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 Aug 19, 7:11 AM CDT, 1 hour 57 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 19, 7:11 AM CDT, 1 hour 57 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service La Crosse WI 711 AM CDT FRI AUG 19 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 349 AM CDT Fri Aug 19 2016 Main forecast concerns are on strong to perhaps isolated severe thunderstorms today with the potential for heavy rainfall and strong winds. Thunderstorms were ongoing early this morning mainly across portions of southeast Minnesota into west central and central Wisconsin. These storms have been producing periods of heavy rainfall along with gusty winds of 30 to 40 mph. The heaviest rain has been falling across northern Buffalo, Trempealeau, and western Jackson counties. After the storms taper off later this morning, we should see another round of showers and storms this afternoon along a frontal boundary sliding in from the northwest. Afternoon MUCAPE values climb into the 1500 to 3000 J/KG range this afternoon. Much of the shear in lagging behind the front behind the highest MUCAPE values. The bigger concern, assign from isolated damaging winds with the storms this afternoon, will be the potential for heavy rainfall with any storms today. Precipitable water values will climb to around 2 inches today. Meanwhile a vigorous trough pushes in from the northwest and a surface low is expected to deepen across the upper Mississippi River Valley and as it does periods of shower and storms will continue. Forecast models are edgeing into two camps, the NAM and GEM are rather strong with a heavy rainfall across much of the local area with the low tracking across western Wisconsin. The ECMWF and the GFS take the low further to the northeast and don't deepen it until is over eastern Lake Superior, which means less rain for the local area. At this time rain is looking likely from late this afternoon all the way through Saturday. Monitor forecasts closely as we could see an additional 1 to locally 3 inches of rain during this timeframe. Rises on rivers are likely with the potential for some flooding. Cooler air will also arrive with the low pressure system, making it feel more like autumn a times. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday) Issued at 349 AM CDT Fri Aug 19 2016 Rain looks to continue into Saturday tapering to scattered showers as we go into Sunday as the upper trough swings through. Temperatures then look to warm slightly by the middle of next week but then chances for more showers and storms return. Weak troughing then looks to setup across the upper Midwest late in the week into next weekend with some low chances for showers and storms and rather conformable temperatures. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Saturday morning) Issued at 711 AM CDT Fri Aug 19 2016 The showers and storms will move east of the area by 19.16z and then another round of showers and storms will move into the area between 19.21z and 19.24z. This precipitation will then continue through tonight. The heavier showers and storms will reduce visibilities and ceilings into the IFR/MVFR range. However the timing is far from certain...so did not include this at this time. && .HYDROLOGY...Through this weekend. Issued at 349 AM CDT Fri Aug 19 2016 The potential for flooding will continue into the weekend as we see repeated rounds of showers and thunderstorms. Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to locally 3 inches are possible. In addition to the flash flood threat today, flooding along the main rivers may become a concerns by later in the weekend into early next week. Monitor the weather closely, especially if you have interests along area rivers and streams. && .ARX Watches/Warnings/Advisories... WI...None. MN...None.
