023 FXUS63 KGRB 211127 AFDGRB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 527 AM CST Fri Nov 21 2025 Updated aviation portion for 12Z TAF issuance .KEY MESSAGES... - Quiet with moderating temperatures into early next week. Precipitation chances return late Monday through Tuesday. - Windy and turning colder with snow showers possible Tuesday night into Thursday. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 319 AM CST Fri Nov 21 2025 A weak cold front was moving through the southern part of the forecast area early this morning, accompanied only by a narrow band of low clouds. Temperatures were in the 20s northwest and 30s elsewhere. Mainly dry weather is anticipated from tonight through Monday morning. High pressure will reside over the forecast area today and tonight, and again late Saturday night through Monday morning. In between, a weak frontal system will move through the region on Saturday. WAA, mid-level FGEN and a weak short-wave trough may generate enough saturation for a scattered light mix of rain/snow near the WI/Upper MI border between 15z-21z/Sat. Rest of the forecast: The remnants of a Southwest U.S. upper low will lift northeast toward the Great Lakes, bringing widespread light rain Monday afternoon into Tuesday. A strong upper trough or upper low over the Northern Plains will then shift northeast toward Lake Superior, bringing a mix of rain/snow Tuesday night into Wednesday, and a chance of snow showers Wednesday night into Thursday. The best chance of accumulating snow appears to be over far north central WI, though amounts could vary significantly, depending on whether wind trajectories are west or northwest. Northwest flow will be much more favorable for lake-effect, especially in far north central WI/Vilas County. As this system pulls out to the northeast, gusty west to northwest winds will develop, with possible gales developing on Lake Michigan. Temperatures: Normal to above normal temperatures are expected through early next week, with a trend toward much below normal readings mid to late week. && .AVIATION...for 12Z TAF Issuance Issued at 521 AM CST Fri Nov 21 2025 Most of the forecast area cleared out overnight, but patches of MVFR clouds were still moving through C/EC WI. ATW looks most likely to have a brief period of MVFR ceilings, so put a couple hour TEMPO group in there, but will need to monitor GRB/MTW too. Expect clear skies for the rest of the day, with increasing high/mid clouds arriving late tonight. West-northwest winds will gust to 15 knots today, then winds become light and variable tonight. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$ DISCUSSION.....Kieckbusch AVIATION.......Kieckbusch
