DEPENDENT ON RATE AND LOCATION...WITH THE LEADING EDGE BEING
MOSTLY A RAIN AND SLEET MIXTURE. SNOW...HEAVY AT TIMES...IS STILL
FOUND FROM ALBERT LEA...TO DODGE CENTER...AND RED WING. THIS TREND

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
312 PM CDT WED MAY 1 2013

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT AND THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 312 PM CDT WED MAY 1 2013

GLARING RADAR MOSAIC SHOWING A VERY TIGHT/VIGOROUS FRONTOGENETICALLY
DRIVEN SNOW BAND EXTENDING FROM EASTERN NEBRASKA...NORTHEAST THROUGH
WESTERN IA...MN AND NORTHWEST WI. SNOW AMOUNTS IN THE 2 TO LOCALLY 6
INCH RANGE WERE REPORTED ACROSS SOUTHWEST MN/NORTHWESTERN IA/EASTERN
NEB. LATEST WATER VAPOR/RAP 500MB ANALYSIS SHOWS DEEP MID-LEVEL
TROUGH AXIS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS SNOW BAND EXTENDING FROM THE
DAKOTAS INTO THE 4-CORNERS AREA. MEANWHILE...TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE
AREA RANGED WILDLY FROM THE LOW/MID 40S ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST
MN AND NORTHEAST IA UNDER AN OVERCAST SKY...TO THE LOWER 70S ACROSS
FAR SOUTHWEST WI UNDER MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES.

MODELS SHOWING MID-LEVEL TROUGH MOVING VERY LITTLE BUT UNDERGOING
SOME DEEPENING THROUGH TONIGHT. THIS BUDGES STRONG 700-500MB
FRONTOGENESIS INTO THE NORTHWEST HALF OF OUR FORECAST AREA. INITIALLY
LOOKING AT RAIN OR A RAIN/SNOW MIX MOVING IN THIS EVENING...THEN
SWITCHING OVER TO MOSTLY ALL SNOW AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH DYNAMIC
COOLING THROUGH THE COLUMN NORTHWEST OF A LINE FROM NORTH CENTRAL WI
INTO SOUTHEAST MN...AND THROUGH CHARLES CITY IA IN NORTHEAST IA.
APPEARS THIS FRONTOGENESIS CONTINUES ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH
THURSDAY MORNING...THEN WEAKENS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. SO...MODERATE
TO OCCASIONALLY HEAVY SNOWFALL LOOKS TO CONTINUE ACROSS NORTHWEST
PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE MORNING...THEN MIXING WITH
OR CHANGING TO RAIN DURING THE AFTERNOON AS TEMPERATURES WARM AND
FRONTOGENESIS WEAKENS. MAINLY RAIN EXPECTED ACROSS THE REST OF THE
AREA. APPEARS FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY...3 TO AS MUCH AS 9
INCHES OF SNOWFALL IS POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST
IA/SOUTHEAST WI INTO NORTH CENTRAL WI...MAINLY ON THE GRASSY
SURFACES. THIS WILL ALSO LIKELY HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE THURSDAY
MORNING COMMUTE AS WELL WITH REDUCED VISIBILITY IN THE SNOW AND
SLUSHY ACCUMULATIONS ON THE ROADWAYS ACROSS THIS AREA. AS A
RESULT...HAVE RE-ARRANGED/UPGRADED HEADLINES IN SOME CASES TO
ACCOUNT FOR THIS. SEE THE WATCH/WARNING/ADVISORY SECTION BELOW FOR
DETAILS.

OTHERWISE AND OBVIOUSLY...TEMPERATURES THROUGH THURSDAY WILL BE
UNSEASONABLY COLD WITH HIGHS ONLY TOPPING OFF IN THE MIDDLE 30S TO
THE MIDDLE 40S...WHICH IS SOME 25 TO 30 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 312 PM CDT WED MAY 1 2013

PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE INTO THURSDAY NIGHT WITH POSSIBLY A
COUPLE MORE INCHES OF SNOW ACCUMULATION ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST
IA/SOUTHEAST MN/NORTH CENTRAL WI. WILL HAVE TO ASSESS OVERNIGHT
TONIGHT/TOMORROW THE NEED TO POSSIBLY EXTEND THE CURRENT HEADLINES
IF ACCUMULATING SNOW CONTINUES. THERE IS ALSO THE POSSIBILITY OF
SOME FREEZING RAIN OR SLEET ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHERN WI THAT MAY
NECESSITATE CONTINUED HEADLINES. OTHERWISE...LOOK FOR RAIN
CONTINUING ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA WHERE TEMPERATURES WILL BE
WARMER.

FOR FRIDAY AND INTO THE WEEKEND...MODELS IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT
THAT A CLOSED LOW WILL DEVELOP SOMEWHERE ACROSS MO/IA/SOUTHERN IL WITH
A MOIST/WARMER FETCH OF AIR INTO THE AREA FOR THE CONTINUED LIKELIHOOD
OF RAINFALL AT LEAST THROUGH SATURDAY. HIGHS FRIDAY EXPECTED TO BE
IN THE 40S...MID 40S TO MID 50S ON SATURDAY...AND IN THE 50S SUNDAY.

REST OF THE LONG TERM MARKED WITH UNCERTAINTY AS THE FLOW TRIES TO
CORRECT ITSELF BEHIND THE DEPARTING CLOSED LOW. THEREFORE...WILL BE
GOING WITH LOW-END RAIN CHANCES THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY AND FINALLY
DRY ON WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE DEPENDENT ON AMOUNT OF CLOUD
COVER AND AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION. RIGHT NOW...TOOK THE MODEL
CONSENSUS FOR HIGH THROUGH WEDNESDAY WHICH GIVES US 60S OR SLIGHTLY
BELOW NORMAL.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON) ISSUED
AT 1145 AM CDT WED MAY 1 2013

DEFORMATION/FRONTOGENETIC BAND OF PCPN WILL CREEP IN FROM THE WEST
LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING...WITH STRONG LOW LEVEL FORCING HANGING
AROUND THROUGH MUCH OF THU. COULD START OUT AS -RASN AT KRST...BUT
WOULD QUICKLY SWITCH OVER TO -SN. THE STRONG FORCING COULD RESULT IN
INCH PER HOUR SNOWFALL RATES OVERNIGHT...WHICH WOULD OVERCOME THE
WARMER PAVEMENT RESULTING IN SOME ACCUMULATIONS. THE BULK OF THE
ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE ON THE COLDER/GRASSY SFCS. AT KLSE BUFKIT
SOUNDINGS POINT TO A WARMER COLUMN...AND THUS -RA WILL BE THE MAIN
PCPN TYPE. CIGS WILL BE MVFR/IFR...AND HOLD THERE THROUGH THU.
TIGHT PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL THE KEEP THE WINDS UP FROM THE
