      • StormTeam 8 Detailed Forecast

        Bill Graul, Meteorologist

        Bill has been a member of the StormTeam at News 8 since March of 1998 when he first started as the weekend meteorologist.

        TODAY'S FORECAST:  High 40°/Low 29°... Mix of sun & clouds today. Clouds thicken tonight with a chance of snow after about 4AM. A **WINTER STORM WATCH** now in effect for Thursday with periods of accumulating snow expected.

        Updated Wednesday, February 22, 2012 at 11:25 AM...

        Many areas will see some sunshine this morning, but expect some clouds at times today as well. The cause for the clouds is a disturbance sliding by to our south across Iowa today. There's also a weak disturbance sliding E/SE out of North Dakota this morning that will cause some clouds at times this afternoon. It could even squeeze out a few sprinkles or flurries in some spots. Expect highs today around 40º, with much lighter winds from the west at 5-10 mph.

        Tonight a "hybrid-clipper" system approaches from the west. I call it a hybrid because it will have some Pacific moisture to work with, and typical clippers do not. Clouds will thicken this evening with a chance of snow developing after about 4AM. Lows tonight will slip into the upper 20s.

        **UPDATE** Periods of accumulating snow is looking more and more likely for Thursday. This morning I said the forecast snowfall for this system on Thursday was a tricky one because one lone computer model indicated around 6" of snow possible in La Crosse, while most others barely gave us 1". Well guess what, most of the models are jumping ship and joining the more northerly track, stronger and snowier solution that was the outlier this morning. As a result, I've increased my forecast snowfall totals for tomorrow by about 3". So at this point it looks like the lightest amounts of a Tr. -3" will be possible along & north of I-94 (including Eau Claire), with 2"-6" possible elsewhere (including Winona, La Crosse, Tomah and Viroqua). Some of the models even advertise localized heavier amounts of 6"-8" in a few spots. Stay tuned for updates to this snowfall forecast as we'll get another couple sets of model data in by later tonight. This way we can see if the latest model runs are verifying this stronger and snowier solution.

        Looking Ahead... Another weaker disturbance slides southeast across the region Friday. This will keep plenty of clouds around along with a chance of light snow showers or flurries. Just minor if any accumulations of a trace to a couple tenths of an inch are possible Friday. Highs Friday will be seasonable in the low-mid 30s.

        High pressure will bring a dry Saturday with highs in the low-mid 30s under partly cloudy skies.

        We're still watching a strong storm that could impact the region on Sunday and Monday. This mornings model guidance is trending the center of the low farther north, meaning we would see more of a rain/snow mix in our area. This would keep the heaviest accumulating snow to our northwest across the Dakotas and into Central and NW Minnesota. I'm not going to get too cute with the forecast on this storm just yet as the energy for this system is still well out over the Pacific Ocean. Once the system get closer to and over land, then the computer models tend to latch on to better data. That's when we'll start fine tuning this forecast, but stay tuned for updates on the Sun/Mon system. It looks like it will be quite windy with this system as well.

        The computer models have now flip-flopped again for next Tuesday & Thursday... going back to spinning up another fairly strong storm that could bring a rain/snow mix (Tue) and snow (Wed). Once again... stay tuned for updates as it seems we're in for a wild end to February. -Bill Graul
