...Snow, Hazardous Travel Today And Tonight...

.Snow will make for slick to hazardous travel for many across the

Currently, highest amounts from 6 to 8 inches are expected across

...Snow, Hazardous Travel Today And Tonight...

.Snow will make for slick to hazardous travel for many across the
region this afternoon through tonight - especially along and
south of Interstate 90. The evening commute could be difficult in
some locations. Delay or avoid travel during peak snowfall if
possible.

Currently, highest amounts from 6 to 8 inches are expected across
northeast Iowa and far southwest Wisconsin. Amounts will decrease
rapidity north of the heaviest band. Snowfall rates of an inch 
per hour will be common at times in the higher snofall areas, with
significant reductions in visibility. Drifting could also occur 
in open and unsheltered areas.

The snow will start to spread into areas west of Rochester
Minnesota to New Hampton Iowa by the noon hour, then spread 
east into western and southwest Wisconsin by mid afternoon. 
Heaviest snows are currently expected from late afternoon through 
mid evening. The bulk of the snow will exit east before daybreak 
Saturday.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this winter storm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS La Crosse, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this winter storm warning went out at Jan 17, 12:02 PM CST, 2 hours 21 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 17, 12:02 PM CST, 2 hours 21 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
1202 PM CST Thu Jan 17 2019

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1030 AM CST Thu Jan 17 2019

The incoming 12Z model guidance so far suggests increasing QPF/snow
amounts for the system tomorrow and tomorrow evening, especially
along and south of the MN/IA border into far southwest WI. The
potential exists for snowfall of around 6 or more inches in this
area. As a result, will be coordinating with surrounding offices
to issue a winter storm watch late this morning. With the influx
of dry air to the north, will have to continue to refine the
northern edge of the snow with a sharp gradient in snowfall
amounts expected.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Friday Night)
Issued at 321 AM CST Thu Jan 17 2019

GOES water vapor/RAP 500mb analysis early this morning showing a mid-
level shortwave trough moving southeast across western MN. This was
producing some light snow across eastern SD/southwest MN/northwest
IA. Latest hi-res models march this shortwave across the area this
morning while in a general weakening phase. Current thinking is that
areas west of the Mississippi River will likely see a dusting of
snow with tapering as it moves east of the Mississippi River. Will
also have to keep an eye on the small possibility of patchy light
freezing drizzle as the wave departs by early this afternoon.
Otherwise, a cloudy day on tap with near normal temperatures in the
20s.

High pressure builds into the area from Canada tonight with some
clearing expected. Overnight lows will be in the single digits/teens
above zero.

For Friday into Friday night, another mid-level trough will drop out
of the Northern Plains while deepening low pressure takes place over
the Central/Southern Plains. Good feed of moisture an increasing 850-
500mb frontogenesis will likely produce some accumulating snow for
at least northeast IA into southwest WI. Could see a rather sharp
southwest to northeast gradient in snow/no snow as high pressure
sprawled out across southern Canada, northern MN/WI will be
providing dry low-level flow. Right now, model consensus is
producing anywhere from 2-6 inches possible, heaviest accumulations
south of a line from Austin MN to Boscobel WI. However, based on
drier air filtering in from the north/northeast vs. system forcing
uncertainty, will hold off on any headlines for now and let dayshift
assess further with 12z model runs. Will continue covering messaging
in HWO and other social media outlets. Temperature-wise, highs
Friday will be on the colder side of normals with readings topping
off in the mid-teens to lower 20s. Lows Friday night will range from
the single digits to teens above zero.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Wednesday)
Issued at 321 AM CST Thu Jan 17 2019

Colder than normal temperatures will set up across the area for the
weekend as Arctic high slides from Canada into the Great Lakes
Region. Plan on highs Saturday and Sunday in the teens to lower 20s.
Coldest air will be late Saturday night/early Sunday morning as lows
drop into the single digits below/above zero with wind chills in the
teens below zero.

Another mid-level trough tracking slowly east across the
Plains/Upper Mississippi River Valley region will bring a chance of
light accumulating snow from Monday through Tuesday. Otherwise,
continuing a bit colder than normal with highs in the upper teens to
lower 20s.

Another weak system drops down in northwest flow aloft Wednesday
afternoon for a slight chance of light snow. Plan on highs again in
the upper teens to lower 20s.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon)
Issued at 1155 AM CST Thu Jan 17 2019

Brief IFR conditions at KRST are expected to improve to MVFR this
afternoon as drier air filters in from the northwest. The general
trend at the air fields will be improving flight categories for
cigs this afternoon, and a period of VFR through Friday morning.

However, a winter storm passing to the south of the airfields on
Friday will bring light snow Friday afternoon and evening. This
snow will likely produce IFR visibilities after 181800.
