AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
357 AM CDT SUN APR 13 2008

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY

MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES AND AFTERNOON DEW POINTS FOR THE NEXT THREE
DAYS...AND WHETHER A WIND ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED ON TUESDAY
AFTERNOON ARE THE MAIN CONCERNS FOR THIS PART OF THE FORECAST.

AT 3 AM...A SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDED FROM THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
VALLEY EAST INTO THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. THIS SYSTEM WAS
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS AND CLOUD COVER ON
SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT.

THE 13.00Z GFS AND NAM/WRF ARE IN GENERAL AGREEMENT THAT SOME MID
AND HIGH CLOUDINESS WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE REGION TODAY.
THERE ALSO CONTINUES TO BE SOME INDICATIONS THAT SOME INSTABILITY
CLOUDS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THE GFS IS MORE
ROBUST WITH THESE LOW CLOUDS THAN THE NAM/WRF SOLUTION...BUT ITS
850 AND 925 MB MOISTURE WAS OVER DONE IN IT INITIALIZATION.  OVERALL
SKIES TODAY SHOULD RANGE FROM MOSTLY TO PARTLY SUNNY. TEMPERATURES
ALOFT REMAIN RATHER COOL TODAY AND THE MIX DOWN TOOLS ONLY SUGGEST
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES RANGING THE UPPER 30S TO LOWER 40S. THIS HAS
SUPPORT FROM THE GFS MOS TEMPERATURES...SO I LOWERED THE HIGH
TEMPERATURES A FEW MORE DEGREES.

ON MONDAY...IT CONTINUES TO LOOK LIKE WE WILL HAVE LIGHT WINDS AND
RESIDUAL COLD AIR ALOFT. BOTH OF THESE WILL LIKELY RETARD HOW WARM
OUR TEMPERATURES CAN RISE. THE MOS TEMPERATURE TREND DURING THE
PAST COUPLE OF DAYS HAS BEEN TRENDING COOLER AND COOLER EACH DAY.
MIXING DOWN THE TEMPERATURES FROM 825 MB ONLY GENERATES HIGH
TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 40S AND LOWER 50S. THIS IS ACTUALLY
CLOSE TO THE CURRENT GFS MOS...SO I COOLED THE MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURES BY A DEGREE OR TWO.

ON TUESDAY...THE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW THAT MUCH WARMER AIR WILL
BE LOCATED ACROSS THE REGION. THE NAM/WRF HAS 850 MB TEMPERATURES
NEAR 14C. MEANWHILE THE GFS ONLY HAS 850 MB TEMPERATURES OF AROUND
6C. THE ECMWF WAS A GOOD COMPROMISE BETWEEN THESE TWO SOLUTIONS...
SO I USED THE TEMPERATURE MIX DOWN TOOL TO OBTAIN MY MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURES FOR THIS TIME PERIOD. THE RESULT WAS SLIGHTLY WARMER
THAN MOS AND THIS MAKES SENSE WITH ABUNDANT SUNSHINE AND STRONG
TURBULENT MIXING TO BRING THE WARMER FROM ALOFT TO THE SURFACE.

DURING THE NEXT THREE AFTERNOONS...THERE IS INDICATIONS IN THE
BUFKIT SOUNDINGS THAT THE DRY AIR FROM ALOFT WILL MIX DOWN TO THE
SURFACE. THIS WOULD RESULT IN DRIER DEW POINTS THAN WHAT SHOWS UP
IN THE MOS DEW POINTS. AS A RESULT...I USED THE MIX DOWN DEW POINT
TOOL TO LOWER THEM SOME.

THE ONLY OTHER CONCERN FOR THIS PART OF THE FORECAST IS WHETHER A
WIND ADVISORY WILL BE NEEDED ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN AREAS OF
SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA AND NORTHEAST IOWA. WITH THE BUFKIT SOUNDINGS
SHOWING WIND GUSTS APPROACHING 40 KNOTS...I RAISED THE WIND GUST
GRIDS UP A BIT MORE. ONE CONCERN THAT I HAVE ABOUT ISSUING A WIND
ADVISORY IS THAT THERE IS SOME TURNING OF THE WINDS IN THE LOWEST
5000 FEET OF THE SOUNDING AND THAT THIS MAY LIMITED THE POTENTIAL
GUSTS SOME.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY

MUCH OF THE INTEREST THIS WEEK RESIDES IN THE EXTENDED PORTION OF
THE FORECAST. UNLIKE THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS...THE 13.00Z MEDIUM
RANGE MODELS ARE COMING INTO SOME AGREEMENT ON WHAT MAY HAPPEN
DURING THIS PART OF THE FORECAST. LOOKING AT THE LATEST WATER
VAPOR IMAGERY ACROSS THE CENTRAL PACIFIC...THERE ARE TWO ROSSBY
WAVES MOVING FROM THE TROPICS INTO MID LATITUDES. THIS SHOULD
RESULT IN THE EVENTUAL EVOLUTION OF A BROAD UPPER LEVEL RIDGE
LOCATED OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL PACIFIC AND A LONG WAVE TROUGH OVER
THE WESTERN UNITED STATES LATER THIS WEEK. AT THE SAME TIME...THE
TROPICAL FORCING ACROSS THE WESTERN ATLANTIC OCEAN WILL LIKELY
RESULT IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LONG WAVE TROUGH. IF THIS DOES
INDEED DEVELOP...WE WOULD LIKELY SEE A STRONG SOUTHERN WAVE EJECT
OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND MOVE NORTHEAST TOWARD THE MID AND
UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEYS DURING THE LATTER HALF OF THIS
WEEK. THE GFS CAUGHT ONTO THIS SCENARIO YESTERDAY AND ITS 13.00Z
MODEL RUN IS STILL SHOWING THIS. MEANWHILE THE ECMWF WHICH SHOWED
TWO DISTINCT STREAMS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND NO INTERACTION
HAS STARTED TO SHIFT TOWARD THE GFS. CURRENTLY BOTH THE 13.00Z GFS
AND ECMWF ARE SHOWING THAT THE WESTERN TROUGH WILL BE ANOMALOUSLY
COLD AND THERE ARE EVEN INDICATIONS OF STRATOSPHERIC WARMING
TAKING PLACE ACROSS THE REGION. THIS IS UNUSUALLY FAR SOUTH FOR
THIS TIME OF YEAR. THIS WOULD KEEP US IN SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT
INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

WITH THE 13.00Z MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUING TO SHOW THAT A
MOISTURE STARVED PACIFIC COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION
ON WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT...I ADDED A SMALL CHANCE OF
SHOWERS TO THE FORECAST ON WEDNESDAY. SLIGHTLY BETTER MOISTURE
MOVES INTO THE REGION ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND IT WAS THE CONSENSUS
OF THE SOUTHERN AND EASTERN WFOS TO GO WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER
PRECIPITATION PROBABILITIES...SO I MADE A SLIGHT CHANGE TO THIS
TIME PERIOD.

LOOKING FURTHER OUT TOWARD THE END OF THIS WEEK...WE WILL PROBABLY
HAVE TO SHIFT OUR PRECIPITATION TRENDS TOWARD THE 04.13Z GFS/ECMWF
SOLUTION WHICH BRINGS THE SOUTH CENTRAL PLAINS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
NORTHEAST INTO THE REGION. THIS REASONING WAS DISCUSSED IN DETAIL
IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THIS SECTION.
&&

.AVIATION...TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING

HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO THE REGION THEN BE
CENTERED ACROSS THE AREA FOR TONIGHT INTO MON. DRIER AIR AND
SUBSIDENCE WITH THIS HIGH ARE EXPECTED TO BRING GENERALLY GOOD VFR
CONDITIONS TO THE AREA FOR MUCH OF TODAY INTO MON. SOME SUNSHINE AND
COLD AIR ALOFT WILL RESULT IN STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES TODAY. A
FEED OF MOISTURE FROM THE SFC /SNOW MELT/WET SOILS/ AND THE STEEP
LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES ARE EXPECTED TO RESULT IN SCT-BKN DIURNAL
CUMULUS CLOUDS IN THE 5K FOOT RANGE FOR THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY
EVENING HOURS TODAY. WARMER TEMPS ALOFT ON MON ARE EXPECTED TO LIMIT
THE DIURNAL CUMULUS DEVELOPMENT MON AFTERNOON.

FROM LATE MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING...IT LOOKS LIKE
THERE MAY BE THE POTENTIAL OF LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR DEVELOPING.
THIS WILL BE MOST PROBABLE IN THE MISSISSIPPI AND WISCONSIN RIVER
VALLEYS WHERE A SLIGHTLY DEEPER NOCTURNAL INVERSION WILL LIMIT
MIXING IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER. AT THE SAME TIME...THE WINDS AT
925 MB WILL BE INCREASING INTO THE 40 TO 45 KNOT RANGE.
