345 AM CDT SUN MAR 10 2013
MAIN FORECAST CONCERN IS DENSE FOG EARLY THIS MORNING...THEN ON THE
RAIN CHANGING TO SNOW EARLY THIS EVENING AND SNOW AMOUNTS TONIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY MORNING.
07Z WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS WELL DEFINED SHORTWAVE OVER
KANSAS...WITH PLUME OF MOISTURE STREAMING NORTHWARD OUT AHEAD OF IT.
MEANWHILE AT THE SURFACE LOW PRESSURE IS CENTERED OVER EASTERN
KANSAS...WITH WITH NORTHWARD STRETCHING COLD FRONT NOW JUST ENTERING
SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA. AREAS OF DENSE FOG WAS PREVALENT AHEAD THE

OTHERWISE...RADAR SHOWING SCATTERED LIGHT RAIN OVER MUCH OF THE
FORECAST AREA.
10.00Z DETERMINISTIC MODELS OFFER SIMILAR SOLUTIONS HANDLING THE
SHORTWAVE TROUGH LIFTING OUT OF THE PLAINS THROUGH MONDAY MORNING.
ONLY DIFFERENCES IS WITH THE NAM KEEPING THE FAR NORTHERN AREAS
QUITE A BIT DRIER THAN THE OTHER SOLUTIONS AND THUS USED A BLEND OF
THE GEM/GFS AND ECMWF FOR THE QPF AMOUNTS AND THIS INLINE WITH THE
06Z HPC OUTPUT.
10.03Z SREF SHOWING VISIBILITIES WILL RISE FROM WEST TO EAST BETWEEN
11Z-15Z THIS MORNING AS THE DRIER AIR ADVECTS INTO THE REGION BEHIND
THE FRONT. WILL EXPAND THE DENSE FOG ADVISORY THROUGH MUCH OF THE
AREA THROUGH 15Z TO ACCOUNT FOR THE LOWER VISIBILITIES. THE COLD FRONT WILL
CONTINUE TO PUSH ACROSS THE FORECAST TODAY WITH COOLER AIR FILTERING
IN BEHIND IT. RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO FALL THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY
BEFORE ENOUGH COOLING ARRIVES TO BEGIN TO SWITCH THE RAIN TO SNOW
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING.
SHORTWAVE LIFTS NORTHEAST TONIGHT...WITH THE WAVE BEGINNING TO OPEN
UP MONDAY MORNING. MODELS INDICATE RATHER DEEP QG CONVERGENCE TO PASS
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY MORNING...WITH
SUBSIDENCE THEN AFTER 18Z MONDAY. DEFORMATION BAND LOOKS TO SET UP
THROUGH THE HEART OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS EVENING AND THEN SHIFT
NORTHEAST WITH TIME. MODELS IN AGREEMENT WITH 1/4 TO 3/4 OF AN INCH
QPF AMOUNTS IN THE DEFORMATION BAND AND GIVEN SNOW RATIOS AROUND

RANGE. AFTER COORDINATION WITH SURROUNDING OFFICES WILL HOIST A
WINTER STORM WARNING FOR MUCH OF THE AREA...WITH A SMALL PART OF THE
NORTHWEST SIDE OF THE FORECAST AREA IN AN ADVISORY AS WELL AS GRANT
COUNTY IN WISCONSIN.
A BRIEF BREAK IN THE ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED THEN MONDAY NIGHT...BUT
THEN ANOTHER SHORTWAVE DROPS THROUGH THE NORTHWEST FLOW ON TUESDAY
CARVING OUT A TROUGH OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST AND GREAT LAKES. NOT
MUCH IN THE WAY OF A SURFACE REFLECTION...BUT MODELS SHOWING SOME
WEAK QG CONVERGENCE ABOVE 700MB. THUS LIKE PREVIOUS FORECAST DID
MENTION LOWER END PROBABILITIES. TYPE WOULD BE PRIMARILY SNOW...BUT
CANNOT RULE OUT A LITTLE RAIN MIXING IN IN THE AFTERNOON.
HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS BACK INTO THE REGION TUESDAY NIGHT AS
TROUGH SHIFTS EASTWARD INTO THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES.
.LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY
345 AM CDT SUN MAR 10 2013
GFS/ECMWF CONTINUE TO FAVOR A MORE NORTHWESTERLY FLOW THROUGH MUCH
OF THE PERIOD...WITH SEVERAL WEAK EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES TRAVERSING THE
FLOW. UPPER RIDGING DOES BEGIN TO NUDGE CLOSER BY SATURDAY AND THIS
SHOULD HELP TEMPERATURES WARM SLIGHTLY TO NEAR NORMAL BY SATURDAY.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES HARD TO TIME IN THIS FLOW AND THUS CONFIDENCE
IS LOW ON ANY ONE SOLUTION BEING CORRECT AND THUS USED A BLEND
THROUGH THE PERIOD.

THROUGH TONIGHT. THE RAIN WILL CHANGE OVER TO SNOW ACROSS
SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA AND NORTHEAST IOWA THIS AFTERNOON AND WESTERN
