706 FXUS63 KGRB 091141 AFDGRB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 641 AM CDT Thu Oct 9 2025 Updated aviation portion for 12Z TAF issuance .KEY MESSAGES... - Cold this morning, with a Frost Advisory out for counties where the growing season continues. - Moderating temperatures the rest of the week with readings at or above normal. - Showers and a few thunderstorms late tonight into Friday, along with increasing winds. - Additional rain chances next week. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 419 AM CDT Thu Oct 9 2025 Cold this morning, followed by moderating temperatures through the rest of the forecast period. One more dry day, then a more active setup starts to take shape. Temperatures...Ongoing Frost Advisory remains in effect until 14Z/9AM. Temperatures at 4AM were mainly in the middle 30s across the advisory area. Temperatures moderate after this morning, with the rest of the week expecting readings AOA normal. Overnight lows will mostly be in the 40s, with daytime highs in the upper 50s and 60s. Precipitation...Dry weather today, then opportunities for rain are on the horizon. A cold front and compact upper low bring a medium to high chance (40-60%) of rain tonight through Friday night. Coverage will initially be scattered to widespread, becoming widely scattered Friday afternoon after the surface front passes through. Isolated thunder is not out of the question due to a small bit of instability, but severe storms are not expected. Amounts will generally be around a quarter of an inch or less, with the highest forecast totals across far northern and northeast WI where NBM probabilities of at least a quarter inch range from 30-50%. High pressure builds back for most of the weekend. Then, deep troughing develops across the western CONUS late this weekend with a strong upper jet stretching from the Four Corners Region to the Great Lakes. This will help send a few different features through next week which could bring rain. First, with a cold front Sunday night into Monday, followed by a low pressure system during the midweek, but models are not set on exact timing and specifics this far out. && .AVIATION...for 12Z TAF Issuance Issued at 640 AM CDT Thu Oct 9 2025 VFR conditions are expected through the TAF period; however, the return of clouds and rain showers are expected tonight. Aside from some scattered low clouds near Door County and the lake shore, skies were clear and winds were light or calm across central and northeast Wisconsin. By mid to late morning, south winds increase a bit, with a few afternoon gusts of 15-20 knots possible, mainly for central and north-central WI. Winds increase for all locations late this evening and overnight with gusts around 20 knots. Clouds move in late this evening for central and north-central WI, and around midnight across the Fox Valley and lake shore. These will initially be mid-clouds, with bases lowering around daybreak Friday. Along with the clouds, scattered rain showers will be moving in from west to east after midnight. Cannot rule out some isolated thunder, but likelihood at any one place was too low to include in the TAF forecast. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... Frost Advisory until 9 AM CDT this morning for WIZ020-022-030- 031-035>040-045-048>050-073-074. && $$ DISCUSSION.....KLJ AVIATION.......KLJ
