AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
316 AM CST TUE FEB 25 2014

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 315 AM CST TUE FEB 25 2014

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS THIS PACKAGE...COLD TEMPERATURES AND NEED FOR
WIND CHILL HEADLINES TONIGHT.

DATA ANALYSIS AT 06Z HAD COLD...CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
DAKOTAS WITH RIDGING ACROSS IA/IL. WV IMAGERY SHOWED THE SHORTWAVE
NEAR A KDLH-KDBQ LINE MOVING QUICKLY EAST ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST.
AREA RADARS SHOWING THE -SN WEST OF THIS LINE DISSIPATING/ENDING
RATHER QUICKLY EARLY THIS MORNING. TEMPS ACROSS THE AREA AS OF 06Z
MOSTLY IN THE ZERO TO 10F ABOVE RANGE. CLEARING SKIES BEHIND THE
SHORTWAVE ALREADY SPREADING INTO SOUTHWEST MN AND KMSP AREA...WITH
TEMPS FALLING TO ZERO TO -10F RANGE AND WIND CHILLS -15 TO -30.

25.00Z MODELS INITIALIZED QUITE WELL AND OFFER SIMILAR SOLUTIONS FOR
TODAY AND TONIGHT AS THE NEXT ONE DROPS ACROSS THE REGION THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING. TREND FAVORS A TIGHTENING COMPROMISE CONSENSUS
ON THE TIMING/ STRENGTH OF THESE FEATURES. CHECK OF OBS VS. MODEL
DATA AT 06Z SHOWED MODELS TO BE GOOD WITH THE -SN MOVING/
DISSIPATING ACROSS THE AREA EARLY THIS MORNING. PER WV IMAGERY
MODELS APPEARED GOOD WITH THE SHORTWAVE DETAILS OVER NOAM/EASTERN
PAC...WITH NO ONE MODEL LOOKING BETTER THAN THE OTHERS. MODEL 850MB
RH PROGS DOING A DECENT JOB WITH THE DECREASING CLOUDS SPREADING
SOUTHEAST ACROSS MN EARLY THIS MORNING...WHILE ALL MODELS WERE TOO
ROBUST WITH THE POST- TROUGH 925MB MOISTURE ACROSS MUCH OF MN/
NEARBY AREAS. GIVEN THE TIGHT CONSENSUS...FAVORED A MODEL/ENSEMBLE
BLEND WITH SHORT-TERM FCST CONFIDENCE ON THE GOOD SIDE.

FOR THE SHORT TERM...ROUNDS OF LOW LEVEL COLD ADVECTION WILL SPREAD
ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING BEHIND DEPARTING WAVE NUMBER ONE AND
THIS EVENING BEHIND WAVE/TROUGH NUMBER TWO. FOLLOWING SO CLOSELY
BEHIND THE STRONGER WAVE FROM EARLY THIS MORNING...THE SECOND
SHORTWAVE HAS LIMITED MOISTURE ABOVE 850MB TO WORK WITH AND
TODAY/TONIGHT CONTINUE TO TREND DRY. SOME STEEPER LOW LEVEL LAPSE
RATES WITH MIXING TO 900-875MB INDICATED FOR THIS AFTERNOON...ALONG
WITH SOME 925MB MOISTURE. SCT STRATO-CU EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA FOR
THE MID/LATE AFTERNOON HOURS. SOME STRONGER WINDS ACROSS MUCH OF THE
AREA FOR THIS AFTERNOON WITH A TIGHTER PRESSURE GRADIENT AND THE
DEEPER MIXING. CONTINUED THE MENTION OF SOME BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW
ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE OPEN AREAS OF SOUTHEAST MN/NORTHEAST IA.

LOW TEMPS TRICKY TONIGHT. COLDEST OF THE LOW LEVEL AIR MOVES
ACROSS THE FCST AREA AROUND 06Z WITH 925MB TEMPS IN THE -21C TO
-23C RANGE...WITH LOW LEVEL WARM ADVECTION SPREADING INTO THE AREA
BY 12Z. MDT GRADIENT WINDS OF 10-15MPH LOOK TO REMAIN OVER THE
THRU MIDNIGHT...ONLY DIMINISHING LATE AS A WEAK SFC RIDGE AXIS
SLIDES ACROSS THE AREA. MIXED 925MB TEMPS WOULD ONLY SUPPORT LOWS
IN THE ZERO TO -10F RANGE...BUT WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND
POTENTIAL FOR SOME DECOUPLING LATE...LEFT LOWS MOSTLY IN THE -10F
TO -15F RANGE. SUB ZERO TEMPS COMBINED WITH THE WINDS OF 10-15MPH
PRODUCE WIDESPREAD WIND CHILLS IN THE -20 TO -35 RANGE LATE THIS
EVENING THRU MUCH OF WED MORNING THUS WILL BE ISSUED A WIND CHILL
ADVISORY FOR 03Z TO 17Z WED. USED THE BLEND OF GUIDANCE HIGHS/LOWS
FOR TODAY/TONIGHT.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 315 AM CST TUE FEB 25 2014

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...
CONTINUED COLD TEMPERATURES...-SN CHANCES WED AFTERNOON/EVENING.

MODEL RUNS OF 25.00Z REMAIN IN RATHER GOOD AND IMPROVING AGREEMENT
FOR THE WED THRU THU NIGHT PERIOD. TREND IS STRONGER WITH A
SHORTWAVE TROUGH TO DROP ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES WED AFTERNOON/NIGHT
AND DRIVE ANOTHER ARCTIC FRONT SOUTH ACROSS THE REGION. GIVEN THE
TIGHT AND TIGHTENING MODEL CONSENSUS...FCST CONFIDENCE IN THE WED
THRU THU NIGHT PERIOD IS GOOD.

THIS NEXT STRONGER SHORTWAVE TROUGH DROPS SOUTH TOWARD LK SUPERIOR
WED WITH FALLING SFC PRESSURES AND A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT AS
THE SFC TROUGH WITH THE SHORTWAVE MOVES SOUTH INTO THE REGION.
RATHER STRONG 925-850MB WARM ADVECTION SPREADS ACROSS THE FCST
AREA WED WITH 925MB TEMPS WARMING INTO THE -10C TO -14C RANGE BY
LATE AFTERNOON. TIGHTER PRESSURE GRADIENT LOOKS TO RESULT IN WEST
TO SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 15-30MPH AND GUSTY FOR THE
AFTERNOON...RESULTING IN WHAT SHOULD BE GOOD MIXING AND A DIURNAL
TEMP RISE OF AS MUCH AS 30F OR MORE AT SOME LOCATIONS. ENOUGH WIND
FOR BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW AGAIN IN THE OPEN COUNTRY AREAS WED
AFTERNOON/EVENING. WITH DITCHES ALREADY FULL OF DRIFTED
SNOW...SOME ROADS LIKELY TO BE IMPACTED BY ANY DRIFTING WED
AFTERNOON. WIND CHILLS WILL REMAIN IN THE -20 TO -35 RANGE MUCH OF
THE MORNING WITH THE TEMP RISE BEING OFFSET BY THE INCREASING
WINDS. WIND CHILLS DONT LOOK TO RISE ABOVE -20 UNTIL TEMPS WARM TO
AROUND +5F. SOME INCREASE OF 925-700MB MOISTURE INDICATED WITH
APPROACH/PASSING OF THE LOWER LEVEL TROUGH/FRONT WED
AFTERNOON/EVENING. MORE SATURATION INDICATED IN THE COOLER COLUMN
OVER THE NORTHEAST END OF THE FCST AREA AND INCLUDED A SMALL -SN/
FLURRY CHANCE THOSE AREAS WED AFTERNOON/EVENING. ARCTIC AIR SURGES
BACK INTO THE AREA WED NIGHT BEHIND THIS TROUGH/FRONT WITH 925MB
TEMPS BACK IN THE -24C TO -28C RANGE BY 12Z THU. GRADIENT WINDS IN
THE 10-20MPH RANGE WED NIGHT...TO KEEP THE BOUNDARY LAYER MIXED
AND LOWS FROM BOTTOMING OUT TOO FAR...BUT SENDS WIND CHILLS BACK
INTO THE -20 TO -35 RANGE BY 12Z THU WITH ANOTHER WIND CHILL
ADVISORY NEEDED LATE WED NIGHT/THU MORNING.

LOW LEVEL COLD ADVECTION CONTINUES THU WITH LITTLE DIURNAL TEMP
RECOVERY. MIXED 925MB TEMPS ONLY SUPPORT MOST HIGHS IN THE ZERO TO
+5F RANGE THU. CENTER OF THE ARCTIC HIGH SETTLES ACROSS THE AREA THU
NIGHT. SOME 850MB WARM ADVECTION PROGGED TO SPREAD IN LATE THU
NIGHT...BUT STRONG RADIATIONAL COOLING EXPECTED WED NIGHT WITH A
DECOUPLED BOUNDARY LAYER AND CLEAR/MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND THE ARCTIC
AIRMASS OVER THE AREA. SOME LOWS IN THE NORMALLY COLDER SHELTERED
LOCATIONS OF CENTRAL/NORTH CENTRAL WI COULD APPROACH -30F. SOME
INCREASE OF CLOUDS WEST OF THE MS RIVER LATE THU NIGHT MAY KEEP LOWS
A BIT WARMER THERE. ALL IN ALL...FAVORED A BLEND OF THE GUIDANCE
HIGHS/LOWS FOR WED THRU THU NIGHT BUT DID TREND TOWARD COLDER OF
GUIDANCE LOWS THU NIGHT ALONG/NORTHEAST OF I-94.

FOR FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY.../DAYS 4 TO 7/...

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS THIS PERIOD...SNOW CHANCES FRI/SUN/MON...
COLD TEMPERATURES THRU THE PERIOD.

MEDIUM RANGE MODEL RUNS OF 25.00Z IN SURPRISINGLY GOOD AGREEMENT FRI
INTO SAT NIGHT AS THE PATTERN TRANSITIONS TO MORE WESTERLY THRU SAT
THEN TOWARD SOUTHWESTERLY OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS SAT NIGHT. MODEL
DIFFERENCES INCREASE THRU SUN/MON WITH STRENGTH/TIMING OF SHORTWAVE
TROUGHS THRU THE FLOW AND ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS. RUN-TO-RUN
CONSISTENCY ON THE LOWER SIDE BY SUN/MON SO NO ONE MODEL LOOKS
FAVORED OVER THE OTHERS. SIDED WITH THE MODEL/ENSEMBLE CONSENSUS...
WITH FCST CONFIDENCE IN -SN CHANCES AVERAGE FRI/SAT THEN BELOW
AVERAGE SUN/MON. CONFIDENCE IS GOOD FOR TEMPS TO REMAIN BELOW NORMAL.

AN INCREASE OF MOISTURE...FROM THE SYSTEM THAT COMES INTO CA WED/WED
NIGHT...ACCOMPANIES THE LOWER LEVEL WARM ADVECTION THAT SPREADS
ACROSS THE AREA FRI...MORE ROBUST IN THE GFS/CAN-GEM SOLUTIONS. 20-
35 PERCENT -SN CHANCES ACROSS MAINLY THE SOUTH HALF OF THE FCST AREA
ON FRI LOOK REASONABLE. SOME MOISTURE FROM THE SYSTEM THAT CRASHES
ONSHORE INTO CA FRI/FRI NIGHT LOOKS TO OVERRUN THE COLD DOME OVER
THE AREA ALREADY FRI AFTERNOON/NIGHT. SMALL -SN CHANCES THESE
PERIODS ALSO REASONABLE FOR NOW PENDING A BETTER CONSENSUS ON WHAT
ARE DAY 5 DETAILS. BY DAYS 6/7 MODEL DIFFERENCES WOULD HAVE LARGE
IMPACTS ON THE SENSIBLE WEATHER. FASTER ECMWF WOULD LIMIT -SN
CHANCES TO SUN WITH ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING BACK IN FOR MON.
SLOWER GFS WOULD KEEP -SN IN THE FCST BOTH SUN/MON...WITH SOME
MODERATION OF TEMPS THESE PERIODS. AGAIN WITH NO ONE MODEL FAVORITE
AND LOWER CONFIDENCE BY SUN/MON STAYED WITH THE MODEL/ENSEMBLE
CONSENSUS FOR BOTH TEMPS AND -SN CHANCES.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1136 PM CST MON FEB 24 2014

THE LIGHT SNOW WITH THE SHORT WAVE TROUGH HAS BEEN HOLDING TOGETHER
THIS EVENING AND MAKING STEADY EASTWARD PROGRESS. THE VISIBILITY IN
THE SNOW BRIEFLY DROPS DOWN TO MVFR FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS WHILE THE
CEILINGS ARE A LITTLE MORE VARIABLE...EITHER STAYING VFR OR ALSO
DIPPING TO MVFR. WILL SHOW THE SNOW MOVING OUT OF KRST SHORTLY AFTER
06Z AND AROUND 08Z AT KLSE WHICH IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE TRENDS OF
THE LATEST COUPLE RUNS OF THE HRRR WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE A PRETTY GOOD
HANDLE ON THE SNOW. IR SATELLITE SHOWS THE BACK EDGE OF THE CLOUDS
ALREADY ABOUT HALF TO THREE QUARTERS OF THE WAY ACROSS MINNESOTA.
WILL SHOW THE CLOUDS CLEARING OUT OF KRST BEFORE 12Z AND JUST AFTER
AT KLSE...BUT CONCERNED THAT THESE TRENDS COULD BE TOO SLOW. ONCE
THE CLOUDS CLEAR OUT...VFR CONDITIONS FOR THE REST OF THE PERIOD
WITH NORTHWEST WINDS BETWEEN 10 AND 15 KNOTS AS HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES
SOUTHEAST FROM THE CANADIAN ROCKIES INTO THE MIDWEST.
