A BLIZZARD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT CST TONIGHT.
A WIND CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 12 PM CST
WEDNESDAY. 

STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS WITH GUSTS OF 35 TO 45 MPH WILL CAUSE
CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW...REDUCING VISIBILITIES TO
1/4 MILE OR LESS AT TIMES. THESE WHITE-OUT CONDITIONS WILL START
TO IMPROVE BY 7 PM OR 8 PM. IN ADDITION...THE STRONG WINDS WILL
COUPLE WITH PLUMMETING TEMPERATURES TO PRODUCE WIND CHILLS AROUND
35 BELOW TONIGHT.

A BLIZZARD WARNING MEANS SEVERE WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. FALLING AND BLOWING SNOW WITH STRONG WINDS
AND POOR VISIBILITIES ARE LIKELY. THIS WILL LEAD TO WHITEOUT
CONDITIONS...MAKING TRAVEL EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. DO NOT TRAVEL. IF
YOU MUST TRAVEL...HAVE A WINTER SURVIVAL KIT WITH YOU. IF YOU GET
STRANDED...STAY WITH YOUR VEHICLE.

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
330 PM CST MON JAN 28 2008

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT

FORECAST CONCERNS THIS PACKAGE...ARCTIC COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE/WIND/
SNOW THREATS AND WINTER WEATHER HEADLINES TUE/TUE NIGHT...
TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD.

SURFACE ANALYSIS AT 18Z HAD A STRONG BUT BROAD AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
FROM NORTHWEST MN TO WESTERN SD AND CENTRAL WY. BROAD AREA OF 3HR
PRESSURE FALLS OF 3 TO 5 MB ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS/UPPER MS
VALLEY AHEAD OF THE LOW. TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT AND BRISK SOUTH
WINDS AHEAD OF THE LOW WERE PULLING A MILD AIRMASS NORTHWARD ACROSS
MN/IA/WI...WITH EARLY AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 30S-MID 40S
ACROSS MUCH OF MN/WI AND IN THE 40S-LOW 50S ACROSS IA. ARCTIC COLD
FRONT WITH THE LOW EXTENDED FROM NEAR LK WINNIPEG TO NORTHWEST SD
AND WY/MT BORDER. TEMPS DROP SOME 20F TO 30F DEGREES ONCE THE ARCTIC
FRONT MOVES THRU...WITH TEMPS NEAR OR BELOW ZERO ACROSS MUCH OF MT
AND POINTS TO THE NORTH. RAIN AHEAD OF THE LOW TODAY MAINLY CONFINED
TO CENTRAL IL ON NOSE OF BETTER 850MB MOISTURE TRANSPORT.

NO MAJOR ERRORS NOTED WITH 28/12Z NAM/GFS INITIALIZATIONS...WITH
PERHAPS A SLIGHT EDGE TO NAM WITH 850-700MB THERMAL FIELDS ACROSS
THE CENTRAL CONUS. MODEL SOLUTIONS NOT WITHOUT THEIR DIFFERENCES
THIS CYCLE...EVEN EARLY ON...WHICH HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE
FORECAST ALREADY FOR TUE/TUE NIGHT. SOLUTIONS MORE SIMILAR FOR WED
INTO THU NIGHT WITH MINOR DIFFERENCES HAVING LESSER IMPACTS ON THE
FORECAST. DPROG/DT OF 500MB HGTS AT 28/12Z SHOWED NAM/GFS RUNS OF
26/12Z AND 27/12Z VERIFIED REASONABLY WELL ACROSS NOAM...BUT WERE A
BIT WEAK WITH THE ENERGY INTO CA. GFS OFFERED THE BETTER RUN-TO-RUN
CONSISTENCY AND VERIFIED BETTER WITH THE UPPER LOW OFF THE EAST
COAST. THRU 36HRS TREND IS SLOWER/STRONGER WITH THE STRONG TROUGH/
ENERGY INTO THE CENTRAL CONUS WITH GFS CONTINUING TO SHOW A BIT
BETTER RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY. TREND REMAINS SLOWER IN THE 36-60HR
TIMEFRAME AS THIS ENERGY LIFTS INTO EASTERN CAN. FOR 60-84HRS TREND
IS FASTER WITH THE NEXT TROUGH/ENERGY INTO THE LOWER/MID MS VALLEY
AND WITH THE NEXT TROUGH ONTO THE WEST COAST. CHECK OF OBS VS. MODEL
DATA AT 18Z SHOWED A BLEND OF NAM/GFS LOOKING BEST WITH THE SFC MASS
FIELDS ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS. PER WV IMAGERY...A BLEND OF NAM/GFS
ALSO LOOKED BEST WITH THE SHORTWAVE DETAILS OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF
THE CONUS...AS GFS LOOKED TOO STRONG WITH ITS ID TO NV SHORTWAVE
WHILE NAM LOOKED A BIT WEAK WITH THE ENERGY IN THE BASE OF THE
TROUGH. ALL THINGS CONSIDERED...INCLUDING DYNAMIC NATURE OF SYSTEM
TO CROSS THE REGION TUE...GENERALLY FAVORED THE HIGHER RESOLUTION
MODEL SOLUTIONS WHICH IN ALL LIKELIHOOD CAPTURE SOME OF THE THERMAL
DETAILS/GRADIENTS BETTER. HOWEVER...GIVEN NAM/GFS DIFFERENCES FOR
TUE...FORECAST CONFIDENCE AVERAGE THIS CYCLE.

IN THE SHORT TERM...SOUTHERLY FLOW CONTINUES ACROSS THE AREA FOR A
MILD NIGHT TONIGHT. MODEL SOUNDINGS AND X-SECTIONS INDICATE MOISTURE
IN THE 850-600MB LAYER REMAINS RATHER LIMITED TONIGHT. MODEL
CONSENSUS PUSHES THE ARCTIC FRONT ACROSS THE AREA IN THE 09Z-13Z
TIME-FRAME TUE MORNING. SOUNDINGS SHOW AIRMASS QUICKLY COOLS FOR
PRECIP TYPE FROM RAIN TO SNOW DURING THIS TIME-FRAME. WITH THE
LIMITED MOISTURE...LEFT POPS TONIGHT IN CHANCE RANGE AND TRENDED
CHANGE FROM -RA TO -SN MORE INTO THE OVERNIGHT/EARLY MORNING HOURS.
AS FRONT GOES THRU VERY TIGHT SFC-700MB THERMAL GRADIENT/BAROCLINIC
ZONE SETS UP ACROSS THE AREA FOR TUE. THIS AS THE STRONG SHORTWAVE
LIFTS NORTHEAST...THE UPPER TROUGH BECOMES NEGATIVELY TILTED AND
STRONG DIVERGENCE/DIFFLUENCE ALOFT SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA. HIGHER
RESOLUTION MODELS...NAM...4KM NCEP WRF/HIRES THREAT RUNS ALL DEEPEN
THE SFC LOW VERY RAPIDLY TUE...LIFTING IT FROM MO TO NORTHERN LOWER
MI BY TUE EVENING. STRONG DYNAMICS ALOFT COMBINED WITH RATHER
IMPRESSIVE 850-700MB FN CONVERGENCE WITH NEAR NEUTRAL STABILITY
ABOVE IT ON TUE AS THE LOW DEEPENS AS IT PASSES TO OUR EAST/SOUTH.
POTENTIAL REMAINS FOR A BAND OF MDT/HEAVY SNOW TO TRANSLATE ACROSS
MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA ON TUE. SREF PROBABILITIES CONTINUE TO
INDICATE POTENTIAL FOR SNOW RATES OF 1 TO 2 INCHES/HR IN THIS
STRONGLY FORCED SNOW BAND. THIS SNOW FALLING AS PRESSURE GRADIENT
TIGHTENS RAPIDLY AROUND THE DEEPENING LOW. STRONG PRESSURE RISES/
SUBSIDENCE AND FALLING TEMPS BEHIND THE ARCTIC FRONT PROMISING TO
GENERATE NORTHWEST WINDS OF 25 TO 35MPH GUSTING TO 45MPH ACROSS MUCH
OF THE AREA BY TUE AFTERNOON. GIVEN POTENTIAL FOR LOW VSBYS IN
SNOW/BLOWING SNOW AND DANGEROUS NATURE OF THE COMBINATION OF THE
SNOW/WIND/COLD...ISSUED A WINTER STORM WATCH EARLIER FOR THE ENTIRE
AREA FOR MAINLY TUE AFTERNOON/EVENING. WINDS REMAIN STRONG TUE NIGHT
WITH TEMPS FALLING WELL BELOW ZERO. WILL LIKELY NEED A WIND CHILL
ADVISORY OR WARNING FOR TUE NIGHT INTO WED MORNING. DID NOT ISSUE
THIS FOR NOW TO KEEP THINGS SIMPLE AND FOCUS ON SNOW/WIND THREATS
TUE INTO TUE EVENING. PLAN IS TO DETAIL/TRANSITION THIS WITH LATER
SHIFTS ONCE SNOW PORTION OF SYSTEM IS BEHIND US. QUIET WED AS ARCTIC
HIGHS PRESSURE SLIDES ACROSS THE AREA. WEAK SHORTWAVE AND SOME 925-
700MB WARM ADVECTION SLIDE ACROSS THE AREA WED NIGHT INTO THU AND
CONTINUED SMALL -SN CHANCES THESE PERIODS. A SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM
IS STILL POISED TO LIFT FROM THE LOWER MS VALLEY INTO THE OH VALLEY
THU NIGHT. SYSTEM MAY BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO SPREAD SOME SNOW INTO
MAINLY THE SOUTHEAST END OF THE FORECAST AREA STARTING THU NIGHT...
THUS CONTINUED SMALL -SN CHANCES THU NIGHT.

WITH FRONT PUSHING THRU AROUND 12Z...GENERALLY FAVORED MID-RANGE GFS
MAV-MOS LOWS/HIGHS TONIGHT/TUE. WITH COLD AIRMASS CURRENTLY OVER
MT/ALB/SASKAT...LOWS FAVORING COLDER NAM MET-MOS LOWS LOOK GOOD TUE
NIGHT AND BLEND WELL WITH NEIGHBORING GRIDS. FAVORED COLDER OF
GUIDANCE HIGHS WED. WITH CLOUDS EXPECTED WED NIGHT...FAVORED A
BLEND OF GUIDANCE LOWS. USED A BLEND OF GFS MEX/ENSEMBLE MOS AND
HPC GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS THU...THEN FAVORED COOLER GFS ENSEMBLE MOS
LOWS THU NIGHT.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY

ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN CONTINUES IN THE FRI-MON PERIOD...WITH 28/00Z
GFS/ECMWF OFFERING RATHER SIMILAR SOLUTIONS. ECMWF SHOWS THE BETTER
RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY WITH ITS 27/00Z RUN IN THE FRI/SAT TIME-
FRAME. THE SLOWER SOLUTION WITH THE STRONG SHORTWAVE INTO THE OH
VALLEY GETS SUPPORT FROM UKMET/CAN GEM AND 26/00Z GFS. FOR SUN-MON
GFS SHOWS THE BETTER RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY AS THE NEXT LARGE TROUGH
DIGS INTO THE WESTERN CONUS AND SIMILAR TO ITS ENSEMBLE MEAN.
HOWEVER...28/06Z-12Z GFS RUNS DID TREND TOWARD THE 28/00Z ECMWF IN
THE SUN/MON PERIOD. DESPITE REASONABLY GOOD MODEL CONSENSUS WITH THE
LARGER SCALE FEATURES...FORECAST CONFIDENCE IN THE DAY 4-7 PERIOD
ONLY AVERAGE AT BEST DUE TO DEPENDENCE OF FORECAST ON TIMING/
STRENGTH DETAILS OF SMALLER SCALE FEATURES TO IMPACT THE AREA.
MODELS CONTINUE TO TREND WEST/NORTH WITH THE SYSTEM TRACKING THRU
THE MID MS VALLEY INTO THE OH VALLEY FRI. WITH ECMWF SHOWING THE
BETTER CONSISTENCY THIS TIME-FRAME...FAVORED ITS SOLUTION AND RAISED
-SN CHANCES CENTERED ON FRI. WITH INCREASING CONSISTENCY FOR A
STRONGER NORTHERN STREAM WAVE TO CROSS THE AREA SAT...ADDED SMALL
-SN CHANCE. CONTINUED DRY WEATHER SUN WITH SHORTWAVE RIDGING AT THE
SFC/ALOFT TO SLIDE ACROSS THE AREA. NEXT STRONG WESTERN CONUS TROUGH
STARTS TO EJECT ENERGY TOWARD THE AREA MON AND ADDED SNOW CHANCE TO
MON. LOWER LEVEL THERMAL FIELDS INDICATING SOME POTENTIAL FOR MIXED
PRECIP TYPES ON MON...BUT PLENTY OF TIME FOR MODELS TO TREND
FASTER/SLOWER...NORTH OR SOUTH WITH THIS SYSTEM AND MESO-SCALE
DETAILS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THUS LEFT MON PRECIP THREAT AS
SNOW FOR NOW. GENERALLY FAVORED A BLEND OF GFS MEX/ENSEMBLE MOS AND
HPC GUIDANCE THRU THE PERIOD.

.AVIATION...TONIGHT AND TUESDAY

ALL EYES FOCUSED ON THE POTENT ARCTIC SURGE HEADED THIS WAY. PRIMARY
IMPACTS TO AVIATION WILL FIRST BE SEEN AFTER 12Z TOMORROW...WHEN
COLD FRONT PASSES. UNTIL THEN...MAINLY MID LEVEL CLOUDS AND PERHAPS
SOME PATCHES OF HAZE DUE TO MELTING SNOW TODAY INCREASING BOUNDARY
LAYER MOISTURE.

AFTER FRONTAL PASSAGE...WINDS TURN TO THE NORTHWEST AND REALLY CRANK
UP. STRONG PRESSURE RISE TO BE SEEN...RESULTING IN GUSTY WINDS...
SUSTAINED 20 TO 25 KTS WITH GUSTS NEAR 35 KTS LIKELY. COULD BE
HIGHER...LATER SHIFTS WILL HAVE TO WATCH THIS. LOW CEILINGS IN MVFR
RANGE SHOULD ARRIVE WITHIN A FEW HOURS OF THE FRONT...EVENTUALLY
DROPPING TO IFR/LIFR AS SNOW BEGINS. WITH DEEPENING SYSTEM MOVING
INTO THE AREA UNDER NEGATIVELY TILTED TROUGH ALOFT...NOT SURE JUST
HOW MUCH SNOW WILL FALL. FOR KRST...BEST GUESS IS AROUND 2 INCHES.
FOR KLSE AND POINTS EAST...AMOUNTS LOOK TO BE HIGHER.  NO MATTER HOW
MUCH...STRONG WIND GUSTS WILL RESULTS IN SOME BLOWING/DRIFTING
CONCERNS...REDUCING VISIBILITY AND STOPPING DISTANCE...NOT TO
MENTION TURBULENCE.

SNOW SHOULD TAPER OR END BY SUNSET...WITH WINDS SLOWLY DIMINISHING
AS WELL. LATER PORTIONS OF TAF WILL ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE THESE TRENDS.

200 PM CST MON JAN 28 2008

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

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

FALLING TEMPERATURES...ACCUMULATING SNOW...BLOWING SNOW...AND STRONG
WINDS WILL ACCOMPANY A POWERFUL ARCTIC COLD FRONT WHICH WILL SURGE
ACROSS THE TRI-STATE REGION BEGINNING EARLY TUESDAY MORNING IN THE
INTERSTATE 35 CORRIDOR...INTO CENTRAL WISCONSIN BY EARLY AFTERNOON.

IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT...TEMPERATURES WILL PLUMMET FROM THE UPPER
20S AND 30S INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE AND BELOW ZERO BY TUESDAY
EVENING...AND WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 20 TO 30 MPH WITH GUSTS PAST
40 MPH. THIS WILL CAUSE WIND CHILLS TO FALL INTO THE 20S AND 30S
BELOW ZERO FROM TUESDAY AFTERNOON...INTO TUESDAY NIGHT.

A BRIEF PERIOD OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW IS POSSIBLE IN THE WAKE OF
THE FRONT TUESDAY MORNING AND AFTERNOON...WITH ACCUMULATION
POTENTIAL OF 2 TO 6 INCHES. COMBINED WITH THE STRONG WINDS...
BLOWING SNOW AND LOW VISIBILITIES APPEAR LIKELY...WITH THE POTENTIAL
FOR WHITEOUT CONDITIONS IN THE MOST WIND PRONE AREAS.

THE COMBINATION OF THESE WINTER WEATHER ELEMENTS ADDS UP TO A
POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS WINTER WEATHER SITUATION FOR ALL AREAS
BEGINNING TUESDAY MORNING AND CONTINUING INTO THE EVENING. PERSONS
LEAVING THE HOUSE IN THE MORNING...WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE 30S...
MAY NOT BE PREPARED FOR THE SIGNIFICANT COLD THAT WILL BE SEEN AS
