A WIND CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON CST TODAY. 

THE COMBINATION OF TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM 0 TO MINUS 5 AND
NORTHWEST WINDS IN THE 10 TO 15 MPH RANGE WILL PRODUCE WIND CHILLS
IN THE MINUS 15 TO MINUS 30 RANGE THIS MORNING. 

A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MEANS THAT VERY COLD AIR AND STRONG WINDS
WILL COMBINE TO GENERATE LOW WIND CHILLS. THIS WILL RESULT IN
FROST BITE AND LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA IF PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN.
IF YOU MUST VENTURE OUTDOORS...MAKE SURE YOU WEAR A HAT AND
GLOVES.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
859 PM CST MON FEB 18 2008

.UPDATE...
MAIN UPDATE WAS TO MOVE CURRENT FLURRY/VERY LIGHT SNOW ACTION OUT
OF THE FORECAST WITH VERY LITTLE HITTING THE GROUND NOW PER
OBSERVATION NETWORK IN WRN WISCONSIN. CLEARED THINGS OUT IN THE
GRIDS AFTER MIDNIGHT INTO MUCH OF TUES MORNING BEFORE NEXT WAVE
WITH AMPLE LIFT BUT LESS MOISTURE MOVES ACROSS THE AREA. DESPITE
MEAGER MOISTURE IN ARCTIC AIRMASS...ENOUGH FORCING AND A
CONSISTENT ENOUGH QPF SIGNAL IN RECENT NAM-WRFS/GFS/SREFS RUNS TO
WARRANT LOW-END LIKELY POPS IN NERN IOWA WHERE UP TO AN INCH OF
SNOW MAY FALL. THIS MAY ALSO EXPAND INTO SERN MN DURING THE
AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING...SO FUTURE SHIFTS WILL NEED TO WATCH. A
LITTLE BURST OF WIND WILL HAMPER THE ONGOING DRIFTING SNOW
ISSUES...AND IF A LITTLE POWDER FALLS...COULD SEE SOME PRETTY GOOD
BLOWING SNOW/DRIFTING AGAIN TOMORROW NIGHT. PER PREVIOUS SPECIAL
WEATHER STATEMENT...ROAD CONDITIONS IN FORECAST AREA...ESPECIALLY
WEST OF THE MS RIVER...STILL VERY POOR. WIND CHILLS TONIGHT
BORDERLINE FOR AN ADVISORY...WILL LIKELY SEE WINDS PULL BACK
THROUGH THE REST OF THE NIGHT AND BE OFFSET BY A PRETTY GOOD
TEMPERATURE DROP. MID SHIFT CAN ISSUE FOR THE MORNING
COMMUTE/SCHOOLS IF THINGS WORSEN BEYOND CURRENT
EXPECTATIONS...WHICH IS WIDESPREAD 15 TO 20 BELOW AND FEW WIND
PRONE SITES TO -25.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 230 PM CST MON FEB 18 2008/

SHORT TERM...THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT

MAIN CONCERN IS WITH THE SNOW CHANCES THROUGH THE PERIOD AS
SEVERAL DISTURBANCES COME ACROSS THE AREA.

SURFACE ANALYSIS THIS AFTERNOON A COUPLE WEAK TROUGHS OF LOW
PRESSURE ROTATING ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST. LOCAL AND REGIONAL
RADARS SHOW SNOW SHOWERS FALLING OVER A GOOD SHARE OF THE NORTHERN
HALF OF WISCONSIN.

SNOW SHOWERS TODAY ARE IN ASSOCIATION WITH A PRETTY DECENT SHORT
WAVE TROUGH CURRENTLY COMING ACROSS EASTERN MINNESOTA. THIS WAVE
WILL CONTINUE TO PIVOT SOUTHEAST AND WILL BE PAST THE AREA THIS
EVENING. QG CONVERGENCE WITH THIS WAVE RAPIDLY DECREASES AFTER 00Z
BUT UPPER LEVEL CYCLONIC FLOW AND COLD POOL ALOFT REMAINS OVER THE
REGION. BUFKIT SOUNDINGS FOR THE CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE STAY
AROUND 7 TO 8 C/KM THROUGH 06Z. INITIAL FEELING IS THAT THE SNOW
SHOWERS WILL RAPIDLY DISSIPATE BEFORE 03Z BUT COULD SEE SOME HOLD
ON THROUGH 06Z UNTIL THE LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY DISSIPATES.

THE NEXT SHORT WAVE TROUGH DROPPING INTO THE MEAN LONG WAVE TROUGH
WILL COME ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT.
VERY SIMILAR CONDITIONS TO THE WAVE TODAY WITH MODERATE TO STRONG
QG CONVERGENCE AND AROUND 3 MICROBARS/S OF UPGLIDE ON THE 275K
ISENTROPIC SURFACE. HOWEVER...LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE NOT
EXPECTED TO BE QUITE AS GOOD SO COVERAGE OF THE SNOW SHOWERS MAY
BE AS MUCH AS TODAY. WILL MAINTAIN THE CHANCE POPS WITH THIS
FEATURE FOR THE AFTERNOON AND EXPANDED THE POPS BACK FARTHER TO
THE WEST TUESDAY EVENING. AFTER THAT...WILL REMAIN IN THE NORTH TO
NORTHWEST FLOW THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT BUT NO SHORT WAVE TROUGHS
ARE EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING INTO THE REGION.

LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY

NOT A LOT OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE OPERATIONAL 18.06Z GFS AND THE
18.00Z ECMWF THROUGH THE PERIOD. BOTH MODELS AGREE THAT A NORTHERN
STREAM SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL BE DROPPING SOUTH THROUGH THE UPPER
MIDWEST EARLY IN THE PERIOD. DIFFERENCE EXIST AS TO THE POSITION OF
THE SURFACE LOW COMING UP INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. THE GFS IS FARTHER
NORTH WITH THIS FEATURE THAN THE ECMWF AND THE 18.00Z GFS MEAN
ENSEMBLE. WITH THE ECMWF AND GFS ENSEMBLES IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT
HAVE STAYED WITH THE DRY FORECAST FOR THURSDAY AND ALSO REMOVED THE
POPS FOR FRIDAY AS THE LOW AND ASSOCIATED PRECIPITATION EXPECTED TO
STAY SOUTH OF THE AREA. MORE DISAGREEMENTS TOWARD THE END OF THE
PERIOD WITH THE NEXT SYSTEM COMING OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST. THE GFS IS
CONSIDERABLY STRONGER THAN THE ECMWF AND THROWS A LOT MORE QPF ON
THE AREA. THE ECMWF DOES SHOW A SYSTEM COMING OUT AS WELL SO WILL
INCLUDE SOME CHANCE POPS IN THE END OF THE PERIOD.

AVIATION...

AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL BE ROTATING SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE
AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING PRODUCING SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SNOW
SHOWERS. IN ADDITION.. A TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT IN PLACE ACROSS THE
AREA WILL PRODUCE GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS GOING INTO THIS EVENING WITH
AREAS OF BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW. THIS WILL BE ESPECIALLY TRUE ACROSS
THE HIGHER TERRAIN AND OPEN AREAS OF SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA...INCLUDING
THE KRST TAF SITE WHERE VSBY WILL BE REDUCED TO A MILE AT TIMES.
OTHERWISE...CLOUD CEILING ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN MVFR CATEGORY.
ONCE THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE PASSES THROUGH THE AREA LATER THIS
EVENING...THE SNOW SHOWERS WILL DIMINISH AS WILL THE WINDS AND AREAS
OF BLOWING SNOW. A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL HELP TO SCATTER
CLOUDS BY EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. LOOKING FURTHER...A CHANCE OF -SN
WILL RETURN TO THE AREA TUESDAY AFTERNOON AS ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCE ROTATES ACROSS THE AREA.
