URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
254 PM CST Fri Jan 29 2021

...Freezing Drizzle and Snow to Lead To Travel Impacts Saturday 
Morning Through Sunday...

.Precipitation will begin Saturday morning as freezing drizzle
with light accumulation of ice expected. This will lead to 
untreated roads becoming slippery during the day. The 
precipitation will turn to all snow late Saturday afternoon and
evening and last through Sunday, leading to travel impacts. While
some questions still remain regarding strength of the system, 
there seems to be pretty good consensus of 4 to 7 inches of snow 
falling across parts of northeast Iowa into far southwest 
Wisconsin. The heaviest looks to fall Saturday evening, where snow
rates of 1 inch per hour will be possible. Keep an eye on the 
forecast this weekend and adjust travel plans as needed.

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE

722 PM CST Sat Jan 30 2021

...Slippery Travel Tonight As Freezing Drizzle Transitions to 
Snow...

.Areas of light freezing drizzle are quickly transitioning to
snow this evening from southeast to northwest across the area. 
Through about 10 PM, light freezing drizzle will be possible 
across portions of southeast Minnesota, west-central Wisconsin, 
and north-central Iowa. A light glaze of ice is possible on 
untreated surfaces, making some roads and sidewalks slippery this 
evening. 

Meanwhile steady snow has developed across northeast Iowa and far
southwest Wisconsin and will gradually expand northward and
westward through late evening. Additional accumulations through 
Sunday morning will generally range from 2 to 4 inches across the 
area. 

Motorists should anticipate deteriorating road conditions tonight
with slippery to hazardous travel as roads become snow covered. 
Take it slow and exercise caution.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this winter weather advisory 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 weather advisory went out at Jan 29, 11:31 AM CST, 3 hours 23 minutes earlier.

1131 AM CST Fri Jan 29 2021

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 251 AM CST Fri Jan 29 2021

Water vapor imagery early this morning shows this weekend's system of
interest spinning off the CA coast with a plume of mid to high level
moisture streaming east from the Rockies into the plains. Meanwhile,
low-level clouds continue to spread east across IA/MN. A few
flurries are possible under the stratus early today.

Otherwise, warm advection continues today and tonight as mid-level
ridging spreads across the area with increasing deep southerly flow.
Despite the cloud cover, seasonable highs in the 20s are expected
today with milder overnight lows in the teens and 20s tonight with
breezy southerly winds ahead of low pressure developing to the
west.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday)
Issued at 251 AM CST Fri Jan 29 2021

The 29.00z models are in fairly good agreement that the surface
low will track east northeast from southwest Kansas on Saturday
morning to central Indiana by Sunday morning. The upper level low
will track north of this track. In addition, there will be an
inverted trough to the north and northwest of the surface low
which will bring moisture in the region. Strong 850 to 700 mb
frontogenesis will develop across Fayette and Clayton counties in
northeast Iowa and Grant County in southwest Wisconsin from late
Saturday afternoon into Saturday night. This will enhance the lift
located across the counties. As a result, it continues to look
like these counties will see the highest QPF (0.5 to 0.75 inches).
Much of this QPF will likely fall between 5 PM and 11 PM. The
HREF indicates over an 80 percent chance of hourly snowfall
amounts of 1 to 2 inches per hour. This may result in 5 to 7
inches in these counties. Due to this, issued a Winter Storm Watch
from 3 PM Saturday through 12 PM Sunday. Further to the north
toward Interstate 94 snow total will range from 2 to 5 inches. The
highest totals will be in northeast Iowa and southwest Wisconsin.
Meanwhile, north of Interstate 94, snow totals will range from 1
to 2 inches.

Looking further out, the 29.00z models continue to agreement that
there will be a system impacting the region in the mid to late
part of next week. While this is the case, the ensemble members
are still all over the place with their track, strength, timing,
and precipitation types. As a result, opted to just stay with the
NBM for now.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon)
Issued at 1131 AM CST Fri Jan 29 2021

MVFR ceilings early this afternoon expected to push off to the
north and west giving way to VFR conditions into this evening.
More MVFR/IFR ceilings will push in to RST from the west by the
late evening hours, with an eventual drop to MVFR visibility as
well. Lower ceilings should remain west of the Mississippi River
for much of the TAF period, but do expect LSE to eventually drop
to MVFR at some point Saturday morning. Some guidance hints at
some light freezing drizzle Saturday morning as well, but
confidence is not high in this occurring. Otherwise, winds will be
out of the southeast at around 10 kts through the period, with
gusts in the 20 to 25 kt range starting by late this afternoon at
RST.
