Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
702 PM CDT Sat Mar 28 2020

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 215 PM CDT Sat Mar 28 2020

At 2 PM, a rapidly strengthening surface low was just moving into
southwest Iowa. The warm front was located over southern Iowa.
Temperatures were in the 40s north of this front and in the 60s
and 70s south of this front.

The models continue to show that this low will move northeast this
afternoon and tonight. It continues to look like there will be a
potential in the HRRR and RAP that the warm sector could get into
the southern portions of Fayette and Clayton counties in northeast
Iowa and Grant County in southwest Wisconsin. Surface based CAPES
may climb up to 750 J/kg. Helicity is up to 250 and the 0-1 km
shear is 40 knots. Due to this, there is still a potential of
isolated tornadoes and damaging winds. These storms will move at
50 to 60 mph.

Further to the north, the elevated CAPES will climb up to
1000 J/kg up to Interstate 90. With the shear over 40 knots, some
of the storms could become supercells. With a straight-line
hodograph, there could be right and left supercells. The main
threat will be hail. The largest hail will likely range from 1 to
1.5 inches.

From tonight into Sunday, a deformation band of rain will move
east across the area. Additional rain will range from 0.25 to 0.75
inches. Northwest winds will gust into the 30 to 40 mph from late
Sunday morning into the afternoon.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday)
Issued at 215 PM CDT Sat Mar 28 2020

On Sunday evening, the deformation band of precipitation will move
quickly east out of the area. Before it exits the area, the rain
may mix with some light snow north of Interstate 94. As the
pressure gradient relaxes during the late evening and overnight,
the sustained wind and wind gusts will gradually diminish.

As we head into the April, a shortwave trough and cold front will
move out of the Northern Plains and through the Upper Mississippi
River Valley. The models continue to struggle on the timing of
when this colder air will move into the region. As a result, just
stayed with the NBM. In the wake of this front, high temperatures
will range from the mid- 30s to mid-40s, and low temperatures
will be mainly in the 20s.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening)
Issued at 702 PM CDT Sat Mar 28 2020

LIFR conditions are expected tonight into tomorrow morning at KRST,
with MVFR to IFR conditions at KLSE.

A narrow line of showers with occasional thunder are moving through
KRST this evening. These should continue to move northeast over the
next 1-2 hours, reaching KLSE by around 01Z to 02Z. The line is
expected to quickly move northeast, exiting both TAF sites by
03Z. Some small hail may be possible in stronger storms within
this line. Scattered to isolated showers will be found following
this line as the dry slot of approaching low pressure wraps into
the area, but low ceilings are expected to continue at KRST and
KLSE. Will have to watch for patchy fog development as well
overnight, but confidence is lower in this occurring. There will
be a small window of a few hours later tonight that KLSE might be
able to break out of the lower IFR/MVFR ceilings, but several
models keep this to the southeast of KLSE and will opt to keep low
clouds in the TAF for now. Shower activity will pick up again
late tonight into Sunday morning as rain wraps around the back
side of low pressure moving east across the area. Gusty east winds
this evening will decrease tonight, then turn around to the
northwest and increase again Sunday morning on the back side of
the low pressure system. Gusts of 30 to 35 knots are possible
tomorrow, especially at KRST.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 215 PM CDT Sat Mar 28 2020

Rainfall totals will range from 0.25 to 0.75 inch across the area
through tonight. This is about a quarter inch than the previous
forecast. This was done due to the speed of the showers and storms
late this afternoon and evening and the dry slot which will be
moving into the area tonight.

This rain will result in rises on area rivers. Those on the Black
and Kickapoo rivers may approach minor flood stage early next
week. Meanwhile, those along the Mississippi River may see minor
flooding during the latter half of next week.
