National Weather Service La Crosse WI
542 AM CDT Tue Sep 4 2018
.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 323 PM CDT Mon Sep 3 2018
Main short-term fcst concern is the heavy rain/flash flooding threat
late this afternoon/tonight, and a threat of strong to severe TSRA
this afternoon/evening.
06z data analysis had high pressure to our east and low pressure to
our west in the Dakotas. Deep southerly flow between the 2 and and
of troughing emerging from the Rockies continues to feed a very
moist airmass into the region. Convection continues to fire in the
stronger low level moisture transport of a 1.8 to 2 inch PW airmass
from western IA to eastern WI. SHRA/TSRA early this morning are
efficient rain makers with the stronger storms producing 1 to 2
inches of rain per hour. Some water problems ongoing across parts
of the SE side of the fcst area where earlier rains have left
soils saturated.
Model runs of 04.00z initialized rather well with solutions similar
at the larger scale as the troughing and shortwave energy lift
across the plains today and into the Upper Midwest tonight. Lower
level meso-scale detail differences continue though. Fcst confidence
is generally good, but not as good as one would really like given
the potential impacts of the weather later this afternoon/tonight.
A lull in the moisture transport/lower level thermo-dynamic forcing
expected around 12z this morning as one weak shortwave exits
northeast. Much of the area to experience a break in the SHRA/TSRA
right away this morning but moisture transport and lift start to
return by mid morning as the next shortwave out of the western
troughing lifts toward the region and 925-700mb winds increase.
Higher SHRA/TSRA chances later this morning focused over the NW side
of the fcst area. Lower level winds and transport of moisture
continue to increase this afternoon, with an increase of lower level
shear. CAPE progged to increase as well mainly over the SE 1/2 to
2/3 of the fcst area where temps are looking to warm into the upper
70s/lower 80s. A few strong to severe TSRA looking possible this
afternoon into this evening. Severe threat looking somewhat
conditional that there is a break from convection this morning and
some diurnal warming can occur to build instability. See SWODY1
for more details.
Stronger lower level winds this afternoon/evening mean stronger
transport of a 2+ inch PW airmass NE across the fcst area this
afternoon/tonight. This ahead the approaching sfc-700mb trough and
the F-gen forcing/lift with it. A line of SHRA/TSRA expected to
develop this afternoon, mainly just NW of the fcst area, then
translate slowly into/across the area late this afternoon/tonight.
Model consensus continues to indicate potential for very heavy rains
start late this afternoon and continue thru tonight. Strongest focus
for the heaviest rains remains over about the NW half of the fcst
area, which has had less rainfall the past week than areas along/
south of I-90. Even so, the threat of flash flooding elevated across
the entire fcst area with bulk of models producing a band of 2 to 6
inches of rainfall tonight. Question remains exactly where the band
occurs as meso-scale detail differences produce varying answers
among the models. For that reason, will issue a flash flood watch
for the entire fcst area tonight, starting late this afternoon
along/NW of a KOLZ-KLSE-KMFI line and continuing into Wed morning
east/south of KLSE. Not a situation to be taken lightly tonight
given the rainfall potential and susceptibility of the stream and
river systems to it right now.
.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 323 AM CDT Tue Sep 4 2018
For Wednesday thru Thursday night: main concerns this period are
exiting SHRA/TSRA Wed then cooler, more September like temperatures
thru Thu night.
Model runs of 040.00z in good agreement for the mid level trough axis
to pass Wed, followed by quiet westerly flow Wed night thru Thu
night. Fcst confidence for a much quieter weather this period,
especially after Wed is good.
Sfc front is progged to still be crossing the area Wed morning, with
the mid level trough to pass in the afternoon. Some SHRA/TSRA
expected to be continuing over mainly the SE half of the fcst area
Wed morning. With this area unable to absorb any more rainfall,
seems only natural to continue the flash flood watch thru Wed
morning south and east of KLSE until at least the 850mb trough axis
passes and the high PW airmass is pushed out of the fcst area. By
Wed afternoon, cooler and much drier Can high pressure is building
SE across the region, bringing sfc dew points dropping out of the
60s and a decrease of rain chances/clouds from the NW. Drying/
cooling settles across the area for Wed night thru Thu night as the
center of the high drifts over the great lakes and north to east low
level flow spreads across the area. A touch of fall looks to be in
the air by Wed night thru Thu night with mostly clear skies and lows
in the mid 40s to mid 50s and highs mostly 70-75. Will have to watch
Thu night for the potential of late night valley fog with the sfc
ridge axis over the area but can deal with that later.
For Friday thru Monday (days 4 to 7): main fcst concerns this period
are the remnant of 'Gordon' potentially impacting the area Fri
night/Sat.
Medium range model runs of 04.00z on decent agreement for a mid
level trough to come across the central plains Fri, picking up the
remnants of 'Gordon' then moving thru the mid/upper MS valley Fri
night thru Sat night. Quasi-zonal flow to return for Sun/Mon, but as
usual models at odds on timing of shortwaves thru the flow by days
6/7. day 4-7 confidence is average this cycle.
Friday looking to be an extension of the weather of Thu with the
Can/great lakes high holding over the region. Small Consensus
SHRA/TSRA chances across the SW side of the fcst area around the
perimeter of the high OK for now. Plenty of model detail difference
with the timing and latitude of the remnants of 'Gordon' moving
thru the mid/upper MS centered on Sat. ECMWF the slowest/furthest
north with the remnants, bringing into the fcst area while
GFS/GEM/GEFS faster and keep it generally south of the WI/IL border.
Some SHRA/TSRA chances mainly across the south half of the fcst area
centered on Sat OK for now. Given the differences in timing of
shortwave thru quasi-zonal flow, some small SHRA/TSRA chances
returning by Mon are reasonable. Thru all this, trend of
temperatures near to a bit below normal Fri-Mon looks good.
&&
.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday morning)
Issued at 542 AM CDT Tue Sep 4 2018
Another taf period dominated by convection. Most of the area to get
a lull from SHRA/TSRA early this morning, but forcing/lift and
moisture into the area increases thru the day and maximizes this
evening. SHRA/TSRA to gradually increase thru the late morning and
afternoon, become numerous/widespread for the evening, then diminish
from west to east during the overnight hours. Some VFR conditions
expected for the late morning/afternoon hours, with mainly MVFR/IFR
cigs by late afternoon thru tonight. MVFR vsbys to prevail in the
SHRA/TSRA later this afternoon into the overnight hours. Any
stronger SHRA/TSRA will have IFR vsbys in the cores as they will be
efficient heavy rain producers, and may yet need a period of IFR
TSRA this evening when timing becomes clearer. Improving conditions
expected thru the day on Wed as drier Canadian high pressure builds
into the region.
&&
.HYDROLOGY...today into Wed morning
Issued at 323 AM CDT Tue Sep 4 2018
Periods of heavy rain are expected into Wednesday morning. Given the
high PW values, any storms will continue to be efficient rain
producers with rain rates up to 2 inches/hr possible. If any storms
train over areas that have received heavy rains over the past week
to 10 days, areas of flooding could develop.
The highest potential for additional heavy rains and possible flash
flooding, remains focused on this afternoon and tonight. The next
cold front will be advancing into the area with strong moisture
transport focused into the front. An axis of high PW values, at and
above 2 inches, will reside ahead of the front. A strong linear
forcing signal will accompany the front, with the sfc-mid level flow
parallel to the front/forcing. The concerns remain timing and where
will the strongest forcing/lift/training set up to produce a band of
heavy/excessive rains. Consensus at this time is from north-central
IA to NE WI, just NW of the fcst area this afternoon, then
translating east/SE across the fcst area tonight. Much of the
landscape is saturated from rains of the past week - 10 days,
especially near and south of I-90. Any additional heavy rains have
the potential to quickly producing runoff and rises/flooding on
rivers and streams. However, uncertainty remains on the exact
location of the heaviest rain band as variability continues among
both the global and CAMs/hi-res models. Some consistency for as much
as 3 to 6 inches of rain in the band thru tonight though. Given the
sensitivity of the landscape and rivers to any more rain, will issue
a flash flood watch for the entire area centered on tonight.
Minor flooding is already occurring along parts of the Kickapoo and
Turkey Rivers, with potential for moderate flooding from rains that
have already fallen. See the latest flood statements for more
details.
