AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
1146 AM CST WED FEB 26 2014

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 340 AM CST WED FEB 26 2014

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS THIS PACKAGE...WINDS/BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW
THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING...WIND CHILLS THRU THE PERIOD.

06Z DATA ANALYSIS HAD ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER NEB AND
COVERING MUCH OF THE CENTRAL CONUS. UPPER MIDWEST WAS ON THE
NORTHEAST SIDE OF THIS HIGH WITH A MDT PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE
REGION. WITH TEMPS FALLING INTO THE ZERO TO -10F RANGE AND WEST TO
NORTHWEST WINDS OF 10 TO 20 MPH WERE PRODUCING WIND CHILLS OF -15 TO
-30 ACROSS MUCH OF MN/IA/WI EARLY THIS MORNING. STRONG PRESSURE
FALLS WITH THE NEXT SYSTEM ALREADY SPREADING ACROSS MN AND NEARBY
AREAS.

26.00Z MODELS LOOK TO HAVE INITIALIZED WELL AND OFFER QUITE SIMILAR
SOLUTIONS FOR TODAY/TONIGHT AS THE NEXT SHORTWAVE DROPS ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES AND DRAGS ANOTHER ARCTIC COLD FRONT THRU THE REGION.
TREND CONTINUES A BIT STRONGER WITH THE SHORTWAVE TROUGH TO DROP
ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. CHECK OF OBS VS.
MODEL DATA AT 06Z SHOWED ALL TO BE REASONABLE WITH THE ARCTIC HIGH
SPRAWLED ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS. PER WV IMAGERY...MODELS ALL LOOK
QUITE GOOD WITH THE SHORTWAVE DETAILS OVER NOAM AND EVEN IN THE
COMPLEX ENERGY IN THE LARGE TROUGH APPROACHING THE WEST COAST. GIVEN
THE TIGHT MODEL CONSENSUS AND ALL LOOKING GOOD AT 06Z...SHORT TERM
FCST CONFIDENCE IS GOOD THIS CYCLE.

IN THE SHORT TERM...WIND CHILL ADVISORY THROUGH MID MORNING LOOKS
GOOD WITH TEMPS FALLING BELOW ZERO AND GRADIENT WINDS REMAINING IN
THE 5 TO 15 MPH.

SFC TROUGH/COLD FRONT WITH THE LOW/SHORTWAVE TO DROP ACROSS THE
GREAT LAKES THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING PUSHES THRU THE FCST AREA DURING
THE LATE AFTERNOON THRU MID EVENING HOURS. PRESSURE GRADIENT
TIGHTENS AHEAD OF THIS FRONT WITH SOUTHWEST TO WEST WINDS INCREASING
INTO THE 15-30 MPH RANGE FOR THE AFTERNOON...THEN SWINGING TO THE
NORTHWEST BEHIND THE FRONT FOR TONIGHT AND REMAINING IN THE 15-30
MPH RANGE. MODEL SOUNDING SHOWING MIXING TO AROUND 900MB...WITH 35-
40KTS OF WIND NEAR THE TOP OF THE MIXED LAYER. MIXING DEPTH
INCREASES TONIGHT WITH STRONG 925-850MB BEHIND THE FRONT. GIVEN THE
STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS THIS AFTERNOON/MUCH OF TONIGHT...EXPANDED THE
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THE BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW TO INCLUDE THE
OPEN COUNTRY AREAS OF NORTHEAST IA...AND NORTH-CENTRAL WI WHERE SNOW
DEPTHS ARE IN THE 18-24 INCH RANGE WITH PLENTY OF OPEN COUNTRY
ACROSS SOUTHERN TAYLOR AND NORTH HALF OF CLARK COUNTIES.

WILL HAVE TO WATCH PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST IA/SOUTHEAST MN FOR
POTENTIAL FOR WINTER STORM/BLIZZARD WARNING CRITERIA WITH THE
STRONG/GUSTY WINDS. GOING AGAINST THIS IS THE SNOW-PACK ACROSS THESE
AREAS IS PLENTY BLOWN/DRIFTED FROM LAST FRI/FRI NIGHT AND HAS HAD 4
DAYS TO SETTLE/COMPACT. NEW SNOW FROM MON NIGHT WAS GENERALLY 1/10
INCH OR LESS...SO LEFT THE BLOWING/DRIFTING SNOW HEADLINE FOR THESE
AREAS AS ADVISORY FOR NOW.

STRONGER PASSING MID LEVEL TROUGH/SHORTWAVE SPREADS A BIT MORE
FORCING/LIFT ACROSS THE NORTHEAST END OF THE FCST AREA LATE THIS
AFTERNOON/EARLY THIS EVENING. THIS WITH MODEL SOUNDINGS/X-SECTIONS
SHOWING DECENT SATURATION IN THE SFC-700MB LAYER WITH/JUST BEHIND
THE SFC-700MB TROUGH. CONTINUED THE 30-70 PERCENT -SN CHANCES MAINLY
ALONG/NORTHEAST OF I-94 WITH THE TROUGH/FRONTAL PASSAGE LATE THIS
AFTERNOON/EARLY THIS EVENING. ANY SNOW AMOUNTS HERE LOOK TO BE
MINOR...BUT WILL SUBJECT BLOWING/DRIFTING WITH THE STRONG/GUSTY
NORTHWEST WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT TONIGHT.

WITH YET ANOTHER SHOT OF ARCTIC AIR BEHIND THE FRONT FOR LATER
TONIGHT AND THE BRISK WINDS...ANOTHER WIND CHILL ADVISORY WILL BE
NEED FOR THE AREA LATE TONIGHT WELL INTO THU AS WIND CHILLS AGAIN
DROP INTO THE -20 TO -35 RANGE. WITH 2 HEADLINES ALREADY OUT AND PER
COORD WITH NEIGHBORS...WILL NOT BE ISSUING A WIND CHILL ADVISORY FOR
LATE TONIGHT THRU THU MORNING AT THIS TIME. USED THE MODEL/ENSEMBLE
CONSENSUS FOR HIGHS/LOWS TODAY/TONIGHT.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 340 AM CST WED FEB 26 2014

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS FOR THU THRU FRI NIGHT...WIND CHILLS THRU THE
PERIOD...SNOW CHANCES FRIDAY.

26.00Z MODELS IN GOOD AND IMPROVING AGREEMENT FOR THU THRU FRI NIGHT
AS THE FLOW TRANSITIONS TO WESTERLY AND NORTHERN/SOUTHERN STREAM
SHORTWAVE TEAM UP TO SPREAD SOME MOISTURE/LIFT ACROSS THE AREA
FRI/FRI NIGHT. SOME DETAIL DIFFERENCES BY FRI/SAT...MAINLY WITH QPF
PRODUCTION ACROSS MN/IA/WI FRI/FRI NIGHT...BUT FCST CONFIDENCE IN
THE THU-FRI NIGHT PERIOD IS GOOD THIS CYCLE.

COLD BUT QUIET WEATHER THU/THU NIGHT AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT
RELAXES WITH THE CENTER OF THE ARCTIC HIGH DRIFTING ACROSS THE AREA
THU AFTERNOON/EVENING. A VERY COLD DAY THU...WITH HIGHS SOME
LOCATIONS STRUGGLING TO RISE ABOVE ZERO. MODELS HAVE TRENDED FASTER
WITH THE CENTER OF THE HIGH MOVING EAST OF THE AREA THU NIGHT. SOME
INCREASE OF WINDS NOW EXPECTED WEST OF THE MS RIVER AFTER MIDNIGHT
THU NIGHT...ALONG WITH AN INCREASE OF HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE/CLOUDS.
LOWS WEST OF THE MS RIVER LOOKING TO BE AROUND MIDNIGHT WITH SLOWLY
RISING TEMPS FOR THE LATE NIGHT HOURS. BOUNDARY LAYER OVER THE EAST
SIDE OF THE FCST AREA LOOKS TO STAY DECOUPLED/MOSTLY CLEAR THE
LONGEST...WITH LOWS IN THE COLDER LOW LAYING AREAS STILL HEADED INTO
THE -25F TO -30F RANGE ON THE LAST DAY OF FEB.

A SHORTWAVE TRACKING ACROSS THE MID MS VALLEY AND ONE NEAR THE
US/CAN BORDER BRING A MDT/STRONG SFC-700MB TROUGH AND 925-700MB WARM
ADVECTION/ISENTROPIC LIFT ACROSS THE AREA CENTERED ON FRI AFTERNOON.
FORCING/LIFT SIGNAL AMONG THE MODELS QUITE SIMILAR WITH DIFFERENCES
RELATED TO HOW MUCH OF THE MOISTURE WITH THE SYSTEM MOVING INTO CA
THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING GETS DRAWN NORTHWARD OVER THE AREA AND INTO
THE SYSTEM. NAM/CAN-GEM BRING IN MORE OF THIS MOISTURE WHILE
GFS/ECMWF ON THE DRIER SIDE BUT STILL PRODUCE SOME SNOW OVER THE
AREA. RAISED SNOW CHANCES CENTERED ON FRI AFTERNOON INTO THE 60-80
PERCENT RANGE. FOR NOW CARRIED SNOW TOTALS OF 1 TO 4 INCHES IN THE
FRI THRU FRI NIGHT PERIOD. LOWER CONFIDENCE IN THE SNOW TOTALS WITH
THIS SYSTEM AS SREF MEMBERS SHOW CONSIDERABLE SPREAD...RANGING FROM
ZERO TO 12 INCHES OF SNOW AT KLSE. ONCE MODEL SPREAD WITH THE
MOISTURE/QPF DETAILS SETTLES DOWN...MAY NEED A WINTER STORM WATCH
FOR PORTIONS OF THE FCST AREA FRI/FRI NIGHT. GENERALLY USED A BLEND
OF THE GUIDANCE FOR HIGHS/LOWS THU THRU FRI NIGHT BUT CONTINUED TO
LEAN TOWARD COLDER OF GUIDANCE LOWS THU NIGHT.

FOR SATURDAY THRU TUESDAY.../DAYS 4 OT 7/...

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS THIS PERIOD...SNOW CHANCES SAT AFTERNOON/
EVENING...CONTINUED COLD TEMPERATURES.

26.00Z MEDIUM RANGE MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT SAT AS TROUGHING THE
FLOW ALOFT OVER THE AREA BECOMES WEST TO SOUTHWEST AHEAD OF
STRONGER TROUGHING MOVING INTO THE ROCKIES. MODEST AGREEMENT YET
SUNDAY AS THIS TROUGHING MOVES INTO/ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS.
PLENTY OF DETAIL DIFFERENCES WITH TIMING/STRENGTH OF SHORTWAVE
FEATURES THRU THE FLOW AND ACROSS THE NORTHERN CONUS BY MON/TUE.
GIVEN THE BUSY-NESS OF THE TODAY THRU FRI NIGHT PERIOD...NOT A LOT
TIME SPENT WITH DAYS 4-7 BUT CONFIDENCE APPEARS AVERAGE SAT/SUN
THEN BELOW AVERAGE MON/TUE.

LARGE/COLD CANADIAN/ARCTIC HIGH REMAINS OVER THE CENTRAL/NORTH-
CENTRAL CONUS SAT/SUN...NOT MIMICKING WHAT IS GOING ON ALOFT OVER THE
CENTRAL CONUS. HOWEVER THE COLD DOME OF THE HIGH PRESSURE PROVIDES
ISENTROPIC SURFACES FOR MOISTURE COMING OUT OF THE SYSTEM SPREADING
INTO CA FRI/FRI NIGHT TO BE LIFTED OVER AS THIS MOISTURE MOVES
ACROSS THE MID SECTION OF THE COUNTRY. SURPRISING MODEL CONSENSUS
FOR THIS MOISTURE/LIFT TO PRODUCE A BAND OF ACCUMULATING SNOW ACROSS
MAINLY THE SOUTH 1/2 OF THE FCST AREA SAT AFTERNOON/EVENING. RAISED
SNOW CHANCES A BIT SAT/SAT NIGHT. GIVEN THE INCREASING MODEL DETAIL
DIFFERENCES THRU SUN INTO MON...NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO DISCOUNT
THE SMALL LINGERING -SN CHANCES THESE DAYS. THRU IT ALL...THE UPPER
MIDWEST REMAINS DOMINATED BY THE COLD SFC HIGH INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
CONFIDENCE AGAIN REMAINS GOOD FOR BELOW TO MUCH BELOW NORMAL TEMPS
IN THE DAY 4-7 PERIOD.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1143 AM CST WED FEB 26 2014

MAIN AVIATION FORECAST CONCERNS THROUGH THE PERIOD ARE THE
INCREASING WINDS AT BOTH RST AND LSE TAF SITES THIS AFTERNOON INTO
TONIGHT. LATEST SURFACE PLOT SHOWS PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENING
ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA OUT AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT OVER EXTREME
NORTHWEST MINNESOTA AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. WINDS THIS AFTERNOON
WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE FROM THE SOUTHWEST AT BOTH TAF
SITES...WITH SUSTAINED WINDS OF 15 TO 20 KNOTS AND GUSTS OF 25 UP
TO 30 KNOTS. THIS WILL CAUSE SOME DRIFTING OR BLOWING SNOW AT RST
BY 21Z WEDNESDAY AND POSSIBLY REDUCTION IN VISIBILITY BELOW 5
MILES. A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS AROUND 00Z
THURSDAY AT BOTH TAF SITES AND CHANGE WIND DIRECTION TO THE
NORTHWEST. THE STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT...AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS TIGHT BEHIND THE FRONT. WINDS COULD GUST
AS HIGH AS 40 KNOTS AT RST AND UP TO 35 KNOTS AT LSE THIS EVENING.
THE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW COULD REDUCE VISIBILITY DOWN BELOW
THREE MILES AT TIMES AT RST BETWEEN 00-05Z THURSDAY. FOR NOW HAVE
INTRODUCED MARGINAL MVFR VISIBILITY RESTRICTION AT RST THIS
EVENING. WITH THE COLD FRONT PASSAGE...THE LATEST 26.12Z MODELS
ARE HINTING OF A FEW HOURS OF MVFR CEILING CONDITIONS AT BOTH RST
AND LSE THIS EVENING. HAVE LEFT THIS MVFR CEILING CONDITION AT
BOTH TAF SITES.
