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 26, 11:30 AM CST, 3 hours 40 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 26, 11:30 AM CST, 3 hours 40 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
1130 AM CST Sat Jan 26 2019

.UPDATE...
Issued at 913 AM CST Sat Jan 26 2019

Quick update to significant raise snow chances today across much
of the area, with a shortwave crossing the area. Already seeing
widespread snow underway across southeast Minnesota into northeast
Iowa, with that spreading east the next few hours, courtesy of
shallow lift below 750 mb but centered squarely through the
dendritic growth region given our very cold airmass in place. As
such, snow will be of the "fluffy" variety but could also add up
to maybe an inch given high snow-water ratios.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 313 AM CST Sat Jan 26 2019

Latest water vapor satellite imagery shows upper level trough
over the eastern United States with weak impulses embedded in the
northerly flow aloft over the Northern Plains. Latest 08z surface
analysis shows high pressure centered over Minnesota...Iowa and
Wisconsin and producing clear skies and light winds over the
forecast area. Temperatures were in the single digits to the upper
20s below zero per latest metars.

Today...A weak impulse over the Northern Plains will move east
over Wisconsin. The 26.00z GFS/NAM bufkit soundings indicate deep
dendritic layer...due to the cold arctic airmass over the forecast
area...and weak vertical motion in association with the weak
impulse. Hi-resolution models suggest light qpf amounts with the
impulse (couple of hundredths). Have increased precipitation
chances late this morning into the afternoon hours across much of
the forecast area. Snowfall amounts of up to an inch is
are expected.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 313 AM CST Sat Jan 26 2019

Next concern is snow Sunday into Monday across much of the forecast
area. The deterministic 26.00z GFS/NAM models shifted band of
precipitation/snow slightly further north than previous runs.
Questions remain where the heaviest band of snow will occur or set
up. However...the 26.00z GFS/NAM/ECMWF continue to show strong
forcing and vertical motion in association with the shortwave
trough/surface feature Sunday afternoon/evening into Monday
across the forecast area. Expect 4 to 10 inches of snow across
the forecast area. Winter Storm Watch will be in effect for all of
the forecast area. With the shift slightly further north...bufkit
soundings over the far south forecast area indicate the
possibility of losing ice nucleation in the cloud and potential
for freezing drizzle after 06z Monday. Bufkit soundings show deep
lift through the atmosphere column at this time. Based on this and
the coverage of freezing drizzle is small over the far southern
forecast area...will take mention of any freezing drizzle out of
the forecast.

Main forecast concerns Monday night into Friday are unseasonably
cold temperatures Tuesday through Thursday. The 26.00z
GFS/ECMWF/GEM remain in good agreement in amplifying upper level
ridge over the west coast of the United States and carving out
upper level trough over the eastern United States/Great Lakes
Region. With the northerly flow aloft developing over southern
Canada...very cold arctic airmass filters into the Upper Great
Lakes Region Tuesday into Thursday. The 26.00z GFS/ECMWF suggest
925mb temperatures falling to around 30 degrees celsius below zero
Wednesday. The 25.12z ensembles show minus 3 to minus 4 850mb
temperature anomalies over the forecast area. Expect high
temperatures in the single digits to teens below zero and low
temperatures in the twenties below zero Tuesday through Thursday.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon)
Issued at 1130 AM CST Sat Jan 26 2019

A batch of light snow continues to work through the area and will
impact both LSE and RST the next few hours with IFR visibility,
with any accumulation under an inch. Conditions will improve
through the late afternoon and evening as skies clear with the
approach of high pressure, before some thicker high clouds arrive
later tonight into Sunday morning ahead of our approaching winter
storm. At this time, it appears any snow with that system will
hold off until after 18Z Sunday for both LSE and RST, though will
of course watch trends closely into tonight.

...Light Snow Expected into Mid Afternoon...

Light snow will continue to push east across much of southeast
Minnesota, northeast Iowa, and western into central Wisconsin
through mid afternoon. Any snow accumulation will be under one
inch, but enough snow will fall to create snow-covered roads and
slick travel. If you will be out this afternoon, be prepared for
wintry travel conditions and slow down.
