Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
1007 PM CST Thu Feb 17 2022

...Update to aviation forecast discussion...

.DISCUSSION...(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 240 PM CST Thu Feb 17 2022

Key Messages:

  - Clipper type system to bring a quick warm-up, light snow, and
    gusty winds to the region. Some potential for snow squalls. A
    winter weather advisory/wind advisory may be needed for
    Friday.

  - Unseasonable warmth on Sunday

  - Winter storm with widespread accumulating snowfall becoming
    increasingly likely for Monday through Tuesday of next week.

Tonight through Friday...

Water vapor satellite and heights show the 500mb trough axis has
pushed into the Upper Mississippi Valley and extends southwest
toward Kansas and New Mexico.  Lightning and radar data highlight
the ongoing severe weather ahead of the trough across Alabama into
Tennessee with winter weather to the north of this area. Locally,
we continue to see cold temperatures in the single digits and
teens. The latest visible satellite image shows clearing west of
Rochester and Eau Claire.

A clipper type system will move into the region Friday.  By morning,
the low level jet increase 45 to 55kts across parts of the area
resulting in strengthening south winds with gusts 15 to 30 mph. Some
lead energy combined with upper level jet support from the left
front exit region of the jet may result in enough saturation for
flurries during the morning hours.  Cold morning temperatures will
rise into the teens...20s and possibly 30s in the far southwest by
noon.  Snow over northern Minnesota is forecast to move into
northern Wisconsin with increasing frontogenesis aiding in snow
developing with the cold front Friday afternoon farther south across
the rest of the forecast area.  Temperatures will range from the 20s
in the chimney area to the 30s for much of the rest of the area and
a few 40s for parts of MN/IA/wrn WI.

The lift through the dendritic growth zone is strongest across the
chimney area, however steep lapse rates accompany the
frontogenesis with the front. For now have a trace to 1 inch of
accumulation south of I94/I90 and 1 to 2 farther north for
Jackson/Clark/Taylor counties. Gusty southwest, west, northwest
winds accompany the frontal passage. Wind gusts look to increase
into the 35 to 50 mph range. In addition, the RAP is showing a
snow squall signal between 2pm and 6pm. A winter weather
advisory/wind advisory may be needed for parts of the area
Friday/Friday night.

Saturday into Next Week...

Saturday morning, temperatures starting out in single digits above
and below zero will increase throughout the day. The warmer
conditions will actually occur that evening as temperatures continue
to rise overnight. By Sunday morning temperatures are anticipated to
be in the mid 20s to low 30s. A ridge building aloft with surface
winds from the south/southwest and decent warm air advection will
easily help push temperatures above the seasonable average.
Although, temperatures at 850 mb reaching above zero up to 3 C are
not that anomalous according to the NAEFS. Still, high temperatures
at the surface are anticipated to top out in the 40s. A few
locations across the souther portions of the forecast area could
even see 50 degree temperatures.

Then attention turns to the next incoming winter system. Confidence
has been growing that a winter storm will impact the region for
early next week. The latest satellite water vapor imagery showed a
low pressure system spinning over the Pacific Ocean just west of the
Pacific Northwest region of the US. Model guidance has this
shortwave diving southward just west of the coastal states. As it
moves into the Baja California area, a longer wave trough is then
anticipated to dig through the western US. This trough then ejects
the shortwave energy from southern California into the midwestern
region. Shortwave energy wrapping around the upper-level system
along with decent isentropic lift around 290K will bring a prolonged
period for wintry precipitation chances beginning Monday morning
lasting into Tuesday night. Currently expecting widespread
accumulating snowfall as the main impact with this system. The most
likely period for greatest accumulations looks to occur Monday
night. Although not confident enough to include in the forecast at
this time, a few GEFS members are showing wintry mix chances along
the Wisconsin and Illinois border. Will continue to monitor this
system and resulting accumulation totals as the even draws closer
and details become more clear.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night)
Issued at 1006 PM CST Thu Feb 17 2022

Mid and high clouds will move into the area as a warm front moves
through the region overnight.

With the wind increasing aloft faster than the surface, there may
be a few hours of low level wind shear. Once the winds mix to the
surface, they will be rather brisk with sustained winds in the 20
to 25 knot range. Wind gusts will range from 30 to 45 mph during
the late afternoon and early evening.

There continues to look like there will be a line of snow showers
(maybe snow squalls) that move through the area during the mid to
late afternoon. These look to move through between 18.20z and
18.23z. These may reduce visibilities into MVFR range.

below zero on Saturday morning.

Additional accumulating snow is possible early next week, though
details on timing and amounts remain unclear at this time.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
