902 FXUS63 KGRB 112356 AFDGRB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 556 PM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 Updated aviation portion for 00Z TAF issuance .KEY MESSAGES... - Blustery tonight and Wednesday. Mix of light lake-effect rain and snow showers in north central Wisconsin tonight. - Moderating temperatures into the weekend, with highs around 60 degrees possible in central and east central Wisconsin by Saturday. - Below normal precipitation expected over the next week. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 309 PM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 A warm front was approaching the forecast area early this afternoon and generating widespread cloud cover over the region. Temperatures were still on the cool side, with readings in the 30s and lower 40s. Expect temperatures to remain fairly steady or slowly rise in some areas this evening before weak cold air advection arrives. Scattered light rain/snow showers are possible in the far north, initially due to WAA, then eventually weak lake-effect as winds switch to the west-northwest and Lake-H8 delta-t`s increase to 12 to 14 C. Not anticipating any snow accumulation at this time. Any lingering precipitation should end by Wednesday morning, with clearing skies occurring during the morning. High temperatures will remain cool, with readings in the upper 30s and 40s. High pressure will bring dry weather for the rest of the work week, with abundant sunshine and WAA leading to a gradual warmup. As the high shifts east Friday and Friday night, developing south flow will bring much warmer air into the region. This will be especially evident on Saturday, as gusty south to southwest winds develop ahead of a strong cold front and push high temperatures to at least 60 degrees in central and east central WI. The cold front looks to be moisture-starved, with only a chance of light showers or sprinkles expected Saturday into Saturday night. Much cooler and blustery conditions return on Sunday. The change in air mass is quite pronounced in the models, as 850 mb temperatures rise to +12 to +16 C by 12z/Saturday, then drop to -3 to -9 C by 12z/Sunday. A narrow NW to SE oriented ridge axis moves across the area Sunday night into Monday, accompanied by dry weather. The next low pressure system is expected to pass south of the region, and models disagree on whether or not it will track far enough north to bring precipitation to the forecast area. && .AVIATION...for 00Z TAF Issuance Issued at 551 PM CST Tue Nov 11 2025 Areas of MVFR CIGS will continue at time tonight into early Wednesday morning. The main story for tonight will be the winds. Low level wind shear will develop this evening from the west and become northwest overnight into Wednesday morning. Surface will be on the light side early this evening, then increase from west to east later this evening and overnight and continue on Wednesday with gusts to around 25 knots possible. Winds will then diminish towards sunset on Wednesday. Some spotty rain or snow showers are possible across the far north tonight, mainly from KRHI on northward. Little impact is expected. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$ DISCUSSION.....Kieckbusch AVIATION.......Eckberg
