525 FXUS63 KGRB 150503 AFDGRB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 1103 PM CST Fri Nov 14 2025 Updated aviation portion for 06Z TAF issuance .UPDATE... Issued at 856 PM CST Fri Nov 14 2025 Temps dropped off decently this evening east-central WI to as low as upper 30s, near 40 where skies have stayed clear. Light SE winds and the cooling temps have led to some fog forming. Thus far, webcams and obs in the area only point to minor vsby reductions. As warm front to the west shifts across WI the rest of the night, and as clouds thicken from the west, temps likely will bump up working through the overnight hours back through the 40s and the fog should abate. Arrival of a cold front on Saturday will result in brief period of very broken high-based showers. Models that are handling the rain over the Dakotas well are still not very bullish on showers occurring over much of our area on Saturday. Greatest chances for rain, still on track for northern and far northeast WI, generally from 5-6am through 9-10am. Once the front moves through, skies will clear out and northwest winds will turn gusty. No changes to the forecast in that regard. && .KEY MESSAGES... - Above normal temperatures through Saturday, returning to near or slightly below normal through next week. - Minimal precipitation through early next week, with only light rain possible Saturday morning, and again late Monday into Tuesday. - Worsening drought conditions will be possible due to the persistent dry pattern. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 417 PM CST Fri Nov 14 2025 Precipitation Chances...Mostly dry conditions are expected through the weekend and through the start of the work week. The only chance for precipitation will be in association with a cold front expected to drop across the region on Saturday, bringing a low chance of light rain (up to 35%) to the region Saturday morning. Any rainfall would be minimal or nothing given the lack of moisture with the front. The next chance for precipitation arrives late Monday into Tuesday from a system moving over IA/IL/MO. The northern precip shield of this system may spread into the southern portions of the forecast area. However, models (deterministic and ensembles) are still not in agreement with the placement of the precip/system. If the northern solution pans out, the southern portions of the forecast area could see a wintry mix, otherwise, the southern solution would keep conditions dry. High pressure follows this system for midweek, with the next chance of precip trailing the high pressure to end the work week. Temperatures...Southerly flow will keep above normal temperatures over the area into Saturday, before the cold front sweeps across the area causing temperatures to drop back to near or slightly below normal. That being said, tonight`s low temperatures will be about 15 to 20 degrees above normal ranging from the upper 30s to upper 40s. Saturday`s high temperatures, likely occurring around midday, will be about 10 to 15 degrees above normal ranging from the upper 40s to upper 50s. Cannot rule out the potential (NBM probs up to 50%) for a few spots in east-central WI seeing 60 or low 60s. Temperatures will quickly fall Saturday evening/night with lows ranging from the mid 20s to low 30s. High temperatures for the remainder of the weekend and into next week will mainly range from the upper 30s to mid 40s. Winds...Following the cold front on Saturday, southerly winds will veer northwest and increase by Saturday afternoon, as post- frontal CAA and a tightened pressure gradient supports surface gusts of 25 to 30+ mph through Sunday. && .AVIATION...for 06Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1102 PM CST Fri Nov 14 2025 A cold front will pass across Wisconsin Saturday morning. As the front crosses, a few high-based showers (VFR cigs and vsby) may occur. Dry low-level air will be main inhibiting factor in seeing much rain. PROB30 group is now only included at RHI centered on 12z Sat. Ahead of the front, mid-high clouds continue to thicken from the west. Where it has been clear this evening, light fog (1-3SM) developed near the lakeshore at MTW and this will gradually fade away overnight. A 40kt low-level jet down to 010 AGL atop light winds at the sfc will result in developing LLWS, lasting until early Saturday morning. Once the front passes, expect NW surface winds to increase with gusts of 15-25 kts. Winds will gradually diminish Saturday evening. Overcast skies in the morning will scatter out in the afternoon, with skies mostly clear on Saturday night. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$ UPDATE.........JLA DISCUSSION.....Kruk AVIATION.......JLA
