AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
1029 AM CST THU FEB 26 2009

.UPDATE...IMPRESSIVE THERMODYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH SURFACE AND
UPPER LEVEL WAVE EJECTING FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS WAS PRODUCING
AREA OF HEAVY PRECIPITATION IN SOUTHWEST MN AND NORTHWEST IOWA. OF
NOTE...CONVECTION EMBEDDED WITHIN THIS AREA...WHICH WAS ENHANCING
PRECIPITATION RATES. ALL OF THIS ADVANCING STEADILY NORTHEASTWARD.

LATEST RUC AND 26.12Z NAM/WRF INDICATED TEMPERATURE PROFILES
SUGGESTIVE OF A MIX OF SNOW...SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN SHOULD
IMPACT THE CENTRAL PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. EFFECTS OF
CONVECTION SHOULD PRODUCE HEAVY RATES OF PRECIPITATION...ALONG
WITH EFFECT OF CHANGING FREEZING RAIN OR SLEET TO ALL SNOW.

ACROSS SOUTHERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA...A MIX OF
PRECIPITATION EXPECTED...WITH EVERYTHING FROM SLEET AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS TO ALL RAIN. IN NORTHERN MOST SECTIONS...FORECAST
SOUNDINGS SUPPORT MAINLY SNOW...SO HEAVIEST SNOWFALL ANTICIPATED
IN THOSE LOCATIONS.

ZONE UPDATE FORTHCOMING BY 1645Z THIS MORNING...WITH NO
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES EXPECTED. PLEASE REFERENCE LATEST WINTER
WEATHER STATEMENTS...LOCAL HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK...AS WELL AS
GRAPHICAST...WEB NEWS HEADLINE AND PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENTS
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE IMPACTS OF THIS WINTER STORM.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 305 AM CST THU FEB 26 2009/

SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT

POTENT STORM SYSTEM IMPACTING THE AREA TODAY THROUGH THIS EVENING IS
THE MAIN FOCUS FOR CONCERN.

DATA ANALYSIS AT 2 AM HAD A STRENGTHENING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER
EASTERN CO AND THE PANHANDLE OF NEB. STRONG ISENTROPIC LIFT AND
FRONTOGENETIC FORCING WAS PRODUCING A LARGE SHIELD OF SNOW OVER THE
DAKOTAS NORTH OF THE LOW. ALSO NOTED WAS A REPORT OF THUNDER OVER
KVTN NEB ASSOCIATED WITH STRONG FORCING. CONDITIONS ACROSS OUR LOCAL
AREA WERE QUIET AT THE MOMENT UNDER PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH
TEMPERATURES IN THE 20S TO LOWER 30S.

SHORT TERM MODELS NOW IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH HANDLING OF THE
STORM SYSTEM IMPACTING THE AREA TODAY.

FOR TODAY...THE POTENT LOW WILL MOVE QUICKLY INTO EASTERN KS BY NOON
TODAY AND INTO NORTHERN IL BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WILL SPREAD
A MIXED BAG OF PRECIPITATION INTO WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE AREA BY
MID MORNING AND ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA AFTER NOON. RIGHT
NOW...IT APPEARS THE MODELED THERMAL STRUCTURE WOULD SUPPORT ALL
SNOW BASICALLY FOR AREAS ALONG/NORTH OF I-90...AND A WINTRY MIX
SOUTH OF THIS. SLEET/ICE ACCUMULATIONS ACROSS THE SOUTH LOOK TO BE
LESS THAN A QUARTER OF AN INCH. ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH...ROUGHLY SOUTH
OF A LINE FROM RICHLAND CENTER WI THROUGH WEST UNION IA...THERE WILL
BE ENOUGH WARM AIR TO SUPPORT ALL RAIN THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
VERY STRONG DEEP FRONTOGENETIC FORCING NOTED ON A N-S CROSS SECTION
THROUGH THE AREA COUPLED WITH POCKETS OF -EPV TO RELEASE
INSTABILITY. HAVE BUMPED UP SNOW AMOUNTS BASED ON THIS NORTH OF I-90
WITH HEAVIEST SNOW LOOKING TO SET UP ROUGHLY FROM LAKE CITY MN
THROUGH NEILLSVILLE AND MEDFORD WI WHERE AROUND 10 INCHES CAN BE
EXPECTED. SNOW RATES COULD REACH 2-3 INCHES PER HOUR WITH THIS TYPE
OF FORCING AND ANTICIPATED CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS.

THE LOW PULLS INTO LOWER MI AROUND MIDNIGHT PULLING THE BULK OF THE
PRECIPITATION WITH IT. ACROSS THE SOUTH...SOUNDINGS SHOW A LOSS OF
ICE...SO MAYBE A MIX OF FREEZING DRIZZLE AND SNOW ANTICIPATED IN THE
EARLY EVENING AS COLDER AIR SPILLS IN. SHOULD BECOME ALL SNOW AS THE
COLUMN CONTINUES TO COOL THROUGH THE MID/LATE EVENING.

BASED ON THE ABOVE SCENARIO...HAVE CONTINUED THE WINTER STORM
WARNINGS ACROSS THE NORTHERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE AREA FOR SNOW AND
POCKETS OF MIXED SLEET AND SNOW. ALSO REPLACED THE WATCH ACROSS THE
SOUTH WITH A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE WINTRY MIX.

NEXT CHANCE OF SNOW WILL BE FRIDAY NIGHT AS A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE
TROUGH DROPS FROM THE DAKOTAS INTO THE MIDWEST. APPEARS THAT AIR
WILL BE TO DRY TO SATURATE EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. LOOKS LIKE
AN INCH AT BEST WITH THIS SYSTEM AND MAINLY WEST OF THE RIVER AS
BEST LIFT/SATURATION REMAINS WEST AND SOUTH OF THE AREA.

LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

NOT MUCH TIME AGAIN TO LOOK AT THE EXTENDED WITH MAIN FOCUS ON THE
NEAR TERM. SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY LOOKS DRY AS HIGH PRESSURE DRIFTS
ACROSS THE AREA. A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH TOPPING THE RIDGE WILL
PRODUCE A CHANCE OF -SN ACROSS THE NORTH FROM MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD LOOK TO REMAIN BELOW
SEASONAL NORMALS. CURRENT EXTENDED DATABASE SEEMS TO HAVE THIS
HANDLED WELL...SO NO CHANGES WERE MADE AT THIS TIME.

&&

AVIATION...

ALL EYES SQUARELY ON THE APPROACHING SYSTEM. ONLY HIGH CLOUDS
EXPECTED FOR THE LOCAL AVIATION AREA...INCLUDING KRST/KLSE...THROUGH
12Z. AFTER THAT...EXPECT CEILINGS TO BE LOWERING WITH TIME AS THE
LARGE SYSTEM TO THE WEST BEGINS TO INVADE. EASTERLY FLOW AT THE
LOWEST LAYERS...GENERALLY BELOW 5000 FT...KEEPING THE BOUNDARY LAYER
RELATIVELY DRY AT THE ONSET. BUT AS FORCING AND MOISTURE SUPPLY
INCREASE...EXPECT SATURATION TO OCCUR QUICKLY FROM THE TOP DOWN.

LOOKING FOR THE FIRST PRECIP TO BEGIN REACHING THE GROUND IN THE
17-18Z TIMEFRAME AT KRST...AND 18-19 AT KLSE. FORECAST SOUNDINGS
SHOW THE DRY LAYER ERODING...AND ANY WARM LAYER ABOVE THE FREEZING
MARK TO BE DYNAMICALLY COOLED. COULD BE A LITTLE SLEET AT TIMES...
BUT EXPECTING PRIMARILY SNOW. AND IT LOOKS TO FALL PRETTY HEAVILY
DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. COULD SEE SNOWFALL RATES AT OR ABOVE AN
INCH PER HOUR AT THE PEAK OF STORM. THIS COULD POSE PROBLEMS FOR
AIRPORT MAINTENANCE...AS WE COULD SEE 4 TO 7 INCHES.

PRECIPITATION LOOKS TO QUICKLY SHUT OFF DURING THE EVENING...BUT IFR
CEILINGS LOOK TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE NIGHT. BRISK NORTH TO NORTHWEST
WINDS AS WELL...WHICH MAY RESULT IN SOME DRIFTING.

IMPROVEMENT IN CEILINGS AND REDUCED WIND SPEEDS EXPECTED FRIDAY
MORNING.
