AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREEN BAY WI

353 AM CDT SAT MAR 20 2010



.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SUNDAY



QUIET PATTERN FOR NEXT TWO DAYS AS MUCH OF THE ACTION OVER U.S.

TIED UP IN SHORT WAVE NOW ENTERING THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. BACKDOOR

COLD FRONT...HASTENED THE EXIT OF PCPN OVER FAR SOUTHERN CWA WITH 

DRIER AIR PUSHING IN BEHIND THE FRONT. DEW POINTS HAVE DROPPED

INTO THE TEENS THROUGHOUT THE CWA. HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD IN OVER

STATE TODAY WITH A GENERAL DECREASE IN CLOUDS EXPECTED. CLEARING

ALREADY INTO NORTHWEST WI. MAIN CHANGE TO PREVIOUS GRIDS WAS TO

SPEED UP CLEARING. WILL LINGER SOME LOW CLOUDS FAR NORTH INTO THE

AFTERNOON...UNTIL WINDS BACK TO THE WEST...NEGATING LAKE INFLUENCE.



SUNSHINE TODAY SHOULD ALLOW FOR TEMPS TO REBOUND TO SEASONAL NORMS...ESPECIALLY

NORTH CENTRAL...CENTRAL LOCATIONS. GIVEN RECENT TRENDS HAVE LEANED

TOWARDS WARMER GUIDANCE FOR MAX TEMPS TODAY AND SUNDAY.



.LONG TERM...SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY. 



MODELS CONTINUED TO BE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THEIR FORECAST

OF THE UPPER AIR PATTERN FOR MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. SYSTEMS IN THE

SOUTHERN BRANCH FLOW ALOFT WERE NOT FORECAST TO BRING ANY

SIGNIFICANT WEATHER TO THE AREA. A PASSING COLD FRONT AND SHORT

WAVE IN THE NORTHERN BRANCH FLOW ALOFT COULD BRING SOME RAIN...AND

POSSIBLY SOME SNOW...TO THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY

MORNING. OTHER THAN THAT...THE WEATHER SHOULD BE QUIET NEXT WEEK.



FORECAST TEMPERATURES LOOKED REASONABLE SO ONLY MINOR CHANGES WERE

MADE TO THEM.

&&



.AVIATION...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED OVER REGION WITH GENERAL

DECREASE IN CLOUDS AS HIGH PRESSURE MOVES OVER STATE.

&&



.GRB WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

NONE.
