AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
1044 AM CST WED FEB 22 2012

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT
410 AM CST TUE FEB 22 2012

FORECAST CONCERNS CONTINUE TO BE PRECIPITATION CHANCES THROUGH THE
PERIOD.

WATER VAPOR/RUC ANALYSIS SHOWING A BROAD MID-LEVEL TROUGH OF LOW
PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL SECTION OF THE CONUS/UPPER MISSISSIPPI
RIVER VALLEY REGION. A WEAK EMBEDDED TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE NOW OVER
CENTRAL WI GAVE THE AREA SCATTERED FLURRY ACTIVITY DURING THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. ANOTHER WEAK WAVE WAS VISIBLE OVER CENTRAL WI WITH
THE LIFT PRODUCING SOME ECHOES ON RADAR MOSAIC ACROSS IA INTO
NORTHERN IL. OTHERWISE...SKIES ACROSS THE AREA WERE PARTLY TO MOSTLY
CLOUDY WITH TEMPERATURES HANGING IN THE UPPER 20S TO A FEW LOWER
30S.

FOR TODAY...WILL BE WATCHING THAT WEAK MID-LEVEL WAVE OVER IA MOVE
EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA. WEAK
MID-LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS ASSOCIATED WITH THE WAVE MAY BE ENOUGH TO
SQUEEZE OUT SCATTERED SPRINKLES BY AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE...LOOK FOR
SKIES TO BE MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH MILD TEMPERATURES TOPPING OFF IN THE
MIDDLE 30S NORTH OF I-94...TO THE LOWER AND MIDDLE 40S SOUTH OF
I-90.

MODELS HAVING SHOWING SOME DIFFERENCE REGARDING A MORE VIGOROUS
MID-LEVEL TROUGH/SURFACE LOW ROTATING ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS
TOWARD THE AREA TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. WHEN COMPARING THE
VARIOUS MODELS...THE NAM SEEM TO BE AN OUTLIER WITH ITS
NORTHERN-MOST TRACK ACROSS WI ON THURSDAY. HAVE LARGELY DISCOUNTED
IT FOR NOW AND WENT MORE WITH A CONSENSUS OF THE 22.00Z
GFS/ECMWF/GEM AND THE 22.03Z SREF. THIS BEING SAID...LOOK FOR THE
LOW TO TRACK FROM THE DAKOTAS TONIGHT AND ACROSS NORTHERN IL ON
THURSDAY. GFS SHOWING DECENT 850-700MB ISENTROPIC LIFT AND
FRONTOGENESIS BRUSHING SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA FOR A
GOOD CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION. FELT CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO GO WITH
LIKELY POPS SOUTH OF I-90 OVERNIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. GFS BUFKIT
SOUNDINGS SHOWING A SNOW PROFILE TONIGHT...AND THROUGH MUCH OF
THURSDAY AS WELL. HOWEVER...EXPECTING TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB INTO THE
UPPER 30S ACROSS THE SOUTH THROUGH THE DAY...SO WOULD EXPECT MOST OF
THE SNOW ACCUMULATION TO BE AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY
MORNING. RIGHT NOW...IT APPEARS 1-2 INCHES IS POSSIBLE SOUTH OF
I-90.

ANOTHER WEAK EMBEDDED WAVE WITHIN THE LONG WAVE TROUGH ACROSS THE
MID SECTION OF THE COUNTRY EXPECTED TO ROTATE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE
AREA LATE THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT FOR CONTINUED LIGHT
SNOW CHANCES. SOME OF THE SNOW MAY MIX WITH RAIN SOUTH OF I-90 ON
FRIDAY AS TEMPERATURES THERE WARM INTO THE MIDDLE 30S. ACCUMULATIONS
NOT EXPECTED TO BE MUCH...PERHAPS A COUPLE TENTHS TO A HALF INCH.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY
410 AM CST TUE FEB 22 2012

22.00Z GFS/EC/GEM COMING INTO BETTER AGREEMENT...IN FACT PRETTY MUCH
RIGHT ON WITH EACH OTHER REGARDING THE STORM SYSTEM AFFECTING THE
REGION SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY. MODELS TAKE LOW FROM CO/WY ROCKIES
NORTHEASTWARD INTO SOUTHERN MN ON SUNDAY...WITH THE ASSOCIATED WARM
FRONT WORKING THROUGH OUR AREA. GFS BUFKIT SOUNDING SHOWING ALL SNOW
RIGHT NOW THROUGH SUNDAY IN THE WARM AIR ADVECTION...BUT SURFACE
TEMPERATURES ALONG AND SOUTH OF I-90 EXPECTED TO CLIMB INTO THE MID
30S TO AROUND 40S...SO WOULD EXPECT THE SNOW TO TRANSITION TO A
RAIN/SNOW MIX OR POSSIBLY ALL RAIN. AT THIS POINT...DOESNT LOOK LIKE
MUCH IN THE WAY OF SNOW ACCUMULATION FOR THE AREA THROUGH SUNDAY AS
THE MAIN DEFORMATION BAND SNOW STAYS NORTHWEST OF THE LOW ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST HALF OF MN. ACCUMULATING SNOW LOOKS MORE LIKELY FOR MAINLY
NORTHWEST PORTIONS OF THE AREA ON MONDAY AS THE LOW TRACKS INTO UPPER
MICHIGAN. LOOKS LIKE THE SNOW WILL TAPE OFF ACROSS THE NORTH MONDAY
NIGHT AS THE LOW CONTINUES BEGINS TO FILL AND MOVE INTO SOUTHERN
ONTARIO. TUESDAY APPEARS CHILLY AND BRISK ARCTIC AIR SPILLS INTO THE
AREA. STILL PLENTY OF TIME THOUGH FOR THE MODELS TO CHANGE THEIR
MINDS. WILL HAVE TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON FUTURE MODEL RUNS FOR EXACT
TRACK OF THIS STORM AND ITS AFFECT ON THE AREA.

.AVIATION...TODAY AND TONIGHT
533 AM CST WED FEB 22 2012

A WEAK MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE OVER IOWA WILL MOVE EAST TODAY. EXPECT
A BAND OF MID LEVEL CLOUDS NOW OVER IOWA AND SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA
TO EXPAND NORTHWARD. CEILINGS EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 040-060KFT
RANGE AT THE TAF SITES. SOME SPRINKLES POSSIBLE TODAY...BUT DID
NOT MENTION AT EITHER TAF SITE.

STRONGER MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE DROPS SOUTHEAST OUT OF SOUTH DAKOTA
LATE TONIGHT. MAIN FRONTOGENETIC AREA TO BEGIN TO NOSE INTO SOUTHEAST
MINNESOTA AFTER 09Z...WHEN PRECIPITATION WILL BECOME MORE
WIDESPREAD. AT THIS POINT IT LOOKS TO BE MAINLY SNOW AND THUS HAVE
DROPPED CEILINGS INTO THE LOWER MVFR CATEGORY AT KRST WITH
VISIBILITIES AROUND 2SM IN -SN. FORCING APPROACHES KLSE TOWARDS
12Z AND SINCE SOME UNCERTAINTY EXISTS IF IT MAKES IT TO KLSE BY
