.DISCUSSION...(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 249 PM CST Sat Feb 25 2023

KEY MESSAGES:

- Another impactful storm system is expected late Sunday night and
  Monday. A period of moderate to heavy freezing rain at the onset
  could bring ice accumulations of around 1/4 inch to most of west
  central Wisconsin. Total precipitation amounts have trended up with
  a slight westward shift of the system, but a relatively sharp
  gradient from impactful amounts of precipitation to little or none
  remains from southwest to central Minnesota.

- Low confidence continues with a midweek system that may bring
  another round of snow.

After some morning clouds in Wisconsin, skies have cleared with a
sunny day across much of the region. A band of high clouds across the
northern half of Minnesota may drift over central parts of the state,
but otherwise no concerns for tonight or Sunday. A cool day and light
winds tonight should send us back into the single digits for lows.

A vigorous and compact upper low over the coast of southern California
will advance east to the southern Rockies Sunday afternoon, then
begin to turn east northeast toward the mid Mississippi Valley Sunday
night as it begins to encounter the strong southeast mid level
ridge. The trend today has been to shift the track a little to the
left, bringing a slight increase in QPF to eastern Minnesota and
Wisconsin. However, there is still a ton of spread in ensemble
guidance with QPF, owing to the fact there will be a relatively sharp
gradient somewhere over the area. GEFS has a spread of about 2
inches across the eastern half of the area - 0.2" to 2.2" at EAU and
0.1" to 2.0" at MSP. This is very unusual for a storm system expected
to begin within 36 hours, but the compact and potent nature of it
means a lot can change with slight adjustments in track. 12Z hi-res
guidance is mostly aligned with a farther west solution. The
envelope of solutions should begin to narrow quickly, maybe as early
as this evening. For now, the forecast follows close to the ensemble
means which should minimize any adjustments one way or the other
going forward.

Precipitation will lift north rapidly late Sunday night, engulfing
southern/eastern MN and WI by early Monday morning. Very warm air
aloft will ensure no snow, and it should melt all hydrometeors
completely to make sleet difficult to achieve too. What's left is a
surface temperature forecast hovering around freezing to determine if
precipitation falls as plain rain or freezing rain. With a breezy
east-southeasterly flow mostly originating from the current chilly
airmass in place, not expecting temperatures to rise above freezing
before precipitation begins across central MN and western WI. There
may be a period of several hours freezing rain is occurring as
precipitation rates increase into early Monday morning. This aspect
of the forecast has remained pretty consistent and forecast ice grids
remain near 1/4 inch across most of west central WI. Although
temperatures near freezing, strong winds, and moderate to heavy rates
are not efficient elements for a crippling ice storm, the
consistency with the FRAM (freezing rain accumulation model) given
all the above is such that a Winter Storm Watch is warranted.

By late Monday morning, temperatures should rise to the warm side of
freezing and end any further icing threat. By afternoon, the back
edge of precipitation will clear from southwest to northeast and
could mix with a little light snow before ending. With temps still
above freezing, snow accumulation will remain light (if any occurs
at all).

Quick on the heels of the early week system, another will track east
into the northern Plains Tuesday into Wednesday. This one won't have
as much moisture to work with and a narrower band of precipitation is
likely on its northern half. There has been little consistency with
the track, so confidence remains low. At this point, the system
could drop a few inches of snow anywhere across the Dakotas,
Minnesota, and northern Wisconsin. PoPs remain relatively low for now
until greater consistency develops.

High pressure builds in for the rest of the period and another shot
of colder air will return late week.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Sunday night)
Issued at 1047 PM CST Sat Feb 25 2023

Guidance continues to hit RWF/MKT pretty hard with fog tonight and
with some airports starting to show some vis restrictions already in
southern MN and northern IA, feeling more confident in the fog we had
in the forecast at RWF and MKT, so kept that mention going. Light
winds tonight will become southeast on Sunday and increase through
the rest of the period. As we get to 6z Mon and the end of the 24
hour TAF period, conditions will be deteriorating quickly as rain
surges north into southern MN. In addition, a strong LLJ will start
moving into southern MN, so introduced some WS at the end of the TAFs
for RWF/MKT.

KMSP...Still expecting fog tonight to remain well southwest of the
Twin Cities. For Sunday night, still think sub-VFR conditions will be
pretty closely tied to when the precip moves in. As for the precip,
we are seeing a few models bringing some light precip in between 6z
and 8z, though the main surge of moisture looks to arrive around 9z
or 10z.

/OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/
Mon...MVFR/IFR with -RA. Chc -SN in aftn. Wind NE bcmg NW 10-15 kts.
Tue...VFR. Wind W 5-10 kts bcmg S.
Wed...MVFR likely. Chc -SN. Wind NNW 10-20 kts.
