AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
200 PM CDT TUE JUL 17 2007

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT

BULK OF WEATHER CONCERNS ARE IN FIRST FEW DAYS WITH SURFACE
BOUNDARIES NEARLY STATIONARY AIDING DEVELOPMENT OF MESOSCALE
CONVECTIVE SYSTEMS AS QUICK AS ATMOSPHERE CAN RECOVER. TRYING TO
DETERMINE INITIATION AREA AND EXACT ORIENTATION FOR EACH ROUND OF
SEVERE WEATHER AND HEAVY RAIN IS PROVING TO BE A CHALLENGE BUT IS
CERTAINLY MAIN FOCUS FOR THIS FORECAST.

NOT MUCH CHANGE IN OVERALL PATTERN FROM LAST FEW DAYS. UPPER RIDGE
AXIS REMAINS CENTERED OVER ROCKIES WITH WEAK SHORT WAVE TROUGHS
PASSING THROUGH AREA IN NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. THINGS ARE A BIT MORE
MESSY AT THE SURFACE AS YOU WOULD EXPECT WITH SEVERAL BOUNDARIES
AROUND. DISTINCT WARM FRONT FEATURE IS OVER CENTRAL IOWA AS OF 18Z
BUT APPEARS TO BE WASHING OUT AS WINDS GRADUALLY VEER AHEAD OF IT.
MORE DISTINCT WEST-EAST BOUNDARY STRETCHES ALONG MINNESOTA-IOWA
BORDER WITH OTHER WEAKER FEATURES...LIKELY OLDER AND DISSIPATING
OUTFLOWS AROUND THE FORECAST AREA. CONVECTION HAS BEEN GOING NEARLY
ALL DAY ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHEAST IOWA IN WARM AIR ADVECTION ZONE
WITH ACCAS OR BUILDING CUMULUS STRETCHING BACK INTO SOUTHWEST
MINNESOTA. STRATUS FIELD HAS ALSO KEPT TEMPERATURES AND ASSOCIATED
CAPE VALUES DOWN EAST OF MISSISSIPPI RIVER...EXCEPT SOME STORM
DEVELOPMENT NORTHEAST OF THAT WHERE BETTER HEATING IS IN PLACE.

ON THE OTHER HAND...MIXED LAYER CAPE VALUES HAVE BEEN CLIMBING AGAIN
OVER SOUTHERN MINNESOTA AND MUCH OF CENTRAL IOWA. LIKE YESTERDAY
BEST STORM INITIATION AREA APPEARS IT WILL BE ALONG THIS AXIS FROM
SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA ACROSS NORTHEAST IOWA INTO NORTHERN ILLINOIS.
DEEP LAYER SHEAR REMAINS ADEQUATE FOR SUPERCELLS...IN THE 40 TO 50
KNOT RANGE...SO LARGE HAIL PRODUCING STORMS AND EVENTUAL LINEAR
SYSTEMS OR BOWS SEEM LIKELY AGAIN. LARGER SCALE FORCING IS A BIT
WEAKER THIS AFTERNOON COMPARED TO YESTERDAY SO IT MAY TAKE A LITTLE
LONGER FOR STORMS TO REACH SEVERE LIMITS. WILL LIKELY SEE A ROUND OF
STORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING...AND THEN POSSIBILITY
OF REDEVELOPMENT WELL WEST LATER TONIGHT AS MOSITURE TRANSPORT
SHIFTS THAT WAY.

ASSESSMENT FOR CLASSIC FLASH FLOOD SCENARIO LEADS TO SOMEWHAT
MARGINAL CONFIDENCE IN ANY WARNINGS OVERNIGHT. MOISTURE TRANSPORT
SIGNAL IS NOT IMPRESSIVE THIS EVENING AND THEN GROWS WELL WEST OF
FORECAST AREA AS NOTED EARLIER. PROBLEM IS MUCH OF NORTHEAST IOWA
RECEIVED HEALTHY RAINFALL LAST 24 HOURS AND WITH DISTINCT
POSSIBILITY OF MORE STORMS IN THOSE SAME AREAS TONIGHT...FEEL A
WATCH IS GOOD IDEA THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING WHEN THINGS CAN BE
REASSESSED FOR LATER PROBLEMS.

ANOTHER FAVORABLE SETUP EXISTS FOR WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT
WITH SIMILAR SETUP. ALL WILL DEPEND ON WHERE BOUNDARIES END UP FROM
TONIGHT BUT APPEARS WEST-EAST BOUNDARY WILL BECOME MORE DOMINANT AND
GRADUALLY SHIFT SEVERE WEATHER AND RAINFALL THREAT SOUTH IN TIME.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO NORTHERN PLAINS AND WILL PUSH BOUNDARY
SOUTH OF FORECAST AREA EARLY THURSDAY TAKING RAIN THREAT WITH IT.
HAVE CONTINUED TO SCALE BACK ON RAIN THREAT THURSDAY MORNING...
WITH DRY FORECAST AFTER THAT.

.LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

PERIOD LIKELY DOMINATED BY LARGE UPPER RIDGE BUILDING EAST AND QUIET
WEATHER. INTERESTING THAT OVERNIGHT RUNS BY THE ECMWF...DGEX...AND
NOW 12Z GFS HINTING OF ENERGY DROPPING OUT OF EASTERN TROUGH AND
ACTUALLY RETROGRADING BACK TOWARDS THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES WHICH
COULD ACTUALLY BRING A RAIN THREAT INTO DAYS 6 AND 7 TIME FRAME. FOR
NOW PREFER EARLIER SOLUTION OF KEEPING RIDGE IN PLACE WITH NIL
WEATHER AND TEMPERATURES GRADUALLY CLIMBING BUT WILL HAVE TO WATCH
THIS TREND FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...

THE MVFR CEILINGS ACROSS WESTERN WISCONSIN ARE SLOWLY RISING THIS
AFTERNOON...AND THIS TREND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. IN ADDITION...THIS DECK WILL BECOME MORE
SCATTERED AS THE HIGH SUN ANGLE DISSIPATES THE INVERSION THAT IS
TRAPPING THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE.

LIKE MONDAY AFTERNOON...SEVERAL ROUNDS OF MODERATE TO SEVERE
CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG A QUASI-STATIONARY BOUNDARY
FROM JUST NORTH OF AUSTIN MINNESOTA /KAUM/ TO MINERAL POINT
WISCONSIN /KMRJ/ THIS AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE INTO TONIGHT.
ADDITIONAL CONVECTION MAY FIRE NORTH OF THIS FRONT ACROSS WESTERN
WISCONSIN TONIGHT AS THE LOW LEVEL JET BRINGS MOIST AND VERY
UNSTABLE AIR INTO THE REGION.

THE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THAT MVFR CEILINGS MAY REDEVELOP ACROSS
WESTERN WISCONSIN AFTER 11Z ON WEDNESDAY MORNING. THERE IS STILL A
QUITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY WHETHER THIS WILL OCCUR OR NOT.

1212 PM CDT TUE JUL 17 2007

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

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT...EXTENDING ACROSS SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA...
NORTHEAST IOWA...AND SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN...WILL BE FOCUS FOR SEVERAL
ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. THE WINDS ALOFT
ARE VERY FAVORABLE FOR SOME OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS TO BECOME SEVERE.
THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER THREATS LOOK TO BE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS. HOWEVER A FEW ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE WHERE THE
STORMS CAN INTERACT WITH RESIDUAL BOUNDARIES. AT THIS TIME...THE BEST
CHANCE OF SEVERE WEATHER LOOKS TO BE SOUTHEAST OF A DODGE CENTER
MINNESOTA TO VIROQUA WISCONSIN LINE.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY AS THE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY REMAINS NEAR THE AREA. DUE TO THE UNCERTAINLY OF THE
FRONTAL POSITION...IT IS DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE THE EXTENT AND
EXACT LOCATION OF THE GREATEST THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER. AS A
RESULT...WE URGE SPOTTER GROUPS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS TO
MONITOR WEATHER CONDITIONS A BIT CLOSER...AT LEAST THROUGH MID WEEK.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

.EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COORDINATION...

NO CALL IS SCHEDULED.
