1100 AM CST Sun Jan 21 2018

...MAJOR WINTER STORM HIGHLY LIKELY MONDAY ACROSS SOUTHERN/
EASTERN MINNESOTA INTO WESTERN WISCONSIN...
...VERY TIGHT SNOWFALL GRADIENT EXPECTED OVER THE METRO SO THE 
WINTER STORM WATCH CONTINUES FOR THE METRO...

.A Blizzard Warning continues from Mankato to the south and west,
including Fairmont and St. James Monday. The Winter Storm Warning
is in effect for the rest of south central Minnesota and most of 
west central Wisconsin. A Winter Storm Watch remains in effect 
from Gaylord through the Twin Cites metro and Balsam Lake as this 
area will be close to a very tight snow gradient.

A strong storm system will bring an area of heavy snow across
south central and east central Minnesota into western Wisconsin
by Monday morning. Snowfall totals of 8 to 14 inches are likely 
by Monday evening in the warning area. Strong winds with gusts up 
to 40 MPH during the heavy snow period will lead to blizzard 
conditions in a portion of south central MN. Farther east, winds 
will be in the 20 to 30 MPH range and cause patchy blowing and 
drifting snow.

A wintry mix with a period of freezing rain is also possible
Monday morning from Albert Lea toward Eau Claire, resulting in
light ice accumulation.

Be prepared for difficult driving conditions if you have travel
plans across central or southern Minnesota and western and
northern Wisconsin. Driving conditions will deteriorate very 
rapidly heading east on I-94 or south on I-35 through the Twin 
Cities Monday.

A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are
expected or occurring. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds
and poor visibilities are likely. This will lead to whiteout
conditions, making travel extremely dangerous. Do not travel. If
you must travel, have a winter survival kit with you.  If you get
stranded, stay with your vehicle. The latest road conditions for
Minnesota can be found at 511mn.org and for Wisconsin at

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1120 PM CST Sat Jan 20 2018

Updated to include 06z aviation discussion below.

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 328 PM CST Sat Jan 20 2018

The short term period is really the calm before the storm. Really
the main question mark during the short term is what happens with
mid/upper clouds tonight. The answer to that will determine
whether or not we have widespread dense fog tonight into Sunday
morning or not. Removing the cloud variable, we have an absolutely
primed environment for dense fog, with calm winds expected and
ample low level moisture from now our 3rd day of melting. However,
RH time heights in BUFKIT show a lot of mid/upper level moisture
hanging around through the night and you can see lots of moisture
on water vapor heading our direction from the trough digging over
the 4- corners region. As a result played the cloud as opposed to
fog route. Looking at layered RH plan views through from the
NAM/GFS, if we have one area that could clear out overnight it's
down along the I-90 corridor. If skies end up being more clear
than what we are currently thinking, then dense fog will be a
serious issue tonight.

Biggest change to the forecast was to go drier. Everything now
pretty much keeps our area dry through 00z Monday, so reduced pops
quite a bit across the board. The two areas to watch though for
precip will be in west central MN and along the I-90 corridor. For
west central MN, there will be an warm frontal FGEN band across
SD Sunday, with the question being how far east does it extend,
most guidance says not into MN, but did leave some small chances
in the west just in case it ends up a bit farther east. For south
central MN, NAM soundings along with hi-res reflectivity forecasts
show a threat of drizzle coming up out of IA and into far
southern MN during the afternoon. Again, doesn't look like
anything big, so just left a small PoP down along I-90. Everywhere
else, it will be dry and we should have no problems once again
warming into the mid/upper 30s.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
Issued at 328 PM CST Sat Jan 20 2018

...MAJOR WINTER STORM NOW HIGHLY LIKELY MONDAY ACROSS SOUTHERN/EASTERN
MINNESOTA INTO WESTERN WISCONSIN...

12Z models have come into very good agreement Sunday night
through Monday night, including ensemble members. Confidence has
increased past 80 percent, therefore Winter Storm Warnings are
being posted for a chunk of the watch area.

The NAM shifted southeast, GFS remained steady, and ECMWF
shifted northwest resulting in very good model consistency today.
This matches very well with GEFS members and its 50-75% chance for
greater than 12 inches from south central MN to west central WI.
Still some minor tweaks are expected, primarily near the edges of
the swath of heavy snow, but confidence is very high for the
general area of heaviest snow stretching from St. James/Mankato
northeast across the southern and eastern Twin Cities metro into
most of west central MN. This area is being upgraded to a warning,
with a watch continuing on the edges where a slight shift one way
or the other may result in large forecast changes.

The biggest uncertainty with this forecast is where the very
tight snowfall gradient will set up. It could be another scenario
where the same county has an inch or two on the northwest side, to
a foot on the southeast side. This issue is not clear and probably
won't be for another day or even until the event begins to
unfold. The 18Z NAM illustrates this point by continuing the shift
to the south and is the sole reason the Twin Cities metro is not
being upgraded at this time. It may be a fluke due to the upper
low temporarily heading due east Sunday night while the other
guidance continues an east northeast track. Essentially all other
guidance brings at a minimum 2/3 inch of QPF to the metro, with
the GEFS mean at one inch (about a foot.) Future shifts will
reassess.

Precipitation will break out over Iowa Sunday evening and slowly
advance northward across southern Minnesota during the late
evening and into western WI/central MN late Sunday night or early
Monday morning. Strong frontogenesis will focus a band of intense
snowfall with rates of an inch to inch and a half per hour from
south central MN to west central WI Monday. We could see 8 to 12
inches on Monday alone in this area. There is still a possibility
of a wintry mix from near Albert Lea to Eau Claire, but the column
has cooled a bit from the previous forecast resulting in more
snow. The snow will wind down from southwest to northeast Monday
evening.

The final concern is whether wind will be strong enough for
blizzard conditions being met. Forecast soundings don't appear
mixed enough for excessive wind gusts, but this could be due to
the model precipitating. Visibility will likely be at or below 1/4
mile due to heavy snow for much of the day in the warning area, so
if we can get 35 mph sustained winds or gusts an upgrade to a
Blizzard Warning will be necessary. The best chance of this
happening is in the open areas of south central MN.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday night)
Issued at 1120 PM CST Sat Jan 20 2018

High ceilings look to remain fairly stoic through the overnight
period into much of tomorrow in advance of the potent winter storm
expected to strongly impact the region Sunday night through
Monday. The consequence of the high clouds tonight will be to
prevent fog development to a more widespread degree, despite winds
going calm and warm air resident over residual snowpack.
Additional moisture will begin to stream in from the Deep South
ahead of the storm system but while this is mainly taking the
form of the high clouds, there still will be patches of MVFR
visibility in MN with MVFR-IFR potentially at the WI TAF sites.
The high clouds will then steadily lower during the day tomorrow,
resulting in MVFR to IFR ceilings tomorrow evening. Except for
KMSP which covers 30 hours, it is still too early to mention
precipitation at this point as chances won't increase until after
06z tomorrow night. Winds will be fairly light out of the north,
if not calm, overnight before becoming northeast 5-10 kt tomorrow.

KMSP...Will maintain VFR conditions through tomorrow afternoon as
high clouds lower to mid-levels. Cannot rule out MVFR-IFR fog
close to daybreak Sunday morning so with winds going calm, have
added a mention of MVFR visibility around 12z. Ceilings will
lower to MVFR then IFR levels tomorrow evening in advance of the
strong winter storm system. Conditions will deteriorate further
beyond 06z tomorrow evening, including the commencement of light-
moderate snow along with increasing winds, making for a difficult
Monday morning push.

/OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/
Mon...IFR/LIFR with +SN/BLSN. Several inches of snow likely.
Winds N 15-25 kts gusting to 30 kts.
Tue...Mainly VFR. Winds NW 5-10 kts.
Wed...Mainly MVFR with a chance of IFR cigs. Winds 5 kts or less.
