AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
250 PM CDT SAT APR 12 2014

.SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 250 PM CDT SAT APR 12 2014

THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS THIS PACKAGE...SHRA/TSRA CHANCES AND
PRECIP AMOUNTS THROUGH THE PERIOD...TEMPERATURES.

DATA ANALYSIS AT 18Z HAD A RATHER STRONG WARM FRONT EAST-WEST ACROSS
FAR SOUTHERN WI AND NEAR THE MN/IA BORDER. TEMPS IN THE THE 40S/50S
NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY AND UPPER 60S/70S...DEW POINTS IN THE 50S
SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY. FRONT IS THE FOCUS FOR RATHER STRONG LIFTING
OF THE MOIST/UNSTABLE INFLOW AIRMASS ACROSS IA...RESULTING IN STRONG
TO SEVERE TSRA NEAR THE I-90 CORRIDOR ACROSS THE FCST AREA MUCH OF
THE MORNING. SOME WEAKENING OF THE 925-850MB FLOW OVER THE BOUNDARY
AND WEAK MID LEVEL SHORTWAVES MOVING EAST/NORTHEAST OF THE AREA HAS
ALLOWED SHRA/TSRA ACROSS THE AREA TO WEAKEN/DECREASE AT MID-DAY.

NO PROBLEMS NOTED WITH 12.12Z MODEL INITIALIZATIONS. SOLUTIONS OFFER
A TIGHT CONSENSUS AS HGTS FALL OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS/ROCKIES
TONIGHT/SUN...THEN THE TROUGHING MOVES INTO THE PLAINS SUN NIGHT.
TREND FAVORS STRONGER OF EARLIER RUNS WITH THE SHORTWAVE ENERGY
DROPPING THRU THE NORTHERN ROCKIES INTO THE GREAT BASIN/4 CORNERS
AREA TONIGHT/SUN AND AS IT PIVOTS INTO THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS
SUN NIGHT. CHECK OF OBS VS. MODEL DATA AT 18Z SHOWED...

IN THE SHORT TERM...SFC TROUGH/FRONT WILL SINK SOUTH ACROSS THE
SOUTH PART OF THE FCST AREA LATER THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING AND REMAIN
THE FOCUS FOR SHRA/TSRA. SOUTHWEST SFC-850MB WARM ADVECTION FLOW
WILL CONTINUE TO ADVECT A MOIST/UNSTABLE AIRMASS NORTHEAST INTO AND
OVER THIS BOUNDARY. THIS LOWER LEVEL FORCING AIDED BY ANOTHER
WEAK SHORTWAVE LIFTING EAST/NORTHEAST ACROSS IA INTO SOUTHERN WI
THRU THIS EVENING. ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST 1/3 TO HALF OF THE FCST AREA INTO
THE EVENING HOURS. SEE SWODY1 FOR DETAILS. CONTINUED THE 70-100
PERCENT SHRA/TSRA CHANCES OVER THE SOUTHEAST 1/3 OF THE FCST AREA
THIS EVENING WITH AVERAGE PRECIP AMOUNTS IN THE 1/2 TO 3/4 INCH
RANGE...HIGHER IN ANY TSRA. THE WEAK SHORTWAVE AND THE LOWER LEVEL
WARM ADVECTION MOVES EAST OF THE AREA OVERNIGHT WITH THE SFC-850MB
TROUGH/FRONT MOVING SOUTH OF THE AREA. CONTINUED THE DOWNWARD
TREND OF SHRA/TSRA CHANCES LATER TONIGHT/EARLY SUN MORNING WITH
THE AREA BETWEEN ROUND OF FORCING/ LIFT.

ANOTHER SHORTWAVE PROGGED TO LIFT NORTHEAST ACROSS IA/SOUTHERN WI
SUN/SUN EVENING...AHEAD OF THE STRONG TROUGHING DIGGING INTO THE
CENTRAL/NORTHERN PLAINS. THE SFC-850MB TROUGH/FRONT CONTINUES TO
SLOWLY SAG SOUTH OF THE AREA SUN/SUN NIGHT. IT REMAINS THE FOCUS
FOR THE BACKING 850-500MB FLOW AHEAD OF THE PLAINS TROUGHING TO
LIFT A RATHER MOIST 850-500MB AIRMASS NORTH-NORTHEAST AND OVER THE
THE AREA. STRONGEST/DEEPEST OF THE LIFT/MOISTURE REMAINS PROGGED
OVER THE SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE FCST AREA SUN AFTERNOON AND NOW
MORE INTO SUN EVENING. GIVEN STRENGTH/DEPTH OF THE FORCING/LIFT
AND SOME CAPE JUST SOUTH OF THE FCST AREA...CONTINUED A TSRA
CHANCE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST END OF THE FCST AREA SUN. RAISED
SHRA/TSRA CHANCES INTO THE 80-100 PERCENT RANGE ACROSS THE
SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE FCST AREA SUN AFTERNOON INTO SUN EVENING.
WITH THE SLOWING TREND OF THE MODEL CONSENSUS...SLOWED THE EXIT OF
THE -RA/-SN CHANCES LATER SUN NIGHT. WITH 0.75 TO 1 INCH OF PW IN
THE INFLOW AIRMASS... POTENTIAL EXITS FOR WIDESPREAD 1 TO 2 INCH
RAINS ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST 1/3 OF THE FCST AREA SUN AFTERNOON/
EVENING. SEE HYDROLOGY SECTION BELOW FOR MORE DETAILS.

DEEPENING LOW LEVEL COLD ADVECTION STILL LOOKS TO COOL THE COLUMN
ENOUGH FOR PRECIP ON THE TRAILING EDGE OF THE RAIN SHIELD TO MIX
WITH/CHANGE TO SNOW BEFORE THE PRECIP MOVES OUT/ENDS LATER SUN
NIGHT. SOME SNOW MENTION LATER SUN NIGHT STILL LOOKS GOOD HOWEVER
ANY ACCUMULATIONS WOULD BE MINOR. USED A BLEND OF THE NUMERICAL
GUIDANCE LOWS/HIGHS FOR TONIGHT THRU SUN NIGHT.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 250 PM CDT SAT APR 12 2014

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS FOR MON THRU TUE NIGHT...THE BELOW AND MUCH
BELOW NORMAL TEMPS.

12.12Z MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT FOR A COLD MID LEVEL TROUGH
TO DROP INTO/ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST MON THRU TUE. TREND BY TUE
NIGHT FAVORS FASTER OF THE EARLIER MODELS PROGRESSING THIS TROUGH
EAST AND OUT OF THE REGION AS THE NEXT STRONGER TROUGHING/ENERGY
DIGS INTO THE ROCKIES. GIVEN RATHER GOOD BETWEEN MODEL CONSISTENCY
FCST CONFIDENCE IN THIS GENERALLY COLD...DRY...QUIET PERIOD IS GOOD.

MON THRU TUE DOMINATED BY COLD...DRY CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING INTO/ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST. LOW LEVEL COLD ADVECTION
CONTINUES ACROSS THE AREA MON INTO TUE...WITH SOME LOW LEVEL WARM
ADVECTION RETURNING TUE NIGHT AS THE TROUGH SHIFTS EAST AND THE
SFC-500MB FLOW BECOMES MORE WESTERLY. 850MB TEMPS BY 12Z MON IN
THE -3C TO -9C RANGE THEN -9C TO -15C RANGE AT 12Z TUE...SOME 1 TO
2.5 STANDARD DEVIATIONS BELOW NORMAL FOR MON THRU TUE. TEMPS FOR
MON THRU TUE CONTINUE TO TREND SOME 10F TO 25F OR MORE BELOW
NORMAL. BRISK/GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THE
HIGH BUILDING IN WILL ALSO ADD A BITE TO THE AIR ON MONDAY.
GRADIENT RELAXES FOR MON NIGHT/TUE AS THE SFC RIDGE AXIS MOVES
ACROSS MN/IA/WI. WITH LIGHT WINDS/CLEAR SKIES/HIGH OVERHEAD...LOWS
MON NIGHT LOOKING TO DIP INTO THE TEENS/LOWER 20S. RECORD LOWS FOR
APRIL 15 ARE 18 AT KRST AND 17 AT KLSE. WITH THE FASTER EXIT OF
THE COLD TROUGH AND INCREASE OF WESTERLY FLOW...LOWER LEVEL WARM
ADVECTION RETURNS FOR TUE NIGHT. TUE NIGHT LOWS WARMER THAN THOSE
OF MON NIGHT BUT STILL BELOW NORMAL. SIGNAL AMONG MODELS FOR
INCREASING LOWER LEVEL MOISTURE TO RETURN QUICKLY NORTHWARD TUE
NIGHT...BUT WITH GULF OF MEX APPEARING CUT OFF THRU 12Z WED...THIS
LOOKS OVERDONE. HOWEVER...WITH PERSISTENCE OF THE SIGNAL IN GFS
/CAN-GEM WILL HONOR IT WITH A SMALL -SN CHANCE ACROSS MAINLY THE
NORTH HALF OF THE FCST AREA LATE TUE NIGHT. TRENDED TOWARD COLDER
OF GUIDANCE LOWS MON NIGHT. USED A BLEND OF THE GUIDANCE
HIGHS/LOWS FOR MON/TUE/TUE NIGHT.

FOR WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.../DAYS 4 TO 7/...

12.00Z/12.12Z MEDIUM RANGE MODELS IN DECENT AGREEMENT WED WITH THE
MON/TUE COLD TROUGHING LIFTING OUT AND MORE TROUGHING MOVING THRU
THE ROCKIES INTO THE CENTRAL CONUS. IMPROVING AGREEMENT THU AS THE
TROUGHING DEEPENS INTO THE PLAINS. OVERALL TREND WED/THU IS SLOWER/
STRONGER WITH THE MID CONUS TROUGHING HOWEVER STILL PLENTY OF
BETWEEN MODEL DETAIL DIFFERENCES. BETWEEN MODEL AND RUN-TO-RUN
DIFFERENCES INCREASE FOR FRI/SAT AS THE TROUGHING WOULD MOVE INTO/
THRU THE MID/UPPER MS VALLEY...BUT CONSENSUS IS FOR TROUGHING TO
IMPACT THE REGION FOR DAYS 6/7. FCST CONFIDENCE IS BELOW AVERAGE
FOR WED THRU SAT.

TROUGHING MOVING INTO THE PLAINS WED DEVELOPS A LEE LOW IN THE
CENTRAL PLAINS. DIFFERENCES ARE WHERE THE WARM FRONT/TROUGH EAST OF
THIS LOW SETS UP WITH RESPECT TO THE FCST AREA. FURTHER NORTH MEANS
WARMER/LESS PRECIP CHANCES FOR THE AREA WED...FURTHER SOUTH...COOLER
WITH GREATER -RA/-SN CHANCES. GFS SOLUTION CLOSE TO THE MODEL/
ENSEMBLE CONSENSUS FOR NOW ON WED. MID LEVEL TROUGHING AND SFC LOW
PRESSURE/TROUGHING OF ONE FORM OR ANOTHER PROGGED TO IMPACT THE
UPPER MIDWEST MUCH OF THU-SAT...BUT AGAIN PLENTY OF STRENGTH/TIMING
DETAIL DIFFERENCES AMONG THE MODELS. GIVEN BELOW AVERAGE
CONFIDENCE...SIDED WITH THE MODEL/ENSEMBLE CONSENSUS FOR NOW WITH
PRECIP CHANCES IN THE 20-40 PERCENT RANGE MUCH OF THE WED-SAT
PERIOD. TEMPS TO BE WARMER THAN MON/TUE...BUT CONSENSUS WITH BELOW
NORMAL TEMPS THRU THE DAY 4-7 PERIOD LOOK WELL TRENDED FOR NOW WITH
PLENTY OF CLOUDS EXPECTED AND THE POTENTIAL PRECIP. ONE DAY OR TWO
MAY END UP WARMER DEPENDING ON WHICH DETERMINISTIC MODEL/TIMING
MAY BE MORE CORRECT...BUT DIFFICULT TO KNOW AT THIS TIME.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 240 PM CDT SAT APR 12 2014

MVFR TO IFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED AT THE TAF SITES THOUGH MOST OF THE
RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO STAY OFF TO THE SOUTHEAST.
SOME 2-3KFT CEILINGS HAVE SET UP ACROSS THE REGION AND WILL LIKELY
PERSIST THROUGH TONIGHT/TOMORROW MORNING. SOME RAIN COULD GET INTO
LSE THIS EVENING...BUT IS NOT EXPECTED AT RST. WINDS WILL STAY OUT
OF THE EAST-NORTHEAST THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 250 PM CDT SAT APR 12 2014

ANOTHER ROUND OF SHRA/TSRA EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE SOUTH
EAST 1/3 TO 1/2 OF THE FCST AREA THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. IF THESE
DEVELOP AND REPEATEDLY MOVE ACROSS THE SAME AREA...AS MUCH AS 1 TO
2 INCHES OF RAIN COULD FALL. THIS WOULD MAINLY IMPACT PORTIONS OF
NORTHEAST IA AND FAR SOUTHWEST WI. AREA WOULD GET A BREAK FROM THE
RAIN LATER TONIGHT/EARLY SUNDAY. ANOTHER ROUND OF STRONGER/DEEPER
FORCING/LIFT THEN SPREADS ACROSS SOUTHEAST HALF OF THE FCST AREA
SUN AFTERNOON/EVENING...WITH POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER 1 TO 2 INCHES
OF RAIN OVER THE SAME AREAS AS LATER THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. IF
BOTH EVENTS OCCUR...THESE RAINS COULD PRODUCE RISES AND FLOODING
ON AREA RIVERS...LIKE THE UPPER IA AND TURKEY RIVERS IN NORTHEAST
IA AND PLATTE/GRANT RIVERS IN SOUTHWEST WI. WILL ISSUE AN ESF FOR
THE RAIN/FLOODING POTENTIAL...HOLDING OFF ON ANY WATCHES FOR SUN
AFTERNOON/EVENING UNTIL THE OUTCOME OF THIS EVENINGS CONVECTION
IS KNOWN.
