101 FXUS63 KGRB 031114 AFDGRB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 514 AM CST Mon Nov 3 2025 Updated aviation portion for 12Z TAF issuance .KEY MESSAGES... - Precipitation chances expected early this morning, Tuesday night into early Wednesday, Thursday night into Friday, and over the weekend. - Windy today with winds of 25 to 35 mph expected. - Near to slightly above normal normal temperatures anticipated through the work week, then cooler next weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 204 AM CST Mon Nov 3 2025 Rain showers will end from west to east early this morning as a cold front sweeps through the area, which will also turn winds from southwest to a westerly direction. Skies will also clear behind the cold front, meaning mostly sunny skies should be had the rest of today and into the afternoon. Despite the clearing skies, winds will stay gusty as a tight pressure gradient will remain across northeast Wisconsin. Westerly winds are expected to gust to 25 to 35 mph today. The gusty winds, combined with RHs of 20 to 30 percent in the sandy soil areas, will result in elevated fire weather conditions in the afternoon. Another moisture-starved system is expected Tuesday night into Wednesday. The surface low is trending farther north, which results in most of the precipitation falling over the Upper Peninsula of MI and far northern WI. Additional systems will impact the region Thursday night into Friday, and over the weekend, and appear to have better potential to produce widespread precipitation. The weekend system will be much colder, with a mix of rain/snow expected. Temperatures look to remain at or slightly above normal through the work week, then drop below normal for the weekend. && .AVIATION...for 12Z TAF Issuance Issued at 514 AM CST Mon Nov 3 2025 Mostly clear skies and VFR conditions will prevail across the TAF sites through this evening. Some high clouds will stream in overnight, becoming BKN across north-central Wisconsin. Gusty west winds of 20-30 knots are expected today in the wake of a cold front. Some LLWS is expected early in the TAF period before mixing brings the higher gusts to the surface. LLWS will redevelop this evening as surface winds ease and the highest low level winds no longer mix to the surface. High pressure building in across the region will eventually end the LLWS as the low level jet pushes off to the east. && .MARINE... Issued at 204 AM CST Mon Nov 3 2025 Southwest winds continue to be gusty across the Lake Michigan waters, although most sites are just shy of gale force. The threat for gales will continue through early this morning when a cold front shifts winds to the west. Although a few gale force gusts will be possible this afternoon, gales are not expected to be ubiquitous as NBM probabilities of exceeding gales today are at best 10 percent. Therefore, will continue the current headlines of following the Gale Warning with a Small Craft Advisory for the rest of today going into tonight with wind gusts of 25 to 30 knots. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$ DISCUSSION.....Kurimski AVIATION.......Kurimski MARINE.........Kurimski
