894 WWUS43 KARX 072009 WSWARX URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service La Crosse WI 209 PM CST Thu Feb 7 2019 ...Difficult Travel as Snow Continues...Then Bitterly Cold Tonight... .Snow continued to fall and lead to difficult travel across much of the area during the early afternoon hours. However, the back edge of the heaviest snow was working northeastward across northeast Iowa and southeast Minnesota and is expected to exit the area by late afternoon or early evening. Behind this, some light snow will continue to fall and wind gusts in the 30 to 40 mph range will lead to some blowing and drifting snow, especially in unsheltered areas. Travel will remain difficult into this evening, including during the commute. Plan ahead, take it slow, and allow plenty of time to reach your destination. After the snow comes to an end, bitterly cold air will work from west to east across the area, with wind chill values generally in the 20 to 30 below zero range area-wide through tomorrow morning. If you must be outside, be sure to dress warm and cover any exposed skin.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
1113 AM CST Thu Feb 7 2019
.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 415 AM CST Thu Feb 7 2019
Through 5 AM, freezing drizzle will continue then a band of snow,
sleet, and freezing will move northeast across the area between
5 AM and 7 AM. This band was producing thunder across eastern
Nebraska earlier in the night, but has since weakened some.
After this band moves through, the precipitation will then
transition back to freezing drizzle. Additional ice accumulations
will be up to a tenth of an inch mainly south of Interstate 94.
After 9 AM, soundings then show that as strong cold air advection
moves into the area in the wake of a short wave trough we will
see a rapid increase of ice crystals aloft. This will cause a
rapid transition back to snow during mid to late morning. This
snow will then continue into the evening.
Currently have storm total snowfalls of 5 to 9 inches in Clark
and Taylor counties, 4 to 6 inches near Interstate 90, and 1 to 5
inches elsewhere.
With this said, there is concern in the meso models and 07.06z
GFS and NAM that we could potentially be dry slot this afternoon
could reduce snow totals this afternoon significantly. This could
reduce storm snow totals by 1 to 3 inches. This trend will have
to be watched.
With the 925 mb thermal trough remaining along and north of
Interstate 90 into the afternoon, the temperature will be slow to
fall in these areas today. Meanwhile, northeast Iowa and
southwest Wisconsin will see a much faster drop in temperatures.
In addition, winds will become strong and gusty this afternoon and
evening. Wind gusts will be up to 35 mph across western Wisconsin
and up to 45 mph across open and unsheltered areas, especially
parts of southeast Minnesota and northeast Iowa. This will result
in some blowing and drifting snow. Impacts could be less if we get
dry slotted.
.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 415 AM CST Thu Feb 7 2019
Wind chills on Friday morning will range from -20 to -35 mph. A
Wind Chill Advisory will likely be needed for tonight and Friday.
With 925 mb temperatures of -18 to -23C, high temperatures on
Friday will likely be in the single digits above and below zero.
As Arctic high drifts quickly off to the southeast, there will be
a quick recovery in temperatures. Highs will range from 10 to 20
on Saturday and from 15 to 25 on Sunday.
A low pressure system will move east through the Central Plains
and Mid Mississippi River Valley. This has the potential of
producing up to 2 inches south of Interstate 90.
From Monday night into Wednesday, both the operational GFS and
ECMWF are advertising that a significant low pressure system will
impact the area. However, many of their ensembles and even the
latest GEM have either a weak low transitioning to our south or an
Arctic high located over the region, so caution should be heeded
on trending toward this forecast. A quick look at the latest
07.00z GEFS plumes show a tremendous spread in the 850 mb
temperatures. This is due to a potential a major pattern shift in
the upper air pattern toward a positive Pacific-North American.
This is due a moderate to strong Madden Julian Oscillation
transitioning from Phase 7 to 1. Over the past week, there has
been much uncertainty on the speed in which this will take place.
