusts greater than 45 mph in east-central WI through 10pm Thursday.
Winds will have greatly diminished by daybreak Friday with generally
light winds expected the remainder of Friday.

Weekend Snow Chances...The best chance for snowfall through the
extended forecast arrives Saturday as a Pacific waves works across
the northern plains into the upper Midwest. Synoptic scale models
show a LFQ providing upper-level support to this system as
widespread snow beginning to spread west to east across the region.
Forecast soundings show dendritic grow should be very efficient
Saturday with strong lift in a deeply saturated DGZ. SLRs are also
forecast to be 15-20:1 which may help snowfall totals. However, one
potential downfall for this event is dry air entrainment from a
developing high pressure system over the northern Plains and
Canadian prairie. Pinning down snowfall amounts with this remains a
challenge, as the NBM 10-90th percentile range is 3-12" across much of
the region.

As this system comes into range for the CAMs over the next 48 hours
should start to get a better handle on the mesoscale features (i.e.
f-gen banding and lake enhancement). Winter Weather headlines will
likely be needed this weekend, but the exact details will need to be
refined.

Temperatures...Colder air is forecast to arriver behind this weekend
system to start next week. NBM probs shows a 50-80% chance for lows
Monday mornings to fall below zero with wind chills falling into the
-5 to -15 degree range. The colder air will stick around at least
through next Wednesday.

.AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance
Issued at 1128 AM CST Wed Feb 5 2025

MVFR CIGS at KMTW are expected to expand westward into the Fox
Valley later this afternoon (KATW/KOSH/KGRB) as low level winds
turns to the east. Otherwise, CIGS will drop into the MVFR/IFR
category tonight over the remainder of central, north-central and
far northeast Wisconsin. Snow is expected to arrive across much of
the area during the evening, although arrival time will be
dependent on how quickly the atmosphere becomes saturated. Snow
will continue into the overnight hours before transitioning over
to freezing drizzle for a few hours before the precipitation ends.
On Thursday, strong west winds are expected with gusts of 40 knots
likely across central and east-central Wisconsin. A few of the
gusts could reach 45 to 50 knots. The strong winds will continue
into early Thursday evening, before gradually subsiding.

Southern Oconto County-
222 PM CST Wed Feb 5 2025

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for north-central and northeast
Wisconsin.

.DAY ONE...Tonight

Hazardous travel is expected due to accumulating snow this evening
through Thursday morning. Heaviest snow will be across northern
Wisconsin. Freezing drizzle may mix with the snow as the snow ends
from southwest to northeast Thursday morning, which may create a
light glaze on untreated roads and surfaces.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Wednesday

Hazardous travel may continue Thursday morning due to a lingering
mix of freezing drizzle and snow, mainly across northern Wisconsin,
which may create a light glaze on untreated roads and surfaces.

Gusty west winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts of 35 to 50 mph are
expected Thursday afternoon and evening. a few higher gusts over
50 mph are possible across central and east-central Wisconsin.
The gusty winds may create minor blowing and drifting snow and
cause difficult travel for high-profile vehicles, especially on
north- south oriented roads. The strong winds may also cause some
damage to trees and power lines, resulting in sporadic power
outages.

Hazardous travel is again expected Saturday through early Sunday
from another round of widespread snowfall.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotters are requested to report freezing drizzle or snowfall
totals over an inch tonight and Thursday morning. Spotters
are requested report wind gusts over 40 mph Thursday afternoon
and evening.
