AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
348 PM CDT SAT JUN 14 2008

.SHORT TERM...THROUGH TUESDAY

FORECAST FOCUS IS ON CONVECTIVE CHANCES TONIGHT AND INTO SUNDAY...
AND AGAIN LATE TUESDAY.

19Z SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE OZARKS AND OHIO
VALLEY REGION BACK INTO THE HIGH PLAINS. LOW PRESSURE WAS LOCATED
OVER ND AND ALSO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARIES
WERE WORKING WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW FROM THE PLAINS TO GENERATE BATCHES
OF CONVECTION TO THE SOUTH AND ACROSS THE DAKOTAS.

FIRST...CONVECTION INTO THE FAR SOUTHERN COUNTIES OF THE FORECAST
AREA. EXPECT THIS TO PERSIST INTO THE EVENING UNDER MAIN CAPE AXIS
AND NEAREST THE MOISTURE FEED. OTHER CONVECTION ACROSS THE DAKOTAS
EXPECTED TO MOVE AND/OR DEVELOP EAST/SOUTHEAST TOWARD THE AREA AS
SHORT WAVE ENERGY MOVES ACROSS THE REGION ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE
MAIN UPPER LOW CORE NEAR HUDSON BAY. MOISTURE REMAINS A LIMITING
FACTOR FOR WIDESPREAD DEVELOPMENT...BUT ENOUGH SUPPORT TO MAINTAIN
AND EXPAND THE 50 POP. NAM MOST ROBUST WITH QPF IN OUR REGION...WITH
SOME SUPPORT FROM EASTARW4 AND EASTNMM5. OVERALL...WIDESPREAD RAIN
AMOUNTS NOT EXPECTED TO BE HEAVY...BUT THERE REMAINS THE POSSIBILITY
FOR ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS...PERHAPS UP TO AN INCH IN SOME SPOTS.
SOME POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS WITH COOL POOL FOR HAIL
DEVELOPMENT...AND DRY LOWER LAYER ASSISTING WITH WIND POTENTIAL.

CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY LOOKS TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE AREA INTO SUNDAY.
MUCH OF THE AREA WILL HAVE AT LEAST A CHANCE FOR RAIN SUNDAY
MORNING...WITH THE RAIN CHANCES BY AFTERNOON CONFINED TO THE
SOUTHEAST PART OF THE FORECAST AREA...AS WELL AS NORTH CENTRAL
WISCONSIN WHERE CYCLONIC FLOW AROUND THE MAIN UPPER LOW...COMBINED
WITH THE COLD POOL MAY GENERATE INSTABILITY SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. THIS ACTION WILL LIKELY CONTINUE INTO SUNDAY NIGHT
BEFORE DIMINISHING. DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE ENOUGH SUPPORT FOR ANY
SEVERE WEATHER.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FOR MONDAY...PROVIDING DRY SKIES AND COOL
TEMPERATURES. SOME QUESTION THEN ON POTENTIAL FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ON TUESDAY. MODELS SUPPORT A WEAK SHORT WAVE TROUGH
MOVING ACROSS THE AREA IN THE NORTHWEST FLOW...PROVIDING A CHANCE
FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. MOISTURE LIMITED ONCE AGAIN...AND
MODELS A BIT AT ODDS ON THIS. BUT APPEARS TO BE ENOUGH FORCING AND
SUPPORT FOR AT LEAST A CHANCE LATE TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT.

TEMPERATURES LOOKING COOL FOR MID-JUNE...ESPECIALLY MONDAY.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT SATURDAY

MEDIUM RANGE MODELS STILL SUPPORTIVE OF A SOMEWHAT PROLONGED PERIOD
OF DRY WEATHER. PATTERN REMAINS BLOCKY...WITH MEAN TROUGHS OVER BOTH
COASTS...AND A RIDGE OVER CENTRAL NORTH AMERICA. THIS PLACES OUR
REGION IN A COOL AND DRY NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT...WITH THE MAIN FLOW OF
SHORT WAVE TROUGHS DROPPING INTO THE GREAT LAKES...TOO FAR EAST FOR
MUCH ACTION. COOL TEMPERATURES LOOK TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...
GENERAL VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED AT KRST/KLSE TONIGHT/SUN...HOWEVER A
CHANCE SHRA/TSRA WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA MAINLY LATER TONIGHT/
EARLY SUN MORNING. A SERIES OF SHORTWAVES WILL SLIDE SOUTHEAST
ACROSS THE AREA TONIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY. THE BULK OF THE MOISTURE
RETURN AND INCREASE OF INSTABILITY AHEAD OF THESE FEATURES...AND
HIGHER SHRA/TSRA CHANCES...LOOK TO REMAIN SOUTH OF THE TAF SITES
THRU THIS EVENING...ACROSS NORTHEAST IA/SOUTHWEST WI THRU. AS ONE
STRONGER SHORTWAVE HEADS TOWARD THE AREA LATER TONIGHT/SUN MORNING
SOME OF THE MOISTURE/INSTABILITY...ALONG WITH THE CHANCES OF
SHRA/TSRA... ARE PULLED NORTH OVER THE TAF SITES. CARRIED SCT VFR CB
LAYER MUCH OF TONIGHT INTO SUN MORNING DUE SCT TSRA EXPECTED IN THE
AREA. ADDED VCSH FOR LATE TONIGHT/EARLY SUN MORNING FOR NOW WITH SCT
COVERAGE OF SHRA/TSRA EXPECTED. LATER SHIFTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO
DETAIL THIS INTO A SHORT PERIOD OF BKN CB  AND PERHAPS TSRA ONCE
TIMING/EVOLUTION OF THE MOISTURE/ SHORTWAVES BECOME CLEARER.
IMPROVING VFR CONDITIONS FOR LATER SUN MORNING/AFTERNOON AS
NORTHWEST WINDS/SUBSIDENCE SCOUR MOISTURE OUT OF THE AREA.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
RIVERS CONTINUE TO FALL OVER THE FORECAST AREA. STILL SOME AREAS OF
HIGH WATER...WITH A FEW WARNINGS STILL ONGOING. ANY NEW RAINFALL
WILL BE OF CONCERN...BUT OVERALL NOT FEELING THAT THERE WILL BE A
WIDESPREAD THREAT FOR HEAVY RAINFALL...WITH STORMS EXPECTED TO MOVE
THROUGH SOMEWHAT QUICKLY. THUS WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY WATCH OR OUTLOOK
AT THIS POINT.

&&

.ARX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WI...NONE.
MN...NONE.

CRESTS ON AREA RIVERS...OR CAUSE QUICK RUNOFF ON THE SATURATED
