Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
314 AM CDT Mon Jun 8 2020

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Wednesday Night)
Issued at 314 AM CDT Mon Jun 8 2020

Hang on folks - lots of weather to talk about over the next 3 days.
Quick peek at the early morning analysis shows quite the amplified
pattern continuing over the CONUS, featuring broad/strong upper
troughing over much of the western states, while broad ridging is
centered from the Tennessee Valley northward through the Great
Lakes, in advance of the most notable feature - Tropical Storm
Cristobal working north through LA/MS at this early hour. Plenty of
ongoing convection well to our northwest on the nose of a strong low
level jet pointed up into northern Minnesota while around these
parts, all is quiet on the home front given a lack of forcing and
drier air with mid level ridging/capping firmly in place.

That won't change much today, with a quite sunny day and very warm
day expected as capping holds firm while 925 mb temperatures working
into the 24-27C range support highs in the upper 80s and lower 90s
for pretty much all areas. As alluded to in this space yesterday,
will watch an interesting area of drier air aloft circulating
northwestward out of the Ohio Valley later this afternoon, with a
pronounced dry wedge above 900 mb arriving for parts of northeast
Iowa into western Wisconsin during peak heating, supporting the
notion of dew points mixing out perhaps into the 50s, similar to
what occurred under that pocket well to our east on Sunday. Not a
big deal but will be neat to watch.

Of course, the focus then shifts to the well-advertised remnants of
Cristobal as the system lifts pretty much due north through the
region on Tuesday. Still a bit of a question regarding exactly where
the system will track owing to how fast stronger shortwave energy
drives east through the Central Plains, but confidence is high the
track will be between the goal posts of the Mississippi River on the
west to the I-39 corridor on the east. As mentioned previously, that
track will have a good deal to say about a localized spin-up tornado
threat directly ahead of the low with substantial low level
turning/shear in a tropically moist environment (i.e. low CAPE/high
shear). Per current trends, that risk would be highest across
central Wisconsin but a somewhat slower trend noted with the
system may preclude the best overlap of instability/shear as the
strongest hodograph curvature arrives after sunset.

Main show still looks to be a slug of heavy rainfall for much of the
area with PWAT values surging toward 2+ inches and warm cloud depths
just plain impressive at 4.5+ km (maxing out this forecaster's
display). Limiting factor continues to be a fast forward speed of
the storm, but given strong forcing/moisture transport in said
tropical environment, it won't take long to put down some fairly
hefty rain amounts, augmented by any convective elements. At the
moment, not entirely sure how much of a true flash flood threat will
exist given expectations for an areal coverage of 2-3 inches of rain
for many areas falling over ~6 hours, but of course localized
training bands of convection coupled with steep local terrain
would do the trick. Will continue to monitor, but this setup could
end up featuring more of a widespread longer duration river flood
threat, particularly with additional rainfall becoming likely
into Wednesday with continued strong hints that the emerging
energy from the Central Plains will close off nearby and light off
another batch of deformation- driven precipitation for much of
the area (exact placement to be determined). After coordination
with surrounding offices, will opt for a Flash Flood Watch Tuesday
afternoon/evening roughly along and east of the Mississippi River,
though placement may need some tweaks along the way.

Finally, not to be forgotten remains wind potential into Wednesday.
To be honest, this forecaster's confidence in how high winds will
get is somewhat low only given remaining discrepancies in how the
surface pressure pattern will evolve. It certainly appears as if the
remnants of Cristobal will continue to deepen as it gains latitude
given a coupled jet structure in place and other driving dynamics
aloft, but how a potential secondary low develops (or doesn't) in
associated with the secondary piece of shortwave energy is very much
in question. A weaker secondary low would deliver a much baggier
gradient over the local area for much of Wednesday, supportive of
much lighter winds here, but a rapidly deepening wave to the north
as well as second feature nearby would support a very tight gradient
and rapid cranking of the flow aloft (to the tune of 50+ knots above
900 mb). That latter more amplified setup would also favor some
quite chilly air wrapping into the area through the day Wednesday,
with some guidance suggestive of temperatures only in the 50s for
many areas with gust potential of 40+ mph. Suffice it to say this
forecaster doesn't yet have all the answers regarding wind but need
to monitor closely given what should be very wet soils and the
potential for trees to more easily topple.

Wow...that's a lot. One final note for all of you who made it this
far - depending on just how deep the surface wave is by the time it
reaches here (some indications of sub-990mb), we could flirt with
some June pressure records. Only readily available records at the
moment are La Crosse with an all-time June low value of 987.8mb set
on June 6, 1917 and Rochester with a reading of 988.7mb back on June
7, 2008. Could be close!

.LONG TERM...(Thursday through Sunday)
Issued at 314 AM CDT Mon Jun 8 2020

Quieter weather still on track to arrive for late week and into the
weekend but with quite a few questions about how the overall upper
pattern will evolve. ECMWF is now insistent in building pronounced
mid level ridging north into the area for the weekend, whereas the
GFS and nearly all of the GEFS ensembles insist quite the opposite
as upper troughing and quite chilly air aloft hang tight. A classic
model battle royale! For obvious reasons didn't have much time to
dig into the details so will let a blend ride at this point and sort
out those details later. Thankfully, regardless of a cooler or
warmer solution that ultimately wins out, mainly dry conditions
appear probable for much of the period.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night)
Issued at 1142 PM CDT Sun Jun 7 2020

Southerly winds have lessened some across the area, though there are
still some gusts upwards of 20 to 25 kts across southeast Minnesota.
With the low-level jet kicking up, LLWS is occurring across the
area with 2k ft winds ranging from 40 to 45 kts. It will be rather
borderline at KRST with surface sustained winds around 15 kts,
but decided to include it with this issuance as radar vertical
wind profile has 2k ft winds of 40 kts at KARX and between 45 and
50 kts at KMPX as of 05Z. Winds increase by mid to late morning,
with gusts in the 20 to 30 kt range through early evening.
Otherwise, VFR conditions continue through the TAF period.

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 314 AM CDT Mon Jun 8 2020

A period of heavy rain appears on track arriving Tuesday afternoon
and evening, with lighter rainfall lingering into Wednesday.
Average rainfall amounts of 2-3 inches are expected as tropical
moisture works into the region, with the potential for both
localized flash flooding where heavier rains traverse the same
areas and longer duration river flooding. A Flash Flood Watch has
been issued for areas along and east of the Mississippi River
where the risk for localized flash flooding appears maximized with
expectations for the heavier rainfall and steeper terrain.
