Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 3:30 AM CST, 4 hours before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI 430 AM CDT FRI JUN 11 2004 .SHORT TERM...THROUGH MONDAY FORECAST FOCUS REMAINS ON RAIN. WHEN AND HOW MUCH...INCLUDING THE POSSIBILITY FOR MORE FLOODING. 08Z SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS LOW PRESSURE OVER THE WESTERN DAKOTAS... WITH ANOTHER LOW CENTER NEAR HASTINGS NEBRASKA. WARM FRONT REACHES EAST FROM THE SECOND LOW CENTER...ACROSS NORTHERN IA AND ALONG THE IL/WI BORDER. SATELLITE FOG ENHANCEMENT IMAGERY SHOWS EXTENSIVE LOW CLOUD COVER OVER ALL THE UPPER MIDWEST...WHILE WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWS POTENT WAVES ROTATING THROUGH UPPER TROUGH OVER MT/WY. FIRST OF THESE WAVES FUELING CONVECTIVE COMPLEX OVER NORTHWEST IA/SOUTHWEST MN. THIS HEADED EAST TOWARD AREA FOR THE MORNING HOURS PER REGIONAL RADAR LOOPS. NONE OF THE 00Z 11JUN04 MODELS HANDLES THE CURRENT ACTIVITY PARTICULARLY WELL...BUT THE ETA SEEMS TO HAVE THE BEST GRASP ON THE MASS FIELDS ACCOUNTING FOR IT. THUS...FAVOR THE ETA SOLUTION FOR THIS FORECAST. LOW LEVEL JET AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT ARE FOCUSING ALONG THE MN/IA BORDER REGION THIS MORNING...AND THIS SHOULD KEEP THE CURRENT CONVECTION GOING INTO THE DAYLIGHT HOURS. EXPECT IT TO WEAKEN SOMEWHAT...BUT SHOULD HOLD TOGETHER LONG ENOUGH TO GIVE MOST OF THE AREA ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN THIS MORNING. WEAKENING TREND AND FAST MOVEMENT OF THE RAIN NOT EXPECTED TO RESULT IN FLOODING PROBLEMS YET. ALSO A LINGERING BATCH OF LIGHT SHOWERS AND DRIZZLE EXITING THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA CURRENTLY AS STRONG WARM ADVECTION AND ISENTROPIC LIFT OVER THE STATIONARY BOUNDARY ALONG THE SOUTHERN BORDER OF THE FORECAST AREA AS MENTIONED. FRONT TO REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY...OR AT BEST EDGE A BIT FURTHER NORTH TODAY. MODELS TRY TO SUGGEST THAT WE WILL SEE SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER TODAY...BUT HAVING MY DOUBTS ABOUT THAT. IF THE BREAKS OCCUR...MODELS /ETA IN PARTICULAR/ GENERATE A GOOD DEAL OF CAPE...WITH MLCAPE NEAR 3000 K/JG. ALSO...WITH CLEARING TEMPERATURES COULD WARM NICELY INTO THE 80S. AM NOT GOING FULL OUT FOR THE SUN MAKING AN APPEARANCE TODAY...AND WENT ON THE COOL SIDE OF GUIDANCE. OVER THE NORTH...COOL EAST FLOW AND PLENTY OF CLOUDS SHOULD KEEP TEMPERATURES VERY COOL. ANOTHER SHORT WAVE TROUGH ROTATES ACROSS THE AREA TO INTERACT WITH THE FRONT LATE TODAY AND TONIGHT. THIS SHOULD RESULT IN MORE RAIN DEVELOPMENT. ETA MOST ROBUST WITH AMOUNTS...GENERATING BETWEEN A HALF AND THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH. AGAIN...WITH SOME DOUBT ON PLACEMENT AND RELATIVE QUICK HITTING NATURE OF THIS RAIN...AM HOPING WE WILL NOT HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL FLOODING PROBLEMS. BUT...THIS WILL HAVE TO BE CLOSELY MONITORED...WITH MOST RIVERS AND CREEKS RUNNING VERY HIGH FROM THE RECENT DELUGE. HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK ISSUED ON THIS AT 409 AM. AREA SHOULD SEE A BREAK IN THE RAIN FOR SATURDAY...AS HIGH PRESSURE MAKES A BRIEF APPEARANCE. BUT THE STAGE IS SET AGAIN FOR RAIN SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. GOOD LOW LEVEL JET AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT POINT AT THE AREA AGAIN...WITH SOME FURTHER ASSISTANCE FROM A SHORT WAVE...AND AGEOSTROPHIC DIVERGENCE WITH UPPER JET MAX AND CURVATURE COMPONENTS. ETA/GFS BOTH DEVELOP CONVECTION AND MOVE IT THROUGH THE FORECAST AREA. ETA LIGHTER AND FURTHER NORTH...WITH GFS QUITE HEAVY AND FURTHER SOUTH. POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SOME FLOODING PROBLEMS IF THIS RAINFALL VERIFIES...SO WILL HAVE TO MONITOR FOR THE NEED FOR A FLOOD WATCH. THE RAIN EXITS ON SUNDAY...WITH ANOTHER BRIEF BREAK. BUT ANOTHER DISTURBANCE AND ALL THE ATTENDANT DYNAMIC AND THERMODYNAMIC FEATURES ARRIVE FOR SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. ONCE AGAIN... CONVECTION APPEARS A GOOD BET. .LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY RAIN CHANCES LOOK TO LINGER THROUGH MONDAY AND INTO MONDAY NIGHT... WITH SOME RESPITE AGAIN FOR TUESDAY. ZONAL FLOW PATTERN SHIFTS SLIGHTLY TO BECOME A BIT MORE NORTHWEST BY TUESDAY...AND THIS SHOULD KEEP THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT AT BAY FOR A WHILE. STILL...A COOL AND SHOWERY WEATHER REGIME LOOKS TO PREVAIL THROUGH THURSDAY. && .ARX...WATCHES/WARNING/ADVISORIES... IA...NONE. MN...NONE. WI...NONE. && MW
