Areal Flood Warning 4, NWS La Crosse, WI

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
338 AM CDT THU JUL 28 2011

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS ARE ON THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TODAY THROUGH
THIS EVENING.

CURRENT RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS A BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDING FROM
FLOYD COUNTY...EASTWARD THROUGH GRANT COUNTY. THESE STORMS HAVE
BEEN PRODUCING PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINFALL...ESPECIALLY ACROSS
CLAYTON AND GRANT COUNTIES. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SHOW AREAS OF
DENSE FOG ACROSS SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA AND PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST AND
CENTRAL WISCONSIN. LOOK FOR THE FOG TO PERSIST INTO THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS...REDUCING VISIBILITIES TO AROUND A QUARTER MILE AT
TIMES.

A WARM FRONT POSITIONED FROM SOUTHWEST IOWA NORTHEAST TO THE
WISCONSIN/ILLINOIS BORDER...WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT TODAY INTO THIS EVENING. MEANWHILE...SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE WILL WILL ATTEMPT TO BUILD INTO CENTRAL MINNESOTA AND
NORTHERN WISCONSIN...LIMITING THE NORTHWARD EXTENT OF THE
PRECIPITATION. AT THIS TIME IS APPEARS THE FRONT MAY LIFT SLIGHTLY
NORTHWARD DURING THE DAY TODAY...EDGING INTO NORTHEAST IOWA AND
SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES WILL CONTINUE TO BE
AROUND 190 PERCENT OF NORMAL ACROSS NORTHEAST IOWA AND FAR
SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN...WITH WARM CLOUD DEPTHS OF 4.5 KM. ANY
THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL LIKELY PRODUCE VERY HEAVY
RAINFALL. DECIDED TO EXTEND THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT.

28.00 MODELS GENERATE HEAVY PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE WARM
FRONT SO WILL INCREASE PRECIPITATION CHANCES ACROSS PORTIONS OF
NORTHEAST IOWA AND FAR SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN. WILL HAVE TO KEEP A
CLOSE EYE ON THE PROGRESSION OF THE WARM FRONT THIS AFTERNOON. 850
MB MOISTURE TRANSPORT INCREASES RAPIDLY FROM 21Z TO 00Z MAINLY SOUTH
AND EAST OF A WISCONSIN DELLS TO OELWEIN IOWA LINE.  THE STRONG
MOISTURE TRANSPORT CONTINUES ACROSS THESE AREAS THROUGH AROUND 09Z
BEFORE TAPERING OFF AND SHIFTING SOUTH INTO NORTHERN ILLINOIS.
TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL DEPEND ON HOW MUCH CLOUD COVER LINGERS
ACROSS THE REGION FROM THE EARLY MORNING CONVECTION ACROSS
NORTHEAST IOWA AND NORTHERN ILLINOIS...IN ADDITION TO SOME CIRRUS
BLOW OFF FROM OVERNIGHT CONVECTION ACROSS SOUTH DAKOTA AND
NEBRASKA. WILL KEEP HIGHS BELOW GUIDANCE ACROSS NORTHEAST IOWA AND
FAR SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN WHERE EARLY MORNING CONVECTION AND
ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT WILL HOLD TEMPERATURES DOWN. LOOK FOR HIGHS
TO RANGE FROM THE MID 80S ALONG AND NORTH OF I-90 TO THE UPPER 70S
TO LOWER 80S TO THE SOUTH. LOWS TONIGHT WILL RANGE FROM THE LOWER
60S ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN TO THE UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70
ACROSS NORTHEAST IOWA. AREAS OF FOG WILL BE POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT
AS CLEARING BUILDS INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST. FORECAST
SOUNDING KEEP A MID CLOUD DECK ACROSS THE REGION UNTIL AROUND
DAYBREAK. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR CLEARING TRENDS CLOSELY TONIGHT.

28.00 MODELS IN AGREEMENT ON FRIDAY...WITH SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING INTO THE FORECAST AREA. PLAN ON MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES...WITH
HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 80S. LIGHT WINDS AND
MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES MAY LEAD TO SOME FOG DEVELOPMENT FRIDAY NIGHT
WITH THE HIGH OVERHEAD. WILL HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON DRIER AIR MOVING
IN FROM THE NORTH WITH DEWPOINTS FALLING THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. DENSE
FOG LOOKS TO BE A POSSIBILITY FRIDAY NIGHT...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE
RIVER VALLEYS. WILL PASS ALONG TO THE NEXT SHIFT FOR FURTHER
ASSESSMENT. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE LOWER 60S ACROSS
NORTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN TO THE MID 60S ACROSS NORTHEAST IOWA.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE AREA ON SATURDAY WITH MOSTLY
SUNNY SKIES CONTINUING. LOOK FOR HIGHS TO ONCE AGAIN BE IN THE
MIDDLE TO UPPER 80S. A TROUGH WILL MOVE FROM THE EASTERN DAKOTAS
INTO THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY LATE SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS
FEATURE MAY GENERATE A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS NORTH OF
INTERSTATE 90. LOWER TEMPERATURES WILL RANGE FROM THE MID 60S TO
AROUND 70.

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

28.00 MEDIUM RANGE MODELS IN REASONABLE AGREEMENT ON SUNDAY BRINGING
A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH ACROSS THE AREA. THIS TROUGH WILL BRING A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA. AN UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE FROM THE CENTRAL DAKOTAS EASTWARD
INTO THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY SUNDAY NIGH INTO MONDAY.
THIS WILL BRING WARMER TEMPERATURES TO THE AREA WITH HIGHS IN THE
UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90. DEWPOINTS IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 70S MAY
CREATE SOME HEAT INDEX CONCERNS DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. A POTENT
SHORTWAVE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT INTO
TUESDAY...DRAGGING A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE REGION. THIS SYSTEM WILL
BRING A GOOD CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA. A
FRONTAL BOUNDARY LOOKS TO BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS NORTHERN
IOWA INTO SOUTHERN WISCONSIN ON WEDNESDAY BRINGING CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE FORECAST AREA.

&&

.AVIATION...THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY

SURFACE BOUNDARY LOCATED ALONG THE ILLINOIS BORDER THEN NORTHWARD
INTO SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA. BAND OF CONVECTION ON NOSE OF MOISTURE
TRANSPORT REMAINING OVER EASTERN IOWA INTO NORTHERN ILLINOIS. TO THE
NORTH OF THIS..MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER ALONG WITH LIGHT WINDS AND SOME
POCKETS OF CLEAR SKIES HAVE ALLOWED FOG AND LOW CLOUDS TO DEVELOP
WITH IFR/VLIFR CONDITIONS AT KRST. THESE ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST
THROUGH AT LEAST 14Z THIS MORNING. AT KLSE...IFR CONDITIONS ALSO
EXPECTED THROUGH 14Z THIS MORNING. CONDITIONS THEN WILL GRADUALLY
IMPROVE 14Z-17Z AT BOTH TAF SITES. THE REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD WILL
SEE JUST HIGH CLOUDS AND VFR CONDITIONS AS BOUNDARY REMAINS TO THE
SOUTH. IF THIS BOUNDARY PUSHES NORTHWARD AS SOME MODELS
INDICATE...SOME SCATTERED TO ISOLATED CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE AT
THE TAF SITES. BUT NOT CONFIDENT ENOUGH OF THIS HAPPENING TO INCLUDE
IN THE TAFS.

BEYOND 06Z FRIDAY WILL HAVE TO MONITOR CLEARING TREND FROM THE NORTH
AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FOG AT THE TAF
SITES.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES WILL CONTINUE ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA TODAY
INTO THIS EVENING. ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL LIKELY
PRODUCE HEAVY RAIN WITH WARM CLOUD DEPTHS OF 4.5 KM AND
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES RUNNING AROUND 190 PERCENT OF NORMAL. IN
ADDITION...HEAVY RAIN FELL ACROSS FAYETTE...CLAYTON...AND GRANT
COUNTIES OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY THIS MORNING. ANY ADDITIONAL RAIN ON
TOP OF ALREADY SATURATED SOILS WILL LEAD TO RUNOFF AND FLASH
FLOODING. HAVE DECIDED TO EXTEND THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR
FAYETTE...CLAYTON...AND GRANT COUNTIES THROUGH MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.
