AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
317 AM CDT WED APR 24 2008

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT

FORECAST CONCERNS FOCUS ON PRECIPITATION CHANCES THROUGH THE
PERIOD AND POSSIBLE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ON FRIDAY.

SURFACE MAP EARLY THIS MORNING HAD DEPARTING AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE
OVER THE GREAT LAKES REGION WHILE LOW PRESSURE WAS LOCATED OVER THE
HIGH PLAINS/ND. WATER VAPOR/IR SATELLITE LOOP SHOWING A VIGOROUS
MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH EJECTING NORTHEAST OUT OF KS. MOISTURE
FEED AND LIFT AHEAD OF THE WAVE WAS FUELING CONVECTION FROM
MO...NORTHWARD INTO IA. RADAR LOOP SHOWING NORTHEAST EDGE OF THE
CONVECTION OVER IA WAS DWINDLING SOMEWHAT AS IT ENCOUNTERS DRIER AIR
IN PLACE TO THE EAST. SOUTHEASTERLY SURFACE FLOW ACROSS THE AREA AND
INCREASING HIGH/MID CLOUD COVER WERE KEEPING TEMPERATURES RELATIVELY
MILD WITH READINGS IN THE MID 50S TO LOWER 60S.

24.12Z GFS AND NAM OFFERING FAIRLY SIMILAR SOLUTIONS THROUGH THE
PERIOD. GENERALLY WENT WITH A BLEND OF THE TWO.

FOR TODAY..THE MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE OVER KS THIS MORNING WILL CONTINUE
TO TRACK NORTHEAST...AND WILL SPREAD ELEVATED SHRA/TS ACTIVITY INTO
THE AREA. BASED ON BEST MOISTURE TRANSPORT REMAINING NORTHWEST OF
THE AREA...THE SHRA/TS SHOULD CONTINUE ON A WEAKENING TREND AS THEY
PROGRESS NORTHEAST. HAVE KEPT HIGHEST POPS WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI
THIS MORNING...WITH DECREASING POPS TO THE EAST. THE SHORTWAVE
TROUGH WILL MOVE INTO CENTRAL/NORTHERN WI BY 18Z TODAY WHILE NOSE OF
MOISTURE TRANSPORT REMAINS NORTHWEST. BASED ON THIS...LOOKS LIKE
THERE WILL BE A LULL IN THE ACTION...SO HAVE DIMINISHED SHRA/TS POPS
TO CHANCE CATEGORY FOR THE AFTERNOON HOURS. ALSO FEEL THERE WILL BE
ENOUGH BREAKS IN THE OVERCAST TODAY TO COINCIDE WITH WARM AIR
ADVECTION TO PUSH HIGHS INTO UPPER 60S TO MIDDLE 70S.

FOR TONIGHT...A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST INTO NORTHWEST WI
THROUGH SOUTHERN MN WHILE A SECONDARY WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE EJECTS
NORTHEAST OUT OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. MODELS SHOWING DECENT NOSE OF
925-850MB MOISTURE TRANSPORT HEADING TOWARD THE UPPER MIDWEST AHEAD
OF THE WAVE. THIS SHOULD REFUEL CONVECTION...ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE
SOUTH WHERE MUCAPES PUSH ABOVE 500 J/KG.

THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE DEEPENS AS IT MOVE NORTHEAST THROUGH
WESTERN WI ON FRIDAY. THIS IS A SLIGHTLY MORE NORTHWEST TRACK THAN
PREVIOUS RUNS. THIS WOULD ALSO PUT EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST
AREA INTO THE WARM SECTOR OF THE LOW. NAM/GFS SHOW MUCAPES PUSHING
INTO THE 1000-2000J/KG RANGE BY AFTERNOON ACROSS THE EAST BASED ON
PARTIAL CLEARING IN THE WARM SECTOR. THE MODELS ALSO SHOWING AMPLE
0-6KM BULK SHEAR. AS A RESULT...THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT RISK OF
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...INCLUDING POSSIBLE ISOLATED TORNADOES RUNNING
SOUTHEAST OF A LINE FROM LINE FROM MEDFORD AND LA CROSSE WI TO
OELWEIN IA. QUESTION REMAINS ON HOW MUCH CLEARING/DESTABILIZATION
WILL ACTUALLY TAKE PLACE IN THE WARN SECTOR. WILL DEFINITELY HAVE TO
KEEP AN EYE ON THIS AND WILL TALK UP THE SEVERE THREAT IN HWO
PRODUCT.

THE LOW CONTINUES TO DEEPEN AS IT SWINGS INTO THE U.P. OF MI FRIDAY
NIGHT. STRONG COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE AREA ON
BLUSTERY WEST WINDS. LINGERING DEFORMATION BAND SHRA IN THE EVENING
EXPECTED TO MIX WITH -SN LATE IN THE NIGHT AS COLDER AIR CONTINUES
TO FILTER IN UNDERNEATH THE LOW.

SATURDAY WILL CONTINUE TO BE COOL AND BLUSTERY AS THE AREA REMAINS IN
THE STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW. HIGHS
EXPECTED TO ONLY TOP OFF IN THE MID 40S TO MID 50S.

A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL SWING FROM THE PLAINS THROUGH THE
UPPER MIDWEST SATURDAY NIGHT. THIS WILL SPREAD MORE CLOUDS INTO THE
AREA LONG WITH A CHANCE OF -RA OR -RA/-SN MIX.

TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS FOR THE LOCAL AREA EXPECTED TO BE IN THE HALF
INCH TO ONE AND A HALF INCH RANGE FROM TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY. THE
GROUND SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE PRECIPITATION BASED ON SPREAD
OUT AMOUNTS. HAVE THEREFORE OPTED TO CEASE ANY FURTHER ISSUANCES OF
ESF PRODUCT.

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

MEDIUM RANGE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW DEEP TROUGH/EVENTUAL CLOSED
LOW  ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES REGION SUNDAY THROUGH
TUESDAY FOR AN UNSEASONABLY COOL AND SHOWERY PERIOD. 500MB HEIGHTS
START TO REBUILD TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS THE CLOSED LOW
PULLS EAST OF THE REGION AND A RIDGE BUILDS IN FROM THE PLAINS.
HIGHS ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY WILL STRUGGLE INTO THE MID 40S TO LOWER
50S...THEN MODERATE INTO THE MID AND UPPER 50S BY WEDNESDAY.

.AVIATION...TONIGHT AND THURSDAY

A COLD FRONT WILL REMAIN TO THE WEST OF THE AREA TODAY. SOUTHERLY
WINDS AHEAD OF IT WILL CONTINUE TO PUMP LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
NORTHWARD. A DRIER AIRMASS CURRENTLY OVER THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI
RIVER VALLEY REGION KEEPING PRECIPITATION AT BAY FOR THE TIME BEING.
HOWEVER...EXPECT A GRADUAL SATURATION OF THE LOWER LAYERS THIS
MORNING...ALLOWING FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO OVERSPREAD THE
TAF SITES AS LEAD SHORTWAVE APPROACHES THE AREA. LOWEST CEILINGS AND
VISIBILITIES WILL ONLY LOWER INTO THE MVFR CATEGORY. AS THE MID
LEVEL SHORTWAVE PUSHES INTO NORTHERN WISCONSIN THIS
AFTERNOON...EXPECT A BREAK IN THE PRECIPITATION WHICH SHOULD LAST
THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS. NEXT WAVE THEN PUSHES NORTHWARD BRING
MORE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE AREA LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY.
EXPECT CEILINGS TO LOWER INTO THE MVFR CATEGORY 12Z-15Z THIS MORNING
AND THEN REMAIN THERE THROUGH 06Z FRIDAY.
