Area forecast discussion, Jun 29, 2:53 PM CDT, 8 hours 41 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
253 PM CDT WED JUN 29 2005

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY

MAIN FORECAST CONCERN IS SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL FOR THIS EVENING
AND INTO TONIGHT.

LATEST WATER VAPOR SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES TWO SHORTWAVES
TROUGHS OVER SOUTH DAKOTA AND WESTERN IOWA. LATEST RADAR MOSAIC
INDICATES LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDING FROM CENTRAL
MINNESOTA TO EASTERN IOWA. THIS IS RESPONSE TO LAPS 850MB MOISTURE
TRANSPORT VECTORS. LATEST 18Z SURFACE ANALYSIS INDICATES SURFACE LOW
OVER EASTERN DAKOTAS WITH WARM FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHEAST INTO EASTERN
IOWA AND WESTERN ILLINOIS. COLD FRONT EXTENDS SOUTH FROM LOW INTO
CENTRAL KANSAS.

BOTH THE 12Z GFS AND NAM IN GOOD AGREEMENT IN BUILDING UPPER
LEVEL RIDGE INTO FORECAST AREA FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. 12Z GFS HAS A
SLIGHTLY BETTER HANDLE ON CURRENT UPPER LEVEL FEATURES PER LATEST
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY. BOTH NAM AND GFS HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON CURRENT
SURFACE FEATURES AND MOISTURE LEVELS PER LATEST VISIBLE SATELLITE
IMAGERY. WILL TAKE A BLEND THROUGH FORECAST PERIOD.

SURFACE LOW AND ASSOCIATED FRONTS WILL TRACK EAST ACROSS FORECAST
AREA THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT. GOOD INSTABILITY OUT AHEAD OF SURFACE
FRONTS WITH RUC40 INDICATING SURFACE BASE CAPE OF 3000-3500 J/KG
ACROSS FORECAST AREA BY 03Z. RUC40 INDICATING 0-6KM SHEAR OF 40-45
KNOTS THIS EVENING AND 0-3KM SHEAR OF 30-35 KNOTS ACROSS FORECAST
AREA. FEEL SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG WARM FRONT LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS FORECAST AREA. RUC40 INDICATES 0-
1KM SHEAR OF 35 KNOTS ACROSS FORECAST AREA BY 03Z AND 0-1KM STORM
RELATIVE HELICITY OF 250-325 M2/S2. THINKING BEST TORNADO THREAT
WILL BE ALONG WARM FRONT AND THROUGH THIS EVENING. COLD FRONT OVER
EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA WILL TRACK EAST INTO FORECAST AREA BY 06Z.
EXPECT ANOTHER LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO FORM ALONG COLD
FRONT. LINE WILL BECOME LINEAR ALONG FRONT...WITH MAIN THREAT TO BE
DAMAGING WINDS. NAM INDICATES 3-6KM SHEAR TO BE LESS THAN 5 KNOTS
AND 700-500MB DEWPOINT DEPRESSION OF 16 DEGREES CELSIUS BY 6Z ACROSS
FORECAST AREA. WILL CONTINUE WITH OCCASIONAL SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS...AND SEVERE WORDING IN GRIDS FOR THIS EVENING AND
TONIGHT.

COLD FRONT TRACKS EAST INTO EASTERN WISCONSIN BY 18Z THURSDAY. UPPER
LEVEL AND SURFACE LOW TRACKS ALONG THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER. THIS
ALLOWS FOR COLD POOL TO BE OVER NORTHERN PARTS OF FORECAST AREA
DURING THE DAY THURSDAY. BOTH 12Z GFS AND NAM INDICATE TQ INDEX OF
15 OR GREATER OVER NORTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN BY 00Z FRIDAY. WILL
CONTINUE WITH PREVIOUS FORECAST OF SMALL CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION
OVER NORTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN. BOTH MODELS DO INDICATE GOOD COLD AIR
ADVECTION BEHIND COLD FRONT...WITH NAM INDICATING 850MB TEMPERATURES
OF AROUND PLUS TWELVE DEGREES ACROSS FORECAST AREA BY 00Z FRIDAY.

SURFACE RIDGE BUILDS INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION BY 00Z SATURDAY.
COLDER AIR CONTINUES TO FILTER INTO FORECAST AREA THURSDAY NIGHT AND
INTO FRIDAY...WITH NAM INDICATING 850MB TEMPERATURES OF 6 TO 10
DEGREES CELSIUS OVER FORECAST AREA FRIDAY. TRENDED FOR COOLER
TEMPERATURES FRIDAY.

UPPER MIDWEST AND GREAT LAKES REGION UNDER SOUTHERLY FLOW BY 18Z
SATURDAY. BOTH NAM AND GFS INDICATING GOOD 850MB MOISTURE
TRANSPORT VECTORS INTO WESTERN FORECAST AREA BY 18Z SATURDAY. WILL
CONTINUE WITH PREVIOUS FORECAST OF SMALL CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION IN
WESTERN FORECAST AREA.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY

MAIN CONCERN THROUGH FORECAST PERIOD IS PRECIPITATION CHANCES. BOTH
THE 00Z GFS AND ECMWF IN AGREEMENT IN DEVELOPING UPPER LEVEL ZONAL
FLOW ACROSS THE CONTINENTAL U.S. THROUGH PERIOD. BIGGEST DIFFERENCES
IN MODELS ARE THE TIMING AND STRENGTH OF SHORTWAVE TROUGHS EMBEDDED
IN ZONAL FLOW. DUE TO THE INCONSISTENCIES IN TIMING AND STRENGTH OF
SHORTWAVE TROUGHS OF MODELS...WILL CONTINUE WITH THE PREVIOUS
FORECAST OF PRECIPITATION CHANCES THROUGH PERIOD. FORECAST
CONFIDENCE IS MODERATE. TEMPERATURES WILL BE MORE SEASONABLE NEXT
WEEK...AS BOTH THE 00Z GFS AND ECMWF INDICATE 850MB TEMPERATURES 15
TO 18 DEGREES CELSIUS ACROSS FORECAST AREA.
