Fire Weather Planning Forecast
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
413 AM CDT Thu Apr 5 2018

...Continued Well Below Normal Temperatures the Next Several Days,
More Widespread Accumulating snow Possible Sunday and Sunday Night...

.DISCUSSION...The upper level flow pattern will continue to bring
Canadian high pressure systems into the Upper Midwest into early next
week. This will keep temperatures some 10 to 20 degrees below the
early April normals today through Monday, and keep the snow cover 
from melting too quickly. One weak disturbance in the flow may bring 
some light snow to locations northeast of I-94 this evening. A 
stronger system thru the flow then looks to bring more widespread 
snowfall accumulations to the districts Sunday and Sunday night. This
mainly southwest of I-94. The upper level pattern starts to shift 
next week, with temperatures looking to return to near normal by 
Wednesday. With the warming will come rain chances by later Wednesday
and Wednesday night.
