ISSUED AT 1047 AM CST WED JAN 8 2014

WIND CHILL ADVISORIES THAT WERE IN EFFECT THIS MORNING HAVE
EITHER BEEN CANCELED OR HAVE EXPIRED. AS OF 10 AM...AMBIENT AIR
TEMPERATURES WERE MODERATING INTO THE ZERO TO MINUS 5 RANGE. WITH
CALM TO VERY LIGHT WINDS...WIND CHILLS HAVE IMPROVED INTO THE 10

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 423 AM CST WED JAN 8 2014

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS ARE ON WIND CHILL VALUES TODAY THROUGH
THURSDAY MORNING. FOCUS THEN TURNS TO A WINTRY MIX OF PRECIPITATION
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT.

LATEST SURFACE OBSERVATIONS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA SHOWED
TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM SINGLE DIGITS BELOW ZERO OVER NORTHEAST
IOWA TO AROUND 20 BELOW OVER PORTIONS OF CENTRAL WISCONSIN. WINDS
WERE LIGHT OUT OF THE WEST...AND EVEN CALM AT TIMES IN SOME AREAS.
THESE LIGHT WEST WINDS WERE PRODUCING WIND CHILL VALUES OF 15 TO 25
BELOW. WILL CONTINUE THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY ACROSS THE ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA THROUGH 9 AM. HAVE MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THE
ADVISORY AFTER 9AM...ENDING IT OVER NORTHEAST IOWA AND FAR SOUTHWEST
WISCONSIN AND CONTINUING IT FOR AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE
90 CORRIDOR THROUGH NOON.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE FORECAST AREA TODAY WITH COLD AND
QUIET WEATHER EXPECTED. HIGHS TODAY WILL RANGE FROM THE AROUND -1
OVER NORTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN TO THE SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE ZERO OVER
NORTHEAST IOWA INTO FAR SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN. THE HIGH WILL SETTLE
DIRECTLY OVER THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT...SETTING THE STAGE FOR
ANOTHER VERY COLD NIGHT. WITH CLEAR SKIES AND CALM WINDS THERE WILL
BE EXCELLENT RADIATIONAL COOLING. THIS WILL LEAD TO LOW TEMPERATURES
PLUMMETING INTO THE TEENS TO 20S BELOW ZERO. FAVORED COLD AREAS
ACROSS CENTRAL INTO NORTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN COULD EVEN DIP TO AROUND
-30. THE HIGH STARTS TO SLIDE EAST OF THE AREA LATE TONIGHT INTO
EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT STARTS TO INCREASE
LATE TONIGHT AS THE HIGH DEPARTS. A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MAY BE
NEEDED AGAIN TONIGHT WITH LIGHT WINDS DEVELOPING. IF THESE LIGHT
WINDS MATERIALIZE...PLAN ON WIND CHILL VALUES OF -15 TO -30.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 423 AM CST WED JAN 8 2014

A TROUGH DIGS INTO THE WESTERN CONUS ON THURSDAY WITH INCREASING
SOUTHERLY FLOW OVER THE FORECAST AREA. THIS WILL HELP TO USHER IN
SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPERATURES...BUT STILL WELL BELOW NORMAL. WARMER
850 MB AIR THEN STARTS TO PUSH INTO THE REGION THURSDAY INTO EARLY
FRIDAY MORNING WITH 850 MB TEMPERATURES GOING FROM -8C EARLY THURSDAY
MORNING TO AROUND 1 C BY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. THIS WARMER AIRMASS
PUSHING INTO THE REGION...ALONG WITH LOW PRESSURE TAKING AIM ON THE
AREA...WILL SET THE STAGE FOR FREEZING DRIZZLE AND POSSIBLY SOME
FOG THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. THE LOW THEN LIFTS INTO
THE AREA LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO FRIDAY EVENING BRINGING A
WINTRY MIX OF FREEZING RAIN...SNOW...AND SLEET WITH IT. THE
NORTHEAST EXTENT OF THE WARM LAYER APPEARS TO RUN ACROSS NORTHEAST
IOWA THROUGH LA CROSSE AND INTO CENTRAL WISCONSIN. THE
PRECIPITATION SHOULD START OUT AS FREEZING DRIZZLE THEN SWITCH
OVER TO SLEET THEN TO SNOW OVER SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA THROUGH NORTH
CENTRAL WISCONSIN. AREAS OVER NORTHEAST IOWA INTO SOUTHWEST AND
CENTRAL WISCONSIN WILL SEE BETTER CHANCES FOR SLEET AND FREEZING
RAIN BEFORE A GRADUALLY SWITCH OVER TO ALL SNOW FRIDAY NIGHT.
TEMPERATURES WARM ABOVE FREEZING FRIDAY AFTERNOON BUT THINKING
WITH THE RECENT ARCTIC AIR OVER THE REGION AND THE WARMER
TEMPERATURES ARRIVING WITH THE PRECIPITATION...ROAD SURFACES WON/T
HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO WARM ABOVE FREEZING BEFORE THE RAIN STARTS
OVER NORTHEAST IOWA INTO SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN. A FEW HUNDREDTHS ICE
ACCUMULATION IS POSSIBLE OVER THESE AREAS BEFORE THE PRECIPITATION
SWITCHES OVER TO SNOW. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 2 TO 3 INCHES APPEAR
POSSIBLE WITH THIS SYSTEM...MAINLY OVER PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST
IOWA...SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA THROUGH NORTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN.

THE STORM SYSTEM WILL EXIT THE REGION LATE SATURDAY MORNING AS A
RIDGE SLIDES OVER THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY. AFTER SOME
MORNING SNOW LINGERING FOR AREAS ALONG AND EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI
RIVER...PLAN ON DECREASING CLOUDS. WARMER TEMPERATURES WILL PREVAIL
OVER THE REGION WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 30S. THE NEXT TROUGH PUSHES
INTO THE REGION SUNDAY INTO SUNDAY NIGHT AND COULD BRING ANOTHER
ROUND OF MIXED PRECIPITATION TO THE AREA. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN
ABOVE NORMAL ON SUNDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE THE MID TO UPPER 30S.
ANOTHER TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO DIVE INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. THIS SYSTEM WILL BRING CHANCES FOR SNOW TO THE
REGION AND COULD DROP TEMPERATURES BACK BELOW NORMAL FOR WEDNESDAY.
