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 May 2, 6:25 AM CDT, 4 hours 47 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 2, 6:25 AM CDT, 4 hours 47 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service La Crosse WI 625 AM CDT Wed May 2 2018 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 348 AM CDT Wed May 2 2018 At 3 AM, a surface low was located northwest of Green Bay. This system brought the showers and storms to our area on Tuesday evening and early this morning. These lingering showers will exit the area by sunrise. Rain cooled area in the wake of this convection will keep the area stable this morning, so not expecting too much redevelopment until mid to late afternoon as another wave moves northeast along the frontal boundary. The 02.00z models are differing on how much surface based and elevated CAPE will build south of Interstate 90. The RAP only has 500 to 1000 J/kg. Meanwhile, the GFS has higher dew points (mid- 60s), so it has CAPES are in the 2-3K J/kg. The NAM and ECMWF are more in the 1-2K range. With better shear (0-6 km greater than 40 knots - much of it in the 0-3 km layer), the amount of instability in very important factor for determining our severe weather threat. Looking at the dew points upstream, thinking that the NAM and ECMWF seem a bit more realistic with their CAPES. Like this evening, the soundings suggest that the convection across northeast Iowa and southwest Wisconsin will be mainly elevated, so isolated hail looks to be the primary threat late this afternoon and early evening. The showers and scattered storms will continue into the early overnight and then depart the area by morning. .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 348 AM CDT Wed May 2 2018 On Thursday afternoon and Thursday night, a southern stream short wave trough will move northeast through the area. The models continue to differ on where the heaviest rain with this system will fall. The 00z runs continue to be much further north than the 12z runs. There is considerable difference in the dew points across the region. The NAM has dew points mainly in the 50s. Meanwhile, the GFS has dew points in the lower and mid 60s south of Interstate 94. The ECMWF is between these 2 models. These dew points are in important because they have a huge impact on the amount of CAPE available. The NAM and ECMWF both have CAPES less than 1K J/kg. Meanwhile, the GFS has CAPES of 1.5-2.5 J/kg. With all these models having deep shear, these CAPES will have to be something to monitor. However, with the cloud cover ahead of this system and rain cooled air from the convection tonight would think that the lower CAPE scenarios in the NAM and ECMWF seem a bit more realistic. With precipitable water values up to 1.5 inches, some heavy rainfall could occur along and south of the Interstate 90 corridor. From late Saturday afternoon into Saturday night, a northern stream short wave will move southeast through the region. Unlike the system earlier this week, there will be less of a Gulf of Mexico connection, so rainfall amounts will be generally less than a quarter of an inch. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning) Issued at 625 AM CDT Wed May 2 2018 Took much longer than expected, but stratus has finally developed in the vicinity of Rochester (along with a little fog). That stratus is expected to hang tight for a few hours this morning with LIFR conditions for RST but MVFR conditions likely expanding east toward LSE for a few hours as well. However, confidence on thicker stratus reaching LSE isn't exactly the highest now that the sun is coming up, so there is some chance that LSE actually ends up avoiding much of the lower stratus. Something to watch closely the next hour or two. Otherwise, looking like a return to VFR for both locations by late morning with just some thicker mid level clouds working overhead. Later tonight, we could see some showers branch north toward LSE for a few hours after mainly 06Z, though conditions would remain VFR should that occur. Winds will shift northwest this morning around 10 knots, becoming light overnight. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 348 AM CDT Wed May 2 2018 Flood warnings continue along stretches of the Mississippi River. Additional rounds of rainfall are possible from today through Thursday night. Additional rainfall south of Interstate 90 looks to be in the 1 to 2 inch range. With soils still dry across northeast Iowa and southwest Wisconsin, much of this rain will likely go into the soils. Therefore, not expecting widespread flooding from this rain, but additional rises on area rivers are possible. This will be especially along the case along the Kickapoo River. Please see water.weather.gov for the specific river forecast information. && .CLIMATE... Issued at 348 AM CDT Wed May 2 2018 With a high temperature of 79F at La Crosse Regional Airport, this was the warmest start to a May since 2001 (also 79F). A total of 0.92 inches of rain fell. This was the wettest start to a May since 1993 (1.17 inches - tied for the wettest May 1st). This was the 5th wettest start to a May. The only Mays which had a wetter starts were 1911, 1935, and 1993 which all had 1.17 inches of rain and 1973 (1 inch). Rochester had a high temperature of 71F which was their warmest start since 2012 (also 71F). A total of 0.59 inches of rain fell. This was the wettest start to a May since 2013 (1.02 inches). && .ARX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...None. MN...None.
