904 AM CST FRI JAN 18 2008

...WINDS ON THE INCREASE THIS MORNING...BLOWING SNOW TO IMPACT
TRAVEL...

.A COLD FRONT WAS MOVING THROUGH SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA AND NORTHEAST
IOWA AT MID-MORNING. BEHIND THIS FRONT...NORTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO
25 MPH WITH GUSTS AROUND 30 MPH WERE FOUND ACROSS MOST OF SOUTH
CENTRAL MINNESOTA AND NORTH-CENTRAL IOWA...ALONG WITH TEMPERATURES
AT OR BELOW ZERO. THESE WIND SPEEDS...COMBINED WITH THE FRESH
SNOW...WILL LEAD TO WIDESPREAD BLOWING SNOW THIS MORNING...CONTINUING
THROUGH THE DAY. THIS WILL RE-COVER ROADS WITH SNOW AND CAUSE
DRIFTING IN OPEN AREAS. EXPECT WIDESPREAD REDUCED VISIBILITIES
BY AFTERNOON FROM THE BLOWING SNOW. THIS WILL BE ESPECIALLY
REALIZED ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND MORE OPEN WIND PRONE AREAS
ACROSS SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA AND NORTHEAST IOWA...WHERE LOCALIZED
NEAR WHITE-OUT CONDITIONS CANNOT BE RULED OUT. WITH THE FALLING
TEMPERATURES AND BRISK WINDS...EXPECT WIND CHILLS AROUND 15 BELOW
TO 20 BELOW ZERO. 

NORTHWEST WINDS WILL SLOWLY SUBSIDE THIS EVENING...REDUCING THE
BLOWING SNOW THREAT...HOWEVER...FALLING TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT
WILL COMBINE WITH THE WINDS TO PRODUCE DANGEROUSLY COLD WIND
CHILLS IN THE 25 BELOW TO 35 BELOW ZERO RANGE BY EARLY SATURDAY
MORNING ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA. WINDS OF 10 TO 15 MPH WILL CONTINUE ON
SATURDAY AS TEMPERATURES STRUGGLE INTO THE 5 BELOW TO 5 ABOVE ZERO
RANGE. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE VERY COLD WIND CHILL VALUES
IN THE 15 BELOW TO 30 BELOW ZERO RANGE.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
345 AM CST FRI JAN 18 2008

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY

FOCUS PRIMARILY ON THE COLD...WITH GUSTY WINDS AND WIND CHILL
CONCERNS.

09Z SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS LOW CENTER WHICH BROUGHT OUR SNOW
YESTERDAY WAS MOVING NORTHEAST THROUGH ONTARIO. STRONG HIGH CENTER
OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. COLD FRONT WAS MOVING QUICKLY ACROSS MN
AS AN UPPER SHORT WAVE TROUGH DROPS INTO THE MEAN LONG WAVE OVER
THE GREAT LAKES. NORTHERLY FLOW OFF THE POLAR CAP SENDING AN ARCTIC
SURGE INTO THE U.S. BEHIND THIS FRONT. LARGE PRESSURE RISES SEEN
BEHIND THE FRONT...AND WINDS WILL BE ON THE GUSTY SIDE. GUSTS
ALREADY IN THE 25 TO 35 MPH RANGE ACROSS THE EASTERN DAKOTAS AND
WESTERN MN.

00Z/06Z MODEL SOLUTIONS ALL IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE
SHORT RANGE. WHERE DIFFERENCES DO SHOW UP...LEANED TOWARD MORE
CONSISTENT GFS MODEL.

FRONT MAKING GOOD PROGRESS...AND SHOULD MOVE THROUGH THE FORECAST
AREA DURING THE MORNING. BAND OF CLOUDS WITH THE FRONT...WITH SOME
LIGHT SNOW EXPECTED. WILL MAINTAIN LIKELY WORDING...BUT IT APPEARS
THE THREAT FOR MUCH ACCUMULATION CONTINUES TO WANE. CLOUD BAND IS
ONLY A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES WIDE...AND TIME FOR ACCUMULATION IS
SHORT. LOOKING LIKE A COUPLE TENTHS AT MOST. BUT WITH ALL THE FRESH
FLUFFY POWDER THAT FELL YESTERDAY...BRISK NORTHWEST WINDS SHOULD
BLOW AND DRIFT THAT SNOW AROUND.  EVENING SHIFT ADDED BLOWING SNOW
ADVISORY FOR THE HIGHER TERRAIN AREAS OF OUR WESTERN FORECAST AREA...
AND THIS STILL LOOKING GOOD. MAY ALSO BE SOME BLOWING SNOW IN SPOTS
FURTHER EAST...ESPECIALLY RIDGE TOPS...BUT NOT WIDESPREAD ENOUGH TO
WARRANT AN ADVISORY. WARMEST TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO BE AS THE
CLOUD BLANKET MOVES OVER THE AREA...WITH HIGHS DURING THE MORNING
HOURS.  THE MERCURY THEN TAKES A NOSE-DIVE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON
UNDER STRONG COLD ADVECTION. 850 MB TEMPERATURES DROP TO -20 TO -27
RANGE BY 12Z SATURDAY...AND -22 TO -28 BY 00Z SUN.

WINDS WILL DIMINISH SOME BY EVENING...ENOUGH TO ALLOW THE BLOWING
SNOW ADVISORY TO EXPIRE I THINK. ESPECIALLY AS THE MAIN DANGER
SHIFTS TO THE BITTER WIND CHILLS. AS THE MERCURY DROPS BELOW ZERO...
THE COMBINATION OF COLD AND WINDS OF 10 TO 20 MPH WILL SEND WIND
CHILL VALUES TO -20 TO -35 OVERNIGHT.  WITH VERY LITTLE WARMUP
ANTICIPATED ON SATURDAY...WIND CHILLS REMAIN IN THE -15 TO -25 RANGE.
 SO...WILL RAISE A WIND CHILL ADVISORY FOR TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY.
BY SATURDAY NIGHT...DESPITE THE VERY COLD AIR TEMPERATURES...WIND
SPEEDS SHOULD DIMINISH ENOUGH THAT WIND CHILL ADVISORIES WILL NOT BE
NEEDED. AT LEAST...THAT IS THE PLAN.

ARCTIC RIDGE AXIS TO BE OVERHEAD SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...WITH
THE COLDEST POOL OF AIR. MAINLY CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS...ALONG
WITH FRESH SNOW COVER SHOULD ALL LEAD TO THE COLDEST NIGHT OF THE
YEAR SO FAR. LOWS IN THE TEENS AND EVEN 20S BELOW ZERO POSSIBLE.
HIGHS SUNDAY COULD MAKE IT BACK INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE...AS THE
BOUNDARY LAYER SLOWLY MODERATES WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE MAIN COLD
POOL...AND ARRIVAL OF CLOUDS FROM THE NEXT SYSTEM. BUT THIS WILL
HAVE TO BE WATCHED...THIS MAY BE OPTIMISTIC.

NEXT DISTURBANCE WILL INDUCE A SURFACE LOW ACROSS THE PLAINS ON
SUNDAY...AND THIS WILL SEND CLOUDS AND A CHANCE FOR SNOW INTO THE
SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA BY AFTERNOON...AND ACROSS MUCH
OF THE AREA SUNDAY NIGHT.  THE GREATEST CHANCE FOR ANY SNOW
ACCUMULATION WILL BE FROM CENTRAL IOWA INTO NORTHERN ILLINOIS...BUT
SOME MINOR ACCUMULATIONS COULD BE SEEN IN THE FORECAST AREA...
ESPECIALLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 90 FROM SUNDAY NIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY. DEFORMATION AXIS WITH OVERRUNNING OF THE VERY COLD
AIRMASS COULD PROVE TO BE A GOOD SNOW PRODUCER. COBB DATA
SUGGESTING 2-4 INCHES POSSIBLE...SO THIS WILL ALSO NEED TO BE
MONITORED.

TEMPERATURES TO REMAIN COLD THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH FORECAST
GRIDS AT OR BELOW MOS GUIDANCE NUMBERS THROUGH THE SHORT TERM.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY

AREA LOOKS TO REMAIN UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF NORTHERN FLOW AROUND THE
HUDSON BAY POLAR VORTEX THROUGH THE WEEK. 00Z MEDIUM RANGE MODELS
CONTINUE TO POINT TOWARD A COLD WEEK...AS REINFORCING SHOTS OF COLD
AIR INVADE THE UPPER MIDWEST. ONE PARTICULAR SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL
MOVE THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. CURRENTLY LOOKS LIKE NO
PRECIPITATION WITH THIS...BUT WILL HAVE TO MONITOR...AS ANY LIFT AT
ALL IN THIS COLD REGIME COULD LEAD TO SNOW PRODUCTION. TEMPERATURES
TO REMAIN 10 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

.AVIATION...

AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE AREA THIS MORNING. A
BAND OF -SN AND MVFR CLOUDS IS EXPECTED WITH THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...
FOLLOWED BY GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS AND CLEARING SKIES BEHIND THE
FRONT. DUE TO THE LOW MOISTURE CONTENT OF SNOWFALL TODAY AND OF THE
SNOW ON THE GROUND...BLOWING SNOW WILL BE A CONCERN THROUGH TODAY.
HAVE BROUGHT IFR VSBY RESTRICTIONS DUE TO -SN/BLSN AT KRST BETWEEN
14-24Z AND AT KLSE FROM 19-24Z. MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND GRADUAL
TAPERING OF NORTHWEST WINDS ARE EXPECTED TONIGHT AS ARCTIC AIRMASS
SETTLES INTO THE REGION.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PARTS OF NORTHEAST IOWA...
SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA...AND SOUTHWEST INTO CENTRAL WISCONSIN.

.DAY ONE...REST OF TONIGHT

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

ON FRIDAY...LIGHT SNOW...BLOWING SNOW...AND DANGEROUS WIND CHILLS BE
THE CONCERN...AS AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT PLOWS THROUGH THE AREA IN THE
MORNING. WHILE SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE AN INCH OR LESS...OF
LARGER CONCERN WILL BE THE STRONG WINDS AND ARCTIC AIR THAT WILL COME
AS THE FRONT PASSES. INCREASING NORTHWEST WINDS WILL LEAD TO BLOWING
AND DRIFTING SNOW BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON...CONTINUING INTO SATURDAY
MORNING. IN THE OPEN AREAS OF SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA AND NORTHEAST
IOWA...ALONG WITH SOME AREA RIDGE-TOPS...VISIBILITIES BELOW 1/2 MILE
AND GROUND BLIZZARD CONDITIONS COULD RESULT FOR BRIEF PERIODS FRIDAY
AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. MEANWHILE...THE ARCTIC AIRMASS WILL DROP
TEMPERATURES WELL BELOW ZERO FRIDAY NIGHT. THE COMBINATION OF THESE
TEMPERATURES WITH THE WINDS WILL RESULT IN WIND CHILLS OF 25 TO 35
BELOW FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING. MORE WEATHER ADVISORIES
WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED TO ACCOUNT FOR THESE WINTER THREATS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SNOWFALL REPORTS...AS WELL AS REPORTS OF WHITEOUT CONDITIONS ON
FRIDAY WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

.EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATION...

NO CALL IS SCHEDULED.
