Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
630 AM CDT Tue Oct 9 2018

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 325 AM CDT Tue Oct 9 2018

Water vapor imagery early today continued to show amplified
meridional flow across the area with strong ridging centered off the
Mid-Atlantic coast. Deep southerly flow continues to advect a steady
stream of anomalous moisture into the area with precipitable water
anomalies remaining 2 to 3 standard deviations above average for
this time of year. A surface boundary stretches from KS northeast
towards the UP of Michigan.

This morning a few shortwave troughs and associated low-level
moisture transport within the frontal zone will continue to
provide support for showers and isolated storms lifting northeast
across the area, with the focus from north-central IA through
north-central WI. The frontal boundary will not move much through
tonight with the synoptic flow regime relatively unchanged.
Another shortwave trough and slug of stronger moisture transport
will arrive later this afternoon and this evening with more
widespread showers and storms returning. This will be the favored
time period for additional heavier rains. See the hydro section
below for more details. With portions of northeast IA through
southwest WI in the warm sector and the RAP/NAM showing up to 1000
to 2000 J/kg of MLCAPE around 40 kts of 0-3 km shear and
increasing 0-1 km shear this evening as the low-level jet
increases, certainly will have to watch for potential severe
storms in this area late afternoon into the evening. Damaging
winds and possibly an isolated tornado are the main threats. With
the front draped across the area today, highs will range from near
60 over parts of SE MN into NC WI to the upper 70s in SW WI.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 325 AM CDT Tue Oct 9 2018

Guidance is a tad slower in lifting the main upper wave and surface
low across the Upper Mississippi Valley on Wednesday, consequently
keeping rain chances going into the day with some storms possible
ahead of the front. By evening, the cold front will have cleared
the area with the low moving towards Lake Superior. This should
finally put an end to most of the rain over the area.

Strong cold advection will take hold behind the front Wednesday into
Wednesday night as 850 mb temps plummet from 12-15C 12Z Wed to
around -5C by early Thursday. A period of strong, gusty northwest
winds are expected with the surge of cold advection Wed
afternoon/evening with temps falling into the 30s by Thursday
morning. A few showers could linger over northern WI Wed night as
the low pulls away.

Thursday will be a brisk, chilly day with some lingering low
stratocu, gusty northwest winds, and highs stuck in the 40s. Gradual
clearing is expected as surface high pressure builds in from the
west. Thursday night continues to look like a cold night with the
surface high approaching. Lows should fall into the 20s to low 30s
over the area. There will be, however, some increase in mid/high
clouds overnight ahead of another upper trough approaching from the
northwest. With the surface high sliding across the area on Friday,
expect another dry and chilly day, despite the upper trough passage.

Dry conditions with shortwave ridging are expected for at least
most of Saturday ahead of an upper trough that will approach by
late in the weekend into early next week. The trough passage will
be accompanied by some precip chances late Saturday into Monday,
although models differ on the evolution of the upper trough and
surface reflection. Some snow could even mix in by Sunday night.
Cooler than average temps will persist through early next week
with highs in the 40s to low 50s.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday morning)
Issued at 630 AM CDT Tue Oct 9 2018

Very challenging forecast, highlighted by positioning of frontal
boundary and varying cloud/vsby impacts on either side of it.

Cigs/vsbys: KRST currently to the west of a warm front with LIFR/IFR
conditions as a result. Expect these conditions to continue through
tonight. Vsby could bob up on and down, but generally expecting some
restrictions either from rain or fog. KLSE is right on this front -
with low cigs north/west of it and VFR south of there. Same goes for
vsby. Latest meso models hinting that KLSE could get more into the
warm sector with the front inching north and west - moreso late this
afternoon/evening. This would shift KLSE back to VFR for a time
before dropping back into MVFR/IFR later in the night. With
confidence shaky in how the front will layup/move today, not a lot
of confidence in timing or any improvements. Going to hold with mvfr
now, but anticipate amendments/updates as conditions warrant.

WX: on and off showers today, with an increasing threat for storms
later this afternoon/evening. Meso model trends in the HRRR/Hopwrf
suggest KLSE could be mostly dry into early afternoon. Overnight
period could end up dry for the TAF sites before another round of
rain Wed morning as the mean upper level trough swings through.

Winds: big challenge here as position of warm front and then
eventual cold front swing winds back and forth. Going to side vrb to
southeast for KLSE for now and keep KRST northwest. Expect updates
later. In addition, see a potential short window for LLWS later
tonight as low level jet streaks overhead. Model differences between
the NAM (strong) and the GFS (not so much) keep confidence low
enough to monitor for now, add later if needed.

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 325 AM CDT Tue Oct 9 2018

Conditions will remain favorable for locally heavy rainfall into
Wednesday with anomalous moisture (pwats near or above 1.5 inches)
for early October and several upper impulses riding along a
relatively stationary boundary draped across the area. Additional
rainfall of 1 to 3 inches is possible through Wednesday, with
locally higher amounts. The highest amounts are favored from
parts of northeast IA through southeast MN and northwest WI,
with the heaviest rains expected late this afternoon into tonight.
The combined effects of rainfall over the past few days and the
expected rainfall will lead to rising river levels with minor to
moderate flooding possible on some area rivers over the coming
days. While the greatest impacts look to be on rivers and streams,
some urban flooding or localized flash flooding could develop this
evening, especially if thunderstorms repeat over the same area. A
Flood Watch has been expanded to include the entire area through
tonight. A trend towards drier weather is expect beginning later
Wednesday as a cold front moves through.
