Dam. Water levels on the Mississippi will likely remain high
right on into next weekend.

River forecasts take into account both observed and forecast 
precipitation.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
626 AM CDT FRI MAR 18 2016

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 248 AM CDT FRI MAR 18 2016

A BIT OF A FUNKY PATTERN ACROSS THE REGION AT THE MOMENT...WITH A
RATHER CLASSIC REX BLOCK SETUP IN PLACE FROM MANITOBA THROUGH THE
UPPER MIDWEST. ELONGATED UPPER TROUGHING RESIDES FROM SOUTHEAST
ONTARIO BACK THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS...WITH A SURFACE TROUGH
AXIS ALSO NOTED JUST TO THE SOUTH. WEAK BUT PERSISTENT LOWER LEVEL
FGEN FORCING IN COMBINATION WITH CONVERGENCE CONTINUES TO DRIVE
PERIODIC BANDS OF SNOW SHOWERS IN THE VICINITY OF THAT TROUGH
AXIS...WITH ONE SUCH BATCH CROSSING THE CWA AT THE MOMENT...MAINLY
EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI.

HEADING THROUGH THE DAY...THE WHOLE LOW/MID LEVEL TROUGH AXIS WILL
GRADUALLY PIVOT SOUTHWARD WITH EARLY DAY LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS LIKELY
BLOSSOMING BACK INTO MORE OF A DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWERY REGIME INTO
THE AFTERNOON WITHIN A ZONE OF STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES. PRECIP
TYPE LATER TODAY WILL LARGELY BE DETERMINED BY BOUNDARY LAYER
TEMPS...BUT WITH AN INVERTED-V LOOK TO FORECAST RAOBS...WILL LIKELY
SEE MORE OF A SNOW SHOWER SETUP WITH PLENTY OF ROOM FOR BRIEF
COOLING BENEATH ANY HEAVIER SHOWERS.

GLANCING INTO TONIGHT...STILL ANTICIPATING UPPER ENERGY OVERHEAD TO
SLOWLY CLOSE OFF NEARBY WITH A NOTABLE UPTICK IN MID LEVEL
DEFORMATION FORCING PRETTY MUCH BISECTING THE CWA...IN CONCERT WITH
A RENEWED PUSH OF LOWER LEVEL WARM ADVECTION ASCENT. COUPLE THAT
WITH SOME MODEST MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES...AND THE SETUP TO ME LOOKS
PRETTY FAVORABLE FOR ADDITIONAL SNOW SHOWERS PIVOTING ACROSS THE
AREA. HONESTLY WOULDN'T BE SHOCKED TO SEE A "SURPRISE" ACCUMULATION
OF AN INCH OR TWO IN SPOTS GIVEN A BANDED LOOK TO PRECIP POTENTIAL.
THAT WOULD BE MOST LIKELY FOR AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF THE MISS
RIVER...BUT HEY...IT'S ONLY MID MARCH SO NOTHING TOO OUT OF THE
ORDINARY HERE. STILL...SOMETHING TO WATCH CLOSELY THROUGH THE DAY
TODAY.

SHOULD SEE SOME CLOUDS STUCK AROUND INTO SATURDAY BUT WITH WANING
FORCING FOR ANY PRECIP AS THE UPPER LOW DRIFTS SOUTH TOWARD NORTHERN
MISSOURI. IN ITS WAKE...BUILDING LOW/MID LEVEL RIDGING LOOKS TO TAKE
OVER SATURDAY NIGHT ON THROUGH MONDAY...WITH GRADUALLY MODERATING
TEMPS EXPECTED. WE MAY END UP HAVING A BIT OF A CLOUD PROBLEM INTO
SUNDAY WITH COOLER AIR STUCK OVERHEAD...SUPPORTING GOOD STRATO-CU
POTENTIAL BENEATH AN INVERSION JUST ABOVE 850MB. THAT ALL LOOKS TO
BE HISTORY BY MONDAY WITH PRONOUNCED RIDGING STRETCHING DIRECTLY
OVERHEAD...WITH SOME MODERATION IN TEMPS LIKELY GIVEN TIME OF
YEAR/SUN ANGLE DESPITE STUBBORN SHALLOW COOLER AIR HANGING AROUND.
SUSPECT OUR CURRENT FORECAST IS LIKELY A BIT ON THE COOL SIDE FOR
MONDAY AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 248 AM CDT FRI MAR 18 2016

A POTENTIALLY ACTIVE STRETCH OF WEATHER HEADING TOWARD MIDWEEK BUT
WITH PLENTY MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS AT THIS JUNCTURE. OUR NEXT
ROUND OF UPPER TROUGHING EMANATING FROM THE WESTERN CONUS LOOKS TO
DRIVE LEE CYCLONE DEVELOPMENT ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS MONDAY NIGHT
INTO TUESDAY...WITH A SURFACE AND ELEVATED WARM FRONT PROGGED TO
LIFT THROUGH THE CWA DURING THIS TIME. PLENTY OF DRY AIR TO OVERCOME
SO DESPITE A PRETTY GOOD SHOT OF WARM ADVECTION FORCING...NOT SO
SURE HOW MUCH PRECIP POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR A LARGE PORTION OF THE
AREA (BEST SHOT NORTH OF I-94). INSTEAD...WE MAY BE TREATED WITH A
SNEAKY WARM DAY ON TUESDAY WITH MUCH OF THE AREA BREAKING INTO A
STRONG WARM SECTOR. GUIDANCE HAS BEEN PLAYING CATCH-UP WITH THIS
NOTION FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS...AND TO BE FAIR...THERE REMAIN SOME
DISCREPANCIES REGARDING THE PLACEMENT OF THE SURFACE WARM FRONT.
BASED ON CURRENT TRENDS...THAT FEATURE WOULD RESIDE NORTH OF I-
90...ALLOWING FOR BREEZY AND WARM CONDITIONS TO ITS SOUTH. GIVEN
925MB TEMPS IN THE 10-15C RANGE...CAN'T SEE A REASON WHY HIGHS
WOULDN'T SURGE THROUGH THE 60S IN SPOTS...BUT WILL PLAY THINGS A
LITTLE MORE CONSERVATIVE UNTIL WE CAN BETTER DETERMINE THE WARM
FRONTAL POSITION.

OTHERWISE...ALL EYES WILL BE ON THAT LEE CYCLONE AS IT LIFTS TOWARD
THE AREA SOMETIME TOWARD WEDNESDAY. QUITE THE TEMP GRADIENT SHOULD
BE LOCATED SOMEWHERE NEARBY DURING THIS TIME FRAME...SUGGESTING A
PRECIP THREAT FOR SURE...THOUGH JUST WHERE THAT ULTIMATELY ENDS UP
REMAINS A BIG CHALLENGE. PER CURRENT TRENDS...MAY END UP SEEING MORE
OF A RAIN CHANGING TO SNOW SCENARIO ACROSS THE AREA BUT PLENTY OF
TIME TO WATCH THIS ONE UNFOLD OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. IN THE
MEANTIME...LET'S ROOT FOR THAT WARMTH ON TUESDAY!

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 626 AM CDT FRI MAR 18 2016

A WEAK COLD FRONT/SFC TROUGH WILL CONTINUE TO SINK SOUTH ACROSS THE
TAF SITES TODAY. MVFR CIGS LOOKING TO SPREAD INTO KRST FOR THE
DAY...WHILE DIURNAL WARMING/MIXING LOOKS TO RAISE THE KLSE CIGS TO
VFR FOR THE AFTERNOON. STEEP SFC-700MB LAPSE RATES AND THE DIURNAL
WARMING/MIXING EXPECTED TO RESULT IN SCT -SHRA/-SHSN THIS AFTERNOON
AND ADDED VCSH TO BOTH KRST/KLSE. A STRONGER SHORTWAVE ALOFT WILL
ROTATE ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT. THIS...PLUS THE STEEPER SFC-700MB
LAPSE RATES AND A WEAK SFC LOW IN/NEAR THE AREA...APPEARS -SHSN MAY
BE RATHER WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE AREA THIS EVENING. CONTINUED THE
VCSH MENTION THRU TONIGHT...WITH LOWERING CIGS...AND ADDED A TEMPO
5SM -SHSN MENTION TO BOTH SITES FOR MUCH OF THE EVENING WHEN THE
STRONGER OF THE LIFT/DEEPER OF THE MOISTURE WOULD BE OVER THE AREA.

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 248 AM CDT FRI MAR 18 2016

RISES CONTINUE ALONG THE YELLOW AND WISCONSIN RIVERS AND ACROSS
THE LOWER PORTIONS OF THE BLACK RIVER FROM TUESDAY'S HEAVY
RAINFALL...WITH CASTLE ROCK CURRENTLY OUTPUTTING A FAIRLY
IMPRESSIVE 40,000 CFS. STILL WAITING TO SEE HOW MUCH WATER THE
LONGER STRETCH OF THE WISCONSIN CAN "ABSORB" DOWNSTREAM OF CASTLE
ROCK HEADING TOWARD MUSCODA...ALL WHILE WATCHING TO SEE THE
EVENTUAL RESPONSE OF THE YELLOW RIVER AT NECEDAH WHERE SO FAR THE
CURVE IS FALLING A LITTLE FLAT TO ACHIEVE THE CURRENTLY FORECAST
MAJOR FLOOD STAGE. LOOKING A LITTLE LATER INTO THE PERIOD...STILL
SEEING SOME CHANCE FOR MAINLY MINOR FLOODING ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI
IN SPOTS LATER THIS WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK...PARTICULARLY UP
AROUND WABASHA AND PROBABLY DOWNSTREAM OF MCGREGOR AS ALL THAT
WATER FROM THE WISCONSIN COMES INTO PLAY. THANKFULLY...NOT MUCH
ADDITIONAL PRECIP EXPECTED OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
