AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
306 PM CDT THU MAR 20 2008

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS THIS PACKAGE...IMPENDING WINTER STORM TO
IMPACT THE AREA TONIGHT/FRIDAY...LIGHTER SNOW CHANCES FRI NIGHT AND
AGAIN SAT NIGHT/SUN...TEMPERATURES.

18Z DATA ANALYSIS HAD LOW PRESSURE CENTERED OVER SOUTHEAST WY/
EASTERN CO WITH BEST PRESSURE FALLS FROM WESTERN SD TO EASTERN KS.
WARM FRONT EXTENDED EAST FROM THE LOW ALONG THE KS/NEB...IA/MO
BOARDERS. HIGH PRESSURE WAS CENTERED OVER WESTERN ONT. WV IMAGERY
SHOWED SEVERAL PIECES OF SHORTWAVE ENERGY MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES. VIS/IR IMAGERY HAD MID/HIGH CLOUDS SPREADING/EXPANDING
EAST ACROSS THE DAKOTAS/MN/IA AHEAD OF THE SHORTWAVE ENERGY.
NORTHERN PLAINS RADARS DEPICTED AN EXPANDING AREA OF SNOW ACROSS THE
DAKOTAS. FURTHER EAST...SKIES REMAINED SUNNY ACROSS MUCH OF WI. EVEN
WITH THE SUNSHINE...TEMPS COOLER TODAY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
COOL...DRY NORTH/EAST FLOW OUT OF THE HIGH AND ACROSS THE GREAT
LAKES.

THE 20.00Z NAM/GFS LOOK TO HAVE INITIALIZED RATHER WELL...AND OFFER
VERY SIMILAR SOLUTIONS THIS CYCLE...MUCH MORE SO THAN THEIR RUNS OF
24HRS AGO. PER WV IMAGERY...SHORTWAVE INITIALIZATIONS OVER THE
CENTRAL/NORTHERN ROCKIES LEAVE A BIT TO BE DESIRED...BUT THESE
DIFFERENCES APPEAR TO HAVE LITTLE IMPACT ON THE MODEL OUTCOMES. BOTH
MODELS WERE A BIT WARM WITH 850MB TEMPS AT KABR/KMSP/KDVN. DPROG/DT
OF 500MB HGTS AT 20.12Z SHOWED GFS/NAM RUNS OF 18.12Z AND 19.12Z
VERIFIED QUITE WELL ACROSS NOAM BUT WERE ALL A BIT TO DEEP WITH THE
TROUGHING INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. THRU 36HRS...GFS OFFERS THE
BETTER RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY WITH NAM TRENDING TOWARD IT SINCE
19.12Z. FOR 36-60HRS NAM CONTINUES TO TREND TOWARD THE MORE
CONSISTENT GFS AS THE MAIN TROUGH AXIS SWINGS THRU THE REGION. FOR
60-84HRS TREND IS A BIT FASTER WITH A SECONDARY SHORTWAVE TROUGH TO
DROP SOUTH ACROSS THE REGION...WITH AGAIN 20.12Z NAM/GFS QUITE
SIMILAR. CHECK OF OBS VS. MODEL DATA AT SHOWED BOTH NAM/GFS WITH
GOOD DEPICTIONS OF THE SFC MASS FIELDS ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS. PER
WV IMAGERY...GFS LOOKED BETTER WITH THE SHORTWAVE DETAILS ACROSS
THE NORTHERN ROCKIES/PLAINS. DUE TO THIS...GFS SHOWING THE BETTER
RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY AND NAM HAVING TRENDED TOWARD IT/S EARLIER
SOLUTIONS...FAVORED GFS THIS CYCLE. HOWEVER...FAVORING ONE OVER THE
OTHER THIS CYCLE LOOKS TO HAVE MINIMAL IMPACT ON THE SENSIBLE
WEATHER FOR TONIGHT INTO SUN NIGHT. FORECAST CONFIDENCE ON THE GOOD
SIDE THIS CYCLE.

FOR THE SHORT TERM...CLOUDS/MOISTURE THICKEN/INCREASE OVER THE AREA
TONIGHT AS THE SFC LOW MOVES TO NORTH OF KANSAS CITY AND THE
SHORTWAVE ENERGY/TROUGH MOVES INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS. FORCING/
LIFT...FROM 300MB AGEOSTROPHIC FLOW/DIVERGENCE BETWEEN AT LEAST
PARTIALLY COUPLED JETS...500-200MB PV ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE TROUGH
AND RATHER IMPRESSIVE 850-600MB FN CONVERGENCE INCREASE OVER THE
AREA THROUGH THE NIGHT. THIS FORCING/LIFT REACHES ITS PEAK ACROSS
THE AREA FRI MORNING...BEFORE GRADUALLY WANING/MOVING OFF FRI
AFTERNOON/EVENING. PW VALUES INCREASE INTO 0.75 INCH RANGE EAST OF
THE SFC-805MB LOW BY FRI MORNING. ALL THINGS COMING TOGETHER FOR A
POTENT LATE WINTER/EARLY SPRING STORM TO DROP A SWATH OF HEAVY SNOW
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. X-SECTIONS INDICATE NEAR NEUTRAL/-EPV...
POTENTIALLY EVEN SOME UPRIGHT INSTABILITY IN THE MOIST AIRMASS BEING
ADVECTED NORTH AHEAD OF THE LOW/TROUGH AND INTO THE STRONG FN
CONVERGENCE ZONE. TREND OF BOTH THE FN CONVERGENCE OVER THE AREA AND
EXTEND OF -EPV NEAR/ABOVE IT IS STRONGER WITH INCREASED POTENTIAL
FOR CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS/BANDING OF THE SNOW. SNOWFALL RATES OF 1
INCH/HR OR MORE LOOKING MORE AND MORE LIKELY IN THE HEAVIEST SNOW
BAND. MUCH BETTER MODEL CONSENSUS TODAY FOR THIS HEAVY SNOW BAND
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA LATER TONIGHT/FRI. MODEL/ENSEMBLE CONSENSUS
PUTS THE AXIS OF THE BAND ROUGHLY NEAR A KRST-KMSN LINE. SNOW AMOUNT
GRADIENT LOOKS RATHER TIGHT ON BOTH THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDES OF
THE SNOW BAND...ZERO TO 6 INCHES IN AS LITTLE AS 50 MILES. THIS
DUE TO DRY...COOL AIR BATTLING SATURATION ON THE NORTH SIDE AND
TIGHT THERMAL GRADIENT TO THE SOUTH PRODUCE A RATHER TIGHT RAIN/SNOW
TRANSITION. TRANSITION ZONE ON THE SOUTH SIDE MAY PRODUCE A NARROW
STRIPE SLEET THIS EVENING. HOWEVER MODEL SOUNDINGS INDICATE ANY -RA
THIS EVENING SHOULD QUICKLY TRANSITION TO -SN DUE TO EVAPORATIVE
COOLING AND THE COOL/DRY EASTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW. MODEL ENSEMBLE
CONSENSUS PRODUCES UPWARDS OF 3/4 TO 1 INCH OF QPF IN THE PRECIP
BAND ACROSS THE AREA FROM LATE THIS EVENING THRU FRI...WHICH EQUATES
TO UPWARDS OF 10 INCHES OF SNOW IN THE HEART OF THE SNOW BAND. IF
BAND BECOMES CONVECTIVE...POTENTIAL FOR A NARROW STRIPE OF 12+
INCHES OF SNOW SOMEWHERE EAST-WEST ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. THUS...
HAVE UPGRADED MUCH OF EARLIER WINTER STORM WATCH TO WINTER STORM
WARNING. EARLIER EXPANDED THIS A BIT FURTHER NORTH WITH OVERALL
TREND OF MODELS TOWARD SLIGHTLY MORE QPF AND A SLIGHT NORTHWARD
SHIFT. SURROUNDED THIS WITH A FEW COUNTIES OF WINTER WEATHER
ADVISORY TO THE SOUTH WITH POTENTIAL FOR THE MIX AND SNOW ADVISORY
TO THE NORTH WHERE 3 TO 6 INCH SNOWFALLS EXPECTED TO CLIP THE SOUTH
ENDS OF SOME COUNTIES. WITH SFC-700MB TROUGH AND SOME LINGERING
CONVERGENCE TO LINGER OVER THE AREA FRI EVENING...RAISED POPS THAT
PERIOD TO LIKELY OVER PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. WEAK RIDGE OF
HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES ACROSS THE AREA FOR SAT/SAT NIGHT...BEFORE
SECONDARY SHORTWAVE DROPS SOUTH ACROSS THE AREA FOR SAT NIGHT INTO
SUN. APPEARS TO BE ENOUGH MOISTURE AND WEAK LIFT WITH THIS FEATURE
TO INCLUDE A SMALL -SN CHANCE SAT NIGHT INTO SUN. ANOTHER STRONGER
BUT TRANSITORY HIGH DROPS ACROSS THE AREA SUN NIGHT.

GUIDANCE LOWS FOR TONIGHT SIMILAR AND REASONABLE. WITH SNOW EXPECTED
MUCH OF FRI...FAVORED COOLER OF GUIDANCE HIGHS. WITH CLOUDS EXPECTED
REMAIN AT LEAST EARLY FRI NIGHT...FAVORED WARMER OF GUIDANCE LOWS.
FAVORED BLEND OF GUIDANCE HIGHS SAT WITH SOME MARCH SUNSHINE OVER
WHAT SHOULD BE PLENTY OF FRESH SNOWCOVER. GUIDANCE LOWS SIMILAR AND
LOOK GOOD FOR SAT NIGHT. USED BLEND OF GFS MEX/ ENSEMBLE MOS AND HPC
GUIDANCE HIGHS/LOWS FOR SUN/SUN NIGHT.
