...Strong Winds And Some Snow Showers This Afternoon...

.Strong southwest winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 45 mph. Also,
snow showers are expected at times this afternoon. The 
combination of strong winds and the snow showers could reduce the

strong wind gusts and reduced visibility. Those driving high 
profile and lightweight vehicles in open areas will be the most 
impacted by the strong winds.

Area Forecast Discussion

634 AM CDT Sat Oct 12 2019

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Monday)
Issued at 303 AM CDT Sat Oct 12 2019

Ready or not...conditions more fitting of early winter will stick
around through the weekend. The culprit? An impressive closed low
meandering across far northern Minnesota, circulating bouts of quite
chilly air aloft in our direction. That feature will gradually
wobble eastward the next 24 hours before eventually getting nudged
northeastward into central Ontario by Monday, in response to
additional shortwave energy working through the western CONUS. A
quick peek as satellite trends shows some clearing working in south
of I-90 the past few hours, allowing temperatures to dive near or
below freezing in many areas despite persistent gustiness in the
stronger gradient. Meanwhile, farther north, occasional snow showers
and flurries continue with a bout of deeper moisture wrapping
through those areas.

A more notable axis of deeper moisture is analyzed wrapping
southward into northeastern South Dakota as of 06Z, tied to a
notable (albeit weakening) TROWAL feature and stronger frontogenetic
forcing. That axis of stronger forcing is well-advertised by much of
the shorter term guidance to wrap southeastward in our direction by
midday and into early evening, with hints of a rather robust period
of deep layer isentropic upglide and stronger FGEN tracking through
much of the area. Given the setup, continue to believe a period of
widespread precipitation is likely for many areas, most likely in
the form of snow in heavier bursts but perhaps mixed with rain in
some of the river valleys with boundary layer temps reaching toward
the lower 40s. With that said, can't at all rule out some light
accumulation on the grass under any more persistent or heavier
bands of snow.

Stronger forcing quickly departs this evening, leaving just some
occasional flurries or lighter snow showers, particularly north of
I-90 where moisture depth is greatest. Things may "flare up" a
bit more in those same areas into Sunday afternoon beneath a
corridor of steeper low/mid level lapse rates before subsiding
into Sunday evening/night with loss of deeper moisture once again
as the flow regime becomes less cyclonic with time. High pressure
then takes hold by Sunday night into Monday with a clearing trend
expected, perhaps allowing for the coldest nighttime temperatures
of this whole stretch as winds become light, though will have to
closely watch cloud trends. We'll also have to keep an eye on how
widespread freezing temperatures are by morning, with some risk
another Freeze Warning may be needed for either tonight or Sunday
night before we officially send off the growing season for the
year.

.LONG TERM...(Monday Night through Friday)
Issued at 303 AM CDT Sat Oct 12 2019

A pretty typical stretch of mid October variable weather looks on
track for the work week, with persistent upper troughing dominating
early but transitioning to building mid level heights by midweek.
Next decent shot at precipitation appears to come sometime Tuesday,
with good agreement for a stronger shortwave crossing the area. Per
forecast soundings, appears enough warm air aloft will enter the
picture for this to be mainly of the liquid variety, but will
closely watch trends the next few days. In its wake, another brief
shot of cold advection will dominate along with a good deal of cloud
cover through Wednesday, but with a quick shift to stronger warm
advection into Thursday high pressure crests the area and better
return flow kicks into gear. For the moment, looking a little too
dry for that warm advection to produce much in the way of cloud
cover, with a pretty good chance many spots make a run back toward
60 degrees - not too shabby of a turnaround from readings the next
few days. Rain chances then spread back into the picture toward
Friday and perhaps the first half of the weekend, with increasing
signals for another stronger shortwave trough approaching the
region.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Sunday morning)
Issued at 628 AM CDT Sat Oct 12 2019

Another shortwave trough will move back into the area this
morning. It will bring with it a broken to overcast 4-6K deck of
clouds and occasional showers. These clouds will move into KRST
around 12.14z and KLSE around 12.15z. These ceilings will become
MVFR this evening and remain that way through the night.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of southeast
Minnesota, northeast Iowa, and southwest into central Wisconsin.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Rain and snow showers are expected today for many areas. Heavier
snow showers could significantly reduce visibility for brief
periods of time and also create minor accumulation on grassy
surfaces.

In addition, freezing temperatures are again expected tonight for
much of the area, posing a risk to crops and sensitive
vegetation.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

One more night of cold temperatures is expected Sunday night, with
widespread frost likely.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

No action needed.

.EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATION...
