AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
345 AM CDT TUE MAR 22 2011

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT

QUITE A MESSY WEATHER SCENARIO THROUGH THE NEXT 24-36 HOURS WITH
BOTH WINTER AND FLOOD HEADLINES GOING. FOCUS WILL BE ON A VERY
DYNAMIC STORM SYSTEM MOVING EAST OUT OF THE PLAINS TODAY. THIS STORM
HAS MULTIPLE FACETS INCLUDING WINTRY MIX/HEAVY SNOW POTENTIAL ACROSS
THE NORTH AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THREAT ACROSS THE SOUTH. IN
ADDITION...HEAVY RAINFALL WILL LIKELY LEAD TO SOME FLOODING ISSUES
AS WELL.

SURFACE MAP AT 3 AM HAS DEEPENING AREA OF LOW PRESSURE OVER WESTERN
NEBRASKA WITH A WARM FRONT EXTENDING THROUGH NORTHERN MO. A VERY
STRONG LOW LEVEL JET WAS DEPICTED AHEAD OF THE LOW BY REGIONAL
VWP/WIND PROFILERS ACROSS THE PLAINS...POINTING INTO OUR AREA. NOSE
OF THIS JET STRONG LIFT NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT WAS PRODUCING A
BROAD LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS FROM EASTERN SD THROUGH SOUTHERN
MN...INTO SOUTHWEST PORTIONS OF OUR FORECAST AREA.

22.00Z NCEP DETERMINISTIC MODELS AS WELL AS THE 22.03Z SREF ALL IN
PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT ON OVERALL SYNOPTIC SITUATION.

FOR TODAY...WILL CONTINUE TO SEE A NORTHEAST PUSH OF THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY INTO THE AREA. NORTHEASTERLY WINDS DRAWING IN COOLER AIR
FROM UPPER MICHIGAN/SOUTHERN ONTARIO. THIS WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON
PRECIPITATION TYPES FOR NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA AS THIS
PRECIPITATION MOVES NORTHEAST. IN THE MEANTIME...CONTINUED STRONG
MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND VERY STRONG/STEEPLY SLOPED FRONTOGENESIS
DEPICTED BY THE MODELS WILL LIKELY PRODUCE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS
THROUGH THE DAY...EVEN ACROSS THE NORTH WITH ELEVATED CAPE. THIS
COULD PRODUCE THUNDERSNOW/RAIN AND SLEET FOR AREAS NORTHEAST OF THE
I-94 CORRIDOR. FURTHER SOUTH...ENOUGH WARM AIR WILL EXIST FOR ALL
RAIN ALONG WITH THUNDERSTORMS.  WILL HAVE TO WATCH ACROSS THE FAR
SOUTH LATER THIS AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING AS THE LOW APPROACHES. THE
WARM FRONT WILL BE JUST TO OUR SOUTH AND COULD EVEN EEK INTO FAR
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA. THIS WILL HAVE A BEARING ON SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM MODE AS THERE MAY BE A  SMALL TORNADO THREAT IF THE
WARM FRONT DOES MANAGE TO GET THAT FAR NORTH GIVEN STRONG SHEAR
PROFILES. OTHERWISE...HEAVY PRECIPITATION TOTALS LOOK LIKELY FOR
TODAY. THIS WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON AREA RIVERS AND STREAMS. SEE
HYDROLOGY SECTION BELOW. WILL CONVERT THE WINTER STORM WATCH TO A
WINTER STORM WARNING ACROSS THE NORTH FOR TODAY THROUGH TOMORROW.
ALSO WENT WITH A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR JUNEAU/ADAMS AND
JACKSON COUNTIES GIVEN THE MIXED SLEET AND SNOW POTENTIAL.

AS THE LOW TRACKS FURTHER EAST THROUGH NORTHERN IL LATER TONIGHT
THROUGH WEDNESDAY...LOOK FOR COOLER AIR TO FILTER IN ACROSS THE
AREA. LOOKS LIKE SNOW WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE NORTH/NORTH OF I-94
WITH A MIX OF RAIN/SLEET AND SNOW SOUTH. SNOW TOTALS TODAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY COULD END UP IN THE 10-15 INCH RANGE ACROSS CLARK/TAYLOR
COUNTIES...ESPECIALLY WITH THE THUNDERSNOW/HEAVY SNOW RATE POTENTIAL
TODAY INTO THIS EVENING.

LINGERING DEFORMATION -SN LOOKS LIKELY THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT
ACROSS THE AREA...BUT LESS THAN AN INCH EXPECTED MOST AREAS.

THURSDAY LOOKS TO BE DRY BUT UNSEASONABLY COOL AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN FROM CANADA.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY

WITH MAIN FOCUS ON THE NEAR TERM...LITTLE TIME GIVEN TO THE LONG
TERM. 22.00Z GFS/ECMWF SHOW A WEAK MID-LEVEL TROUGH MOVING IN FROM
THE PLAINS FOR A CHANCE OF RAIN/SNOW ACROSS MAINLY THE SOUTH ON
FRIDAY/SATURDAY. REST OF THE PERIOD WILL BE DOMINATED BY COOLER
WEATHER AS A DEEP MID/UPPER LEVEL TROUGH LINGERS OVER EASTERN
CANADA/GREAT LAKES REGION.

&&

.AVIATION...TODAY AND TONIGHT

LOOK FOR MVFR TO VFR CEILINGS TO QUICKLY GO DOWNHILL THIS MORNING AS
A BAND OF SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPS AND MOVE
NORTHWARD ACROSS THE TAF SITES. CEILINGS SHOULD DROP TO LIFR AT KRST
AND IFR AT KLSE IN THE WAKE OF THE BAND. SOME MVFR BR IS EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP AS WELL. WITH A SURFACE WARM FRONT EXPECTED TO REMAIN NEAR
OR JUST NORTH OF I-80 THROUGH THIS EVENING AND MOISTURE MOVING NORTH
OVER THE FRONT...SITUATION LOOKS FAVORABLE FOR CEILINGS TO HOLD
NEARLY STEADY. IN ADDITION...WITH A COOL...GUSTY EASTERLY FLOW...
ANTICIPATING VISIBILITIES DROPPING TO AT LEAST IFR AT KRST AND MVFR
AT KLSE. THE AFOREMENTIONED GUSTY WINDS COULD APPROACH AS HIGH AS 30
KNOTS AT KRST THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. ALSO DURING THE AFTERNOON
AND EVENING...A ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS IS POSSIBLE AS INSTABILITY
OVER IOWA GETS RELEASED NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT. AFTER MIDNIGHT...AN
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE WARM FRONT WILL TRACK EAST
INTO NORTHERN ILLINOIS...ALLOWING COLD AIR TO FLOW SOUTH INTO THE
TAF SITES. SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION IS LIKELY TO BE ONGOING AS THE
COLD AIR MOVES IN...BUT RIGHT NOW IT APPEARS PRECIPITATION WILL STAY
IN THE FORM OF RAIN. BOTH CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES SHOULD IMPROVE
SLIGHTLY WITH THE COLDER AIR FLOWING IN AS WELL...BUT PLENTY OF LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE AROUND WILL KEEP ANY INCREASE SLIGHT AT BEST.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

RAINFALL FROM THE WEEKEND HAS PRODUCED RESPONSES ON MOST AREA
TRIBUTARIES AS MISSISSIPPI RIVER CONTINUES TO CLIMB QUIETLY.

MUCH CONCERN ABOUT WHAT IMPACT PRECIPITATION TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY
WILL HAVE ON RIVERS WITH RAINFALL AMOUNTS IN THE 1 TO 2 INCH RANGE.
ANY RIVERS THAT ARE FALLING WILL REBOUND EVEN FASTER AND COULD SEE
NUMEROUS FLOOD WARNINGS GOING THROUGH TODAY INTO WEDNESDAY WITH THIS
SCENARIO. GIVEN THIS POTENTIAL...WILL KEEP A FLOOD WATCH GOING FOR
NOT ONLY RIVERS AND STREAMS...BUT COULD SEE PONDING OF WATER AND
SOME ROAD CLOSURES GIVEN RECENT SNOW MELT AND HEAVY RAIN THREAT.
TRIBUTARIES IN THE REGION WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY THROUGH
THIS WEEK.
