FLOOD WATCH
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
934 PM CDT THU AUG 24 2006

...HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL CONTINUES ACROSS PORTIONS OF
SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA AND WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN TONIGHT...

.A WARM FRONT EXTENDING FROM EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA TO SOUTHERN
WISCONSIN WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO
CONTINUE ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA...WESTERN AND

...RAIN DIMINISHING ACROSS THE REGION...

.THE UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE THAT WAS LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR
SPAWNING THE THUNDERSTORMS OF LAST NIGHT AND EARLY THIS MORNING
WILL MOVE EAST TODAY...AND THEREFORE SHIFT THE THREAT FOR HEAVY
RAIN AWAY FROM THE LOCAL AREA. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS CAN STILL BE EXPECTED...MOSTLY ALONG AND EAST OF
THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD IN
TONIGHT...AND BRING SEVERAL DRY DAYS.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
339 AM CDT THU AUG 24 2006

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT

FORECAST CONCERNS THIS PACKAGE...HEAVY RAIN THREAT TONIGHT...SHRA/
TSRA CHANCES AND TEMPERATURES THRU THE PERIOD.

DATA ANALYSIS AT 06Z SHOWED THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY NEAR A KDLL-KLSE-
KRST-KBKX LINE TO A LOW IN SOUTH-CENTRAL SD. AIRMASS SOUTH OF
THE FRONT WAS QUITE MOIST...WITH CAPES IN THE 900-850MB LAYER
STILL IN THE 1K-2K J/KG RANGE EARLY THIS MORNING. MDT 900-850MB
MOISTURE TRANSPORT/WARM ADVECTION OF THIS AIRMASS INTO/OVER THE
BOUNDARY CONTINUED TO FUEL STRONG TO SEVERE TSRA OVER PARTS OF
CENTRAL/SOUTHEAST WI ON EDGE OF 700MB WARM LAYER/CAPPING.

NO GLARING ERRORS NOTED WITH 24/00Z MODEL INITIALIZATIONS. NAM DID
INITIALIZE THE SFC DEW POINT FIELD ACROSS THE NORTH CENTRAL CONUS ON
THE DRY SIDE...WHILE GFS WAS ON THE WET SIDE. MODELS OFFER
REASONABLY SIMILAR SOLUTIONS FOR TODAY THRU FRI NIGHT...THEN DIVERGE
WITH THE HANDLING OF A SYSTEM LIFTING THRU THE MID MS VALLEY.
DPROG/DT OF 500MB HGTS AT 24/00Z SHOWED THE 22/00Z AND 23/00Z
NAM/GFS VERIFIED QUITE WELL ACROSS NOAM...WITH ONLY A SLIGHT EDGE TO
GFS ACROSS THE EASTERN PAC. FOR 00-36HRS...TREND IS TOWARD A MODEL
COMPROMISE WITH THE TROUGH OVER THE REGION AT 36HRS AND TOWARD THE
EARLIER GFS RUNS WITH THE TROUGHING OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. FOR
36-60HRS GFS SHOWS THE BETTER RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY WITH ITS
23/00Z RUN WHILE NAM HAS TRENDED TOWARD IT WITH A WEAKER REMNANT
TROUGH OVER THE REGION AND TROUGHING OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES.
IN THE 60-84HR TIME-FRAME...CONSIDERABLE DIFFERENCES APPEAR BETWEEN
NAM/GFS AND FROM RUN-TO-RUN WITHIN THE GFS. OVERALL GFS TREND IS
LESS PROGRESSIVE/WEAKER WITH SHORTWAVE ENERGY OUT OF THE ROCKIES
THRU SAT NIGHT. 24/00Z NAM SOLUTION ACTUALLY QUITE SIMILAR TO 23/00Z
GFS RUN...WHICH MAY GIVE THE WETTER SCENARIO FOR SAT/SAT NIGHT SOME
CREDENCE. OBS DATA/MODEL CHECK AT 06Z SHOWED NAM TO HAVE THE BETTER
FIT TO THE SFC DEWPOINT FIELD ACROSS THE NORTH-CENTRAL CONUS. WV
IMAGERY SHOWED BOTH NAM/GFS WITH DECENT DEPICTIONS OF THE SHORTWAVE
ENERGY OVER ID/SOUTHERN ALB...WHILE NAM LOOKED BETTER WITH THE
SECONDARY SHORTWAVE APPROACHING THE OR/WA COAST. OVERALL...NAM A BIT
BETTER WITH THE 00Z-06Z PRECIP ACROSS THE REGION...AS IT HAS BEEN
FOR MOST OF THE PERIODS SINCE 23/06Z-12Z. WITH NAM LOOKING TO HAVE
THE BETTER HANDLE ON FEATURES EARLY THIS MORNING...FAVORED IT
SOLUTION FOR TODAY THROUGH FRI NIGHT. TOUGHER CHOICE FOR SAT/SAT
NIGHT AS NAM GETS SUPPORT FROM UKMET WHILE ECMWF IS CLOSE TO A
NAM/GFS COMPROMISE. PREVIOUS FORECAST MORE IN LINE WITH NAM/UKMET
SOLUTION AND LEANED TOWARD THAT SOLUTION FOR CONTINUITY SAKE.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE AVERAGE FOR TODAY THRU FRI NIGHT...THEN QUITE
LOW WITH ALL THE MODEL VARIABILITY FOR SAT/SAT NIGHT.

FOR THE SHORT TERM...MAIN PROBLEM FOR TODAY/TONIGHT IS WHERE WILL
THE FRONT END UP. MODELS GENERALLY SAG THIS BOUNDARY SOUTH FROM ITS
PRESENT LOCATION TODAY...INTO NORTHERN IA. NOT SURE HOW PLAUSIBLE
THIS IS WITH INCREASING SOUTHERLY FLOW AS THE SFC LOW MOVES EAST AND
THE NORTHERN ROCKIES SHORTWAVE EJECTS INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS.
WOULD EXPECT THIS BOUNDARY TO DRIFT NORTH MUCH LIKE WED...BUT THIS
WILL DEPEND ON EXTENT OF CONVECTION NEAR/ALONG THE BOUNDARY DURING
THE DAY. CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW AND DIFFERENTIAL HEATING ALONG THE
BOUNDARY UNDER CLEAR VS. CLOUDY SKIES WOULD ACT TO STRENGTHEN THE
FRONT AND WOULD TEND TO HOLD IT IN PLACE OR MOVE IT SOUTH. ANOTHER
QUESTION IS THE STRENGTH OF THE CAP WEST OF THE MS RIVER TODAY...TO
INHIBIT CONVECTION ALONG THE BOUNDARY UNTIL PEAK HEATING AND
INCREASING DYNAMICS/FORCING/LIFT WITH THE APPROACHING LOW/SHORTWAVE
AND THE INCREASING LOW LEVEL WIND FIELDS. CAP STRONG ON WED BUT
NAM/GFS DIFFER ON ITS STRENGTH TODAY...NAM MINIMAL...GFS STRONG.
EITHER WAY...MODELS EVENTUALLY ERUPT CONVECTION ALONG/NORTH OF THE
FRONT NEAR MN/IA BORDER BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AS THE LIFT/
CONVERGENCE STRENGTHEN...THEN MOVE IT EAST DURING THE EVENING AS THE
LOW/MID LEVEL TROUGH MOVES EAST AND THE LOW LEVEL JET VEERS. GIVEN
STRENGTH OF THE WIND FIELDS AND THE MOVING SYSTEM...CORFIDI VECTORS
ON THE ORDER OF 20 TO 30KTS. SEE HYDROLOGY SECTION FOR MORE THOUGHTS
ON HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL. GIVEN STRENGTH OF WIND FIELDS...INSTABILITY
AND PROXIMITY OF FRONT FOR ENHANCED LOW LEVEL SHEAR...SWODY1 LOOKS
GOOD. SYSTEM TRANSLATES EAST/NORTH OF THE AREA BY FRI MORNING...WITH
A DOWNWARD TREND IN SHRA/TSRA CHANCES THRU FRI/FRI NIGHT AND THIS
ALREADY WELL TRENDED IN GRID-SET. TRENDED SHRA/TSRA CHANCES DOWN FOR
SAT WITH A DRIER AIRMASS PUSHING INTO THE AREA...BUT WITH LOW
CONFIDENCE AND MODELS AT ODDS DID NOT REMOVE THEM COMPLETELY.
CONTINUED THE SMALL CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF THE
FORECAST AREA SAT NIGHT...WITH AGAIN NOT ENOUGH CONFIDENCE TO RAISE
OR REMOVE THEM AT THIS POINT. FAVORED A COMPROMISE OF GUIDANCE HIGHS
FOR TODAY/FRI. GUIDANCE LOWS FOR TONIGHT QUITE SIMILAR AND LOOK
GOOD. WITH SOME CLOUDS AND WINDS FOR BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING...FAVORED
WARMER OF GUIDANCE LOWS FRI NIGHT. FAVORED A BLEND OF GUIDANCE HIGHS
FOR SAT GIVEN ALL THE UNCERTAINTY. TRENDED LOWS DOWN A BIT SAT NIGHT
TO BLEND WITH NEIGHBORING GRIDS BUT STILL ABOUT A CATEGORY ABOVE
24/00Z GFS MEX GUIDANCE DUE TO THE LOWER CONFIDENCE.

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

LATEST GFS/ECMWF REASONABLY SIMILAR TO EACH OTHER AND THEIR PREVIOUS
RUNS THRU WED...WITH RIDGING ALOFT BUILDING OVER CENTRAL NOAM AND
TROUGHING DEVELOPING ALONG THE WEST COAST. HIGH PRESSURE STILL LOOKS
TO SETTLE ACROSS THE REGION FOR MUCH OF THE DAY 4-7 PERIOD...WITH
THE DRY AND SEASONABLE FORECAST DEPICTED IN THE SUN-WED GRID-SET
LOOKING WELL TRENDED FOR NOW.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES EXPECTED TO BE AROUND 2
INCHES FOR TONIGHT. GIVEN THIS AND STRENGTH OF FORCING/MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE QPF AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES WITH STRONGER TSRA
REASONABLE. BIG QUESTION REMAINS WHERE FORCING/CONVERGENCE WILL BE
FOCUSED. THIS WILL BE HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON WHERE THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY
LIES LATE THIS AFTERNOON...A DETAIL THAT THE MODELS HAVE STRUGGLED
WITH THE PAST 24-48HRS. GIVEN THIS UNCERTAINTY...6HR FLASH FLOOD
GUIDANCE VALUES OF 3 TO 4 INCHES ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA AND
MDT/STRONG MEAN WIND FLOW TO KEEP STORMS MOVING...WILL DEFER ANY
FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR TONIGHT TO DAY CREW. HOPEFULLY DETAILS WILL
COME TOGETHER AND DAY CREW WILL BE ABLE TO DETERMINE WHERE THE
GREATEST FLOODING THREAT EXISTS. DID CONTINUE MENTION OF HEAVY RAIN
IN THE FORECAST GRIDS/ZONES.

254 PM CDT THU AUG 24 2006

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST
MINNESOTA...NORTHEAST IOWA...AND SOUTHWEST INTO CENTRAL WISCONSIN.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

THERE IS A SLIGHT TO MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
THE AREA THIS EVENING. THE MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE STORMS IS FOR
LOCATIONS GENERALLY WEST OF A LINE FROM EAU CLAIRE TO LA CROSSE. A
NEARLY STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY WAS LOCATED ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN
WISCONSIN TO FAR SOUTHERN MINNESOTA. INSTABILITY AND THE FLOW OF
MOISTURE INTO AND OVER THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL INCREASE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING AS A LOW AND UPPER DISTURBANCE MOVE EAST
OUT OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS. WINDS ALOFT WILL INCREASE AS WELL AND
BECOME QUITE FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.

LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE SEVERE THREATS ACROSS THE
ENTIRE AREA THIS EVENING. THE THREAT OF ISOLATED TORNADOES ALSO
EXISTS...BUT THE LOCATION OF THIS THREAT WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH
WHERE THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS LOCATED. AT THE PRESENT TIME THE THREAT
FOR AN ISOLATED TORNADO LOOKS TO BE NORTH AND WEST OF A LINE FROM
OSAGE IOWA...TO VIROQUA WISCONSIN...TO BLACK RIVER FALLS WISCONSIN.

WITH A VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS BEING LIFTED NORTH OVER THE
FRONT...THERE IS ALSO THE THREAT OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS AND A
POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING TONIGHT. THIS THREAT APPEARS TO BE
MAINLY ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 90.

STAY TUNED FOR LATER OUTLOOKS WHICH WILL REFINE WHERE THE FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO BE...THE TIMING AND THE THREAT AREAS FOR THIS POTENTIAL
SEVERE WEATHER EPISODE.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE FOR FRIDAY AND FRIDAY
NIGHT. INSTABILITY AND WINDS ALOFT WILL BE LESS FAVORABLE...THUS ANY
THUNDERSTORMS DURING THIS TIME PERIOD ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE SEVERE.
QUIET HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO SETTLE ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST
FOR SUNDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER GROUPS SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR ACTIVATION THIS EVENING...
ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA AND NORTHEAST IOWA. THE MAIN
SEVERE THREAT TIMES APPEAR TO BE BETWEEN 5 OR 6 PM THROUGH MIDNIGHT.
DUE TO THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT...ANY RAINFALL REPORTS WOULD ALSO BE
APPRECIATED.

.EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATION...

NO CALL IS SCHEDULED.
