...Slick Travel, Areas of Freezing Drizzle Continue in West- 
Central and Southwest Wisconsin...

.Radar and observations show a lingering north-south oriented 
band of freezing drizzle stretching from Jackson County to 
Crawford County this morning. This band of freezing drizzle is
expected to slowly drift eastward through lunchtime. Law 
enforcement reports numerous roads are still icy this morning, 
including Interstate 94 through Jackson County. Patchy freezing 
drizzle and light snow is possible elsewhere through the rest of 
this morning and may lead to slippery stretches on roads, 
especially untreated back roads. If you must venture out this 
morning, take it slow and allow extra time to reach your 
destination safely. Also be careful walking on sidewalks and
parking lots.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
534 PM CST Sat Jan 16 2021

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 149 PM CST Sat Jan 16 2021

This afternoon the Upper Mississippi Valley region was situated in
between systems, beneath a low-amplitude mid-level ridge. Our recent
occluded low was advancing towards New England while a developing
shortwave was digging into the Northern Plains. Locally, we've had
some nuisance snow showers/flurries/drizzle to contend with today
due to a pesky 950-925mb frontogenesis band just west of the
Mississippi River. The RAP shows this fgen band fizzling out over
the next few hours as it creeps up to the MS River, so that should
lead to an overall diminishing trend. Will still keep mention of
flurries going given the very moist low levels and some weak low
level omega.

That upstream shortwave will be the feature of interest for tonight
as it drops into our region. While forcing will be weak in tandem
with limited moisture, there is model consensus for it to squeeze
out some light snow as it drops southeast through the region tonight
into early Sunday. QPF is very light, so the snow is not expected to
amount to more than a coating to perhaps a half inch in spots.
RAP/HRRR comp reflectivity point to south of I-94 as the main area
of impact through early Sunday afternoon, but have at least flurries
mentioned elsewhere for most of the day.

Lows tonight will range from around 20 to the mid 20s across the
area. Sunday's highs will range from mid 20s to around 30.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
Issued at 149 PM CST Sat Jan 16 2021

There is no real clear or strong signal for precipitation over the
next several days, just some spotty low chances here and there. The
region will generally be under a northwest to southeast oriented
upper-level flow pattern. Multiple shortwaves pass through this flow
bringing several low chances for precipitation, but not expecting much
for accumulations if any at this time. Some light snow or
flurries may persist into the overnight hours on Sunday. On
Monday, another shortwave system passes through the region, but
the best chances for precipitation remain south of the area where
there is better forcing and moisture available.

From mid-week onward, model guidance is pinning a surface low
pressure system to track eastward through southern Canada while
remaining north of the Great Lakes Region. Associated troughs
extending from this low pass through the local area. Cold air
advecting into the area in wake of the passing waves will cool
afternoon temperatures into the teens for Friday and Saturday.
Otherwise, expect afternoon temperatures to be in the 20s to low
30s, with low temperatures from the single digits to low 20s.
Decided to stick with the blended model guidance keeping
precipitation chances nearly dry into the weekend. There is still
plenty of spread between the models with handling how these weak
shortwaves evolve and track through the region.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening)
Issued at 534 PM CST Sat Jan 16 2021

Several weak troughs in northwest flow aloft will keep
cloud cover and intermittent light snow or flurries going through
the next 24 hours. Plan on IFR/LIFR conditions at KRST through the
period while mainly MVFR conditions expected at KLSE. Surface
winds will be light northwesterly, generally below 10kt.
