000 FXUS63 KGRB 211735 AFDGRB Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Green Bay WI 1135 AM CST Fri Nov 21 2025 Updated aviation portion for 18Z TAF issuance .KEY MESSAGES... - Quiet with moderating temperatures into early next week. Precipitation chances return late Monday through Tuesday. - Windy and turning colder with snow showers possible Tuesday night into Thursday. && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 319 AM CST Fri Nov 21 2025 A weak cold front was moving through the southern part of the forecast area early this morning, accompanied only by a narrow band of low clouds. Temperatures were in the 20s northwest and 30s elsewhere. Mainly dry weather is anticipated from tonight through Monday morning. High pressure will reside over the forecast area today and tonight, and again late Saturday night through Monday morning. In between, a weak frontal system will move through the region on Saturday. WAA, mid-level FGEN and a weak short-wave trough may generate enough saturation for a scattered light mix of rain/snow near the WI/Upper MI border between 15z-21z/Sat. Rest of the forecast: The remnants of a Southwest U.S. upper low will lift northeast toward the Great Lakes, bringing widespread light rain Monday afternoon into Tuesday. A strong upper trough or upper low over the Northern Plains will then shift northeast toward Lake Superior, bringing a mix of rain/snow Tuesday night into Wednesday, and a chance of snow showers Wednesday night into Thursday. The best chance of accumulating snow appears to be over far north central WI, though amounts could vary significantly, depending on whether wind trajectories are west or northwest. Northwest flow will be much more favorable for lake-effect, especially in far north central WI/Vilas County. As this system pulls out to the northeast, gusty west to northwest winds will develop, with possible gales developing on Lake Michigan. Temperatures: Normal to above normal temperatures are expected through early next week, with a trend toward much below normal readings mid to late week. && .AVIATION...for 18Z TAF Issuance Issued at 1125 AM CST Fri Nov 21 2025 MVFR CIGS across the north should clear out by 21-23z this afternoon. Otherwise, a few gusts to around 15 knots are possible across east-central WI through 22z before subsiding quickly towards sunset. Otherwise, light northwest winds will become light and variable later tonight, then turn south Saturday morning with increasing gustiness in the late morning and afternoon. Wind gusts to around 25 mph are possible in spots with HREF probabilities between 40-70%. Of interest, the probabilities of these wind gusts increase Saturday night, thus there will be a period of gusty surface winds during this period as well. && .GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... None. && $$ DISCUSSION.....Kieckbusch AVIATION.......Eckberg
