NWS La Crosse, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at May 10, 7:34 PM CST, 1 hour 26 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI 834 PM CDT SAT MAY 10 2014 .UPDATE... ISSUED AT 834 PM CDT SAT MAY 10 2014 MAIN BAND OF RAIN IS ENTERING EASTERN MINNESOTA AND IOWA ALONG THE LEAD MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH THAT RUNS FROM SOUTHEAST NORTH DAKOTA THROUGH SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA. THE 11.00Z RAP CONTINUES TO SHOW A WEAKENING TREND IN INSTABILITY...BUT STILL HAS SOME FEEDING INTO THE BACK EDGE OF THE SHORT WAVE TO WARRANT KEEPING A MENTION OF THUNDER IN THROUGH THIS EVENING. HAVE SPED UP THE END TIME OF THIS RAIN BASED ON CURRENT EXTRAPOLATION AND THE PAST FEW RUNS OF THE HRRR WHICH HAS HAD A GOOD HANDLE ON THIS CONVECTION. WHILE 0-6KM WIND SHEAR IS DECENT...IT IS ALL IN THE LOW LEVELS AND NOT IN THE LAYER WHERE THIS VERY SKINNY/WEAK INSTABILITY IS IN THE MID LEVELS. THUS...AM NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING SEVERE THIS EVENING. HAVE NOT MADE ANY CHANGES TO THE FORECAST FOR TOMORROW...BUT AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED...IT WILL ALL DEPEND ON HOW FAR NORTH THE WARM FRONT MAKES IT. ONE THING APPEARS CERTAIN AND THAT IS THE INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TRANSPORT THROUGH THE DAY AND INTO THE NIGHT WHICH MAY LEAD TO SOME FLOODING ISSUES IF STORMS TRAIN TO THE NORTH OF THE FRONT. WILL HAVE TO SEE HOW THE 11.00Z MODELS COME UP BEFORE MAKING ANY WHOLESALE CHANGES TO THE FORECAST. && .SHORT TERM...(TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT) ISSUED AT 310 PM CDT SAT MAY 10 2014 MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS THIS PERIOD...SHRA/TSRA CHANCES THIS EVENING AND AGAIN SUN AFTERNOON/NIGHT. POTENTIAL HEAVY RAINS SUN NIGHT. 18Z DATA ANALYSIS HAD A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE FROM NORTHEAST MN THRU SOUTHEAST WI. SUNNY...QUIET DAY OVER THE NORTHEAST HALF OF THE REGION. WV IMAGERY SHOWED A MORE ROBUST LOOKING SHORTWAVE LIFTING NORTHEAST ACROSS SD/NEB EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WAVE AND SOME 850-700MB MOISTURE TRANSPORT/THERMO-DYNAMIC FORCING RESPONSIBLE FOR A BROAD BAND OF SCT SHRA/ISOLATED TSRA LIFTING ACROSS NORTHERN IA/SOUTHWEST MN. PER 10.12Z KMPX SOUNDING...PLENTY OF DRY AIR ABOVE 850MB AHEAD OF THIS BAND OF SHRA/TSRA TO OVERCOME BEFORE PRECIP REACHES THE GROUND...AND MOST RAIN AMOUNTS SO FAR TODAY HAVE BEEN A TRACE TO A FEW HUNDREDTHS OF AN INCH. 10.12Z MODELS INITIALIZED WELL...BUT FOR GFS ABOUT 5F HIGH ON SFC DEW POINTS ACROSS THE SOUTH HALF OF THE UPPER MS VALLEY. SOLUTIONS CONTINUE TO OFFER A TIGHTER CONSENSUS ON THE SHORTWAVE TO LIFT ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST TONIGHT AND THE NEXT STRONG TROUGHING/ ENERGY TO CROSS THE ROCKIES SUN/SUN NIGHT. SLOWER/STRONGER ECMWF/ CAN-GEM OFFERING THE BETTER RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY WITH THE ROCKIES TROUGHING LATE SUN/SUN NIGHT WITH GFS/NAM SLOWING TO MATCH UP. NAM APPEARS AS BIT OF AN OUTLIER AT 12Z MON WITH A FURTHER NORTH/EAST SFC LOW/TRAILING COLD FRONT AND ITS SOLUTION GENERALLY DISCOUNTED. GIVEN THE NOW RATHER TIGHT NON- NAM CONSENSUS THRU 12Z MON...SHORT- TERM FCST CONFIDENCE FOR A RATHER ACTIVE PERIOD IS GOOD THIS CYCLE. FIRST SHORTWAVE CROSSING THE UPPER MIDWEST TONIGHT WEAKENS AS LOOSES THE BATTLE WITH THE RISING HGTS/RIDGING AHEAD OF THE STRONGER TROUGHING DIGGING INTO THE ROCKIES. 925-700MB MOISTURE TRANSPORT/ WARM ADVECTION AND SOME 295-305K ISENTROPIC LIFT STILL SPREADS NORTHEAST ACROSS THE FCST AREA MAINLY LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING... WITH STEEPER MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND WEAK INSTABILITY. WILL CONTINUE SHRA/TSRA CHANCES THRU THE EVENING...IN THE 20-50 PERCENT RANGE...THEN TAPER/END THEM AFTER MIDNIGHT AS THE LOWER LEVEL FORCING WEAKENS/MOVES EAST OF THE FCST AREA. MOST RAIN AMOUNTS TONIGHT TO BE QUITE LIGHT. BREAK FROM THE RAIN CHANCES LATE TONIGHT/SUN MORNING AS SOME 850- 700MB DRYING TEMPORARILY SPREADS ACROSS THE AREA. MOISTURE RETURN AHEAD OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS LEE LOW ALREADY SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA SUN MORNING...WITH THE 700MB MOISTURE ARRIVING DURING THE LATER MORNING/EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS AND 925-50MB MOISTURE ARRIVING DURING THE AFTERNOON. PW VALUES OF AROUND 1.5 INCHES TO SPREAD NORTH ACROSS THE AREA FOR SUN AFTERNOON/NIGHT. QUESTION NO LONGER SEEMS IF ITS GOING TO RAIN LATE SUN AFTERNOON/NIGHT BUT HOW MUCH. BROAD/DEEP LAYERED FORCING/LIFT AHEAD OF THE SFC THRU MID LEVEL TROUGH SPREADS ACROSS WITH THE MOISTURE INCREASE SUN AFTERNOON/NIGHT. AT 00Z MON...MODEL SOUNDINGS SHOWING STABILITY/CIN OF 50-150IN THE SFC-700MB LAYER WITH MUCAPES OF 500-1500 J/KG OVER MAINLY THE SOUTH 1/3 OF THE FCST AREA. LFC AROUND 700MB IN THE SOUNDINGS WITH THE CIN IN A RATHER DEEP 900-700MB LAYER. CAPE PROFILE IS DEEP...BUT SKINNY. WITH WARM CLOUD DEPTH OF AROUND 3500 METERS...THE SKINNY CAPE OF 500- 1500 J/KG DOES NOT SEEM LIKE ENOUGH FOR A BIG HAIL THREAT. WITH THE AREA LOOKING TO BE NORTH OF THE WARM FRONT SUN EVENING AND THE CIN BELOW 700MB...APPEARS MAIN TORNADO AND STRONG WIND THREAT WOULD BE SOUTH OF THE FCST AREA. ALSO...NUMEROUS SHRA/TSRA EXPECTED TO BE SPREADING INTO/ACROSS THE AREA SUN AFTERNOON/ EVENING...ALL COMPETING FOR THE SAME CAPE/SHEAR...WILL REDUCE THE SEVERE THREAT FROM ANY ONE TSRA. CONCERNS AS WELL ON SUN WITH HIGH TEMPS BEING TOO WARM AND CAPE ON THE HIGH SIDE GIVEN THICKENING CLOUDS/SHRA/TSRA SPREADING NORTH INTO THE AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE 3500 METER WARM CLOUD DEPTH...A WARM FRONT TO THE SOUTH FOR LIFTING...PW VALUES NEAR 200 PERCENT OF NORMAL AND A FEED OF THIS MOISTURE ON A 40-50KT 850MB JET SUN NIGHT ALL POINT TSRA BEING EFFICIENT RAIN MAKERS AND A HEAVY RAIN THREAT. CONSIDERED A FLOOD WATCH FOR SUN NIGHT/MON...BUT IT WOULD HAVE AND TO BE RATHER BROAD WITH QPF DETAIL DIFFERENCES AMONG THE MODELS. WILL ISSUE AND ESF FOR NOW AND PASS ALONG CONCERNS TO THE MIDNIGHT CREW. .LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY) ISSUED AT 310 PM CDT SAT MAY 10 2014 MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS MON THRU TUE NIGHT...SHRA/TSRA CHANCES/RAIN AMOUNTS MON INTO MON NIGHT...COOLING TEMPERATURES. MODEL RUNS OF 10.12Z OFFERING A TIGHTER CONSENSUS MON/MON NIGHT AS THE MID LEVEL TROUGH LIFTS INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST AND THE SFC LOW LIFTS TO LK SUPERIOR. TREND IS TOWARD COMPROMISE OF THE EARLIER RUNS ON STRENGTH/TIMING OF THE MID LEVEL TROUGH INTO THE REGION WITH SOMEWHAT BETTER RUN-TO-RUN CONSISTENCY BY THE ECMWF. IMPROVING CONSENSUS TUE/TUE NIGHT AS THE TROUGH VIRTUALLY STALLS OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS. FCST CONFIDENCE IN THE MON-TUE NIGHT PERIOD IS AVERAGE TO GOOD THIS CYCLE. BROAD/DEEP FORCING/LIFT CONTINUES OVER THE AREA MON...ALONG WITH A FEED OF THE 1.5 INCH PW VALUES ON A 30-40KT 850MB JET. STRONGEST OF THIS IS OVER THE FCST AREA IN THE MORNING...GRADUALLY TRANSLATING EAST MON AFTERNOON/EVENING AS THE SFC THRU 850MB COLD FRONT/TROUGH MOVE EAST INTO/ACROSS THE AREA. PLENTY OF FORCING/LIFT REMAINS OVER THE WEST SIDE OF THE FCST AREA MON AFTERNOON/EVENING...WITH THE 700- 500MB TROUGH AXIS STILL WEST OF THE AREA AND SHORTWAVES LIFT UP THE EAST SIDE OF THE TROUGH THRU WESTERN MN. HEAVIEST RAIN THREAT SHIFTS EAST OF THE AREA THRU MON AFTERNOON/EVENING...BUT SHRA/TSRA LOOK TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE ENTIRE FCST AREA MON AFTERNOON. AFTER A POSSIBLE 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN SUN NIGHT...ANOTHER 1/4 TO 3/4 INCH OF RAIN POSSIBLE MONDAY. SHRA/TSRA THEN TAPER OFF AND EXIT EAST THRU MON NIGHT/TUE MORNING AS THE SFC-850MB TROUGH/FRONT MOVE EAST OF THE AREA. CONCERNS WITH THE SEVERE THREAT DEPICTED IN DAY 3 SIMILAR TO THOSE CENTERED ON SUN EVENING. SHRA/TSRA SHOULD BE ONGOING ACROSS MUCH OF THE UPPER MIDWEST MON MORNING...AND CONTINUE MUCH OF THE DAY. DEBRIS CLOUDS AND THE RAIN SHOULD LIMIT HIGH TEMPS AND POTENTIAL FOR CAPE TO BUILD ACROSS THE AREA. USED THE MODEL/ENSEMBLE CONSENSUS HIGHS FOR MON BUT IF CLOUDS/SHRA/TSRA PREVAIL...THESE ARE LIKELY TOO WARM RESULTING IN TOO MUCH CAPE IN THE PROGS. MON CAPE PROFILES ALSO DEEP AND SKINNY SIMILAR TO SUN EVENING. NUMEROUS SHRA/TSRA ALL COMPETING FOR THE SAME CAPE/SHEAR WILL AGAIN LIMIT THE SEVERE POTENTIAL WITH ANY ONE STORM. DRIER/COOLER 925-700MB AIR WRAPS ACROSS THE AREA FOR TUE AFTERNOON/ NIGHT FOR WHAT SHOULD BE DRY PERIODS AND A DECREASE OF CLOUDS. 850MB TEMPS IN THE +2C TO -1C RANGE BY 12Z WED. THIS PLUS LIGHT WINDS AND MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES TUE NIGHT...LOWS IN THE UPPER 30S-LOW 40S WED MORNING APPEAR REASONABLE. FOR WEDNESDAY THRU SATURDAY.../DAYS 4 TO 7/... MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS THIS PERIOD...COOL TEMPERATURES AND -SHRA CHANCES THRU THE PERIOD. MEDIUM RANGE MODEL RUNS OF 10.00Z/10.12Z HAVE COME INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WED/THU ON LOCATION/STRENGTH OF THE TROUGHING TO SLOWLY MOVE ACROSS CENTRAL NOAM. MODELS CONVERGING TOWARD THE EARLIER ECMWF RUNS. IMPROVING CONSENSUS FOR SOME NORTHERN STREAM ENERGY TO DROP INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST THU/FRI...FURTHER DEEPENING THE TROUGH AND CARVING OUT A MID LEVEL OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES FOR FRI INTO SAT. GIVEN THE IMPROVED MEDIUM RANGE MODEL CONSENSUS...DAY 4-7 FCST CONFIDENCE IS GENERALLY GOOD THIS CYCLE...ESPECIALLY FOR BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES. ONE SURGE OF COLDER LOW LEVEL HAS ALREADY SETTLED OVER THE REGION BY WED. A SECONDARY...EVEN COLDER SURGE IS POISED TO DROP SOUTH INTO THE REGION FOR THU/FRI. 850MB TEMPS PROGGED TO BOTTOM OUT IN THE -1C TO -3C RANGE AT 12Z FRI. SOME TEMP RECOVERY SAT AS WARMER AIR ACTUALLY WRAPS IN FROM THE NORTH. SIGNAL REMAINS CONSISTENT FOR 850MB TEMPS TO BE SOME 1.5 TO 2 STANDARD DEVIATIONS BELOW NORMAL ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST FOR MOST OF THE WE-SAT PERIOD. CONFIDENCE IS GOOD FOR DAY 4-7 HIGHS TO BE SOME 10-15F BELOW NORMAL. LOWS THRU THE PERIOD A LITTLE TRICKER AND DEPENDENT ON EXTENT OF CLOUD COVER ANY ONE NIGHT. WITH MODEST 925-700MB MOISTURE AND THE DEEP COLD CORE TROUGH/LOW AND CYCLONIC FLOW OVER THE REGION...CLOUDS EXPECTED TO PREVAIL MUCH OF THE WED-SAT PERIOD. IF ANY ONE OF THE NIGHTS ENDS UP MORE CLEAR THAN CLOUDY...PATCHY FROST WOULD BE EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY ALONG/NORTHEAST OF I-94 THU/FRI NIGHTS. FOR NOW THE MODEL/ENSEMBLE CONSENSUS HIGHS/LOWS FOR WED- SAT ARE WELL TRENDED. LESS CONFIDENCE ON -SHRA CHANCES IN THE WED-SAT PERIOD AS THESE CHANCES WILL DEPEND ON THE TIMING OF STRONGER SHORTWAVES THRU THE PERSISTENT TROUGHING OVER THE REGION. PRESENT TIMING HAS ONE STRONGER SHORTWAVE DROPPING INTO THE REGION WED THEN MORE SHORTWAVE ENERGY ROTATING AROUND THE DEEP TROUGH/MID LEVEL LOW OVER THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES FRI/SAT. WITH THE DEEP CYCLONIC FLOW...COLD CORE OF 850-700MB TEMPS OVER THE REGION...STEEP SFC- 700MB LAPSE...RATES/WEAK INSTABILITY DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS...ANY SHORTWAVE WOULD BE CAPABLE OF TRIGGERING SCT -SHRA. SMALL -SHRA CHANCES MUCH OF THE WED-SAT PERIOD STILL LOOK REASONABLE UNTIL THE SHORTWAVE TIMING DETAILS CAN BE SORTED OUT. ANY PRECIP DURING THE WED-SAT WOULD BE SCT AND LIGHT. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY EVENING) ISSUED AT 632 PM CDT SAT MAY 10 2014 THE MAIN FOCUS AT THE TAF SITES IS WITH THE NEXT ROUND OF RAIN AND POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH THIS EVENING. CONDITIONS ARE VFR THROUGHOUT THE REGION...THOUGH SOME BRIEF DROPS TO MVFR ARE POSSIBLE IF ANY THUNDERSTORMS DO MANAGE TO MAKE IT INTO RST OR LSE. CONDITIONS APPEAR TO BECOME LESS FAVORABLE AS THE NIGHT GOES ON...SO HAVE ONLY INCLUDED VCTS IN THE CURRENT TAFS AS CONFIDENCE IS NOT VERY HIGH THAT ANY STORMS WILL MAKE IT INTO RST OR LSE. ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS WILL MOVE IN TOMORROW...BUT THAT WILL LIKELY NOT BE UNTIL THE EVENING HOURS. CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN VFR BETWEEN THESE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS/STORMS. && .HYDROLOGY... ISSUED AT 310 PM CDT SAT MAY 10 2014 MINOR FLOODING/HIGH WATER CONTINUES ALONG PORTIONS OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. LATER SUN AFTERNOON INTO MON EVENING WILL BE A WET PERIOD...WITH POTENTIAL FOR 1 TO 2 OR MORE INCHES OF RAINFALL DURING THAT PERIOD. THE HEAVIEST RAIN/HIGHEST TOTALS WILL FALL SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. THESE RAINS COULD HAVE ADDITIONAL IMPACTS ON BOTH TRIBUTARIES AND THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER...SLOWING THE RATES OF FALL...PRODUCE ADDITIONAL RISES OR RENEWED FLOODING. WILL ISSUE AN ESF CONCERNING THE POTENTIAL HEAVY RAINS SUN NIGHT/MON AND RISING RIVER LEVELS/FLOODING THREAT.
