What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS La Crosse, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Dec 12, 5:20 AM CST, 4 hours 19 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 12, 5:20 AM CST, 4 hours 19 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI 520 AM CST SAT DEC 12 2015 .SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT) ISSUED AT 357 AM CST SAT DEC 12 2015 CHALLENGE WILL BE TIMING AND LOCATION OF LIGHT DRIZZLE...MIST AND FOG THIS MORNING AND THEN TIMING THE ONSET OF MODERATE RAIN TONIGHT. 12.00Z GLOBAL MODEL SUITE IN GOOD OVERALL AGREEMENT AND WILL USE A BLENDED SOLUTION. EARLY THIS MORNING...THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT RAIN/DRIZZLE AND MIST ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASING LOW-LEVEL SATURATION AND WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT ON THE 290 K SURFACE. MOST OF THIS LIFT SHOULD MOVE NORTH AND EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA BY 12Z...SO REMOVED POPS FOR THE REST OF THIS MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON. ALSO WATCHING AREAS OF DENSE FOG DEVELOP TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING. LATEST HRRR/RAP SHOW SOME PATCHY LOWER VISIBILITIES MOVING INTO AREAS SOUTH OF I-90 AND WILL MENTION PATCHY FOG IN THESE AREAS THROUGH 18Z. FOR THE REST OF TODAY...EXPECT OVERCAST SKIES...LIGHT EASTERLY WINDS AND HIGH TEMPERATURES MAINLY IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S. A STRONG WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTH INTO THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT AS ITS PARENT SURFACE LOW DEEPENS ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS. AN EXTREMELY MOIST AIR MASS WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION WITH PWATS APPROACHING 1.25 INCHES. THIS IS 4 TO 6 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE MID-DECEMBER CLIMATOLOGY ACCORDING TO THE 12.00Z NAEFS. WITH COPIOUS MOISTURE AND STRONG LIFT IN THE VICINITY OF THE FRONT/ TROUGH...EXPECT PERIODS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN TO LIFT NORTHWARD THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. THINK THE LEADING LINE OF HEAVIER PRECIP WILL REACH THE I-90 CORRIDOR BY MIDNIGHT. ISOLATED THUNDER STILL POSSIBLE WITH 0 TO 6 KM MUCAPE VALUES FROM 100 TO 300 J/KG. TEMPERATURES TONIGHT WILL ONLY FALL A FEW DEGREES FROM TODAY/S HIGHS WITH LOWS IN THE UPPER 30S TO MID 40S...THEREFORE RESULTING IN ALL RAIN. .LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY) ISSUED AT 357 AM CST SAT DEC 12 2015 MODEL CONSENSUS MOVES THE SURFACE LOW FROM EASTERN OK/KS SUNDAY MORNING INTO SOUTHWEST IA BY 00Z MONDAY...THEN ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA SUNDAY NIGHT AND INTO NORTHERN WI MONDAY MORNING. WITH THIS TRACK...THE UPPER MS RIVER VALLEY WILL BE WITHIN AN AREA OF MODERATE TO STRONG LOW-LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS FROM SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. WITH ALMOST 100 PERCENT CERTAINTY...DAILY RAINFALL RECORDS WILL BE SHATTERED ON SUNDAY. CURRENT RECORDS FOR LA CROSSE/ROCHESTER ARE RESPECTIVELY 0.61 INCHES IN 1920/0.58 INCHES IN 1975 AND THE FORECAST CALLS FOR AROUND 1.5 INCHES JUST ON SUNDAY. RAINFALL TOTALS THROUGH MONDAY WILL LIKELY EXCEED TWO INCHES IN MOST PLACES. THAT SAID...THE PROLONGED NATURE OF THE RAIN COMBINED WITH NON-FROZEN SOILS SHOULD ALLOW A PORTION OF THE RAIN TO SOAK-IN. FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME. SEE HYDROLOGY SECTION BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS CONCERNING AREA RIVERS. SUNDAY WILL ALSO BE VERY WARM DESPITE OVERCAST SKIES/CONTINUOUS RAIN. 925 HPA TEMPERATURES RISE TO BETWEEN +10 AND +12 CELSIUS... RESULTING IN AFTERNOON HIGHS FROM THE UPPER 40S ACROSS THE NORTHWEST FORECAST AREA TO NEAR 60 DEGREES FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST IA AND SOUTHWEST WI. ROCHESTER WILL LIKELY COME UP JUST SHY OF BREAKING THE HIGH TEMPERATURE RECORD...BUT LA CROSSE WILL BE VERY CLOSE WITH THE CURRENT RECORD OF 56 DEGREES SET IN 1891. PRECIP WILL SLOWLY EXIT THE REGION ON MONDAY. HOWEVER...COLDER AIR IS NOW SLOWER TO MOVE IN...SO PRECIP TYPE LIKELY TO REMAIN MOSTLY RAIN THROUGH THE DAY. THERE COULD BE A LIGHT WINTRY MIX ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST MN/NORTHEAST IA MONDAY AFTERNOON... BUT MOST PRECIP SHOULD MOVE OUT AHEAD OF THE COLDEST AIR MASS. HIGHS MONDAY WILL BE IN THE 40S WITH AN INCREASING WESTERLY WIND AS THE SURFACE LOW CENTER MOVES INTO THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES. TUESDAY THROUGH THE REST OF THE WORK WEEK...THE PRIMARY STORY WILL BE FALLING TEMPERATURES TO SOMETHING THAT MORE CLOSELY RESEMBLES MID-DECEMBER NORMALS. HIGHS FROM THE UPPER 30S TO MID 40S ON TUESDAY WILL DROP INTO THE MID 20S TO LOWER 30S FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. PRECIP-WISE...WILL NEED TO CLOSELY WATCH A SECONDARY CLOSED 500 HPA LOW LIFT OUT OF THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES AND INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY. 12.00Z GFS/ECMWF ARE A BIT FURTHER SOUTH WITH THIS SYSTEM COMPARED TO 24 HOURS AGO...BUT STILL KEEP MAJORITY OF PRECIP NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA. SUPER BLEND CHANCE POPS SEEM REASONABLE AT THIS TIME. PRECIP TYPE MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH THIS SYSTEM GIVEN COLDER TEMPERATURES ALOFT AND AT THE SURFACE...BUT THIS WILL ALSO DEPEND ON THE SURFACE LOW TRACK. FOR NOW...WILL KEEP THINGS SIMPLE WITH A RAIN/SNOW MIX. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SUNDAY MORNING) ISSUED AT 520 AM CST SAT DEC 12 2015 THE AREA/TAF SITES ARE IN FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF IFR CIGS AND MVFR/IFR VSBYS IN LOW CLOUDS/FOG/RAIN. THIS AHEAD OF A STRONG AND SLOW MOVING LOW THAT WILL ONLY MOVE INTO EASTERN KS BY 12Z SUN... NOT REACHING NORTHERN WISCONSIN UNTIL 12Z MONDAY. THIS LOW WILL CONTINUE TO PULL ABUNDANT GULF OF MEX MOISTURE NORTHWARD FOR THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS. THE LOWER CIGS AND BR/FG HAVE ALREADY ARRIVED. THE STEADIER AND MORE WIDESPREAD RAIN WILL ARRIVE THIS EVENING THEN CONTINUE THRU SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT. WITH SFC DEW POINTS EXPECTED TO RISE INTO THE 40S...OVER THE COLD GROUND THIS TIME OF YEAR...WIDESPREAD BR/FG IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST. THE RAIN LATER THIS EVENING THRU SUN NIGHT LOOKS TO KEEP THE VSBYS IN THE BR/FG MORE IN THE 1-3SM RANGE...VS. 1SM OR LESS IF THE RAIN WAS NOT PULLING SOME OF THE MOISTURE OUT OF THE AIRMASS. && .HYDROLOGY... ISSUED AT 250 AM CST SAT DEC 12 2015 TOTAL RAINFALL SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY WILL RANGE FROM 1.5 TO 2.4 INCHES.
