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 Apr 24, 11:59 AM CDT, 2 hours 19 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 24, 11:59 AM CDT, 2 hours 19 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service La Crosse WI 1159 AM CDT Tue Apr 24 2018 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 245 AM CDT Tue Apr 24 2018 Water vapor imagery early today showed an upper low spinning across the middle MS Valley and additional upper troughs over the northern Rockies and Canadian prairies. A cold front was situated from Lake Superior back through northern/central Minnesota. For today, the upper trough over the northern Rockies will slowly move into the northern high plains while the system to the north across Canada heads towards Lake Superior. The surface cold front will swing southward through the day, although with the airmass preceding the front remaining quite mild, expect highs back up into the 60s to low 70s once again, similar to yesterday. Forcing from any of these features is weak enough over the area that NAM/RAP soundings struggle to show any deep saturation later today. Did maintain some very low pops in central WI this afternoon/evening and a sprinkle or two couldn't be ruled out elsewhere. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 245 AM CDT Tue Apr 24 2018 Modestly cooler temps are expected Wednesday behind the frontal passage as high pressure spreads across the area. Temps will rebound on Thursday as 925 mb temps of 12-13C pool ahead of an approaching cold front. As a result, highs well into the 60s are expected across much of the area. Showers are possible later Thursday/Thursday evening with the trough/frontal passage. The 24.00Z ECMWF is drier compared with the NAM/GFS with a weaker front and broad positively tilted upper trough. For now stuck with low to mid range pops for this time. Slightly cooler, but still seasonable temps return on Friday beneath northwesterly flow aloft. Heading into the weekend and early next week, mid/upper ridging across the plains will gradually push eastward. At the surface, expansive high pressure will spread south and eastward with broad southerly return flow developing by later in the weekend. This will coincide with increasing low-level warm/moist advection through early next week. Temps will trend upward, with highs possibly well into the 70s by Monday. A more active period may develop for the first half of next week with southwest flow aloft. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon) Issued at 1159 AM CDT Tue Apr 24 2018 VFR conditions through the period. A trough of low pressure will push southeast across the area this afternoon into this evening, bringing with it some increase in altocumulus clouds with bases at or above 10kft. High pressure builds in later tonight into Wednesday for clearing skies. Look for north winds of 10-15kt this afternoon, tapering to less than 10 kt tonight, remaining less than 10 kt through Wednesday morning. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 245 AM CDT Tue Apr 24 2018 Minor flooding is possible along portions of the Mississippi River and the Yellow River at Necedah over the next several days as snowmelt runoff continues to progress through the river system. See the latest hydrologic outlook (ESF) for more information. && .ARX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...None. MN...None. IA...None. && SHORT TERM...JM LONG TERM...JM AVIATION...DAS HYDROLOGY...JM
