URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
304 PM CST Wed Dec 21 2022

...Powerful Midwest Storm to Bring Whiteout Conditions For 
Some...

.Very powdery snow is starting to overtake the area this
afternoon. Snow amounts ranging from 2 to 4 inches closer to
Interstate 35 in Minnesota and Iowa, up to 5 to 8 inches in
central and southwest Wisconsin are expected through Thursday
morning. The snow itself will make for difficult travel.

As the snow moves out on Thursday, northwest winds will be on the
increase, especially later in the day. The strongest winds will 
occur Thursday night through Friday night, with gusts of 40 to 50 
mph. This will cause blizzard and whiteout conditions in blowing 
and drifting snow, especially west of the Mississippi River. 
Therefore, a Blizzard Warning has been issued for that area. Wind 
chill values will be from minus 20 to minus 40 from Thursday into 
the holiday weekend.

One of the dangers if anyone gets stranded, especially in rural
areas, it would be very dangerous to be outside or walk on foot.

...Powerful Midwest Storm to Bring Whiteout Conditions For Some...

.Very powdery snow continues to fall across the region with
snowcovered roads and reduced visibilities mostly between 1 and 2
miles, however at times visibilities have been reduced to one half
mile or less. Numerous crashes and slide-offs have been reported
during the evening hours. The snow will continue to push through
overnight in waves and we continue to look for snow amounts from 2
to 4 inches toward Interstate 35 in Minnesota and Iowa and up to 5
to 8 inches for central and southwest Wisconsin through Thursday
morning.  

Northwest winds will be on the increase Thursday, especially 
later in the day. The strongest winds will occur Thursday night 
through Friday night, with gusts of 40 to 50 mph. This will cause 
blizzard and whiteout conditions in blowing and drifting snow,

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 Dec 20, 11:21 AM CST, 3 hours 27 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Dec 20, 11:21 AM CST, 3 hours 27 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
1121 AM CST Tue Dec 20 2022

.DISCUSSION...(Today through Monday)
Issued at 322 AM CST Tue Dec 20 2022

Key Messages:

 - Winter Storm to impact the Upper Midwest/Great Lakes Region
   Wednesday night into the first part of the weekend. Snow,
   winds, blowing snow...potential whiteout/blizzard conditions
   and dangerously cold wind chills can be expected.

Today into Wednesday...

Shortwave trough in the west to east zonal flow aloft exits the
region this morning. Snow associated with this shortwave has
moved rapidly east of the forecast area early this morning per
mosaic radar. Upper/surface ridge builds over the Upper Great
Lakes Region today into Wednesday. Much of the forecast area will
remain dry through Wednesday morning. Colder air mass advects in
behind shortwave trough today and highs are expected to be in the
single digits above to teens and lows tonight will fall into the
single digits to teens below zero. Lowest wind chills will be in
the teens below across much of the area Wednesday morning.

Wednesday night into Saturday morning

Focus turns to winter storm to impact the area Wednesday night into
Saturday morning. Upper level low/trough digs over the central
United States/Upper Great Lakes region. Decent forcing/vertical
motion in association with the upper level low will spread snow
across the forecast area Wednesday afternoon into Friday night. The
latest GFS/NAM bufkit soundings show decent deep dendritic snow
growth and higher snow ratios Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
This will allow for the heaviest snow to fall across the forecast
area. As surface low deepens over the Great Lakes Region and moves
east of the area late Thursday into Friday...lighter snow occurs
over much of the forecast area. The 20.00z GFS/NAM show gradient
tightening considerably Thursday into Friday night over the
region...as surface low deepens over the Great Lakes. The 20.00z
GFS/NAM suggest surface pressure gradient forcing increasing to
above 50 ubars/km by 12z Friday and Bufkit soundings indicate wind
gusts of 35 to 40 knots Thursday night into Friday night. This will
cause considerably blowing/drifting snow and the potential for
blizzard and whiteout conditions west of the Mississippi River and
in open areas.

The other factor with this system is the cold arctic airmass
advecting in Thursday into Friday across the area. Factor in the
strong winds and temps falling into the single digits above and
below zero...bitterly cold wind chills will occur across the area.
Wind chills are expected to be minus 20 to minus 40 Thursday night
into Friday.

Will continue to mention all these hazards in the Winter Storm
Watch...blowing/drifting snow with the potential of
blizzard/whiteout conditions and the dangerously cold wind
chills.

Sunday into Monday

Upper level trough remains over the northeastern United States
Sunday into Monday. The 20.00z GFS/ECMWF indicate a shortwave trough
embedded in the northerly flow aloft to track over the Upper Great
Lakes Region/Northern Plain States. This will provide another chance
for light snow across the forecast area...mainly Sunday night.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon)
Issued at 1111 AM CST Tue Dec 20 2022

VFR conditions will prevail through this TAF period as surface
high pressure moves over the area. A strong system will move
across the area Wednesday evening, which will bring a return to
IFR/LIFR conditions closer to 00Z Thursday.

&&

.ARX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
