Area forecast discussion, May 25, 2:20 PM CDT, 4 hours 48 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
220 PM CDT SUN MAY 25 2008

.SHORT TERM...THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT

FORECAST CONCERN REMAINS PRIMARILY FOCUSED ON WHAT APPEARS TO BE HIGH
PROBABILITY FOR SEVERE WEATHER EVENT FROM LATE AFTERNOON INTO THIS
EVENING. PLEASE REFERENCE LATEST LOCAL HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK AND
SPC DAY ONE OUTLOOK FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.

AFTERNOON SURFACE ANALYSIS HAD LOW PRESSURE NEAR NORTH DAKOTA/
MANITOBA BORDER. COLD FRONT EXTENDED FROM THE LOW ACROSS WESTERN MN
TO PROXIMITY OF NEBRASKA/IOWA BORDER. PLUME OF SURFACE DEW POINTS
IN THE 60S TO LOWER 70S CONTINUES FEEDING NORTHWARD AHEAD OF COLD
FRONT. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE INCREASING AHEAD OF THE FRONT
PER LATEST LAPS INFORMATION...WHERE CONVECTION WAS INITIATING OVER
CENTRAL MN INTO NORTHWEST WI.

PER VISIBLE SATELLITE...LOW CLOUDS THINNING/ERODING...THUS
ALLOWING SBCAPE VALUES TO BUILD TO 2000-3000J/KG JUST WEST OF THE
FORECAST AREA. IN ADDITION...HERRING BONE STRUCTURES SEEN IN CLOUD
FIELDS...WHICH WAS INDICATIVE OF STRONG LOW LEVEL WINDS. OF SPECIAL
NOTE...TAMDAR SOUNDINGS INDICATED CAP ERODING AS HEATING/MIXING
OCCURS.

IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE...90-100KT 300MB JET MAXIMUM SITUATED OVER
CENTRAL MN...AS VERIFIED BY ACARS. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY INDICATED
SEVERAL SHORT WAVES IN SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW...WHICH EXTENDED FROM
CENTRAL ROCKIES TO LAKE SUPERIOR. SHORT WAVE ADVANCING ACROSS SOUTH
DAKOTA APPEARS TO BE THE FEATURE WHICH SHOULD AID IN LARGE ASCENT
FOR CONVECTIVE INITIATION.

25.12Z DETERMINISTIC NCEP AND EUROPEAN MODELS...AS WELL AS
PROBABILISTIC DATA SUITE...WERE IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON OVERALL UPPER
LEVEL AND SURFACE FEATURES. AS A RESULT...CONFIDENCE WAS HIGH THAT
FORECAST AREA WILL LIKELY HAVE A SEVERE WEATHER EVENT FROM LATE
THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. IN FACT...SREF CALIBRATED
PROBABILITY OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL MAXIMIZES OVER THE
FORECAST AREA BETWEEN 25.21Z-26.03Z.

LATE AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING...850MB MOISTURE TRANSPORT INCREASES
INTO THE EVENING AHEAD OF APPROACHING COLD FRONT. THIS EFFECTIVELY
PULLS HIGH THETA-E AIR NORTHWARD...WHICH WAS VERIFIED BY SURFACE DEW
POINT PLUME TRANSITING THE FORECAST AREA. MEANWHILE...APPROACH OF
MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE AND UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE ASSOCIATED WITH RIGHT
ENTRANCE REGION OF 300MB JET SHOULD ENHANCE UPWARD VERTICAL MOTIONS.

LATEST RUC FORECAST SOUNDINGS INDICATED BOUYANCY SHOULD BUILD QUICKLY
AS LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES STEEPEN WITH MIXING AND HEATING OF BOUNDARY
LAYER. IN FACT...RUC INDICATED MUCAPE SHOULD REACH BETWEEN 2000-
3000J/KG THIS EVENING. IN ADDITION...CONSISTENT SIGNAL OF LARGE CAPE
THROUGH THE HAIL GROWTH ZONE SUPPORTS POTENTIAL FOR VERY LARGE HAIL.

SUPERCELLS APPEAR TO BE THE PRIMARY STORM MODE...WITH 0-6KM
SHEAR OF 45-55KTS. TORNADO PARAMETERS WERE IMPRESSIVE TOO...WITH
0-1KM HELICITY VALUES 200-300M2/SEC2 AND 0-1KM EHI OF 3-3.5. THERE
STILL APPEARS TO BE POTENTIAL FOR A STRONG TORNADO...AS SIGNIFICANT
TORNADO PARAMETER VALUES OF 3-4 WERE NOTED. IN FACT...HAVE NOT
SEEN SIGNIFICANT TORNADO PARAMETERS THIS HIGH SINCE AUGUST 18 2005.

LATE EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT...FOCUS FOR SEVERE WEATHER SHIFTS
FURTHER EAST AND SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA...AS COLD FRONT PUSHING
EASTWARD EXPECTED TO SCOUR OUT HIGHEST INSTABILITY. THIS WAS
CORROBORATED BY SREF CALIBRATED THUNDERSTORM PROBABILITY...ALONG WITH
SREF PROBABILITIES OF MEASURABLE QPF.

MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...LINGERED RAIN CHANCES IN SOUTHERN MOST
SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT...BUT THESE
STILL MAY NEED TO BE TRIMMED...SHOULD STRONG DRYING SIGNAL ASSOCIATED
WITH BUILDING SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE REMAIN CONSISTENT. OTHERWISE...
DRY WEATHER EXPECTED TO BE THE RULE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF HIGH
PRESSURE AT SURFACE AND ALOFT.

.LONG TERM...THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERNS IN THE EXTENDED OUTLOOK WERE ON NEXT RAIN
CHANCES. CONFIDENCE CONTINUES TO GROW WITH RESPECT TO RAIN
PROBABILITIES...SINCE DETERMINISTIC GFS AND ECMWF HAVE INDICATED A
CONSISTENT SIGNAL THAT UPPER LEVEL AND SURFACE WAVE SHOULD IMPACT THE
FORECAST AREA BETWEEN THURSDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY.

IN FACT...ROBUST RETURN OF SOUTHERLY FLOW INTO WARM FRONT FORECAST BY
MODELS COULD POSE A THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER LATE IN THE WEEK PER SPC
DAY 4-8 OUTLOOK...ALONG WITH POTENTIAL FOR A WIDESPREAD RAIN EVENT.
AT THIS TIME...NO CHANGES WERE MADE TO THIS PORTION OF THE EXTENDED
OUTLOOK...ALTHOUGH RAIN CHANCES MAY WARRANT AN UPWARD TREND SHOULD
FORCING SIGNALS REMAIN CONSISTENT.

&&

.AVIATION...
SCT SHRA/TS WILL DEVELOP THIS AFT/EVENING AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING
COLD FRONT. MVFR/IFR CEILING AHEAD OF THE FRONT WERE LIFTING/ERODING
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AS THE FRONT APPROACHES AND MIXING OCCURS...PER
RUC BUFKIT SOUNDINGS. GOOD INSTABILITY AHEAD OF THE FRONT...ALONG
WITH SOME SPEED/DIRECTIONAL WIND SHEAR...COULD LEAD TO SEVERE
STORMS...WITH HAIL/DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. DUE TO UNCERTAINTY IN
WHERE/WHEN FOR THE TS...WILL LEAVE AS VICINITY MENTION IN THE TAFS
FOR NOW...AND WILL REFINE AS DEVELOPMENT/TRENDS ALLOW.

THE FRONT LOOKS TO PUSH EAST OF THE KRST/KLSE BETWEEN 06-09Z.
CEILINGS SHOULD SCATTER OUT POST FRONT...BUT SOME THREAT OF WRAP
AROUND CLOUDS AROUND A LOW TO THE NORTH...SINKING SOUTH ACROSS THE
TAF SITES FOR MONDAY. NOT CONFIDENT IN THIS SCENARIO...BUT COLD AIR
AND STEEP LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES SHOULD LEAD TO SOME SCT/BKN CU
DEVELOPING FOR MON AFTERNOON REGARDLESS.
