SHORT TERM. (Issued 340 AM CDT Wed Apr 14 2021)
Today and Tonight:
There are light snow showers moving through the La Crosse area early this morning. These are associated with the leading edge of a mid-level vort max that will be swinging through southern WI this morning. The column of air is very dry in our area right now, especially toward the IL border. Outside of a few flurries or sprinkles north of I-94, we should be dry this morning. For this afternoon, steep low level lapse rates under the cyclonic flow could be enough squeeze out a few very light rain showers.
North-northwest winds will increase with cold air advection as this low finally starts to exit our area late tonight. It will be another chilly night with temperatures dropping down to around 34 again.

LONG TERM. (Issued 340 AM CDT Wed Apr 14 2021)
Thursday through Tuesday:
Winds will gradually diminish Thursday afternoon as the pressure gradient relaxes. This should allow for a late afternoon lake breeze to develop.
A weakening upper low will track across the Midwest on Saturday, but any precip associated with it should remain to our south.
The next system of interest is a surface low that is expected to sweep across Lake Superior on Monday and drag a cold front through WI. The GFS is much stronger than the ECWMF with the strength of this low, but models are becoming fairly consistent with light precip along and behind the front. With negative 850mb temps, we have a chance at some light snow Monday afternoon/evening.
It looks like we are going to be stuck in this cool and brisk northwest flow pattern for a while as an upper low sits and spins over central Canada.

AVIATION. (Issued 340 AM CDT Wed Apr 14 2021)
Look for clouds to increase again from the northwest this morning. Cloud bases should be VFR, but patchy MVFR is possible with a small chance for light rain and snow showers/flurries. MVFR ceilings are possible tonight.
Cronce
MARINE. (Issued 340 AM CDT Wed Apr 14 2021)
Gusty northerly winds will develop late tonight as low pressure finally exits the Upper Great Lakes region. Wind gusts up to 30 kt will diminish from west to east Thursday afternoon. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect for late tonight through early Thursday afternoon. Winds will be lighter for Friday through the weekend, so expect a lake breeze each day.
