AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
245 PM CDT SAT AUG 18 2007

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY

FORECAST FOCUS IS ON THE EXPECTED RAIN...ALONG WITH HEAVY RAIN AND
THE POSSIBILITY OF FLOODING.

THE 12Z GFS AND NAM ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE PLACEMENT
OF THE WARM FRONT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS...WHICH WILL BE THE
FOCUS FOR WHERE THE PCPN/HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL WILL LIE. THIS
BOUNDARY IS SLATED TO MOVE NORTH TODAY...LAYING UP ROUGHLY FROM NEAR
THE IA/MN BORDER INTO NORTHERN ILL TONIGHT...AND THEN SLOWLY SINKS
BACK INTO CENTRAL IA/CENTRAL ILL BY MONDAY MORNING. APPRECIABLE
FRONTOGENETIC RESPONSE THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE IS INDICATED NORTH OF
THE SFC FRONT...WITH THE CURRENT PCPN LINING UP VERY WELL WITH THE
800:700 MB LAYER. THIS FRONTOGENETIC FORCING DOES SHIFT SOME
NORTH/NORTHEAST TONIGHT...MORE FROM EASTCENTRAL MN INTO CENTRAL WI.
MEANWHILE...THE STRONGEST ISENTROPIC ADVECTION IN THE 850:700 MB
LAYER IS CENTERED MORE ACROSS CENTRAL WI TONIGHT. THE NOSE OF THE
850 MB MOISTURE TRANSPORT ALSO SHIFTS NORTHEAST TONIGHT...MORE
FOCUSED ACROSS NORTHCENTRAL WI..INTO THIS HIGHER THETA-E AIR AND
FRONTOGENETIC LIFT. THE RUC/NAM/LOCAL WRF PLACE THEIR MAIN QPF
WITHIN THIS BETTER FORCING...WHILE THE GFS IS A BIT MORE
SOUTH...MOSTLY ACROSS SOUTHEAST MN/SOUTHERN WI. THIS WOULD SEEM TO
BE AT ODDS WITH WHERE IT PLACES ITS BEST FORCING. BELIEVE THE MAIN
BAND OF RAIN/EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WILL SHIFT A BIT NORTH TONIGHT.
SOUTH OF THERE THOUGH...STILL EXPECT SHOWERS/STORMS TO
DEVELOP...ALTHOUGH MORE CONVECTIVE IN NATURE THAN TO THE NORTH. GOOD
850:700 MB QG CONVERGENCE...THE VICINITY OF THE SFC FRONT...STRONG
LOW LEVEL THERMAL GRADIENT...AND ELEVATED CAPES/S AROUND 750 J/KG
JUST NORTH OF THE SFC FRONT SHOULD HELP IN THAT DEVELOPMENT. SFC
PW/S ARE STILL IN EXCESS OF 2 INCHES...WHICH KEEPS HEAVY RAIN IN THE
PICTURE. HOWEVER...LOCATIONS TO THE NORTH HAVE BEEN MUCH DRIER AND
CAN TAKE A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF RAIN...GENERALLY 3 OR MORE INCHES
IN 1 TO 3 HOURS. SOUTH THOUGH...VALUES GENERALLY RANGE FROM 1-2
INCHES. ANY CONVECTIVE DOWNPOURS COULD PRODUCE 1 TO 2 INCHES PER
HOUR RAIN RATES. SO...WILL EXTEND THE FLASH WATCH THROUGH 4 AM.
WILL NOT ADD OR REMOVE ANY COUNTIES FROM THE WATCH FOR NOW.

ON SUNDAY...A WEAK RIPPLE ALONG THE 500 MB FLOW WILL TRACK EAST
FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS TO ACROSS IA/ILL. THIS WILL WORK WITH THE
PERSISTENT WARM FRONT AND FRONTOGENETIC FORCING TO CONTINUE PRODUCE
RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS...MOSTLY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE SFC FRONT.
THIS WILL PERSIST SUNDAY NIGHT. AGAIN...SFC PW/S AROUND 2 INCHES
WILL CONTINUE THE THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN...AND THE THE CURRENT WATCH
COULD BE EXTENDED...OR PERHAPS A DIFFERENT WATCH WILL BE NEEDED FOR
LATER IN THE DAY SUNDAY...AS A RESULT.

FOR MONDAY...THE SUN NIGHT PCPN SHOULD SHIFT EAST...BUT THAT WARM
FRONT WILL STILL BE TO THE SOUTH...WITH NOW A COLD FRONT APPROACHING
THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THE
CHANCE FOR SHOWERS/STORM DEVELOPMENT AROUND THE WARM FRONT WILL
CONTINUE. MEANWHILE...THE COLD FRONT LOOKS TO MOVE IN ON
TUESDAY...WITH YET MORE SHOWERS AND STORMS PROBABLE.

OVERALL...THE WET AND UNSETTLED PATTERN WILL CONTINUE INTO MON/TUES.
THE MODELS ARE TRENDING TOWARD SIMILAR SOLUTIONS...BUT STILL HAVE
DIFFERENCES IN THEIR QPF. HAVE OPTED TO GO WITH WHERE THE BEST
FORCING LIES RATHER THAN WHERE THE MODELS PAINT THEIR QPF. WHILE THE
POSITIONING OF THE WARM FRONT IS THE FOCUS FOR THE RAIN...VARIOUS
OTHER WEATHER FEATURES //SHORTWAVES...850 MB JET/MOISTURE
TRANSPORT...ETC// WILL PLAY THEIR ROLES...AND MUCK UP THE OVERALL
PICTURE A BIT. THE HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL REMAINS HIGH...AND THE FLASH
FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES AS A RESULT.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY

THE 500 MB FLOW LOOKS TO STAY ZONAL FOR MOST OF NEXT WEEK...AND
FAIRLY ACTIVE...AS THE MODELS ZIP VARIOUS PERTURBATIONS THROUGH THE
MEAN FLOW. THIS WILL RESULT IN CONTINUED PCPN CHANCES FOR MOST OF
NEXT WEEK...ALTHOUGH THE TIMING ON WHEN THE BEST CHANCES WILL BE IS
DIFFICULT IN A PATTERN SUCH AS THIS. WILL CONTINUE TO PAINT THE POPS
WITH BROAD STROKES...AVOIDING TOO MUCH REFINEMENT UNTIL CONFIDENCE
IN THE TIMING/STRENGTH/PLACEMENT OF THE VARIOUS SHORTWAVES AND/OR
SFC BOUNDARIES INCREASES.

&&

.AVIATION...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE WAS FAIRLY HIGH THAT PERIODS OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO AFFECT THE AREA THROUGH TONIGHT
INTO SUNDAY. THIS WAS BASED ON MOIST SOUTHERLY FLOW IMPINGING ON
SURFACE AND 850MB FRONT...ALONG WITH PARADE OF UPPER LEVEL
DISTURBANCES INTERACTING WITH THE FRONT. AS A RESULT...IFR AND/OR
MVFR ARE EXPECTED TO BE THE PREDOMINANT CONDITIONS AT BOTH LSE AND
RST TAF SITES.

330 PM CDT SAT AUG 18 2007

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PARTS OF NORTHEAST IOWA...
SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA...AND SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH TONIGHT. ABUNDANT
MOISTURE CONTINUES TO BE PULLED NORTHWARD...AHEAD OF LOW PRESSURE AND
AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE IN SOUTH DAKOTA AND A FRONT LIFTING NORTH
ACROSS IOWA. AS A RESULT...THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS ARE CERTAINLY POSSIBLE.
THESE RAINS COULD CAUSE FLOODING PROBLEMS IF THEY FALL ON URBAN AREAS
OR ACROSS LOCATIONS THAT HAVE HAD SIGNIFICANT RAIN DURING THE PAST
WEEK. DUE TO LIMITED INSTABILITY TONIGHT...ANY THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT
EXPECTED TO BE SEVERE.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL KEEP THE AREA UNDER THE GUN FOR
SEVERAL ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT
WEEK. UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES CROSSING THE REGION...ALONG WITH
CONTINUED MOISTURE RETURN INTO AND OVER A STATIONARY FRONTAL
BOUNDARY ACROSS IOWA...WILL BRING THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TO THE AREA
FOR MUCH OF THE SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY PERIOD.

THE GREATEST THREAT FROM THESE THUNDERSTORMS LOOKS TO BE REPEATED
ROUNDS OF HEAVY RAINS. THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE QUITE MOIST...AND ANY
STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP SHOULD BE VERY GOOD RAIN PRODUCERS. REPEATED
BOUTS OF HEAVY RAINFALL WOULD LEAD TO CONTINUED FLOODING CONCERNS
ACROSS THE AREA. THE FRONT WILL BE CLOSER TO THE AREA SUNDAY AND
MONDAY. THE AIRMASS SOUTH OF THE FRONT EXPECTED TO BE QUITE UNSTABLE.
THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE OF SEVERE STORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING HOURS OF SUNDAY AND MONDAY...MAINLY SOUTH OF AN AUSTIN
MINNESOTA TO RICHLAND CENTER WISCONSIN LINE. THE SEVERE THREATS WOULD
BE LARGE HAIL AND STRONG WINDS.

FOR TUESDAY AND BEYOND...IT IS TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE THE TIMING AND
DETAILS OF ANY SEVERE STORM THREATS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED TONIGHT. HOWEVER...SPOTTER
ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED SUNDAY AND OR MONDAY. RAINFALL REPORTS...
ALONG WITH REPORTS OF HEAVY RAIN...HIGH WATER OR FLOODING WOULD BE
GREATLY APPRECIATED.

.EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATION...

NO CALL IS SCHEDULED.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PARTS OF SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA
AND WESTERN INTO CENTRAL WISCONSIN.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

ABUNDANT MOISTURE CONTINUES TO BE PULLED NORTHWARD...AHEAD OF LOW
PRESSURE AND AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE IN SOUTH DAKOTA AND A FRONT
LIFTING NORTHWARD ACROSS IOWA. A FEW THUNDERSTORMS COULD PRODUCE
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS...BUT WITH GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS ACROSS THE
AREA...FLOODING PROBLEMS ARE NOT ANTICIPATED. DUE TO LIMITED
INSTABILITY TONIGHT...ANY THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE
SEVERE.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

AN ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN WILL KEEP THE AREA UNDER THE GUN FOR
SEVERAL ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT
WEEK. UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES CROSSING THE REGION...ALONG WITH
CONTINUED MOISTURE RETURN INTO AND OVER A STATIONARY FRONTAL
BOUNDARY ACROSS IOWA...WILL BRING THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TO THE AREA

ROUNDS OF HEAVY RAINS. THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE QUITE MOIST...AND ANY
STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP SHOULD BE VERY GOOD RAIN PRODUCERS. REPEATED
BOUTS OF HEAVY RAINFALL COULD LEAD TO AN INCREASED FLOODING THREAT
ACROSS THE AREA INTO NEXT WEEK. WITH THE FRONT AND MORE UNSTABLE
AIRMASS EXPECTED TO BE WELL SOUTH OF THE AREA ACROSS IOWA...ANY
THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY AND MONDAY ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BECOME SEVERE.

FOR TUESDAY AND BEYOND...IT IS TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE THE TIMING AND
DETAILS OF ANY SEVERE STORM THREATS.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED TONIGHT OR SUNDAY. HOWEVER...ANY
HEAVY RAINFALL REPORTS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
