Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
325 PM CDT Thu Mar 23 2017

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 321 PM CDT Thu Mar 23 2017

At 3 PM, a small area of showers and scattered thunderstorms were
moving east across northeast Iowa and along the Minnesota/Iowa
border. This was developing along an elevated warm front. There
has been a few reports of hail to around 1 inch in diameter. In
addition with very dry air below the cloud bases, some of the
showers have been producing wind gusts up to 40 mph.

From tonight into Friday, a cold front will slowly sink southward
through the forecast area. Moderate 850 mb moisture transport will
raise the precipitable water values to around 1.25 range. This is
around 3 standard deviations above normal. With most unstable
CAPES up to 250 J/kg, there will be a possibility for isolated to
scattered thunderstorms. The highest CAPES and the best 0-6 km
shear will be this evening and this could result in the potential
for some hail up to 1 inch in diameter. Rainfall amounts along
and north of Interstate 90 will range from 1 to 2 inches.

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday)
Issued at 321 PM CDT Thu Mar 23 2017

From Friday night into Saturday morning, a cold front will move
slowly south across the area. Southerly winds ahead of an
approaching upper level low will bring a narrow band of Gulf of
Mexico moisture northward into the region and this moisture will
pool along this front. Precipitable water values will range from
an inch to 1.25 inches. This 2.5 to 3 standard deviations above
normal. Fortunately, the moisture transport will be weak to
moderate, the most unstable CAPES are generally less than
150 J/kg, and there is generally weak convergence along this
front. This will keep the hourly rainfall rates under control.
Rainfall totals during this time frame will range from a half to
1 inch. The heaviest rain will be found along and south of the
Interstate 90 corridor. Meanwhile further north, there are some
questions on where the northern extent of this precipitation will
be located. This could present some issues for the potential of
light freezing rain in north central Wisconsin. However with this
said, confidence remains low that this will even occur.

From Saturday afternoon into Monday, a slow moving upper level low
pressure area will move south and southeast of the forecast area.
Wrap around moisture will keep a chance of showers into the
forecast area. Additional rainfall amounts will be less than a
tenth of an inch.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon)
Issued at 1238 PM CDT Thu Mar 23 2017

Main taf concerns through the period is rain moving into the region
and ceilings lowering into IFR at the RST/LSE taf sites. Low
pressure on the lee-side of the Rocky Mountains is expected to
push into Kansas through the taf period. Southerly winds ahead of
the low pressure system will continue to advect low level moisture
into the region. With the low level moisture...precipitation
chances will increase across the area at both RST/LSE taf sites
and MVFR conditions lowering to IFR conditions at the RST/LSE taf
sites mainly after 08z Friday. Low level wind shear will also
occur at both taf sites between 07-11z Friday.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...Tonight through Saturday
Issued at 321 PM CDT Thu Mar 23 2017

Like the past couple of days, it continues to look like anywhere
from a half to 1.50 inches of rain will fall across the area from
tonight through Saturday. There may be even a few locations that
could potentially see rainfall totals up to 2 inches. With this
rain falling over over a long duration, only in bank rises are
currently expected for area streams and rivers.
