943 WWUS43 KARX 131728 WSWARX URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service La Crosse WI 1228 PM CDT Fri Mar 13 2026 ...MAJOR WINTER STORM SATURDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING... .A prolonged, high-impact winter storm affects the region Saturday night through Monday morning. Highest snow totals in excess of 12 to 18 inches are favored north of Interstate 90 with some locales north of Highway 10 approaching 24 inches. Along Interstate 90, a wintry mix of snow, freezing rain, and sleet makes it difficult to pin down exact snow and ice amounts, but impacts are warranting of a winter storm warning. Across northeast Iowa and southwest Wisconsin, snow does not look to arrive until Sunday afternoon, so the winter storm watch is maintained until further details can be ascertained. Increasing winds Sunday afternoon and night should result in whiteout conditions for exposed locales and an upgrade to a blizzard warning is likely once the exact threat area is determined. Regardless of exact snow amounts, expect major travel impacts regionwide with some roads possibly impassable, especially in wind-prone areas.

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 Mar 13, 5:30 AM CDT, 6 hours 58 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- The first of two winter storms will exit the area this morning. This system will produce heavy snow across all or parts on Taylor and Clark counties. In addition to this, there will be very strong wind gusts of 50 to 65 mph this morning. The strongest winds will be from 3 am through 7 am.
- Storm #2: A potentially historic winter storm will likely impact the area from Saturday night into Monday morning. A widespread swath of 12-18+ inches of snow is looking more likely in the forecast area. The highest totals currently look to be along and north of Interstate 94. Strong winds on Sunday afternoon and night could lead to blizzard conditions and localized tree and power line damage.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 154 AM CDT Fri Mar 13 2026
This Morning - Strong Winds
A 987 mb surface low, currently over northwest Wisconsin, will move
east southeast into northern Lower Michigan today and gradually
fill. In the High Wind Warning areas of northeast Iowa, southeast
Minnesota, and southwest Wisconsin, the soundings continue to show
50 to 65 knot winds at the top of the mixed layer. There continues
to be very steep lapse rates (9-10 C/km) in the mixed layer in
addition strong cold air advection. This will likely result in
wind gusts of 55 to 65 mph. In the Wind Advisory area, the winds
at the top of the mixed layer range from 40 to 50 knots. Like
the High Wind Warning area, there will be strong lapse rates
and cold air advection. This will likely result in wind gusts of
45 to 60 mph. The strongest winds and gusts for the entire area
will likely occur between 3 am and 7 am.
Like the past couple of nights the NBM sustained winds and wind
gusts are on the low side, so used a 50 50 blend of the NBM 90th
percentile and the HRRR. This resulted in High Wind Warning winds in
northeast Iowa, southeast Minnesota, and southwest Wisconsin, and
Wind Advisory winds for the remainder of the area.
A band of snow extending northwest into eastern North Dakota will
continue to persist across Taylor and northern Clark counties into
Friday morning. Snow totals in Taylor County will likely range from
4 to 10 inches. The highest totals will be in the northeast part of
the county. Clark County will likely see anywhere from 1 to 6 inches
with the highest totals being in the northern and eastern part of
the county.
Toward day break and early Friday morning, the low will move
southeast through the area. With steep low level lapse rates and
strong winds aloft, we may see some snow squalls. At this time, the
impacts from these potential squalls is somewhat covered by the High
Wind Warning/Wind Advisory.
Saturday night into Monday Morning - Major Winter Storm Likely in
the Region
The deterministic models are general agreement that a
strengthening surface low will track east across eastern
Nebraska and Iowa on Sunday. This results in a west-east snow
band along the Interstate 90 and 94 corridors on Saturday night
and Sunday morning. There has been a slight northward shift in
the heaviest snow with the heaviest snow more centered on
Interstate 94. Just south of this band, there are indications
for a band of sleet.
From Sunday afternoon into Monday morning, the surface low tracks
tracks northeast into Lower Michigan. This results in a southwest to
northeast pivot. In addition, a deformation band develops. This will
prolong the snow over the area longer. The NBM v5.0 has the
probabilities of a foot or greater of snow from 60 to 94 percent
north on Austin Minnesota to the Wisconsin Dells line. The highest
probabilities is along and north of Interstate 94. The probabilities
for 18 inches or more ranges from 40 to 80 percent north of
Interstate 94. Again the highest probabilities are along and north
of Interstate 94.
The winds increase into the 40 to 50 mph range across southeast
Minnesota and northeast Iowa on Sunday afternoon and they
continue into Sunday night. This could potentially result in
Blizzard conditions.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY/...
Issued at 522 AM CDT Fri Mar 13 2026
Snow showers with potential to reduce visibility under 1 mile
are the main concern in the immediate term and through this
afternoon. These snow showers are currently affecting an axis
around RGK to ONA and are sliding to the east-southeast. These
are expected to slip north of LSE and move over BCK and
potentially CMY. Moving ahead to the daytime and afternoon
hours, additional snow showers may develop but the area at risk
will slowly shift eastward as the day goes on and mainly be
confined to areas east of an EAU-82C line after 18z. Strong
west-northwesterly winds are also ongoing at issuance time with
gusts over 50 knots seen at RST/9MN/FKA. Core of strongest winds
will shift southeast and affect NE IA and far SW WI but areawide
gusts above 40 kts are expected. Winds will peak before 15z
before slowly decreasing through the day. As for ceilings,
widespread MVFR conditions will give way to VFR this afternoon
as cloud cover decreases and heights rise. Moving ahead beyond
the current period, widespread disruption with LIFR conditions
is increasingly probable to occur after 00z Sunday into perhaps
as late as 12z Monday due to heavy snow and blowing snow.
