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 Sep 22, 4:20 AM CDT, 1 hour 19 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 22, 4:20 AM CDT, 1 hour 19 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
420 AM CDT Thu Sep 22 2016

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 415 AM CDT Thu Sep 22 2016

Radar estimates anywhere from 2 to 9 inches of rain fell across
the area on Wednesday. The highest totals were located across
Clark, Floyd, Chickasaw, and Vernon counties. This has resulted
in flash flooding in these areas.

As a short wave trough, currently located over western Iowa, moves
away from the area later this morning, the moisture transport will
gradually weaken. As this occurs, the showers and thunderstorms
will wane. Up to an additional 2 inches of rain will be possible
south of Interstate 90.

For this afternoon, the winds fields aloft will weakening across
the region. As partly sunny skies develop, anticipate that the
0-1 km mean layer CAPES will climb up to 1000 J/kg. As outflow
boundaries interact with the front across northern Iowa and
southern Wisconsin, expect isolated to scattered showers and
storms to develop. A few of these storms may produce hail up to
quarters and wind damage. These storms will then weaken as we lose
the diurnal heating during the afternoon.

For tonight, the CAM models continue to show quite a bit of
convection across the forecast area. With weak forcing across the
area, I am a bit concerned that the models may be overdoing the
rain chances and amounts for tonight.

.LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday)
Issued at 415 AM CDT Thu Sep 22 2016

From Friday into Friday night, a warm front will move north
through the forecast area. With much of the moisture transport
being located across the Dakotas, western Iowa, and western
Minnesota, additional rainfall amounts will likely be less than a
quarter of an inch.

From Saturday afternoon through Sunday night, a cold front will
move slowly east through the forecast area. The GFS continues to
being slightly faster than the ECMWF with moving the front out of
the area. With warm cloud layer depths of 3.5 to 4 km,
precipitable water values around 1.8 inches, and strong moisture
transport, it looks like we will see the potential of more heavy
rain across the region. If this trend continues, a Flash Flood
Watch will likely be needed.

In the wake of this front, the GFS has a closed upper level low
moving across the region. This would keep the chance of showers
and storms in the forecast through Wednesday. Meanwhile the ECMWF
keeps this low further north and the area remains dry.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday night)
Issued at 1201 AM CDT Wed Sep 21 2016

Line of convection across southeast Minnesota ahead of the front
is working its way south. The strongest storms look like they will
be south of both airports by 22.06Z. However, additional activity
still ongoing north of this that will sink south across the area
with MVFR to IFR conditions. Most of this should then be south of
the area by the middle of the night with just some light rains
expected into the Thursday morning. The hi-res meso scale models
then do not show a whole lot more activity for the remainder of
Thursday and will only show a VCSH with VFR conditions. The front
should then slip through the area Thursday evening with the winds
going light or swinging around to the northeast with ceilings
likely coming down to MVFR.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 415 AM CDT Thu Sep 22 2016

With the moisture transport weakening and remaining that way
through tonight, additional rainfall totals will be likely up to 2
inches across northeast Iowa and southwest Wisconsin. This will
aggravate the ongoing flooding.

Most of our river systems will see significant rises over the next
couple of days. We are already seeing moderate to major flooding
along the Black River. There may be even a record crest at Black
River Falls. The Cedar River is also forecast to see moderate to
major flood by this weekend. All of the other river systems in the
area will likely have at least moderate flooding.
