AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
620 AM CDT MON MAR 31 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 527 AM CDT MON MAR 31 2014

SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE EXPANDED NICELY ACROSS
WESTERN IOWA ON RADAR. DESPITE THE NUMEROUS LOOKING COVERAGE...1
HOUR METAR OBSERVATIONS ARE STILL ONLY SHOWING MAINLY TRACE
AMOUNTS. RAP TRENDS ARE LOOKING MORE PROMISING FOR PRECIPITATION
WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER...THOUGH...SO FELT IT IS WARRANTED
TO RAISE CHANCES SOME. RAP STILL DIMINISHES THE PRECIPITATION
BEFORE IT MOVES INTO SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL WISCONSIN...WHICH MAKES
SENSE AS IT RUNS INTO DRY AIR AND LOW LEVEL JET FORCING MIXES OUT.

ALREADY INTRODUCED THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME THUNDER PRIOR TO 15Z
WEST OF HIGHWAY 52. LOOKS LIKE THE ELEVATED INSTABILITY AND
FORCING WANES THEREAFTER.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 342 AM CDT MON MAR 31 2014

A VARIETY OF IMPACTS EXIST IN THE SHORT TERM FROM AN APPROACHING
NEGATIVELY TILTED SHORTWAVE. HAVE TRIED TO EXPLAIN THEM THE BEST IN
AN ORGANIZED FASHION BELOW.

CURRENTLY AS OF 08Z...WATER VAPOR LOOP AND RAP 500MB HEIGHT ANALYSIS
SHOWED A DEEP TROUGH JUST OFF THE U.S. WEST COAST...A NEGATIVELY
TILTED VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE OVER NORTHEAST COLORADO...AND RIDGING FROM
LOUISIANA INTO MICHIGAN. PLENTIFUL UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE ON WATER
VAPOR WAS STREAMING FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE FORECAST AREA
AHEAD OF THE VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE...MANIFESTING ITSELF AS SCT-BKN
CIRRUS. BELOW THESE CLOUDS...A DRY AIRMASS EXISTS AS SEEN ON A 00Z
700MB AND 850MB RAOB PLOT...WITH DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS OF 10-20C FROM
THE FORECAST AREA SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE CENTRAL PLAINS. SURFACE
DEWPOINTS ARE INCREASING IN THE SAME AREA...HOWEVER...NOW ABOUT 5-15
DEGREES HIGHER. THIS INCREASE WAS DUE TO A SOUTHWESTERLY 925MB WIND
OF 40-55 KT FROM THE FORECAST AREA DOWN INTO TEXAS...HELPING TO
BRING GULF OF MEXICO MOISTURE NORTHWARD. THE WINDS ARE ALSO HOLDING
TEMPERATURES UP WITH READINGS MAINLY IN THE 40S. 925MB TEMPS WERE
ANALYZED PER RAP AT 08Z OF 9-13C...NEARLY IDENTICAL TO 00Z RAOBS. TO
THE WEST...A 988MB LOW WAS LOCATED JUST EAST OF ALLIANCE NEBRASKA. A
NARROW BAND OF SHOWERS WERE TRYING TO DEVELOP OVER CENTRAL NEBRASKA
EAST OF THIS LOW...ASSOCIATED WITH 310K ISENTROPIC LIFT. THIS PUTS
THE SHOWERS ROOTED AROUND 600MB. HOWEVER...THE AFOREMENTIONED LOWER
LEVEL DRY AIR HAS KEPT RAIN FROM REACHING THE GROUND.

SYNOPTIC OVERVIEW...500MB HEIGHT PROGS FROM MODELS ARE NEARLY
IDENTICAL NOW...BOTH IN TIMING AND STRENGTH...FOR THE TRACK OF THE
VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE CURRENTLY IN NORTHEAST COLORADO. OVERALL TREND
OVER THE PAST WEEK FROM MODELS WAS A SLOWER...DEEPER AND MORE
NORTHWEST TRACK. CURRENT CONSENSUS TRACKS THE SHORTWAVE ACROSS
WATERTOWN SD LATE THIS AFTERNOON...AND INTO THE DULUTH MN AREA BY
12Z TUE. THE ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW CURRENTLY IN WESTERN NEBRASKA
TAKES NEARLY THE SAME ROUTE...WITH THE PRESSURE WEAKENING TONIGHT AS
THE LOW BEGINS TO OCCLUDE.

PRECIPITATION...THE TRACK OF THE SURFACE/500MB FEATURES ARE
GENERALLY NOT FAVORABLE FOR PRECIPITATION FOR THE FORECAST
AREA...ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE DRY AIR IN PLACE. IF THERE WAS MORE
GULF OF MEXICO MOISTURE TO WORK WITH...SAY DEWPOINTS IN THE
50S...THIS MIGHT BE A DIFFERENT STORY. HOWEVER...MODELS STILL
CONTINUE TO INDICATE 3 WAVES OF POTENTIAL PRECIPITATION...

1. THE FIRST IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE 310K ISENTROPIC LIFT IN CENTRAL
NEBRASKA. THIS LIFT LOOKS TO TRACK NORTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA TODAY.
THE PLENTIFUL LOW TO MID LEVEL DRY AIR IN PLACE MAY MAKE IT TOUGH
FOR PRECIPITATION TO OCCUR. IN FACT...OVERALL MODEL TRENDS CONTINUE
TO SUGGEST LESS AND LESS PRECIPITATION WITH THIS FIRST WAVE...WITH
THE REGIONAL CANADIAN AND TO SOME DEGREE THE RAP EVEN SUGGESTING
DRY. HAVE LOWERED CHANCES TO 20-30 WITH THIS WAVE.

2. THE SECOND WAVE OF POSSIBLE PRECIPITATION COMES DURING THE
EVENING HOURS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW\S COLD FRONT. THERE\S A GOOD
MODEL CONSENSUS FOR A NARROW LINE OF SCT-BKN SHOWERS TO DEVELOP NEAR
I-35 NEAR 00Z...CORRELATING WELL WITH AN AXIS OF WEAK TO MODERATE 0-
2KM MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AND THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF AN UPPER JET.
31.00Z NAM SOUNDINGS SHOW A BRIEF 1 HOUR PERIOD OF THE SHOWERS...
WHERE ALSO CAPE ROOTED ABOVE 850MB CLIMBS TO 200-300 J/KG. THIS CAPE
AND FORCING SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO GENERATE SOME ISOLATED THUNDER.
GIVEN LIKELY INVERTED-V SOUNDING AND 850MB WINDS OF 45-50 KT...THE
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE STRONG TO POSSIBLY EVEN
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. AGAIN...THIS WILL BE ISOLATED.

3. THE FINAL WAVE OF PRECIPITATION IS THE COLD CONVEYOR BELT OF SNOW
WRAPPING AROUND THE SYSTEM...POSSIBLY IMPACTING THE FORECAST AREA
AFTER MIDNIGHT. MODELS CONTINUE TO TREND MORE AND MORE NORTHWEST
WITH THE REACH OF THE COLD CONVEYOR. AS IT STANDS NOW...LOCATIONS
MAINLY NORTHWEST OF A LINE FROM AUSTIN MN TO WAUSAU WI LOOK TO SEE
THE SNOW. IN ADDITION...THE SNOW MAY NOT ARRIVE UNTIL AFTER 09Z.
AS SUCH...ANY ACCUMULATIONS PRIOR TO 12Z WILL BE VERY LIGHT.

TEMPERATURES...925MB READINGS ARE PROGGED TO MOSTLY HOLD IN THE 9-
13C RANGE THROUGHOUT THE DAY...WARMEST TOWARDS THE LATE AFTERNOON AT
TIME OF PEAK MIXING. THE WARMER START TO THE DAY PLUS LIMITED IMPACT
FROM PRECIPITATION WOULD SUPPORT A WARMER SCENARIO. IN ADDITION...IT
APPEARS WE SHOULD HAVE SOME SUN BOTH EARLY IN THE DAY AND AGAIN
LATER IN THE AFTERNOON. WITH A BREEZY SOUTH WIND AIDING IN ADVECTING
WARMER AIR IN FROM THE SOUTH TOO...SEEMS LIKE A SITUATION TO LEAN
TOWARDS THE WARMER SIDE OF GUIDANCE. DO THINK...THOUGH...THE MET
SHOWING 70-71 FOR BLACK RIVER FALLS...WINONA AND BOSCOBEL IS A BIT
TOO AMBITIOUS. READINGS WILL REALLY TAKE A TUMBLE TONIGHT AS COLD
AIR WRAPS AROUND THE SURFACE LOW. BY 12Z TUE...925MB TEMPS ARE
PROGGED BETWEEN -5 AND -7C. A 30 DEGREE TEMPERATURE DROP IS POSSIBLE
BETWEEN 00Z AND 12Z.

WINDS...925MB WINDS OF 30-40 KT HOLD NEARLY STEADY THROUGH MUCH OF
THE DAY...BUT IT DOES APPEAR THESE SHOULD PICK UP TOWARDS 45 KT AS
THE LOW AND FRONT NEAR. THE STRONGEST WINDS STILL LOOK TO OCCUR
ALONG/SOUTH OF I-90. THE DAYTIME MIXING PLUS ISALLOBARIC HELP SHOULD
PUSH WIND GUSTS TOWARDS THE 35-45 MPH RANGE. CANNOT RULE OUT SOME
HIGHER GUSTS. THEN WE HAVE THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE TONIGHT WITH
925MB WINDS ALSO 30-40 KT AIDED TOO BY A PRESSURE RISE. MUCH OF THIS
SHOULD EASILY MIX DOWN...RESULTING IN GUSTS OF 30-40 MPH WITH MAYBE
SOME HIGHER ONES TOWARDS 45 MPH. AFTER COLLABORATION WITH
MPX...DMX...DVN AND MKX...SETTLED ON A WIND ADVISORY FOR MOSTLY THE
COUNTIES ALONG/WEST OF US-52. THIS ADVISORY MAY NEED EXPANSION TO
THE EAST INTO FAR SOUTHWEST WI DURING THE DAY SHIFT. FOR NOW PUT
THESE COUNTIES IN AN SPS.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 342 AM CDT MON MAR 31 2014

ACTIVE WEATHER CONTINUES AND WE REALLY NEED TO WATCH THURSDAY
NIGHT AND FRIDAY CLOSELY.

MODELS HAVE TRENDED A LITTLE FASTER IN EXITING THE VIGOROUS
SHORTWAVE TROUGH AND SURFACE LOW TO THE NORTHEAST. AS SUCH...HAVE
SPED UP THE EXITING OF THE COLD CONVEYOR BELT SNOW AND BRINGING IN
CLEARING QUICKER. WITH A FASTER EXIT...IT APPEARS THOSE LOCATIONS
THAT DO SEE SNOW WILL SEE VERY LITTLE. VERY WINDY CONDITIONS TO
START OFF THE DAY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHEAST MN WHERE A SECONDARY
COLD FRONT PASSES...SHOULD SLOWLY DIMINISH THROUGH THE DAY. BETTER
SHOT TO LIGHTEN UP THE WINDS COMES TUESDAY NIGHT AS A RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR LOCATIONS NORTH OF I-90.

THE NEXT CONCERN ON THE HORIZON INVOLVES THE DEEP UPPER TROUGH OFF
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST COAST. SUBJECTIVELY...THAT TROUGH LOOKS A LOT
MEANER THAN THE ONE COMING INTO THE PLAINS RIGHT NOW. MODELS ARE IN
VERY GOOD AGREEMENT DIGGING THIS FEATURE INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN U.S.
ON WEDNESDAY...CAUSING RIDGING AND A WARM ADVECTION PATTERN TO
DEVELOP DOWNSTREAM FROM THE GULF COAST INTO THE LOWER GREAT LAKES.
THE BIG PROBLEM HERE IS THAT THE WARM ADVECTION PATTERN MOSTLY
OCCURS ALOFT...AS THE LOW LEVELS ARE DOMINATED BY AN EASTERLY FLOW
COMING OUT OF COLD...CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHERN GREAT
LAKES AND ONTARIO. THIS SETS THE STAGE FOR POSSIBLE MIXED
PRECIPITATION.

31.00Z GFS/NAM/ECMWF ARE ALL INDICATING A LEAD WAVE OF WARM
ADVECTION PRECIPITATION IMPACTING MAINLY LOCATIONS SOUTH OF I-90
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING. THERE ARE CONCERNS WITH A
WARM LAYER ALOFT AND LOSS OF ICE IN THE CLOUDS TO IMPACT
PRECIPITATION TYPE. IN ADDITION...EVAPORATIVE COOLING FROM THE
EASTERLY FLOW OF DRY AIR COMBINING WITH THE PRECIPITATION MAY SEND
TEMPERATURES AT OR BELOW FREEZING. AS A RESULT...FORECAST INCLUDES A
VARIETY OF PRECIPITATION TYPES. ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO THE TROUGH
WHICH THE GFS/GFS ENSEMBLE/UKMET AND CANADIAN ARE ALL TRENDING
TOWARDS THE DEEP ECMWF SOLUTION. THIS TROUGH LIFTS UP INTO THE
FORECAST AREA ON FRIDAY...BRINGING WITH IT A MUCH DEEPER PLUME OF
GULF MOISTURE ALONG WITH A FAIRLY DEEP SURFACE LOW. THERE ARE
INDICATIONS WE COULD SEE ACCUMULATING WET SNOW...PARTICULARLY
OVER OUR NORTHWEST...TO MIXED PRECIPITATION AND EVEN HEAVY
RAINFALL. THERE MAY EVEN BE SOME THUNDERSTORMS OVER FAR SOUTHWEST
WI THURSDAY NIGHT...BUT THE PROBABILITY IS TOO LOW TO INCLUDE AT
THIS TIME. NEEDLESS TO SAY...RAISED PRECIPITATION CHANCES INTO THE
60-70 RANGE FOR MOST LOCATIONS THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY.

LOOKS LIKE THE SYSTEM WILL GRADUALLY EXIT THE AREA FRIDAY NIGHT WITH
DRIER AND WARMER WEATHER TO FOLLOW FOR THE WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS IN.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 620 AM CDT MON MAR 31 2014

STRONG LOW PRESSURE WILL LIFT NORTHEAST OUT OF NEBRASKA AND INTO
THE REGION TODAY. A BAND OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE TAF SITES THIS MORNING. CURRENT THINKING IS
THAT KRST STANDS THE HIGHEST CHANCES OF SEEING A LIGHTNING STRIKE
OR TWO OUT OF THE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS NORTHEAST
IOWA PUSHING NORTH INTO SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA. THIS ACTIVITY WILL
WEAKEN QUICKLY AS IT MOVES EAST AND RUNS INTO DRIER AIR. KLSE MAY
SEE AN ISOLATED SHOWER LATER THIS MORNING. STRONG SOUTH WINDS WILL
OCCUR AT THE TAF SITES TODAY WITH SPEEDS OF 18 TO 20 KTS AND GUSTS
RANGING FROM 27 TO 35 KTS. A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL PUSH ACROSS
THE TAF SITES THIS EVENING WITH WINDS SWITCHING TO THE WEST.
ISOLATED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ALONG THE FRONT
THIS EVENING. IF THESE STORMS DEVELOP THEY COULD PRODUCE WIND
GUSTS OF 45 TO 50 KTS. STRONG WEST/NORTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. ALSO...A STRATUS DECK MAY BRING MVFR
CONDITIONS TO THE TAF SITES DURING THE OVERNIGHT.

.FIRE WEATHER...
ISSUED AT 342 AM CDT MON MAR 31 2014

BREEZY SOUTHERLY WINDS COMBINED WITH TEMPERATURES CLIMBING INTO
THE MID 60S THIS AFTERNOON POSES SOME CONCERN FOR FIRE WEATHER.
DEWPOINTS ALSO SHOULD MIX A BIT THIS AFTERNOON...PARTICULARLY OVER
CENTRAL AND FAR SOUTHWEST WI WHICH SAW THAT HAPPEN YESTERDAY.
FUELS ALSO WERE ABLE TO DRY OUT SOME FROM YESTERDAY.
HOWEVER...RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES ONLY DROP TO A MINIMUM OF 35
PERCENT...PRECLUDING THE NEED FOR ANY FIRE WEATHER HAZARDS.

ANOTHER ITEM TO WATCH IS ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS COMING ACROSS THE
AREA THIS EVENING. GIVEN THAT DRY AIR EXISTS BELOW THE CLOUD
BASES...THESE THUNDERSTORMS MAY NOT PRODUCE MUCH RAINFALL.
THUS...CANNOT RULE OUT SOME DRY LIGHTNING STRIKES. THE STORMS
SHOULD ALSO PRODUCE SOME STRONG WINDS...SO IF A FIRE WOULD GET
STARTED...THE WIND COULD HELP IT SPREAD A LITTLE.

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 342 AM CDT MON MAR 31 2014

FLOOD WATCH REMAINS ON TRACK FOR TREMPEALEAU...JACKSON AND CLARK
COUNTIES. BOTH THE BLACK AND TREMPEALEAU RIVERS ARE RESPONDING TO
THE SNOWMELT THAT HAS OCCURRED YESTERDAY THROUGH NOW. CONTINUED
RAPID SNOWMELT OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS FROM TEMPERATURES PEAKING UP
IN THE MID 50S TO LOW 60S WILL ALLOW THE RIVERS TO CONTINUE RISING.
IT APPEARS LIKELY THAT FLOOD WARNINGS WILL BE ISSUED SOMETIME
TODAY...PARTICULARLY ON THE BLACK SINCE THE TREMPEALEAU RIVER BASIN
MAY BE EXHAUSTED OF SNOWMELT. SHOULD BE A CLOSE CALL ON THE
TREMPEALEAU AT DODGE...THOUGH.

LOOKING AHEAD TO LATER IN THE WEEK...CONCERN IS GROWING OF A
POSSIBLE HEAVY RAINFALL EVENT OVER THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE AREA
THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH THIS TIME PERIOD
CLOSELY. LUCKILY THERE ISN\T GOING TO BE ANY SNOWMELT OVER THAT
AREA.
