736 FXUS63 KGRB 101600 AFDGRB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 1000 AM CST Mon Nov 10 2025 New information added to update section. .UPDATE... Issued at 956 AM CST Mon Nov 10 2025 The Winter Weather Advisory will continue for the Door Peninsula through the afternoon despite a lull in the activity so far this morning. A mesolow is dropping south towards Munising and timing has the center of the low arriving at Washington Island around 12 pm. The leading edge will likely arrive between 11 am and 12 pm. Based on returns from the KMQT radar, a quick 1-2 inches will be possible over the northern Door Peninsula if the snow holds together. The high snowfall rates could catch motorists off guard should intensities remain steady. && .KEY MESSAGES... - Another bout of lake effect snow showers for Door County through late this afternoon. Fresh accumulations of a couple inches, with locally higher amounts possible where snow showers are most persistent. - Patchy light snow and flurries return all areas late tonight through the Tuesday morning commute. - Warming trend rest of week. Highs edge back above normal Thursday through Saturday. - Rain with gusty winds this weekend. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 346 AM CST Mon Nov 10 2025 Lake effect snow remains the main focus for one more day. Center of anomalously deep/cold upper low is over southern Lake Michigan, spurring on intense lake bands into far southeast WI into the Chicagoland area this morning. Though farther removed from this activity, setup is still very favorable for locally vigorous lake effect bands into northern Lake Michigan and still up into central Upper Michigan and Lake Superior as well. Soundings into northern Lake Michigan indicate that lake EQLs over 15kft don`t cease until later this evening, so we`ll still be dealing with the lake effect in Door County. Early this morning, decent convergence band set up with radar algorithm pointing to snowfall rates up to 1"/hr. In the last hour as 925-850mb winds veered more northerly, the band has shifted to the east of Door County and weakened. Similar to yesterday though, though not as strong intensity, do expect snow bands to reform through the morning especially over northern Door County as plumes of lake effect and moisture off Lake Superior translate across the bay and Door County, enhancing snow showers. Manually bumped up QPF/snow, with a hint from max HREF members (as nothing else showed it, nor did they yesterday either). A few more inches could occur through the day, with locally higher amounts possible far northern Door, toward Washington Island. Seems a good "floor" for additional snow amounts in northern Door into this afternoon is around 2 inches. Winter Weather Advisory issued until 6 PM tonight. Winds shifting northwest will bring light lake effect into Vilas County as this event thus far has hit areas farther west and farther north. However, lowering inversions and less lift/moisture in the DGZ will limit additional snowfall to maybe up to 1 inch. No plans to extend Winter Weather Advisory past 6 AM this morning for Vilas County. Otherwise, another cool day expected with highs mainly in the 30s and a few flurries at times in general NW to N flow across the area. A lull this evening, then as winds aloft back southwest, warm air advection aloft kicks in. Soundings show saturation aloft west to east after midnight. Some dry air in lowest 5kft. Envision some flurries or maybe a light dusting of snow working across the area. Some of this light snow may still be around for the morning commute on Tuesday over eastern WI, including the Fox Valley. Even with that timing, light nature of the snow in terms of accumulation and visibility, don`t foresee much in the way of impacts. Any light snow exits by mid morning, allowing highs to reach upper 30s to lower 40s. Southwest winds could be gusty over eastern WI, though more significant gusts over 30 mph appear unlikely. Rest of the week into the weekend...Light lake effect snow, maybe even mixed with drizzle at times owing to marginally cold airmass by that time occurs Tuesday night into Wednesday far north- central. Bulk of this light lake effect will be over Upper Michigan with NW wind direction. Warming trend continues overall with highs back into lower 50s by Thu/Fri and even mid 50s possible on Saturday. These warmer temps are ahead of a stronger northern stream shortwave trough and sfc low. Eventually some rain and wind could arrive over the region later in the weekend as this system moves through. NBM/LREF in agreement that probabilities highest for rain are Saturday night into Sunday. Both these forecast systems also suggest rain amounts of 0.25-0.50 inch could be in store. && .AVIATION...for 12Z TAF Issuance Issued at 555 AM CST Mon Nov 10 2025 Lake effect snow showers will linger today over the snowbelts in the north-central WI and across Door County. A passing flurry will occur elsewhere. Except for MVFR cigs and vsby at times (briefly IFR in Door County) where the lake effect is ongoing, conditions will be VFR through tonight. After lake effect ends this evening, light snow and flurries will spread across the region after midnight, arriving into eastern WI around daybreak Tuesday. Northwest winds increase by late this morning, continuing through the afternoon with gusts of 20-25 knots. Winds diminish this evening, then become light southwest overnight. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Winter Weather Advisory until 6 PM CST this evening for WIZ022. && $$ UPDATE.........MPC DISCUSSION.....JLA AVIATION.......JLA
