557 FXUS63 KGRB 202339 AFDGRB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 539 PM CST Thu Nov 20 2025 Updated aviation portion for 00Z TAF issuance .KEY MESSAGES... - Patchy fog, light rain, and drizzle continues through late this evening. - Precipitation chances return late Monday through late Wednesday. - Near normal to above normal temperatures expected through early next week, turning cooler (below normal) Wednesday into Thursday. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 342 PM CST Thu Nov 20 2025 Tonight...Foggy and drizzly conditions under overcast skies prevailed across the region for much of the day, ahead of an approaching cold front. This cold front is expected to sweep southeast across the area between late this afternoon through late this evening. Given upstream observations and radar imagery indicated light rain was falling along the front, decided to include low chance PoPs (15-20%) across the area this evening. The front will also push the fog out of the area upon arrival. Clearing skies will be a bit delayed following the frontal passage, potentially not clearing until Friday morning. Given the uncertainty in clearing, increased low temperatures by a degree or two with values ranging from the mid 20s to low 30s. Rest of the forecast...Surface high pressure moves into the region for Friday into Saturday, keeping conditions dry. A shortwave and weak cold front look to move across Upper Mississippi Valley Saturday into Saturday night, but the main shortwave should stay far enough north to limit precip potential for the forecast area. High pressure moves back into the region Sunday into Monday, bringing the return of dry weather. Long-range models indicate the next chance for precip will be sometime from Monday night through Wednesday, and possibly lingering into Thursday. The first feature of interest is the remnants of an upper-level low/trough lifting into the region late Monday into Tuesday from the southwest U.S., with another upper-level low/trough from the Northern Plains late Tuesday into Wednesday. P-type with the first part appears to be rain as warmer air will prevail; the second part looks to have more of a wintry mix due to colder air dropping into the area from Canada. && .AVIATION...for 00Z TAF Issuance Issued at 538 PM CST Thu Nov 20 2025 Low ceilings and patchy fog will make for IFR conditions across most TAF sites this evening. Some improvement is expected as we get into the overnight period as a weak cold front brings in drier air for the low levels, with some MVFR ceilings visible upstream on satellite and clearing likely to follow sometime Friday morning. Therefore, expect gradual, but slow improvement in the flying conditions through the overnight period, with MVFR in most locations early Friday morning and then good flying conditions by Friday afternoon. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$ DISCUSSION.....Kruk AVIATION.......Uhlmann
