AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
250 PM CDT SUN APR 26 2009

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT

FORECAST FOCUS IS SQUARELY ON THE PCPN FOR TONIGHT...AMOUNTS AND
POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING.

A WARM FRONT EXTENDED FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS INTO NORTHERN ILL
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...AND WILL LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS THE GREAT LAKE
STATES TONIGHT AS A SFC LOW MOVES INTO NORTHERN WI BY 12Z MON. A
COLD FRONT WILL RUN SOUTH/SOUTHWEST OF THE LOW...WITH BITS OF
SHORTWAVE ENERGY A LOFT RUNNING OVER THE FRONT. PLENTY OF LIFT FOR
CONTINUING AREAS OF RAIN/THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT. HOWEVER...ITS THE
AMOUNT OF MOISTURE AVAILABLE THAT COULD LEAD TO SOME HEAVY
RAIN...AND A FLOODING POTENTIAL.

LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTION ALONG AND BEHIND THE COLD FRONT IS
STRONG TONIGHT...WITH STANDARDIZED ANOMALIES OF +5 FOR 850-700 MB
MOISTURE FLUX INTO THE FORECAST AREA. PW/S ARE PROGGED OVER 1.5
INCHES...WITH ANOMALIES OF +2. WARM CLOUD DEPTH AROUND 3 KM
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FOR MUCH OF TONIGHT. ALL IN ALL...COPIOUS
AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE AVAILABLE FOR RAIN PRODUCTION...AND POTENTIALLY
HEAVY RAIN. WITH MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY RUNNING PARALLEL TO THE
SOMEWHAT SLOW MOVING COLD FRONT...TRAINING STORMS COULD ALSO BE A
CONCERN. ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS THROUGH 12Z MON OF 1 TO 2 INCHES
//PERHAPS 3// LOOKS LIKELY FOR A GOOD PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA.
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS ALREADY IN EFFECT UNTIL 12Z MON. WILL
CONTINUE THE WATCH...BUT EXPAND IT A FEW COUNTIES NORTH TO ACCOUNT
FOR RECENT RAINS IN THOSE LOCATIONS...AND SOME POTENTIAL RIVER
FLOODING IF EXPECTED RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE REALIZED.

THE BULK OF THE RAIN WILL SHIFT EAST OF THE FORECAST AREAS BY
MID/LATE MORNING ON MONDAY...WITH THE BULK OF THE ACCUMULATIONS
LIKELY BY 12Z. IN THE AFTERNOON...HOWEVER...ANOTHER PACKET OF
SHORTWAVE ENERGY WILL SPIN THROUGH THE PLAINS AND ACROSS THE REGION
DURING THE AFTERNOON. THIS COULD LEAD TO SOME SCATTERED SHOWER
ACTIVITY. ADDED SOME SMALL POPS IN FOR THE AFTERNOON TO ACCOUNT FOR
THIS.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS ACROSS THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI ON
TUES/WED...GIVING THE REGION A COUPLE DAYS TO DRY OUT FROM THE
RECENT RAINFALL. HOWEVER...BY LATER IN THE DAY WEDNESDAY...BOTH THE
26.12Z GFS AND NAM HINT AT SOME SHORTWAVE ENERGY EJECTING OUT OF A
SOMEWHAT FLAT TROUGH OVER THE WEST COAST. A WARM FRONT WILL BE
LIFTING NORTHWARD INTO SOUTHERN IA/CENTRAL ILL BY 00Z THU...WITH
GOOD 850-700 MB WARM AIR ADVECTION INTO SOUTHERN MN/SOUTHERN WI
NORTH OF THE SFC FRONT. PRETTY GOOD 850 MB MOISTURE RETURN INTO AND
NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT...WITH SOME LOW LEVEL JET INTERACTION. THE
NAM IS A BIT MORE ROBUST WITH THESE VARIABLES COMPARED TO THE GFS.
PCPN SHOULD DEVELOP ALONG AND NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT AS A RESULT.
THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE A BIT SLOWER AND FARTHER WEST WITH THIS SYSTEM
COMPARED TO THE NAM...AND THEREFORE...SO IS THE PCPN. WILL TREND
TOWARD THE GFS/EC. THE BEST CHANCES...LOCALLY...WILL LIKELY BE ON
THURSDAY.

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL SPIN EAST ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PLAINS...SLIDING ACROSS THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY ON FRI.
AN ACCOMPANYING SFC LOW WILL BE OUT AHEAD OF THE UPPER LEVEL
FEATURE...MOVING INTO THE REGION BY 00Z FRI. ECMWF AND GFS DIFFER ON
THEIR PLACEMENT OF THE LOW...BUT BOTH WOULD BRING PCPN CHANCES FOR
THU/FRI. THE MORE NORTHWARD TRACK OF THE LOW VIA THE EC WOULD
SUGGEST SOME THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER. HIGH PRESSURE THEN LOOKS TO
TAKE OVER FOR THE WEEKEND. THE EC WOULD SWING ANOTHER STORM
NORTHEAST OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS FOR SUN NIGHT THOUGH...AND ITS
TRACK COULD BRING SOME WET WEATHER AS FAR NORTH AS SOUTHERN
MN/SOUTHERN WI. THE GFS IS FARTHER SOUTH WITH THIS SYSTEM...AND
WOULD KEEP THE LOCAL AREA DRY.

&&

.AVIATION...

CEILINGS ARE GRADUALLY RISING FROM IFR TO MVFR BEHIND THE SHORT WAVE
ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL IOWA. DESPITE THE GFS LAMP CONTINUING TO KEEP
IFR CONDITIONS THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...THESE HIGHER CEILINGS APPEAR
THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA BETWEEN 26.21Z AND
27.03Z. THE CEILINGS WILL LIKELY ONCE AGAIN DROP AS RAIN AND
THUNDERSTORMS MOVE INTO THE KRST TAF AROUND 27.03Z AND KLSE TAF
AROUND 27.06Z. ONCE THESE THUNDERSTORMS MOVE IN THEY SHOULD PERSIST
ABOUT 4 TO 6 HOURS. WITH THE LOSS OF DIURNAL HEATING...THE MEAN
LAYER CAPES SHOULD QUICKLY DROP OFF DURING THE OVERNIGHT. AS A
RESULT...THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER THREAT /ALBEIT VERY SMALL/ LOOKS TO
BE MAINLY ACROSS SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA AND NORTHEAST IOWA. THIS THREAT
LOOKS TO BE MAINLY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND. ABOUT 6 TO 8 HOURS
AFTER THE FRONTAL PASSAGE...THE CEILINGS SHOULD IMPROVE FROM IFR
INTO MVFR. THIS SHOULD OCCUR SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 27.14Z AND 27.17Z.

.HYDROLOGY...

WILL EXPAND THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH NORTH A TIER OF COUNTIES. THOSE
AREAS RECEIVED A DECENT AMOUNT OF RAIN OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS //AN
INCH OR SO//...AND IF CURRENT EXPECTED RAIN TOTALS COME TO
PASS...SOME RIVERS IN THOSE AREAS WOULD GO INTO FLOOD. THIS IS IN
ADDITION TO A FLASH FLOOD THREAT. IN FACT...MANY RIVERS ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA COULD GO INTO FLOOD IF THE QPF IS REALIZED. AS
MENTIONED IN THE SHORT TERM PORTION OF THE DISCUSSION...SEVERAL
VARIABLES ARE POINTING TOWARD A HEAVY RAIN THREAT TONIGHT...WITH 1
TO 3 INCHES LIKELY. OBVIOUSLY...RADAR TRENDS AND AMOUNTS WILL BE
MONITORED CLOSELY...AND WARNINGS //FLASH FLOOD OR RIVER FLOOD//
ISSUED AS NECESSARY.
