What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind advisory 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 wind advisory went out at Nov 25, 5:15 AM CST, 5 hours 43 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- A Winter Storm Warning has been issued for north-central Wisconsin from late tonight through early Thursday morning. Heavy snow of 6 to 12 inches is expected, with locally higher amounts in excess of 18 inches possible in the northwest corner of Vilas County.
- A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for Lincoln and Langlade Counties for 3 to 5 inches of snow and hazardous travel conditions. Additional winter weather headlines may be needed for counties further south and east across central and far northeast WI.
- Strong northwest winds gusting 35 to 45 mph will develop on Wednesday. This will lead to blowing and drifting snow in the winter headline areas and difficult driving conditions for high profile vehicles across the entire area. Isolated power outages are possible.
Area forecast discussion, Nov 25, 5:15 AM CST, 5 hours 43 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 515 AM CST Tue Nov 25 2025 Updated aviation portion for 12Z TAF issuance .KEY MESSAGES... - A Winter Storm Warning has been issued for north-central Wisconsin from late tonight through early Thursday morning. Heavy snow of 6 to 12 inches is expected, with locally higher amounts in excess of 18 inches possible in the northwest corner of Vilas County. - A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for Lincoln and Langlade Counties for 3 to 5 inches of snow and hazardous travel conditions.

This will lead to blowing and drifting snow in the winter headline areas and difficult driving conditions for high profile vehicles across the entire area. Isolated power outages are possible. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 344 AM CST Tue Nov 25 2025 The latest RAP analysis shows a rather energetic pattern shaping up across the northern lower 48. Various shortwaves are moving east from northern Missouri to southwest Wisconsin early this morning, while the most dynamic shortwave is tracking east across southeast Montana. At the surface, low pressure is gathering strength over the western Dakotas, with an associated frontal system stretching northeast across north-central Wisconsin. As this low pressure tracks east and intensifies over Wisconsin tonight through Wednesday, the focus of this forecast revolves around highly impactful winter weather during one of the busiest travel days of the year. Short Term...Today through Wednesday Night Precipitation Trends: Weak lift is occurring across Wisconsin within a 900-800mb convergent zone and modest warm/moist advection early this morning. This convergence is leading to a band of light rain over central, north-central, and far northeast WI, with pockets of lower visibilities. Rainfall will be focused along the relatively stalled front across north-central WI today, while spottier showers or drizzle could occur further south in the broad, weak warm advection pattern. Expect an overcast day with little change in temperatures, ranging from the upper 30s to upper 40s. The low continues to intensify as it tracks across north-central and far northeast WI tonight. Strong QG and frontogenetical forcing will accompany the low, leading to widespread precipitation across the area. The heaviest precipitation is forecast to occur within the trowal airstream over north-central WI. While thermal profiles look too warm for snow initially in the evening, strong lift and heavy precipitation rates combined with northeast winds advecting in colder air should lead to a gradual transition from rain to snow starting around mid evening over Vilas county and reaching the Lake Michigan shoreline by mid to late morning Wednesday. As the comma head precipitation sweeps across the area on Wednesday in strong cold advection, precipitation will change to snow at nearly all locations (except maybe the Door Peninsula) by Wednesday morning. Nearly all locations will have the potential to see 1-2 inches of snow on Wednesday. Most snowfall will diminish in coverage and intensity by late Wednesday afternoon or evening, becoming confined to the snowbelt of Vilas County. Heavy Snow Potential: Thermodynamic profiles look quite favorable for heavy snow accumulations from late Tuesday night through about mid-afternoon due to a large dendritic growth layer over north-central Wisconsin. Lake enhancement looks quite favorable for Vilas County from Wednesday morning through Wednesday night, with delta- Ts around 14-17C, favorable wind trajectories, and equilibrium levels increasing to around 10 kft. The heaviest synoptic QPF and lake effect will occur in the snowbelt of Vilas County, where there is a 60-90% chance of 10 inches or more of snow accumulations. There is a signal (greater than 50% chance) of snow reaching greater than 20 inches in the far northwest corner of Vilas County. Consequently, Vilas County was upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning. Surrounding areas in Oneida, Forest, and Florence counties are expected to see snowfall amounts ranging from about 3 to 8 inches, but uncertainty is higher there due to potential dry slot issues. Given the strong winds, blowing and drifting snow, and heavy travel weekend, the Watch was upgraded to a Warning for these counties as well. Lincoln and Langlade counties were placed in an Advisory for 3 to 5 inches. Snowfall amounts trail off abruptly over Menominee, Northern Oconto, and Northern Marinette counties, so no headlines were issued there for now. Strong Winds: With strong subsidence in cold advection on the back side of the low, strong northwest winds are likely to occur late tonight through Wednesday. Gusts of 40-45 mph appear likely (50-80% chance) across most of the area. Winds may be slightly lower in the heavy snow area (30-40 mph). The strong winds combined with heavy snow will make for very difficult travel over north-central WI late Tuesday night and Wednesday. Travel could become impossible in Vilas county if the higher end snowfall amounts materialize. Long Term...Thursday through Monday Strong low pressure will be departing the region over Quebec on Thursday. Strong cold advection will be ongoing in an amplifying pattern across North America. Lake effect snow showers will likely continue into Thursday over north-central WI and perhaps the northern Door Peninsula, with flurries possible over far northeast WI outside of these areas. An additional 1-3 inches of snow seems possible in Vilas County as delta-Ts remain in the mid to upper teens with favorable wind trajectories. While light snow will likely continue into Thursday night, dry air finally arrives from the west over western Lake Superior, which should put an end to any significant accumulations. Gusty winds to 35 mph are likely on Thanksgiving Day, making for a blustery holiday. An amplifying long wave trough over the center of the continent will lead to energy crossing the region on Saturday. The system doesn't look particularly strong, with an inverted surface trough accompanying energy aloft. Probabilities indicate a 40-60% chance of 1 inch or more of snow across central to northeast WI, with the highest probabilities along the Lake Michigan shoreline. Yet another system could pass close to the region by early next week. && .AVIATION...for 12Z TAF Issuance Issued at 506 AM CST Tue Nov 25 2025 A deepening low pressure system will create precipitation regionwide at times today through Wednesday and poor flying conditions. A widespread mix of LIFR and IFR conditions are present across the region early this morning. Some improvement in conditions is possible during the day today, but IFR/MVFR visibilities are likely to stick around. Precipitation is expected to be widespread tonight. Rain will change over to snow from west to east tonight into Wednesday morning. A couple inches of snow may accumulate by the end of the TAF period at Rhinelander. Several inches of accumulations are likely north of Rhinelander. Winds will be on increase as well late tonight, but moreso on Wednesday when gusts are likely to reach up to 35 to 45 mph at times by mid to late morning. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Winter Storm Warning from 9 PM this evening to 6 AM CST Thursday for WIZ005. Winter Storm Warning from midnight tonight to 6 PM CST Wednesday for WIZ010>012.
