580 FXUS63 KGRB 110944 AFDGRB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 344 AM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 Forecast discussion for routine morning forecast issuance .KEY MESSAGES... - Light snow and flurries this morning. Little to no impacts are expected for the morning commute. Breezy today and Wednesday. - Temperatures will gradually warm through the rest of the week. Highs rise above normal Thursday through Saturday. - A chance of rain with gusty winds this weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 344 AM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 A fairly quiet week expected across the region with only some morning flurries/light snow today, a little breezy today and Wednesday, then a split flow regime leads to uncertainty regarding the next chance for precip this weekend. Temps will return to above normal by late in the week. Today into Wednesday: WAA and FGEN will continue to produce a north-south orientated band of flurries and light snow early this morning. But surface observations and model soundings continue to show dry air under 10,000 ft making it difficult for the snow to reach the surface. There has been enough saturation for at least a period of light snow within this band as it continues to shift east through the morning hours, but it will continue to fight the dry low level air. Accumulation should be a tenth or two, with little to no impacts expected. The activity will exit to our east by late morning. North-central WI will see some light rain/snow showers late this afternoon through late evening as surface-850mb winds turn to the northwest and a weak through swings across the region. With Lake Superior water temps still running in the 5-9C range and 850mb temps dropping to -4C to -6C, delta Ts will climb into the low to mid teens. Inversion heights will also climb to ~7,000ft with a period of deeper moisture pushing over the northern Great Lakes. These will combine to produce some lake enhancement, especially this evening. However, snowfall totals will be limited (to under a half inch) due to the inversion heights not reaching the DGZ, some rain mixing in, and drier air arriving overnight. Clouds are expected to start the day, with some partial clearing aided by downsloping winds over eastern WI late this afternoon. Then more clouds return for a time this evening to the entire area, with a more pronounced clearing trend overnight into Wednesday as flow turns westerly. Temps will slowly moderate today and Wednesday, with highs in the mid 30s to low 40s today and in the upper 30s to upper 40s. Southwest to west winds gusting to around 25 mph will drop wind chills into the teens and 20s this morning. West to northwest winds gusting to 35 mph on Wednesday will produce wind chills in the 20s and 30s. Late This Weekend and Weekend: GEFS/ENS/GEPS in good agreement to bringing mid and upper level ridging over the western Great Lakes late in the week with dry conditions expected. Temps will continue to moderate, with above normal readings expected Thursday-Saturday. It will be a brief return to spring-like temps for many locations, and a few spots look to make a run at 60 degrees (10-35% of 60+ south of Hwy 29). Uncertainty remains this weekend on how split flow and an upper low to our southwest will track/play out. Latest guidance showing the region seeing a shot at some precip sometime this weekend with a northern stream system and frontal boundary, but still some question how strong it will be and how much wind and cold air it will bring. && .AVIATION...for 06Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1128 PM CST Mon Nov 10 2025 High clouds will stream in overnight, maintaining a BKN-OVC deck of clouds. Light SN and flurries are possible for a few hours late overnight at KAUW, KCWA, and KRHI. No significant impacts are expected, with high cloud bases maintaining VFR flight conditions. A brief period of LLWS is possible Tuesday morning at KAUW, KCWA, and KRHI, with WS020/22035KT or WS020/23035KT. SFC winds will become lighter overnight, generally 3-7 kts from the W-NW, becoming more southerly by Tuesday morning at 6-10 kts with gusts up to 18 kts at KGRB, KATW, and KMTW. A cold front will sweep through the region Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday evening. The front will be noted mainly by a shift in wind direction, with dry conditions expected at the TAF sites and VFR conditions. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
