252 WWUS43 KARX 230856 WSWARX URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service La Crosse WI 256 AM CST Sat Feb 23 2019 ...Dangerous Storm Tonight...Blizzard Conditions For Some... .A dangerous winter storm will bring heavy snow and very strong winds to the region tonight, persisting into Sunday. The worst conditions, and potentially life threatening, will be across parts of southeast Minnesota and northeast Iowa where the mix of snow and wind will result in blizzard conditions. The heart of the storm moves in by early evening, transitioning from rain to snow from west to east. The heavy snow axis is currently expected to setup from around Austin and Rochester Minnesota to Medford Wisconsin. Amounts from 8 to 12 inches are possible, tapering off west and east of there. 1-2 inch per hour snowfall rates will be common tonight. Winds will be on the increase from the northwest overnight, sustained from 20 to 35 mph with gusts upwards of 45 to 50. White-out conditions are expected for open and unsheltered areas of southeast Minnesota and northeast Iowa overnight through parts of Sunday. Localized white-out conditions can be expected in other wind prone areas, including ridge-tops. While the bulk of the snow will have fallen by mid morning Sunday, the strong winds will continue the dangerous conditions (blowing, drifting, severe reductions to visibilities) through the afternoon. Travel will quickly become treacherous tonight and potentially impossible for some. Road closures are likely in areas impacted by the blizzard conditions. Travel is not recommended tonight in these areas. Plan now for the wintry conditions. Adjust or cancel travel plans if possible.

The bulk of the accumulating snow will shift into the Interstate 94 corridor northward around 6 am, gradually shifting to the north by noon. Meanwhile, northwest winds will continue to increase through the morning. Gusts from 45 to 55 mph will be common, potentially higher. Where the heavy snow has fallen, or there is an appreciable snow pack, the winds will blow and drift the snow. Severely reduced visibilities to white-out conditions will be common in open and unsheltered areas.

Wind gusts have nearly reached 60 mph in parts of southeast Minnesota leading to even worse drifting and blowing snow. Many roads are closed and travel is not advised. Those that do venture out have been getting stuck and rescued. Elsewhere travel is also difficult to dangerous. Lots of blowing snow has been reported in northeast Iowa, and north central Wisconsin, where people claim they are experiencing white outs in open country. Blizzard conditions will continue across most of the area this afternoon, with frequent wind gusts of 40 to 55 mph. This will lead to very low visibilities in blowing and drifting snow. State transportation departments recommend NO travel across most of northeast Iowa, southeast Minnesota into portions of northwest Wisconsin. Do NOT travel in these areas unless of dire emergency. If you do, and get stuck - emergency services may not be able to reach you for a long time. Stay in your vehicle. In addition, the winds could cause tree damage and possibly power outages.

760 WWUS43 KARX 241945 WSWARX URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service La Crosse WI 145 PM CST Sun Feb 24 2019 ...Dangerous Blizzard Conditions Continue... ...Impact Will Last Into Tonight... ...Warnings Extended... .Given the tremendous high impact of this blizzard, including road closures, rescues, and strong winds, the blizzard warning will be extended into the evening hours. Winds will begin to diminish this evening, but impact will last well into tonight and Monday morning. Travel around the region remains very difficult to impossible due to heavy snow and strong winds. Wind gusts have nearly reached 60 mph in parts of southeast Minnesota leading to even worse drifting and blowing snow. Many roads are closed and travel is not advised. Those that do venture out have been getting stuck and rescued. Elsewhere travel is also difficult to dangerous. Lots of blowing snow has been reported in northeast Iowa, and north central Wisconsin, where people claim they are experiencing white outs in open country. Blizzard conditions will continue across most of the area this afternoon, with frequent wind gusts of 40 to 55 mph. This will lead to very low visibilities in blowing and drifting snow. State transportation departments recommend NO travel across most of northeast Iowa, southeast Minnesota into portions of northwest Wisconsin. Do NOT travel in these areas unless of dire emergency. If you do, and get stuck - emergency services may not be able to reach you for a long time. Stay in your vehicle. In addition, the winds could cause tree damage and possibly power outages.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
230 AM CST Sat Feb 23 2019
.SHORT TERM...(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 230 AM CST Sat Feb 23 2019
This winter storm is quickly moving from strong to serious...to
possibly life threatening. Don't treat this storm like all the
others so far this winter. Not in terms of snowfall, but the impacts
of wind on what falls, and what is already on the ground.
FIRST THIS MORNING: wintry mix this morning mostly driven by warm
air advection and a bit of shortwave energy. Freezing rain is the
biggest concern, especially across the south with accums around 1/10
of an inch still expected there. Winter Weather Adv is in effect to
account for the travel concerns from the mix pcpn through mid to
late morning.
TONIGHT...
FORCING: tons. Talked about this a lot that past several days, but
shortwave trough lifts out of the desert southwest today, driving
northeast across the western great lakes overnight tonight. Closed
low with a negative tilt as it deepens/strengthens as it rolls
through the region. Accompany sfc low could drop as much as 20 mb in
24 hours, still on track to slide across eastern IA this evening to
across eastern WI overnight. Strong, sloping (almost vertical at
times) frontogenetic forcing indicated in northwest-southeast
running x-sections, with -EPV running across that in the evening,
suggesting enhanced banding. Then to top it off, roughly 130kt 300
mb jet will deepen the lift this evening as it moves this system
rapidly through the region.
TIMING: after a brief break from the pcpn early this afternoon
(perhaps some light pcpn, drizzle hanging around), the main brunt of
this next winter storms will start to move into northeast IA between
22-00z, spreading quickly northeast. Highest qpf/heaviest pcpn per
meso models should roll in starting 03z, persisting through 12z.
Generally only light pcpn is expected Sun morning as the storm
continues its rapid exit northeast.
PCPN TYPES/AMOUNTS: strong warming associated with this storm, and
most areas will start out as a rain as it moves in. Should be a
quick transition to snow in the west while mainly rain holds in the
east/southeast for the better part of this evening. Look for a strip
of wintry mix in between these. Warmer air will exit overnight with
a transition to snow for those locations.
For amounts, heavy snow axis currently forecast to hold from around
Austin and Rochester MN northeast to Medford WI- 8 to 12". Amounts
taper off moving west/east of there. Some hints in a few short term
models that this axis could shift a bit east, a lot depending on how
much warm air can work west and track of the low. A close eye will
be kept on these trends and adjustments made to the forecast as/if
needed.
WIND: very tight sfc pressure gradient accompanies the storm as it
moves in, strongest on the backside of the low overnight tonight
through the bulk of Sunday. Pressure gradient magnitudes in the
RAP/GFS/NAM all suggest 50-55kt gusts are possible in the wind prone
areas west of the Mississippi River. Bufkit soundings not nearly as
bullish but still would bring upwards of +40 kts to the sfc -
especially overnight thru Sun morning. Sustained winds around 30 mph
look easily attainable for southeast MN/northeast IA.
This will move snow, even a "wetter" snow or lower accumulations.
That said, an icy crust on the snow pack is a concern, with recent
melt plus freezing from the rain/freezing rain this morning. Still,
an awful lot of wind, and falling temps on Sun will help (drying
snow a bit) - it should still move pretty easily. Blizzard to near-
blizzard conditions look likely with this setup with whiteouts in
rural areas and the (high) potential for road closures overnight
into Sun morning. These impacts take on an even greater magnitude
during the dark hours.
Elsewhere, winds will be high and blow/drifting in open areas
(especially ridge-tops) will make for very difficult to
impossible travel.
THUNDER: yes. RAP 0-4KM MUCAPE upwards of 750 J/kg across northeast
IA into southwest/central WI between 21-04z. Mostly in the warm,
liquid sector of the storm. Should be a decent shot for
isolated/scattered thunder. If some of that instability shifts just a
bit more west/northwest - thunder snow (or sleet) would likely.
HEADLINES: going to go with a Blizzard warning for the wind prone
locations of southeast MN and northeast IA. It's also the
climatological favored area for blizzards locally. Elsewhere, will
use a mix of winter storm warnings and adv to account for the snow
and wind. Can't rule out an upgrade to Blizzard or warnings in some
areas - stay tuned.
.LONG TERM...(Monday through Friday)
Issued at 230 AM CST Sat Feb 23 2019
Models continue in good agreement with a shift to a mostly zonal
flow a loft for the new work week. A cold start to the week with
cold, Canadian dropping southward post this weekend's winter storm,
but the cold doesn't hang around too long. Temps should moderate
closer to the late Feb normals by mid/late week.
As for pcpn chances, if you want a break from the snow you will
prefer the EC. It continues to favor a dry forecast, with only a
somewhat weak ripple in the flow to bring minor snow chances Tue
night/Wed. Aside from that, it looks dry until the weekend. The GFS,
meanwhile, is considerably stronger with that early week system -
and also starts to bring it in earlier (starting Tue). Accums would
be higher in this solution. Perhaps another weak wave could bring
light snow chances before the work week ends, and then the GFS
points to a much stronger shortwave trough for the weekend. Overall,
confidence with the shortwave strength/timing/impacts relatively
low. Will let blends dictate chances for now.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Saturday night)
Issued at 1130 PM CST Fri Feb 22 2019
First round of precipitation continues to spread north quickly at
this late evening hour, with snow (mixing with sleet and
potentially some freezing rain) arriving at LSE and RST by 06-07Z.
That messy mix should then depart/transition over to some light
freezing drizzle for a few hours into mid morning, as ceilings
take a dive to IFR or even LIFR levels for many areas. Those lower
ceilings will stick around into late afternoon and evening, as
snow quickly develops at RST into early evening, while LSE likely
sees rain and probably a few thunderstorms transition to snow by
04-06Z. Timing of that changeover is subject to change, of course,
but it continues to appear that both LSE and RST will see a period
of heavy snow through the evening hours, while winds starting to
increase from the north late. Looking just beyond 06Z Sunday,
northwest winds will rapidly increase to 25-30 knots, with gusts
of 40-45+ knots expected, likely producing blowing/drifting snow,
potentially even at LSE for a few hours. Needless to say,
significant impacts to airport operations are expected.
