AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
319 AM CDT SAT APR 19 2008

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT

FORECAST CONCERNS ARE ON PRECIPITATION CHANCES TODAY AND TONIGHT AND
THE ENDING OF THE RAIN. ALSO TIMING OF COLD FRONT MONDAY AND MONDAY
ALONG WITH RAIN CHANCES.

07Z SURFACE ANALYSIS HAS LOW PRESSURE CENTERED OVER EASTERN IOWA AND
NORTHWEST ILLINOIS. STATIONARY FRONT THEN WINDS ITS WAY THROUGH
EXTREME SOUTHERN WISCONSIN AND INTO NORTHERN MICHIGAN. AREA RADARS
SHOWING SCATTERED SHOWERS FROM SOUTHERN IOWA INTO NORTHERN ILLINOIS
IN VICINITY OF LOW...WITH MAIN DEFORMATION AREA OF LIGHT RAIN
ACROSS NORTHWEST WISCONSIN.

19.00Z MODELS IN OVERALL GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE PERIOD
RESULTING IN A HIGHER CONFIDENCE FORECAST THROUGH THE PERIOD.

IN THE NEAR TERM...NEARLY VERTICALLY STACKED SYSTEM OVER THE MIDWEST
WILL SLOWLY TRANSLATE EASTWARD TODAY AND INTO THE OHIO VALLEY
TONIGHT. WEAK LIFT PERSISTS THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY TODAY...
ESPECIALLY OVER SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN...WHERE HIGHEST PROBABILITIES
WILL BE FOUND. TEMPERATURES RATHER TRICKY WITH CLOUDS AND SCATTERED
SHOWERS. EXPECT SMALL DIURNAL RANGE...BUT WITH THE SCATTERED
NATURE OF THE SHOWERS HAVE RAISED TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES FROM
THE PREVIOUS FORECAST...BUT NOT AS WARM AS GUIDANCE WOULD SUGGEST.

TONIGHT AND SUNDAY...WEAK RIDGING BUILDS ACROSS THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI
RIVER VALLEY AS THE LOW PUSHES INTO THE OHIO VALLEY/EASTERN GREAT
LAKES REGION. RESIDUAL MOISTURE IN CYCLONIC FLOW CONTINUES ACROSS
THE AREA THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS AND HAVE KEPT SMALL POPS IN TO
ACCOUNT FOR THIS. HOWEVER SUBSIDENCE STRONG ENOUGH AFTER MIDNIGHT TO
PRECLUDE ANY PRECIAPITION. TIME HEIGHT CROSS SECTIONS OF RELATIVE
HUMIDITY SHOWING CLOUDS TO BREAK UP THROUGH THE LATE NIGHT HOURS.
WITH THE WET GROUND AND EXPECTED LIGHT WINDS HAVE ADDED THE MENTION
OF FOG TO THE GRIDS FROM LATE SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING.
ONCE THE FOG BURNS OFF EXPECT A VERY NICE DAY FOR SUNDAY WITH
TEMPERATURES REBOUNDING QUICKLY INTO THE 60S AND PERHAPS LOWER 70S.

ATTENTION THEN TURNS TO TROUGH ACROSS THE WESTERN CONUS.
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT PUSHES INTO WESTERN MINNESOTA MONDAY AND
TOWARD THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT. MOISTURE TRANSPORT INCREASES AHEAD OF
THE BOUNDARY PUSHING SURFACE DEWPOINTS INTO THE LOWER 50S BY MONDAY
AFTERNOON. TIMING OF FRONT NOT FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE WEATHER THOUGH
AS FRONTAL FORCING MAXIMIZED DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
HOWEVER...BOTH THE GFS AND NAM GENERATE MUCAPES OF NEARLY 1000 J/KG
MONDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT WITH 0-6KM SHEAR VALUES APPROACHING 35
KNOTS. SO CAN NOT TOTALLY RULE OUT SOME SEVERE. WITH HIGHEST
INSTABILITIES AND STRONGEST SHEAR LOCATED OVER SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA
AND NORTHEAST IOWA THIS WOULD APPEAR TO BE WHERE THE GREATEST
THREAT OF ANY STORMS REACHING SEVERE CRITERIA WOULD BE.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

FRONT/TROUGH MOVES ACROSS THE AREA ON TUESDAY WITH PREVIOUS SET OF
GRIDS REFLECTING THIS NICELY. FRONT IS PROGRESSIVE SO HAVE ADDED
SOME TIMING TUESDAY NIGHT WITH MAIN FORCING EXPECTED TO BE DURING
THE EVENING HOURS AND THUS AFTER COLLABORATION WITH NEIGHBORING
OFFICES HAVE REMOVED POPS AFTER 06Z AS HIGH PRESSURE BEGINS TO
BUILD ACROSS THE AREA. BOTH THE 19.00Z GFS AND ECMWF SHOW HIGH
PRESSURE OVER THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY AND THUS HAVE REMOVED MENTION
OF THE LOW POPS IN THIS TIME FRAME. OTHERWISE REMAINDER OF FORECAST
LOOKS ON TRACK WITH NO OTHER CHANGES PLANNED.

.AVIATION...
LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE SLOWLY EAST FROM NORTHERN ILLINOIS INTO
INDIANA TODAY...AND THEN STALL AND WEAKEN OVERNIGHT. THE LOW WILL
CONTINUE TO WRAP MOISTURE INTO THE REGION IN THE FORM OF LOW CLOUDS
AND ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHRA ACTIVITY. IFR CEILINGS AND IFR/MVFR
VSBY AT KRST/KLSE TAF SITES WILL GRADUALLY IMPROVE THIS MORNING INTO
MVFR/VFR RANGE BY THIS AFTERNOON...THEN REMAIN IN MVFR/VFR RANGE
THROUGH TONIGHT. HAVE KEPT SHRA MENTION OUT OF THE KRST/KLSE TAF
SITES AS BEST CHANCES REMAINING EAST OF THE AREA.
