AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
243 PM CST SUN DEC 27 2015
.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 243 PM CST SUN DEC 27 2015
THE REGION WILL TAKE A DIRECT HIT FROM THE SYSTEM COMING UP OUT OF
WEST TEXAS. THE 27.12Z MODELS ARE ALL IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE
HANDLING OF THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW PATTERN. RIDGING WILL REMAIN
ALONG THE EAST COAST INTO THE ATLANTIC INTO MONDAY NIGHT WHILE THE
NEXT SHORT WAVE DIVES DOWN THE WESTERN SPINE OF THE ROCKIES TOWARD
THE DESERT SOUTHWEST. THIS WILL CAUSE THE WEST TEXAS SYSTEM TO
LIFT NORTH/NORTHEAST TOWARD THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES COMING FROM
SOUTHWEST MISSOURI MONDAY MORNING REACHING NORTHEAST WISCONSIN BY
TUESDAY MORNING. STRONG UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE WILL SPREAD IN
AHEAD OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW AND FROM THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF THE
UPPER LEVEL JET LATE MONDAY MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON FOLLOWED BY
STRONG PV ADVECTION IN THE 500-300 MB LAYER MONDAY NIGHT. THE QG
CONVERGENCE LOOKS TO BE MODERATE IN STRENGTH AND IN A DEEP
LAYER...1000 TO 300 MB...MONDAY BEFORE DIMINISHING TO WEAK IN THE
1000-700 MB LAYER MONDAY NIGHT. THE ISENTROPIC UP GLIDE REALLY
GETS GOING MONDAY AFTERNOON AND CONTINUES INTO THE EVENING WITH UP
TO 7 UBAR/S ON THE 280K SURFACE. SO THE CONCERN DOES NOT BECOME IF
IT IS GOING TO PRECIPITATE...BUT WHAT TYPE IT WILL BE.
THE 27.12Z NAM AND ECMWF HAVE REMAINED CONSISTENT ON TAKING THE
SURFACE LOW ON A FARTHER WESTWARD TRACK THAN THE GFS. THE
NAM/ECMWF TRACK BRINGS THE SURFACE LOW UP THROUGH EASTERN IOWA AND
THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA WHILE THE GFS TAKES IT
FROM SAINT LOUIS TOWARD CHICAGO. THESE DIFFERENCES HAVE A BIG
IMPACT ON HOW MUCH WARM AIR ALOFT GETS WRAPPED NORTH AROUND THE
LOW AND INTO THE AREA. IT SEEMS THE FARTHER WEST TRACK IS
REASONABLE AS THE BEST LOW LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE IS BACK ACROSS
IOWA INTO MINNESOTA AND WISCONSIN AND NOT FARTHER EAST. WHILE THE
NAM IS LIKELY BRINGING IN TOO MUCH WARM AIR OVER THE AREA...FEEL
IT HAS THE CORRECT IDEA AND HAVE BROUGHT IN ENOUGH WARM AIR FOR
THE POTENTIAL OF SLEET OVER ABOUT THE SOUTHEAST THIRD OF THE AREA
WITH SOME FREEZING RAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS THE FAR SOUTH. THE STRONG
FORCING SHOULD ALSO GIVE GOOD LIFT THROUGH THE DENDRITIC GROWTH
ZONES FOR DECENT SNOW RATIOS IN THE AREA WHERE STAYS PRIMARILY
SNOW. THE COBB OUTPUT FROM THE NAM/GFS AND 27.09Z SREF ARE ALL IN
THE 10-12 TO 1 RATIOS ACROSS THE WEST AND HAVE INCREASED CLOSE TO
THOSE VALUES. THIS CAUSES THE SNOW AMOUNTS TO GO UP THERE WITH
STORM TOTAL AMOUNTS NOW CLOSE TO 10 INCHES ACROSS THE WEST TAPERING
DOWN TO ABOUT 6 INCHES FROM OELWEIN TO NECEDAH. FARTHER TO THE
SOUTHEAST...THE SNOW AMOUNTS GO DOWN INTO THE 4 TO 5 INCH
RANGE...BUT THIS IS WHERE THE BEST CHANCES FOR THE SLEET AND
FREEZING RAIN WILL BE. IF THE NAM IS CORRECT WITH THE WARM
LAYER...SLEET WOULD STILL BE A POSSIBILITY ACROSS THE SOUTH AS THE
COLD LAYER BENEATH THE WARM AIR ALOFT LOOKS TO BE DEEP ENOUGH FOR
THE POTENTIAL OF REFREEZE. TOTAL SLEET ACCUMULATIONS OF A HALF TO
ONE INCH WILL BE POSSIBLE SOUTHEAST OF A KOLZ TO KY51 LINE WITH
THE ONE INCH AMOUNTS ACROSS SOUTHERN GRANT COUNTY. THE GREATEST
ICE ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE A LITTLE FARTHER SOUTHEAST...GENERALLY
FROM SOUTHWEST FAYETTE COUNTY OVER TO NORTHERN RICHLAND COUNTY AND
POINTS SOUTH WITH AMOUNTS OF 1 TO 2 TENTHS OF AN INCH. BASED ON
THIS...WILL UPGRADE THE WATCH TO A WARNING FOR THE ENTIRE AREA.
THE START TIMES OF THE WARNINGS WILL BE 15Z MONDAY ACROSS THE
SOUTH...18Z IN THE INTERSTATE 90 CORRIDOR AND 21Z NORTH OF
INTERSTATE 94.
.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 243 PM CST SUN DEC 27 2015
THE SECOND SYSTEM WILL KICK OUT AND COME ACROSS THE MIDWEST
WEDNESDAY. THE CONSENSUS IS THAT THIS WAVE SHOULD PASS TO THE
SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA TAKING THE BEST LIFT INTO THE OHIO RIVER
VALLEY. WILL MAINTAIN SOME SMALL SNOW CHANCES FOR THIS SYSTEM
PASSING BY WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT. AFTER THAT...THE
REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD LOOKS TO BE QUIET WITH RIDGING BUILDING IN
BOTH ALOFT AND AT THE SURFACE.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1145 AM CST SUN DEC 27 2015
TAFS ARE ON AN IMPROVING TREND TODAY AS COLD AIR MOVES INTO THE
AREA. A MAJOR WINTER STORM WILL RAPIDLY AFFECT THE TAF SITES
AFTER THE 18Z MONDAY TAF END TIME. DONT BE FOOLED BY THE VFR
CONDITIONS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY...THESE WILL LIKELY CHANGE RADICALLY
TO IFR IN THE 18-21Z TIME FRAME AS HEAVY PRECIPITATION MOVES IN
AND WINDS GUST TO 30 KTS. SNOW AND SLEET ARE THE MOST LIKELY
PRECIPITATION TYPE.
FOR AIRPORT MANAGERS...THE HIGHEST ACCUMULATION RATE WILL OCCUR
FROM 3 PM TO 9 PM MONDAY...SNOW WILL CONTINUE TO ACCUMULATE
OVERNIGHT. SOME FREEZING DRIZZLE MAY OCCUR LATER MONDAY NIGHT.
