Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service La Crosse WI 249 AM CST Mon Mar 7 2022 .DISCUSSION...(Today through Sunday) Issued at 249 AM CST Mon Mar 7 2022 Key Messages: - Snow this morning - Snow Tuesday afternoon and evening - Snow chances and amounts from Wednesday night through Friday At 3 AM, snow was falling south of a line from Charles City IA to Mauston, WI. This snow was developing in area of strong 800-600 mb frontogenesis. As the column cools early this morning, amount of the sounding in the dendritic growth zone will increase up to 150 mb. This will help increase the rates between 4 AM and 7 AM and then the frontogenesis will quickly wane. As this occurs, the snow will come to an end. It still looks like there will be a narrow 2 to 5" snow band across southwest Wisconsin (mainly south of the Wisconsin River) and parts of northeast Iowa. A dry conveyor belt near and north of the Interstate 90 corridor will limit the snow in this area. On Tuesday afternoon/evening, a cold front will move southeast through the region. The models continue to show that there will be strong 900-700 mb frontogenesis. However, there continues to be limited moisture across the region. As a result, only have a 20 percent chance of snow from southeast Minnesota northeast into north-central Wisconsin. From Wednesday night through Friday, a shortwave though will move through the region. Unlike the past couple of days, the operational models keep the surface low to our south and southeast as it moves northeast from southern Illinois through central Indiana into northwest Ohio. As a result, the models have been confining their snow chances more south of Interstate 90 west of the Mississippi River and across southern and eastern Wisconsin. As a result, the overall spread and means in the GEFS and ECMWF have been decreasing for locations along and north of Interstate 90 over the past 4 model runs. The GEFS ensemble mean has around a 1" of snow for La Crosse and around 6" for Dubuque, IA, and the ECE had an average of 1" at La Crosse and 3" and Dubuque. Due to the overall trends in the models since the 06.06z run, the snow chances were decreased some north of Interstate 90. High temperatures today will range from the upper 20s to mid-30s and then range from the upper 30s to mid-40s on Tuesday. Temperatures will then cool into the 20s and 30s for Wednesday and the 20s for the remainder of the week. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night) Issued at 1151 PM CST Sun Mar 6 2022 MVFR ceilings are expected to continue as light snow pushes mainly to the south overnight and Monday morning. Did include a couple of hours where KLSE may see some light snow. Conditions improve as the storm system pulls away after 17Z. Northwest winds continue 6 to 16kts.
