AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
333 PM CDT FRI JUL 23 2010

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT
MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS ARE HEAVY RAIN AND SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL
TONIGHT.

CURRENTLY AS OF 20Z...WATER VAPOR LOOP AND RUC 500MB HEIGHT ANALYSIS
SHOWED STRONG RIDGING STILL IN PLACE ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S....
WESTERLY FLOW FROM MINNESOTA INTO NEW ENGLAND...AND A POTENT TROUGH
OVER EASTERN MONTANA. PLENTY OF MOISTURE REMAINS OVER THE UPPER
MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY REGION...PRIMARILY ACROSS IOWA INTO
SOUTHERN WISCONSIN...STEMMING FROM A FEW DIFFERENT SOURCES. FIRST...
ON WATER VAPOR A STREAM OF TROPICAL MOISTURE CAN BE SEN FROM THE
EAST PACIFIC INTO NEBRASKA AND EAST INTO SOUTHERN WISCONSIN. SECOND
IS A LOW LEVEL JET SEEN ON 850MB PROFILERS AND VWP FROM TEXAS INTO
IOWA...WHICH HAS BEEN BACKING TOWARDS THE SOUTH WITH THE APPROACH OF
THE UPPER TROUGH IN EASTERN MONTANA. 12Z SOUNDINGS ALONG WITH 20Z
RUC ANALYSIS DATA SHOW PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES OF 2-2.5 INCHES
FROM EASTERN TEXAS INTO SOUTHERN IOWA. COMPARE THIS TO ONLY 1 INCH
IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA. WITHIN THE MOISTURE STREAM...HAVE SEEN
CONVECTION FIRE OVER SOUTHERN IOWA...THOUGH MOST OF IT IN SOUTHEAST
IOWA. THIS CONVECTION IS ALONG A WARM FRONT WHERE TEMPERATURES IN
THE LOW 90S AND DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 70S EXIST SOUTH OF IT.
ANOTHER FRONTAL BOUNDARY...OR TROUGH...IS PRESENT FROM NEAR KRST
INTO CENTRAL UPPER MICHIGAN WHICH SEPARATES THE SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR
NEAR MINNEAPOLIS. TO THE WEST...ANOTHER WARM FRONT IS PRESENT FROM
NORTHWEST IOWA TO A SURFACE LOW NEAR PHILLIPS SOUTH DAKOTA...
ASSOCIATED WITH THE MONTANA TROUGH. DYNAMICALLY FORCED CONVECTION
HAS BEEN GOING NORTH OF THE LOW.

TONIGHT AND SATURDAY...COMPLICATED FORECAST...DEALING WITH THREE
BOUNDARIES AND HOW CONVECTION WILL EVOLVE ON ALL THREE. THE BOUNDARY
THAT IS OVER THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE CWA AT THE MOMENT MAY
CONVECT EITHER LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR EARLY THIS EVENING AS MLCIN
CONTINUES TO DECREASE. AS OF 20Z...MLCIN IS BETWEEN 25-50 J/KG. THIS
IS IN AGREEMENT WITH THE EASTARW4 MODEL AND THE LOCAL WRF-ARW RUN.
0-6KM SHEAR IS AROUND 30 KNOTS...WHICH WOULD ALLOW FOR
MULTI-CELLULAR CONVECTION. NOT REALLY ANTICIPATING IT TO BECOME
SEVERE IN TERMS OF PRODUCING HAIL OR DAMAGING WINDS...BUT HEAVY RAIN
IS CERTAINLY A PROBLEM GIVEN THE HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER AIRMASS IN
PLACE ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY. HAD THIS BOUNDARY NOT BEEN IN
PLACE WITH THE THREAT OF CONVECTION...WOULD BE TEMPTED TO CANCEL THE
FLOOD WATCH FOR SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA EASTWARD SINCE TRENDS ARE FOR
THE BULK OF HEAVY RAIN TONIGHT STAYING TO THE SOUTH. REGARDING THAT
HEAVY RAIN...PLAN TONIGHT IS TO SEE OTHER CONVECTION DEVELOP ON THE
NORTHWARD MOVING WARM FRONT LIFTING THROUGH THE WEST HALF OF IOWA...
AND OVER EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA ALONG THE OTHER WARM FRONT THERE...
SIMILAR TO THE EASTARW4 AND CANADIAN MODELS WHICH WERE PREFERRED PER
CONFERENCE CALL. CONVECTION THAT DEVELOPS OVER THE WEST HALF OF IOWA
SHOULD TRACK EASTWARD ALONG THE FRONT...PERHAPS BACK-BUILDING AS THE
LOW LEVEL JET INTENSIFIES AHEAD OF THE UPPER TROUGH IN MONTANA
HEADING EAST. UNSURE WHERE CONVECTION WILL ACTUALLY DEVELOP...BUT
CERTAINLY NORTHEAST IOWA AND FAR SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN COULD BE
IMPACTED THIS EVENING...AND WITH HEAVY RAIN. LASTLY...CONVECTION
THAT FIRES OVER EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA THIS EVENING WHICH IS VERY WELL
AGREED UPON BY MODELS WILL TRACK SOUTHEAST...IMPACTING MUCH OF THE
FORECAST AREA EXCEPT PERHAPS TAYLOR COUNTY AFTER MIDNIGHT. COULD BE
A DAMAGING WIND THREAT WITH THE LAST ROUND OF CONVECTION GIVEN
STRONGER SHEAR EXPECTED AND DYNAMICAL SUPPORT. THIS LAST ROUND OF
CONVECTION SHOULD CLEAR OUT THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT AFTER IT MOVES
THROUGH...DUE TO WESTERLY FLOW AND SUBSIDENCE IN ITS WAKE.
STILL...WITH THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE UPPER TROUGHING PROGGED TO
MOVE ACROSS DURING THE DAY SATURDAY... HAVE MAINTAINED 20-40 PERCENT
CHANCES LONGER. A LOT OF THE MESOSCALE MODELS SHOW EITHER SOME LIGHT
LINGERING PRECIPITATION BEHIND THE LAST ROUND OF STORMS...OR DIURNAL
ACTIVITY DURING THE AFTERNOON.

SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...AFTER A LOT OF ACTIVE WEATHER
RECENTLY...ALL MODELS ARE IN AGREEMENT OF A QUIET DRY PERIOD DURING
THIS TIME FRAME. THE DRY PERIOD IS A RESULT OF THE UPPER TROUGH
EXITING THE AREA SATURDAY EVENING...ALLOWING SUBSIDENCE AND SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE TO BUILD IN. IF THERE IS ANY CONCERN DURING THIS
PERIOD IT IS FOG. BIG QUESTION MARK AT THIS POINT IS WINDS FOR BOTH
NIGHTS. IN THE CASE OF SATURDAY NIGHT...HIGH PRESSURE IS MOVING OVER
THE AREA DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. FOR NOW WENT WITH PATCHY FOG
EVERYWHERE AND WIDESPREAD FOG IN THE WISCONSIN RIVER VALLEY...DUE TO
RECENT RAINS. LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO LOOK AT THE FOG MORE. WITH
SUNDAY NIGHT...RETURN FLOW IS SETTING UP AS THE HIGH SLIDES OFF TO
THE EAST. MAY NEED THE FOG MENTION...PRIMARILY OVER EASTERN AREAS.
EITHER WAY...BOTH NIGHTS LOOK COOLER WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES
DOWN AROUND 1 INCH. FOLLOWED FAIRLY CLOSE TO MAV GUIDANCE FOR
TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE PERIOD.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

MODELS AND ENSEMBLES REMAIN IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE UPPER LEVEL
PATTERN THROUGH THURSDAY...THEN BEGIN TO DIFFER. THROUGH
THURSDAY...RIDGING OVER THE SOUTHEAST U.S. GRADUALLY SHIFTS WEST
INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS...WHILE WEAK RIDGING OVER THE GREAT LAKES
IS REPLACED WITH TROUGHING. AFTER THURSDAY...THE ECMWF AND SOME OF
THE 00Z GFS ENSEMBLES SUGGEST THE RIDGING OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
WILL CONTINUE MARCHING WEST TOWARDS THE SOUTHWEST U.S....WHILE THE
06Z GFS AND OTHER 00Z GFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS SHOW RIDGING BUILDING UP
THROUGH THE NORTHERN PLAINS. HPC PREFERENCE WAS TO FOLLOW MORE
TOWARDS THE ECMWF CAMP...AND THIS FORECAST WILL FOLLOW SUIT.

REGARDING THE DETAILS...MONDAY STILL LOOKS DRY WITH HIGH PRESSURE IN
PLACE. HOWEVER...IT APPEARS SOME CHANCES OF RAIN MAY BE REQUIRED FOR
MONDAY NIGHT IN THE RETURN FLOW AROUND THE HIGH PRESSURE AREA. THE
CHANCES OF RAIN ARE CONFINED TO AREAS SOUTH OF I-90...WHERE THE
23.06Z GFS...23.00Z CANADIAN AND 23.00Z ECMWF DEPICT A SHORTWAVE
MOVING AROUND THE WESTWARD MOVING UPPER RIDGE. NOTE THAT THE NEW
23.12Z ECMWF DECIDED TO DAMPEN OUT THE SHORTWAVE NOW AND THEREFORE
NO LONGER SHOWS PRECIPITATION. FOR NOW HAVE MAINTAINED THE
INTRODUCED CHANCES OF RAIN SINCE SOME SIGNAL EXISTED YESTERDAY. WITH
RETURN FLOW PERSISTING ON TUESDAY SOUTH OF A COLD FRONT DROPPING
DOWN THROUGH NORTHERN MINNESOTA... COMBINED WITH BUILDING
INSTABILITY...HAVE MAINTAINED THE GOING LOW CHANCES OF
PRECIPITATION. BETTER CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION ARE STILL EXPECTED
TUESDAY NIGHT ALONG AND NORTH OF I-90...THEN ACROSS THE FORECAST
AREA FOR WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS THE FRONT DROPS SOUTH AND
STALLS SOMEWHERE AROUND THE I-90 CORRIDOR. FOR THURSDAY... ANOTHER
SHORTWAVE IS NOTED TO CROSS NORTH DAKOTA...TOPPING THE WESTWARD
MOVING RIDGE. THIS SHORTWAVE MAY HELP TO BRING THE FRONT NORTHWARD
SOME AS LOW PRESSURE SLIDES INTO SOUTHERN MINNESOTA. FOR NOW...HAVE
KEPT CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION ALL ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA DUE TO
DISTANCE IN TIME IN THE FORECAST...BUT MAY ONLY BE NEEDED LATER ON
FOR AREAS OUTSIDE OF IOWA. CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
CONTINUE THURSDAY NIGHT AS THE LOW PRESSURE AREA AND FRONT DROP
SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA...THEN WENT WITH A DRY FORECAST ON FRIDAY AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN.

TEMPERATURES FOR MUCH OF THE PERIOD LOOK TO STAY AT OR ABOVE NORMAL
UNTIL FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY ACROSS NORTHEAST IOWA.

&&

.AVIATION...TODAY AND TONIGHT

A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL LINGER NEAR THE INTERSTATE 90 CORRIDOR THIS
EVENING. THIS WILL GREATLY AFFECT THE WIND DIRECTION IN THESE AREAS.
HOWEVER WITH WINDS GENERALLY LESS THAN 10 KNOTS...IT SHOULD HAVE
LITTLE AVIATION IMPACT. AS A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES OUT OF SOUTH
DAKOTA LATER THIS EVENING...SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP ALONG THIS BOUNDARY. AT THIS TIME...IT LOOKS LIKE THIS
SHOULD OCCUR BETWEEN 24.03Z AND 24.06Z ACROSS SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA
AND NORTHEAST IOWA...AND FROM 23.04Z AND 24.07Z ACROSS WESTERN
WISCONSIN.

CEILINGS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME VFR LATE THIS EVENING...AND THEN
BECOME MVFR. THESE LOWER CEILINGS WILL LIKELY LINGER THROUGH
SATURDAY MORNING...AND THEN BECOME VFR DURING THE AFTERNOON.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING

A COUPLE OF ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE TONIGHT...WITH THE
BEST CHANCE OF WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINFALL EXPECTED FROM LATE THIS
EVENING INTO AFTER MIDNIGHT AS AN MCS COMES OUT OF THE DAKOTAS. AREA
MOST LIKELY TO SEE HEAVY RAIN IS NORTHEAST IOWA AND FAR SOUTHWEST
WISCONSIN...WHICH COULD SEE THUNDERSTORMS TRAIN FOR A WHILE LATE
THIS EVENING. STILL...MAINTAINED THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN THE SAME
AREA AS CONVECTION COULD FIRE UP THIS EVENING OVER SOUTHEAST
MINNESOTA INTO CENTRAL WISCONSIN ALONG A BOUNDARY. THOUGHT ABOUT
EXTENDING THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH PAST 12Z...BUT MODELS ARE IN
AGREEMENT THAT THE MAJORITY OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE EAST OR SOUTH
OF THE FORECAST AREA.

NOTE...GIVEN EXTREMELY HEAVY RAIN FROM FAYETTE TO GRANT COUNTIES...
ANY RAIN ON THESE COUNTIES WILL LIKELY TURN TO FLASH FLOODING
QUICKLY.

PLEASE SEE THE LATEST RIVER STATEMENTS AND FLOOD WARNINGS FOR THE
LATEST ON RIVERS.
