OF ICE STILL ON TREES AND POWER LINES FROM THE PREVIOUS STORM.
FURTHER POWER OUTAGES ACROSS THE AREA WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE
ONSET OF THIS NEXT ROUND OF WIND AND PRECIPITATION.

...FIRST PORTION OF DANGEROUS WINTER STORM NOW UPON US...

.SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO SPREAD ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHEASTERN
MINNESOTA AND SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN THIS EVENING...WITH
PRECIPITATION ACROSS NORTHEAST IOWA TO SLOWLY DECREASE AND BECOME
A MIX OF LIGHT SNOW...AND LIGHT FREEZING DRIZZLE. SNOWFALL
ACCUMULATIONS ALONG AND NORTH OF AN OSAGE TO CALEDONIA TO MAUSTON
LINE THIS EVENING WILL LIKELY RANGE FROM 1 TO 3 INCHES...WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS THANKS TO SOME ISOLATED THUNDER SNOW. AS
THE EVENING WEARS ON...THE SNOW WILL PUSH FURTHER NORTH AND
EAST AND OUT OF THE AREA...WITH AREAS OF DRIZZLE OR FREEZING
DRIZZLE BECOMING THE PREDOMINANT PRECIPITATION TYPE AFTER
MIDNIGHT. ICE ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BE VERY LIGHT...MAINLY
LESS THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH IN MOST AREAS. SOME BLOWING SNOW IN
OPEN AREAS WILL ALSO CAUSE REDUCED VISIBILITIES...AND TREACHEROUS
TRAVEL IS ANTICIPATED ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA THROUGH THE
NIGHT...FROM THIS WINTRY MESS OF MIXED PRECIPITATION. 

THE STRONGEST PART OF THE DANGEROUS WINTER STORM WILL SURGE INTO
NORTHEAST IOWA DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS ON THURSDAY...WITH
PRECIPITATION BECOMING HEAVY AT TIMES...SPREADING NORTH OVER MUCH
OF THE AREA THROUGH THE DAY. ENOUGH WARM AIR WILL BE IN PLACE TO
ALLOW FOR A MIX OF FREEZING RAIN OR RAIN OVER MOST OF NORTHEASTERN
IOWA INTO PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN. FURTHER TO THE
NORTH...FROM CHARLES CITY AND AUSTIN THROUGH LA CROSSE TO
MAUSTON...A MIX OF SLEET...FREEZING RAIN...AND RAIN WILL OCCUR AS
THE HEAVY PRECIPITATION MOVES NORTH INTO THE AREA THROUGH THE DAY.
SIGNIFICANT ICE ACCUMULATIONS WILL OCCUR IN PARTS OF THIS
CORRIDOR. FROM THE DODGE CENTER AND ROCHESTER AREAS THROUGH LAKE
CITY TO NEILLSVILLE AND MEDFORD...SLEET AND SNOW WILL OCCUR...WITH

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
315 PM CST TUE FEB 27 2007

.SHORT TERM...THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT

PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERN REMAINS FOCUSED ON POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER
HIGH IMPACT WINTER STORM TO AFFECT THE AREA WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
MAIN ISSUES WITH THIS STORM WILL BE MUCH LIKE THOSE OF THE 23-25FEB07
WEEKEND STORM. THEREFORE...FOCUS WAS CENTERED ON POTENTIAL FOR
SIGNIFICANT SNOW AND ICE ACCUMULATIONS...ALONG WITH STRONG WINDS.
MEDIA PARTNERS...EMERGENCY MANAGERS AND AVIATION INTERESTS ARE
ADVISED TO ESPECIALLY KEEP ABREAST OF THE LATEST INFORMATION VIA
HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOKS AND WINTER WEATHER STATEMENTS.

THIS AFTERNOON...SURFACE ANALYSIS INDICATED LINGERING TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE EXTENDING FROM LOWER MICHIGAN WESTWARD ACROSS CENTRAL
PART OF WI AND INTO NORTHERN MN. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATED
VIGOROUS MID LEVEL CIRCULATION OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. UPPER AIR
AND ACARS DATA INDICATED STRONG 300MB JET STREAM OF 120-150KT
ROTATING AROUND BASE OF TROUGH. SURFACE CYCLOGENESIS EVIDENT OVER
INTERMOUNTAIN WEST AND CONFIRMED BY COMMA SHAPE CLOUD IN INFRARED
SATELLITE IMAGERY.

12Z 27FEB07 SURFACE AND UPPER LEVEL FEATURES WERE INITIALIZED WELL.
CLUSTER OF GFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS INDICATED SURFACE LOW SHOULD TRACK
FROM OK/TX PANHANDLE AREA INTO MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO NORTHERN
LAKE MICHIGAN. LATEST OPERATIONAL ECMWF AND NAM/WRF SUPPORTED A TRACK
FURTHER NORTHWEST THAN GFS ENSEMBLES...WHICH STILL LENDS SOME
UNCERTAINTY IN EXACT DETAILS...ESPECIALLY WITH RESPECT TO
PRECIPITATION TYPE. REGARDLESS OF WHICH LOW TRACK VERIFIES...CONFIDENCE
WAS HIGH ENOUGH TO UPGRADE TO WINTER STORM WARNING IN NORTHERN AND
WESTERN MOST SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. WINTER STORM WATCH WAS
EXPANDED A BIT FURTHER INTO CENTRAL WI...AS WELL AS PARTS OF
NORTHEAST IOWA.

IN SPITE OF MODEL DIFFERENCES WITH RESPECT TO TRACK OF SYSTEM...
HIGHEST PROBABILITIES OF SNOW RESIDE ACROSS NORTHERN AND WESTERN MOST
SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. ELSEWHERE...A WINTRY MIX APPEARS
PROBABLE...WITH EVEN ALL RAIN FOR A TIME IN SOUTHERN AND EASTERN
MOST PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA. OVERALL...FORECAST CONFIDENCE
REMAINS HIGH FOR POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM TO IMPACT THE
FORECAST AREA WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT...FIRST OF TWO ROUNDS OF PRECIPITATION
EXPECTED. MODELS CONTINUE TO INDICATE AN UPPER LEVEL WAVE OVER THE
DAKOTAS SHOULD CUT OFF...AS MORE ENERGY UPSTREAM IN THE BASE OF THE
UPPER LEVEL TROUGH EJECTS INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. RESULT SHOULD BE A
BROAD AND EXPANDING SHIELD OF WARM AIR ADVECTION PRECIPITATION
ADVANCING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. THIS SHOULD BE FUELED BY STRONG
850MB JET OF 50KTS...WHICH BRINGS 3-4G/KG SPECIFIC HUMIDITY VALUES
NORTHWARD. ISENTROPIC LIFT IN THE 280K-290K LAYER SUPPORTS BURSTS OF
HEAVIER PRECIPITATION...ESPECIALLY WITH POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION TO
ENHANCE PRECIPITATION RATES.

EXACT DETAILS OF LOW LEVEL TEMPERATURE STRUCTURE AND THUS
PRECIPITATION TYPE STILL A BIT OF A QUESTION MARK BASED ON
VARIABILITY IN MODELS TRACK OF SURFACE LOW. GFS STILL SUPPORTS MORE
SNOW...WHILE NAM/WRF SUGGESTS MORE FREEZING RAIN/SLEET POTENTIAL.
AT THIS TIME...INCORPORATED A COMPROMISE APPROACH WITH MIXED
PRECIPITATION ACROSS ABOUT THE SOUTH HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT. IN ADDITION...THERE WAS
ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO DEPICT ALL RAIN IN SOUTHERN MOST SECTIONS
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH WARM AIR NOSING IN AHEAD OF APPROACHING LOW.

THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT...ROUND TWO OF THIS WINTER WEATHER
EVENT SHOULD MANIFEST ITSELF...AS MAIN SYNOPTIC SCALE SYSTEM BRINGS
POTENTIALLY HEAVY PRECIPITATION. TROWAL SIGNATURE REMAINS
IMPRESSIVE...AS DOES AN INCREDIBLY CONSISTENT AND STRONG UPPER LEVEL
DIVERGENCE SIGNAL ASSOCIATED WITH COUPLED 300MB JET. DEEP LAYERED Q-G
CONVERGENCE ALSO SUGGESTS DEEP LAYERED LARGE SCALE ASCENT...WHICH
SHOULD SUPPORT A BURST OF HEAVY PRECIPITATION. CATEGORICAL VALUES
OF PRECIPITATION PROBABILITY MAINTAINED IN CURRENT DATA BASE ON
THURSDAY AND EXPANDED INTO THURSDAY NIGHT.

CONFIDENCE WAS FAIRLY HIGH THAT SNOW SHOULD BE PRIMARY PRECIPITATION
TYPE ACROSS NORTH AND WEST SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA ON THURSDAY.
CONFIDENCE NOT QUITE AS HIGH AS ONE WOULD LIKE IN EAST AND SOUTH
SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. THEREFORE...MAINTAINED A RAIN OR
SNOW SCENARIO ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST WI. AS COLDER
AIR FILTERS IN BEHIND DEPARTING STORM THURSDAY NIGHT...PRECIPITATION
SHOULD CHANGE TO ALL SNOW FAIRLY QUICKLY.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE WAS FAIRLY HIGH THAT STRONG SURFACE WINDS SHOULD
ACCOMPANY STORM SYSTEM THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. IN FACT...MODEL
PROJECTION OF DEEP SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SUGGESTS WIND GUSTS OF
40 TO 45 MPH SHOULD OCCUR...ESPECIALLY IN THE WIND PRONE AREAS OF
SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA...NORTHEAST IOWA...AND THE RIDGETOPS OF
SOUTHWEST WI. INCORPORATED THESE WIND GUSTS INTO CURRENT DATA BASE.
THESE WIND SPEEDS COULD HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS...ESPECIALLY IN
NORTH AND WEST SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA WHERE HEAVY SNOWFALL
POTENTIAL EXISTS.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

DUE TO POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER HIGH IMPACT WINTER WEATHER EVENT IN
THE SHORT TERM...DAYS 6-7...WERE GIVEN A LOW PRIORITY. HOWEVER...
CURSORY LOOK AT MEDIUM RANGE MODELS INDICATED SOME DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN ECMWF AND GFS...WHICH COULD AFFECT SENSIBLE WEATHER...
SPECIFICALLY EARLY NEXT WEEK.

BESIDES CHANCE OF SOME LIGHT SNOW LINGERING ON SATURDAY IN AFTERMATH
OF DEPARTING STORM...GFS INDICATED ANOTHER CHANCE OF SNOW ON MONDAY
INTO MONDAY NIGHT ASSOCIATED WITH COLD FRONT PASSAGE. ON THE OTHER
HAND...ECMWF HAD SURFACE RIDGE BUILDING IN. MODEL DIFFERENCES LOWER
FORECAST CONFIDENCE...THUS FOLLOWED HPC GUIDANCE AND MAINTAINED DRY
WEATHER AS IN CURRENT DATA BASE SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.

ACCUMULATION WILL BE POSSIBLE. WARMER AIR WILL BE BROUGHT NORTHWARD
OVERNIGHT THOUGH...WHICH WILL CAUSE THE PRECIPITATION TO TURN
OVER TO ALL RAIN.

ON THURSDAY MORNING...THE HEART OF THIS NEXT WINTER STORM WILL MOVE
INTO EASTERN IOWA...CONTINUING INTO NORTHERN WISCONSIN OVERNIGHT.
HOWEVER...WITH WARM AIR STILL IN PLACE...THE BULK OF THIS
PRECIPITATION SHOULD CONTINUE TO FALL AS RAIN...WITH THE BETTER
