1049 AM CST MON DEC 8 2008

...MIXED PRECIPITATION POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON THEN SNOW EXPECTED...

.PRECIPITATION WILL BEGIN TO SPREAD INTO THE AREA THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. ACROSS NORTHEAST IOWA INTO SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN...THE
ONSET OF THIS PRECIPITATION COULD BE AS FREEZING RAIN OR SLEET
SHOWERS...MIXED WITH SOME SNOW. THIS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
PRODUCE A LIGHT COATING OF ICE ON UNTREATED SURFACES. THE FREEZING
RAIN AND SLEET SHOULD CHANGE OVER TO ALL SNOW DURING THE EVENING
AS THE PRECIPITATION GETS HEAVIER AND TEMPERATURES COOL. THE SNOW
IS THEN EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA NORTH OF THE IOWA MINNESOTA BORDER
SHOULD SEE PRIMARILY ALL SNOW. SOME LIGHT SNOW WILL DEVELOP ACROSS
THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE HEAVIEST SNOW EXPECTED THIS
EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THERE IS A SMALL POSSIBILITY
THAT SOME MIXED PRECIPITATION COULD FALL AS THE PRECIPITATION
STARTS...BUT IT SHOULD NOT BE ENOUGH TO PRODUCE ANY ICE
ACCUMULATIONS.

SOME UNCERTAINTY STILL EXISTS FOR TOTAL SNOW AMOUNTS ACROSS
NORTHEAST IOWA INTO SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN DUE TO THE MIXED
PRECIPITATION POTENTIAL. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 4 TO 8 INCHES STILL
LOOK POSSIBLE ALONG WITH SOME ICE ACCUMULATION. FARTHER TO THE
NORTH WHERE MAINLY ALL SNOW IS EXPECTED...TOTAL SNOW AMOUNTS
SHOULD RANGE FROM 5 TO 10 INCHES. THIS BAND OF SNOW SHOULD BE
CENTERED ON THE INTERSTATE 90 CORRIDOR...ESPECIALLY FROM LA CROSSE
EAST TOWARD BLACK RIVER FALLS AND MAUSTON. FOR AREAS NORTH OF
NEILLSVILLE WISCONSIN...SNOW AMOUNTS OF 3 TO 6 INCHES ARE
EXPECTED.

IN ADDITION TO THE SNOW...WINDS WILL INCREASE OVERNIGHT TO 15 TO
25 MPH OUT OF THE NORTH AND CONTINUE TO TUESDAY. THESE WINDS WILL
CREATE DRIFTING SNOW AND WILL FURTHER HAMPER TRAVEL ACROSS THE
REGION.

WINTER STORM WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT FOR ALMOST THE ENTIRE LOCAL
AREA THROUGH TUESDAY. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR
TAYLOR COUNTY THROUGH TUESDAY.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
413 AM CST MON DEC 8 2008

.SHORT TERM...THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT
FINGERNAILS ALL BUT CHEWED OFF...HAIR PULLED OUT...AND STILL A
GREAT DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY ON FORECASTING THIS WINTER STORM OVER
THE LAST 24-48 HOURS. SPENT ENTIRE FORECAST TIME ON TODAY THROUGH
TUESDAY...WITH LITTLE TIME SPENT ELSEWHERE. SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO
HEADLINES CAME OUT OF THIS FORECAST...DETAILED BELOW.

WILL START RIGHT OFF AND SPEAK TO THE SHIFT FROM NO WATCH INTO
WINTER STORM WARNING FOR MUCH OF SERN MN INTO CENTRAL WISCONSIN.
DPROG/DT OF LAST 4 RUNS OF GFS...AND ESPECIALLY THE LAST 3 RUNS OF
THE NAM-WRF...AND TAKING SREF CONSIDERATIONS...LED US THIS
DIRECTION. VERY HARD TO STOMACH A SHIFT THIS EXTREME...BUT WHEN
DEALING WITH SPLIT FLOW CONSIDERATIONS...THE PHASING/SPEED OF THE
TWO STREAMS OFTEN LEADS TO RADICAL JUMPS IN THE DATASETS...SHOWN
NO MORE CLEARLY THAN IN THE NAM-WRF...WHERE IT WENT FROM A DRY
FORECAST 3 RUNS AGO IN THE I-90 CORRIDOR...TO OVER A FOOT OF SNOW
/06Z/. GFS RUN TO RUN TREND WAS NOT AS POOR...IT DEPICTED A BAND
OF WARNING SNOW...BUT HAS SHIFTED STEADILY NORTH WITH TIME AND
CONTINUES TO DO SO...HOPEFULLY SLOWING NOW THAT WE ARE WITHIN 18
HOURS OF ONSET. THE BOTTOM LINE...IS THAT AN AMALGAM OF THE 08.00Z
AND 08.06Z SREF/ECMWF/GEM/GFS AND NUMEROUS NCEP AND LOCALLY RUN
WRF MODELS ALL POINT TO A HIGH IMPACT WINTER STORM...WITH MIXED
PHASE PRECIP THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING OVER NERN IA AND SWRN WI...AND
MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW OVER SERN MN INTO CNTL WISCONSIN. THERE
ARE DISTURBING TRENDS IN THE HIGH RESOLUTION DATASETS /12KM
RESOLUTION AND LESS...THE NAM-WRF..SPC-WRF...ARW-WRF...AND LOCALLY
RUN GFS-BASED ARW-WRF/ THAT AN EMBEDDED BAND OF HEAVY SNOW
APPROACHING A FOOT NOW SEEMS A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY IN THE I-90
CORRIDOR /EXACT LOCATION IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DEPICT/...SO OUR GUARD IS
RAISED THAT THESE HI-RES DATASETS MAY BE SHOWING ASPECTS OF THE
STORM THAT THE MORE COARSE GFS/ECMWF/SREF MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SHOW.
THE PROBLEM IS...EACH DATASET PLACES THE BAND OF HIGH IMPACT SNOW
/10 INCHES OR MORE/ ON A DIFFERENT LATITUDE...WITH NCEP NMM-WRF
THROUGH EAU CLAIRE/NEILLSVILLE...THE NCEP ARW-WRF ALONG I-90 FROM
LA CROSSE TO THE EAST...THE 06Z NAM-WRF ALONG I-90 FROM RST
THROUGH LSE...AND THE LOCALLY RUN ARW-WRF BASED ON THE GFS FROM
ELKADER TO MAUSTON. ADD TO THIS...THE MISERY OF P-TYPE ISSUES WITH
A FURTHER NORTH SHIFT...AND THERE IS A VERY REAL POSSIBILITY THIS
FORECAST /ESPECIALLY SNOW AMOUNTS/ WILL NOT WORK OUT FOR SOME
AREAS. GIVEN POTENTIAL IMPACT...FELT PRUDENT TO EXPAND WARNING
OVER MOST OF THE AREA AND ACCEPT INHERENT RISK THAT SOME OF THIS
WILL NOT WORK OUT...BUT THE ADDITIONAL LEAD TIME IS NECESSARY FOR
THOSE FALLING UNDER THE MAIN SNOW BAND. ADDITION OF STRONG WINDS
LATE TONIGHT/TUES WILL MAKE OPEN AREAS A MESS...AND POTENTIAL SIG
ICING IN OUR SOUTH TOPPED BY A COUPLE OF INCHES OF SNOW SUPPORT A
MOVE TO WARNING. DETAILS BELOW.

WILL NOT GET INTO DETAILED MODEL ASSESSMENT HERE GIVEN RUNNING
LATE...BUT CONSENSUS NOW IS TO SWING POTENT UPPER LOW SEEN IN GOES
WATER VAPOR LOOPS /WITH LIGHTNING NOW IN WRN AZ/ NORTHEAST INTO
UPPER MS VALLEY AS NRN STREAM ENERGY OVER MT HAS SLOWED AND
ALLOWED THIS TO SWING MUCH FURTHER NORTH/EAST. MID LEVEL FLOW
BACKS NICELY TODAY AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE...WITH INCREASING LARGE
SCALE FORCING SIGNAL /QG/ DURING THE AFTERNOON...WITH BACKING MID
LEVEL FLOW INCREASING FRONTOGENESIS /FGEN/. WARM/DRY LAYER ABOVE
SHALLOW ARCTIC AIRMASS LIFTS INTO MUCH OF FORECAST AREA THIS
MORNING AND PRESENTS THE P-TYPE ISSUES THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
AS FGEN/ISENTROPIC FORCING INCREASES RAPIDLY THIS AFTERNOON...SOME
PCPN WILL NO DOUBT DEVELOP AND FALL INTO THIS WARM/DRY LAYER
ALOFT. HYDROMETEORS MAKING IT THROUGH THIS LAYER WILL FALL AS
FZRA...BUT AS SATURATION PULLS THERMAL TRACE TO DEWPOINT...P-TYPE
WILL LIKELY SHIFT TO SLEET OR SNOW WITH TIME IN NEAR ISOTHERMAL
LAYER AROUND 0C. JUST TOO TOUGH TO CALL HERE...SO WENT WITH ALL
THREE P-TYPES IN NERN IA/SWRN WI THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING GIVEN
VARYING LATITUDES OF ERODING WARM NOSE. IF FREEZING RAIN IS
DOMINANT /HIGHLY SUGGESTIVE BY SREF PROBS...BUT NOT BY OPERATIONAL
SOUNDINGS FROM GFS/WRF/...SIG ICING TOWARD 1/4 INCH MAY BE SEEN
ACROSS PORTIONS OF NERN IA/SWRN WI LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS
EVENING...BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO SNOW. BUFKIT COBB DATA FROM
WRF/GFS ALL AGREE THAT NERN IA/SWRN WIS WILL BATTLE A MIXED PHASE
PRECIP ISSUE /MAYBE EVEN BRIEFLY INTO I-90 CORRIDOR LATE THIS
AFTN/EVE/ BEFORE CHANGING TO SNOW FROM WEST TO EAST THROUGH THE
NIGHT. THROUGH THE EVENING/OVERNIGHT....VERY NICE FGEN SIGNAL IN
RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF POTENT UPPER JET OVER ERN CANADA...WITH
COUPLED JET AND VERY STRONG LIFT TAKING OVER BY MIDNIGHT. SHOULD
SEE BANDS OF HEAVIER SNOW WITHIN LARGE AREA OF MODERATE SNOW OVER
SERN MN INTO CNTL WISCONSIN...LIKELY SNOWING AT INCH/HR CLIP FROM
TIME TO TIME. BY TUESDAY MORNING...MOST OF THE AREA WILL BE IN
SNOW...HEAVY AT TIMES...WITH FAR SOUTHEAST STILL BATTLING
WARMING/MIXED PHASE. THIS TO RAPIDLY SWITCH TO SNOW WITH MAIN BAND
SHIFTING INTO SWRN WISC ON TUES MORNING WHICH IS WHEN THEY WILL
ACCUMULATE THE MOST. THERE/S POTENTIAL HERE FOR A 12 INCH BAND OF
SNOW SHOULD THE FGEN FORCING RELEASE INSTABILITY VIA SLANTWISE
CONVECTION...BUT AS OF NOW...CROSS SECTIONS NOT OVERLY ROBUST ON
THIS SYMMETRIC INSTABILITY. WINDS TO COME UP OVERNIGHT AS GRADIENT
TIGHTENS WITH HIGH PRESSURE DROPPING IN WEST OF THE AREA. SHOULD
BE WIDESPREAD DRIFTING IN RURAL AREAS...WITH VERY DIFFICULT TRAVEL
FOR THOSE UNDER THE MAIN SNOW BAND. WELL TO THE NORTH /TAYLOR
COUNTY/ SEEMS TO STAY NORTH OF MAIN BAND OF FORCING SO JUST AN
ADVISORY THERE.

FORCING TO BREAK DOWN QUICKLY TUESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING AS SNOW
BAND SHIFTS OUT. WARNING END TIME LOOKS GOOD GIVEN LIKELY BLOWING
IN THE AFTERNOON ONCE THE SNOW ENDS. MAINLY A DRY/QUIET
WEDNESDAY...BUT COLD IN THERMAL TROUGH FROM DEPARTING STORM.

BOTTOM LINE...EXPECT WIDESPREAD 4-8 INCH SNOWS IN THE WARNING
AREA...WITH THE STRONG SIGNAL OF A HIGHER END BAND APPROACHING A
FOOT /NOTING 30-40 PERCENT OF SREF MEMBERS OVER 1 INCH OF LIQUID
QPF FROM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUES AFTERNOON/. CONCERNED ABOUT
SOUTHERN AREAS FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS...PTYPE ISSUES FOR ONE AND
EFFECTS ON SNOW TOTALS...AND SIGNAL IN SREF FOR A MORE
SIGNIFICANT ICING EVENT...THOUGH I CANNOT REPLICATE THIS THREAT
IN THE HIGHER RES MODEL SOUNDINGS.

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY
DIDN/T EVEN HAVE TIME TO LOOK AT THIS PERIOD OUTSIDE CURSORY
GLANCE THROUGH NEW 08.00Z GFS/ECMWF...WHICH BOTH SAY MAJOR WESTERN
TROUGH TO DEVELOP THROUGH THIS PERIOD WHICH MEANS WE RESIDE ON THE
WARM SIDE OF THE BAROCLINIC ZONE TO SET UP IN BROAD SWLY FLOW.
TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY NEED TO COME UP...AND IT WILL LIKELY
BECOME VERY ACTIVE INTO NEXT WEEKEND AS THIS BAROCLINIC
ZONE/TROUGH SHIFT EAST/SOUTHEAST. SEVERAL WINTER EVENTS SEEM
POSSIBLE PER GFS/ECMWF WITH SHALLOW ARCTIC AIR AND VERY WARM
ALOFT. WILL BE INTERESTING.

&&

.AVIATION...TODAY AND TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY

BREAK IN THE WEATHER EARLY THIS MORNING WITH DECREASE/CLEARING OF
CLOUDS BELOW 10K FT WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS.
CONDITIONS BEGIN TO DETERIORATE AGAIN RATHER QUICKLY THIS AFTERNOON
AS THE NEXT SYSTEM TAKES AIM AT THE UPPER MIDWEST...THIS ONE A
COMBINATION OF ONE PIECE LIFTING OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST U.S. AND ONE
PIECE COMING ACROSS THE NORTHERN ROCKIES/PLAINS. MOISTURE/LIFT
INCREASE RAPIDLY ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON WITH MVFR CIGS/VSBYS
IN -SN EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AT THE TAF SITES BETWEEN 18Z-21Z.
MOISTURE/LIFT CONTINUE TO INCREASE THRU THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS...

LOW LIFTS INTO MISSOURI TONIGHT THEN TOWARD SOUTHERN LAKE MI ON TUE
