AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
741 PM CDT TUE AUG 21 2007

.UPDATE...
OBVIOUS CONCERN IN FORECAST TONIGHT IS HEAVY RAIN/FLASH
FLOOD/RIVER FLOOD THREAT. LAST 90 MINS HAS BROUGHT EXPLOSIVE
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT ACROSS NERN NEB INTO NWRN IA IN VERY
DIFFLUENT MID/UPPER LEVEL FLOW ON THE SRN FRINGE OF STRONG WLY
MID/UPPER LEVEL JETLET. RUC/WRF/GFS INDICATING LOW LEVEL JET TO
CONTINUE TO INCREASE FROM 25-30KTS NOW ACROSS KS/NEB/IA INTO
30-35KT RANGE AS WEAK IMPULSE AND MID LEVEL WIND MAXIMUM PASSES
THROUGH THE REGION OVERNIGHT. INTENSE BAND OF IA CONVECTION SHOULD
CONTINUE TO SPREAD EAST/NORTHEAST IN DIFFLUENT FLOW...MOVING MORE
EASTERLY WITH TIME GIVEN VEERING OF THE MID LEVEL FLOW THROUGH THE
NIGHT AND PER CURRENT WDLM5 /WOOD LAKE/ AND BLRW3 /BLUE RIVER/
PROFILERS. ONCE MCS MATURES OVER NRN IA INTO WRN ARX FORECAST
AREA...SHOULD BEGIN TO FOCUS MORE ON NORTHEAST IOWA AN FAR
SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN AS MESO BETA ELEMENTS /CORFIDI TECHNIQUE/
SUGGEST MCS WILL BUILD SOUTHWARD INTO GREATER INSTABILITY FEED.

BOTTOM LINE...GOING FCST ON TRACK WITH FLASH FLOOD WATCH AND RAIN
CHANCES. SEE PRIMARY HEAVY RAIN THREAT ACROSS FROM OSAGE/CHARLES
CITY AREA EAST-NORTHEAST TO AREAS VERY NEAR/JUST SOUTH OF LA
CROSSE TO MAUSTON. CAN SEE 1 TO 2 INCHES WIDESPREAD THROUGH THE
NIGHT...AND MAY SEE SOME LOCAL 3+ INCH AMOUNTS WHERE THE GREATEST
REGENERATIVE/BACKBUILDING OCCURS. RIGHT NOW EXPECT THIS IN FAR WRN
PORTIONS OF ARX FORECAST AREA. WILL MONITOR BACKBUILDING POTENTIAL
CLOSELY...BUT FEEL THIS MORE LIKELY TO OUR WEST/SOUTHWEST.

GIVEN PAST WEEKEND/S HISTORIC RAINFALL...ALL PERSONS ARE URGED TO
MONITOR THEIR FAVORITE WEATHER SOURCE IN CASE FLASH FLOODING
DEVELOPS AND WARNINGS ARE ISSUED.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 355 PM CDT TUE AUG 21 2007/

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT

THE POTENTIAL OF FLOODING THROUGHOUT THIS TIME PERIOD CONTINUES TO
BE MAIN CONCERN.

AT 3 PM...A WARM FRONT EXTENDED FROM ONEAL NEBRASKA TO MOLINE
ILLINOIS. TEMPERATURES SOUTH OF THIS FRONT WERE IN THE 90S.
A 25 TO 30 KNOT 850 MB JET WAS PRODUCING JUST ENOUGH MOISTURE
CONVERGENCE FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS TO DEVELOP ACROSS NORTHWEST
IOWA. MEANWHILE A STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDED FROM SIOUX FALLS SOUTH
DAKOTA TO IRONWOOD MICHIGAN. SHOWERS WERE ALSO DEVELOPING ALONG
THIS FRONT.

THE MODELS ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT THAT A MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE
COMPLEX WILL DEVELOP AT THE NOSE OF THE 850 MB JET THIS
EVENING. AS THE JET VEERS TONIGHT...THIS COMPLEX WILL MOVE THROUGH
THE AREA TONIGHT AND EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. AT THIS TIME...IT
LOOKS LIKE THIS WILL BE A PROGRESSIVE SYSTEM. THE HEAVIEST RAIN AT
THIS TIME LOOKS TO BE ACROSS NORTHEAST IOWA AND SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN.
THIS AREA MAY SEE BETWEEN 1 AND 2 INCHES. HOWEVER IF THIS SYSTEM
ENDS UP DEVELOPING A BIT FURTHER NORTH THIS EVENING...THIS BAND
MAY TRACK ACROSS SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA...AND WEST CENTRAL AND
CENTRAL WISCONSIN. THE 0-6 KM SHEAR START OUT ABOVE 50 KNOTS THIS
EVENING...AND SLOWLY DECREASES DURING THE OVERNIGHT. WITH MUCH OF
THE EVENING DEVELOPMENT BEING TO OUR WEST...I WOULD EXPECT THE
GREATER CHANCE TO BE TO OUR WEST TONIGHT.

ON WEDNESDAY MORNING...THE COMPLEX WILL BE MOVING OUT OF SOUTHWEST AND
CENTRAL WISCONSIN. AS RESULT...I KEPT HIGHER PRECIPITATION
CHANCES IN THESE AREAS. DURING THE AFTERNOON...IT APPEARS THAT THE
850 MB MOISTURE TRANSPORT WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE ACROSS WESTERN
IOWA AND SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA. THIS WILL LIKELY RESULT IN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. SOME OF THIS PRECIPITATION
MAY SPREAD EAST INTO SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA AND NORTHEAST IOWA. AS A RESULT...
I WENT WITH SOME HIGHER PRECIPITATION PROBABILITIES IN THAT AREA.

ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT...A 35 TO 40 KNOT 850 MB JET WILL BE MOVING
NORTHWARD INTO THE BOUNDARY LOCATED ACROSS THE AREA. IT AGAIN
LOOKS LIKE WE WILL SEE ANOTHER GOOD CHANCE OF HEAVY RAIN. HOWEVER
THE EXACT LOCATIONS IS STILL NOT CLEAR. WE WILL LIKELY NEED ANOTHER
FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE SAME AREAS AS TONIGHT FROM WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING.

LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THAT THE FRONT
RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF PRECIPITATION WILL SHIFT FAR ENOUGH
SOUTH THAT WE MAY HAVE A MAINLY DRY WEEKEND. HOWEVER WITH THE
ATMOSPHERIC ANGULAR MOMENTUM REMAINING NEARLY 3 STANDARD
DEVIATIONS BELOW NORMAL...THERE WILL BE VERY LITTLE IMPETUS
FOR A LARGE ENOUGH PATTERN CHANGE NEEDED FOR AN EXTENDED
PERIOD OF DRYNESS. WITH WARM AIR ADVECTION AHEAD OF AN
APPROACHING COLD FRONT...IT LOOKS LIKE WE WILL SEE A RETURN
OF A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS SOON AS SUNDAY
NIGHT. THE MODELS CONTNIUE TO SHOW THAT THIS FRONT WILL MOVE
SLOWLY EAST THROUGH THE REGION. AS A RESULT...I KEPT A CHANCE
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH AT LEAST TUESDAY OF NEXT
WEEK.

AVIATION...TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY MORNING

WITH WARM FRONT TO THE SOUTH...LOW CEILINGS HAVE CONTINUED TO
DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA WITH SUCH LOW LEVEL SATURATION. SOME
IMPROVEMENT EXPECTED HEADED INTO THE EVENING HOURS...BUT MAIN STORY
MAY BE THE EXPECTED CONVECTION THAT WILL MOVE IN FROM THE WEST.
TRIED TO FIND A MORE FAVORABLE TIME WINDOW FOR LOWEST VISIBILITIES
AND CEILINGS WITH THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY...MAINLY FROM 04Z TO 08Z BUT
POST STORM CONDITIONS SHOULD BE IFR INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING.

ARX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WI...FLASH FLOOD WATCH FROM 7 PM CDT THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY
     MORNING FOR WIZ041-WIZ053-WIZ054-WIZ055-WIZ061.

     MORNING FOR MNZ086-MNZ087-MNZ088-MNZ094-MNZ095-MNZ096.

SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA AND SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT FOR TONIGHT. STRONG THUNDERSTORMS
WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT WITH MORE HEAVY RAIN AND A
CONTINUED THREAT FOR FLOODING AND FLASH FLOODING. RAINFALL AMOUNTS
FROM 1 TO AS MUCH AS 3 INCHES ARE EXPECTED...AND IF RAINFALL RATES
ARE HIGH ENOUGH...FLASH FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE IN ALREADY FLOOD
RAVAGED AREAS. A FEW LOCALIZED AMOUNTS EXCEEDING 3 INCHES WILL BE
POSSIBLE WHERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE REPETITIVE OVER THE SAME AREAS.

THE THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE STRONG ENOUGH TO BECOME SEVERE THROUGH THE
LATE EVENING HOURS ACROSS NORTHEAST IOWA AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST
MINNESOTA. THE MAIN THREATS WOULD BE LARGE HAIL...AND DAMAGING WIND
GUSTS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA
THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK. THE MOIST...UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL
REMAIN IN PLACE SOUTH OF THE FRONT. THUS...THE CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND

THE GREATEST THREAT FROM ANY OF THE WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY
THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES TO BE ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINS. THE FLASH
FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. ADDITIONAL
ROUNDS OF HEAVY RAIN POSE CONTINUED FLOODING CONCERNS ACROSS MUCH OF
THE AREA. WITH A STRONGER PUSH OF THE WARM AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS
NORTHWARD POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
FURTHER FLASH FLOOD WATCHES MAY BE NEEDED...AND A FEW OF THE STORMS
COULD BECOME SEVERE.

THE BETTER THREAT OF ANY SEVERE STORMS WOULD BE SOUTH OF AN AUSTIN
MINNESOTA TO RICHLAND CENTER WISCONSIN LINE...WITH THE MAIN THREATS
BEING LARGE HAIL AND MORE HEAVY RAINS.

IT IS TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE THE TIMING AND DETAILS OF ANY SEVERE
STORM THREATS ON FRIDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

810 PM CDT TUE AUG 21 2007

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

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

A STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS
NORTHERN IOWA AND NORTHERN ILLINOIS TONIGHT. THUNDERSTORMS WILL
MOVE OUT OF IOWA AND ACROSS THE AREA OVERNIGHT AS WARMTH AND
MOISTURE SPREAD OVER THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. A FEW OF THE STORMS COULD
PRODUCE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS...WITH A FEW LOCATIONS SEEING 1 TO
2 INCHES OF RAIN. A FEW SEVERE STORMS WITH LARGE HAIL CANNOT BE
RULED OUT...PARTICULARLY THROUGH THE EARLY PORTIONS OF THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN ACROSS NORTHERN IOWA
THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK. A MOIST...UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL REMAIN
IN PLACE SOUTH OF THE FRONT. THUS...THE CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA FOR MUCH OF THE WEDNESDAY
THROUGH FRIDAY PERIOD. HIGH PRESSURE AND SOME DRIER AIR STILL LOOKS
TO PUSH IN FOR THE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

THE GREATEST THREAT FROM ANY OF THE WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY
THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES TO BE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS. IF THE FRONT
PUSHES A BIT FURTHER NORTH THERE WOULD BE A THREAT FOR A FEW SEVERE
STORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS OF WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY. FOR NOW IT APPEARS THE FRONT WILL STAY PUT AND THE SEVERE
STORM THREAT WILL REMAIN SOUTH OF THE AREA.

IT IS TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE THE TIMING AND DETAILS OF ANY SEVERE
STORM THREATS ON FRIDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT EXPECTED TODAY OR TONIGHT. REPORTS OF ANY
