AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
626 PM CDT TUE APR 9 2013

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 359 PM CDT TUE APR 9 2013

VERY ACTIVE/DIVERSE WEATHER IN STORE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
QUITE AN ACTIVE WEATHER DAY ALREADY WITH MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL
ALONG WITH THUNDERSTORMS THIS MORNING AND SOME HAIL. CURRENTLY IN A
LULL WITH THE MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE THAT CAUSED THE FIRST WAVE OF
RAIN/THUNDERSTORMS NOW OVER FAR EASTERN WI.

WATER VAPOR IMAGERY THIS AFTERNOON HAS A DEEP/CLOSED LOW OVER THE
4-CORNERS AREA WITH A STRONG MOISTURE FETCH FROM THE GULF NORTHWARD
INTO THE AREA. AT THE SURFACE...CYCLOGENESIS TAKING PLACE OVER THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS WITH A STRONG WARM FRONT EXTENDING THROUGH EASTERN
KS-AND THEN NORTHEAST THROUGH SOUTHEAST IA-NORTHERN IL-NORTHERN IN.
RADAR MOSAIC HAS ONGOING RAIN/THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MAINLY EASTERN
WI WITH LIGHTER RAIN/DRIZZLE ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA. ANOTHER BATCH
OF THUNDERSTORMS WAS ORGANIZING ACROSS EASTERN NEB AHEAD OF ANOTHER
MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE EJECTING NORTHEAST OUT OF THE MAIN LOW OVER THE
4-CORNERS AREA. OTHERWISE...A FAIRLY RAW DAY IN PLACE ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA WITH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 30S TO LOWER 40S WITH
NORTHEAST WINDS IN THE 10-20 MPH RANGES EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI
RIVER AND IN THE 15 TO 30 MPH RANGE IN THE MORE OPEN AREAS OF
NORTHEAST IA/SOUTHEAST MN.

LOOK FOR THE LOW OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TO MOVE SLOWLY NORTHEAST
INTO MO WEDNESDAY. INCREASING FRONTOGENESIS IN THE 850-500MB LAYER
ALONG WITH INCREASING 850 MB MOISTURE TRANSPORT AHEAD OF THE
LOW/WARM FRONT WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN/THUNDERSTORMS INTO
THE AREA. THERMAL PROFILES SUGGEST AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF A LINE
FROM NEILLSVILLE/BLACK RIVER FALL/MONDOVI/ROCHESTER WILL LIKELY SEE
A WINTRY MIX OF MAINLY SLEET AND SNOW. UP TO AN INCH OF SNOW/SLEET
WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS THIS AREA FROM AFTER MIDNIGHT THROUGH
SUNRISE. SOME FREEZING RAIN IS ALSO POSSIBLE...BUT DUE TO WARM
GROUND...GLAZING EXPECTED TO BE MINOR AND LIMITED TO
ELEVATED/EXPOSED SURFACES SUCH AS RAILINGS/TREE BRANCHES/POWER WIRES.

FOR WEDNESDAY...THE LOW WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTHEAST INTO WEST
CENTRAL IL WITH FETCH OF MOISTURE ROTATING INTO THE AREA.
MEANWHILE...A FETCH OF COLDER AIR IN NORTHEAST FLOW WILL BE
FILTERING IN FROM CANADA. THIS IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE PRODUCING A
MIX OF SLEET/RAIN/SNOW MAINLY ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST MN INTO
NORTH CENTRAL WI. ELEVATED CAPE WILL ALSO CONTINUE THE THREAT FOR
EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS.

COLDER AIR WILL CONTINUE FILTERING INTO THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT
INTO THURSDAY AS THE SURFACE LOW PULLS INTO NORTHERN IL.
ALSO...DYNAMIC COOLING WILL BE TAKING PLACE THROUGH THE COLUMN AS
THE MID/UPPER LEVEL LOW MAKES ITS WAY TOWARD THE AREA FROM THE
CENTRAL PLAINS. THIS WILL WILL PROVIDE FOR A FURTHER TRANSITION TO A
WINTRY MIX ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. THERE IS SOME QUESTION ON HOW
MUCH ICE WILL BE PRESENT IN THE COLUMN FOR SNOW PRODUCTION. RIGHT
NOW IT APPEARS THAT THERE WILL BE A LOSS OF ICE WHICH WOULD FAVOR A
GOOD AMOUNT OF LIQUID/FREEZING TYPE PRECIPITATION. WILL HAVE TO
WATCH THIS CLOSELY WITH THE NEXT MODEL RUN FOR FURTHER DETAIL IN
WHERE SNOW/SLEET VERSUS FREEZING RAIN WILL SET UP.

FOR NOW...WILL LEAVE CURRENT HEADLINES ALONE WITH A FLOOD WATCH
VALID THROUGH THURSDAY...AND A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR PORTIONS
OF SOUTHEAST MN INTO NORTH CENTRAL WI. AS MUCH A 1-3 INCHES OF RAIN
CAN BE EXPECTED FROM TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY...WITH THE HEAVIEST
RAINFALL OCCURRING SOUTH OF I-90. THE POTENTIAL FOR 3 TO AS MUCH AS 6
INCHES OF SNOW/SLEET COULD OCCUR FROM LATER TONIGHT THROUGH
THURSDAY//WITH THE MAJORITY FALLING WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY//
IN THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY AREA. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THE
POTENTIAL FOR ICE ACCUMULATION WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY FOR
POTENTIAL THE POSSIBILITY OF UPGRADING TO A WARNING. MAY ALSO HAVE
TO ASSESS TO SEE IF ANOTHER TIER OF COUNTIES TO THE SOUTH OF THE
CURRENT ADVISORY WILL BE NEEDED AS WELL AND THERE IS SOME INDICATION
THAT THERE MAY BE SOME GLAZING THERE AS WELL ALONG WITH SOME MINOR
ACCUMULATING SNOW.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 359 PM CDT TUE APR 9 2013

FOR THURSDAY NIGHT...WILL SEE THE SURFACE LOW PULL INTO THE GREAT
LAKES REGION WHILE THE UPPER LOW ROTATES THROUGH THE AREA. APPEARS
DYNAMIC COOLING WILL BE ENOUGH TO TRANSITION PRECIPITATION TO ALL
SNOW THURSDAY NIGHT WITH SOME MINOR ACCUMULATIONS POSSIBLE...MAINLY
ALONG AND NORTHEAST OF I-94.

SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER
VALLEY FRIDAY NIGHT AND REMAIN OVER THE REGION THROUGH SATURDAY. AN
UNSEASONABLY COOL AIRMASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER THE UPPER
MIDWEST FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY WITH GEFS 850 MB STANDARDIZED
TEMPERATURE ANOMALIES OF  NEGATIVE 1.5...WITH HIGHS ON FRIDAY ONLY
IN THE 30S. HIGHS WARM SLIGHTLY ON SATURDAY AND ARE EXPECTED TO
RANGE FROM THE UPPER 30S OVER NORTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN TO THE MID 40S
ACROSS NORTHEAST IOWA. ANOTHER SYSTEM LOOKS TO IMPACT THE REGION
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY. A VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS DURING THIS TIME FRAME. SURFACE LOW
PRESSURE WILL DEEPEN OVER WESTERN MINNESOTA/EASTERN DAKOTAS WITH A
WARM FRONT LIFTING NORTH ACROSS THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY.
PLAN ON PRECIPITATION OVERSPREADING THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT. IT
APPEARS TEMPERATURES WILL BE COLD ENOUGH TO SUPPORT SNOW SATURDAY
NIGHT WITH A SWITCH OVER TO RAIN LATE IN THE NIGHT AS THE WARM FRONT
LIFTS NORTH AND WARMER AIR MOVES INTO THE REGION. THIS SYSTEM HAS
THE POTENTIAL TO BRING ANOTHER 1/4 TO 1/2 INCH OF RAINFALL TO THE
AREA WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE IN EMBEDDED CONVECTION.
DESPITE THE RAINFALL...A RETURN TO MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES ARE
IN STORE FOR PORTIONS OF THE AREA ON SUNDAY WITH HIGHS CLIMBING INTO
THE MID TO UPPER 50S ACROSS NORTHEAST IOWA INTO FAR SOUTHWEST
WISCONSIN. TEMPERATURES LOOK TO REMAIN ON THE COOL SIDE NORTH OF THE
I-90 CORRIDOR WITH HIGHS IN THE MID 40S TO LOWER 50S. A WEAK COLD
FRONT SLIDES THROUGH THE REGION LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AS THE LOW
LIFTS NORTHEAST INTO ONTARIO. ZONAL FLOW SETS UP IN THE WAKE OF THE
LOW LATE MONDAY INTO TUESDAY AS ANOTHER TROUGH DEVELOPS OVER THE
SOUTHWEST CONUS. AN ACTIVE PATTERN WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE REGION
TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY AS THE TROUGH OVER THE SOUTHWEST CONUS EDGES
EAST WITH SHORTWAVE IMPULSES EJECTING NORTHEAST INTO THE REGION.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z WEDNESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 625 PM CDT TUE APR 9 2013

VERY MESSY PERIOD AHEAD FOR THE TAF SITES. INITIAL ROUND OF RAIN
HAS MOVED OFF TO THE EAST LEAVING BEHIND IFR/MVFR CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITY WITH SOME LIGHT DRIZZLE AND FOG. THE NEXT ROUND OF RAIN
IS EXPECTED TO BE TIED TO THE SHORT WAVE TROUGH LIFTING NORTHEAST OUT
OF KANSAS LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WAVE IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS PUSHING ANOTHER ROUND
OF RAIN ACROSS. LOOKING AT THE 09.12Z HI-RES ARW AND NMM ALONG
WITH THE 09.19Z HRRR...THERE SEEMS TO BE PRETTY GOOD CONSENSUS
THAT THIS RAIN WILL START TO IMPACT THE TAF SITES AROUND 06Z WITH
BOTH VISIBILITY AND CEILINGS GOING BACK DOWN TO IFR. PREVIOUS
FORECASTS HAD INCLUDED A MENTION OF SOME THUNDER BUT CONFIDENCE ON
THIS OCCURRING IS PRETTY LOW. CURRENT MUCAPE IS BELOW 100 J/KG
NORTH OF THE IOWA/MINNESOTA BORDER AND THE 09.18Z NAM DOES NOT
SHOW THE ELEVATED CAPE GETTING ANY FARTHER NORTH THAN THIS THROUGH
THE NIGHT. OPTED TO LEAVE THE THUNDER MENTION IN THOUGH AS THE
LIFT IS EXPECTED TO BE PRETTY STRONG AHEAD OF THE WAVE AND THIS
COULD BE ENOUGH TO GENERATE A RUMBLE OR TWO. EXPECT THIS ROUND OF
RAIN TO EXIT EAST OF BOTH TAF SITES BY 12Z WITH SOME VERY LIGHT
RAIN OR DRIZZLE LEFT IN ITS WAKE WITH THE VISIBILITY RETURNING TO
MVFR WHILE CEILINGS STAY IFR. MODEL SOUNDINGS FROM THE NAM AND
09.21Z RAP SHOW THE POTENTIAL FOR FZRA/DZ AT KRST LATE TONIGHT
INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. CONCERNED THAT THESE SOUNDINGS MAY BE TOO
COLD AND HAVE GONE WITH THE IDEA THAT TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN AT
OR ABOVE FREEZING WITH THE MAIN PRECIPITATION TYPE STAYING LIQUID.
DID INCLUDE A TEMPO GROUP TO COVER THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME FZDZ IN
THE EVENT TEMPERATURES BRIEFLY DROP BELOW FREEZING. THEN EXPECTING
THE LIGHT DRIZZLE TO BE AROUND FOR MOST OF THE DAY BEFORE THE NEXT
SHORT WAVE TROUGH PUSHES IN THE THIRD ROUND OF RAIN FOR WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON.

.HYDROLOGY...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY
ISSUED AT 359 PM CDT TUE APR 9 2013

THE RIVERS ARE CONTINUING TO RUN AT OR ABOVE BANKFULL IN
WISCONSIN NORTH OF INTERSTATE 90 AND JUST BELOW OR BELOW BANK FULL
IN SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN. WITH ANYWHERE FROM 1 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN
EXPECTED FROM TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY. THERE CONTINUES TO BE
CONCERN THAT THIS PROLONG THE EXISTING FLOODING ALONG THE BLACK
AND TREMPEALEAU RIVERS...AND POSSIBLY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL
FLOODING ALONG OTHER RIVERS IN WESTERN WISCONSIN. DUE TO
THIS...KEPT THE FLOOD WATCH GOING FROM TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
