AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
307 PM CDT MON SEP 6 2010
.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT
MAIN FORECAST CONCERN IS ON SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL TONIGHT AND THEN
WINDS BEHIND THE LOW LATE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY.
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWING A WELL DEFINED MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE
TROUGH OVER WYOMING AND MONTANA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. 18Z SURFACE
ANALYSIS SHOWS A 998 MB LOW OVER EASTERN NEBRASKA...WITH COLD FRONT
EXTENDING BACK THROUGH CENTRAL INTO SOUTHWEST KANSAS. ELEVATED LIGHT
SHOWERS/SPRINKLES IN WARM ADVECTION REGIME PUSHING NORTHEAST ACROSS
THE FORECAST AREA...WITH MORE CONVECTION BACK JUST NORTHWEST OF THE
LOW OVER THE DAKOTAS. VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWING SOME BREAKS
IN THE CLOUDS ACROSS IOWA.
06.12Z DETERMINISTIC MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH THE FORECAST
PERIOD. STILL A LITTER UNCERTAIN HOWEVER ON COVERAGE OF STORMS THIS
EVENING ALONG THE COLD FRONT.
IN THE NEAR TERM...STRONG MID LEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL ROTATE
INTO MINNESOTA THIS EVENING. MEANWHILE...SURFACE LOW OVER NEBRASKA
THIS AFTERNOON WILL LIFT NORTHEAST INTO SOUTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL
MINNESOTA THIS EVENING. RATHER STRONG COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
LOW WILL OCCLUDE THIS EVENING AS IT SWEEPS ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
BETWEEN 00Z-05Z. EXTENSIVE CLOUD TODAY HAS LIMITED INSTABILITIES...
BUT SOME CLEARING ON VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY WORKING ITS WAY
NORTHWARD ACROSS IOWA. ATMOSPHERE INITIALLY CAPPED AS SEEN ON LAPS
SOUNDINGS...BUT EXPECT COOLING ALOFT TO OCCUR WITH CAP BREAKING 23Z-
00Z. FRONT SHOULD BE SITUATED NEAR THE INTERSTATE 35 CORRIDOR AT THAT
TIME. AS LOW LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS BY 00Z..SURFACE DEWPOINTS EXPECTED
TO TO BE NEAR 60 BY THAT TIME...WITH A NARROW BAND OF MIXED LAYER
CAPES OF 1000-2000 J/KG NEAR THE FRONT. PLENTY OF DEEP LAYER
SHEAR...WITH GOOD TURNING IN THE LOWEST LAYERS PER PROXIMITY
HODOGRAPHS NEAR THE FRONT. WITH THE RICH LOW LEVEL MOISTURE
LACKING...WOULD EXPECT A SCATTERED TO BROKEN LINE OF CONVECTION TO
DEVELOP NEAR THE FRONT 23Z-00Z AND MOVE QUICKLY EASTWARD THROUGH THE
FORECAST AREA BETWEEN 00Z-05Z...AS INDICATED BY BOTH THE 06.12Z HRRR
AND 06.12 SPCWRF. GIVEN AMOUNT OF SHEAR STORMS NEAR THE
FRONT WILL BE CAPABLE OF ISOLATED TORNADOES. OTHERWISE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS TO PREDOMINATE THE SEVERE THREAT THOUGH THE EVENING
HOURS.
ONCE THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH...GRADIENT REALLY TIGHTENS IN ITS WAKE.
LAPSE RATES NOT THAT IMPRESSIVE TONIGHT...BUT WILL LIKELY SEE A SOME
LOCATIONS HIT ADVISORY CRITERIA ACROSS THE WEST LATE TONIGHT.
HOWEVER...AS SYSTEM PULLS WAY TUESDAY...LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES
INCREASE AND LIKELY WILL MIX DOWN THOSE 30 TO 40 KNOT WINDS ALOFT.
WILL GO AHEAD AND ISSUE WIND ADVISORY FOR AREAS MAINLY WEST OF THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER FOR LATE TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY AFTERNOON...BUT WILL
HOLD OFF FOR THE AREAS EAST AND LATER SHIFTS CAN EXPAND IT FURTHER
EAST IF NEED BE. AS FOR PRECIPITATION ON TUESDAY...BEST CHANCES WILL
BE ACROSS THE NORTH NEARER THE DEPARTING LOW. WITH THE COLD ADVECTION
IN WAKE OF FRONT ALONG WITH CLOUDS...SHOWERS AND WINDS IT WILL BE A
VERY FALL LIKE DAY TUESDAY WITH TEMPERATURES STRUGGLING TO MAKE IT
OUT OF THE 50S...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS NORTH OF INTESTATE 94.
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE THEN BUILDS IN FOR TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH
DECREASING CLOUDS AND LIGHTER WINDS. MODELS NOW SHOWING RIDGE AXIS
TO REMAIN ACROSS MINNESOTA AND IOWA AND 925MB WINDS TO REMAIN 10 TO
15 KNOTS. CERTAINLY CAN NOT RULE OUT VALLEY FOG...BUT WILL NOT
MENTIONED BASED ON SOMEWHAT STRONGER BOUNDARY LAYER WINDS.
TEMPERATURES TO BE RATHER COOL TUESDAY AS MENTIONED ABOVE...THEN
WARMING FOR WEDNESDAY WITH MORE SUN AND HIGH OVERHEAD. GUIDANCE
TEMPERATURES LOOK REASONABLE AND DID NOT DEVIATE VERY FAR FROM THEM.
.LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY
BIGGEST CONCERN IN THIS TIME FRAME IS HANDLING OF THE DETAILS OF THE
TROUGH EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY OVER THE
WEEKEND. 06.12Z DETERMINISTIC MODEL SOLUTIONS SHOWING SOME SPEED
DIFFERENCES WITH THE SYSTEM AS THE GFS IS THE MORE PROGRESSIVE
SOLUTION VERSUS THE ECMWF. GFS AND GFS ENSEMBLES SHOWING A LITTLE
BETTER CONSISTENCY FROM PREVIOUS RUNS AND HAVE LEANED TOWARDS THESE
SOLUTIONS. UPPER TROUGH TRANSLATES ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS FRIDAY
AND INTO THE GREAT LAKES REGION OVER THE WEEKEND. ASSOCIATED SURFACE
FRONT REMAINS ACROSS WESTERN MINNESOTA ON FRIDAY...BUT GFS DOES SHOW
SOME WARM ADVECTION/MOISTURE TRANSPORT AHEAD OF IT INTO THE
FORECAST AREA. BEST RAIN CHANCES LOOK TO BE FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY...WITH SYSTEM THE CLEARING OUT SATURDAY NIGHT...WITH
RIDGING IN FOR SUNDAY. BY MONDAY...GFS PUSHES A WEAK COLD FRONT INTO
THE AREA...WHILE ECMWF CONTINUES THE RIDGING IN THIS TIME FRAME.
EVEN WITH THE GFS PLACING THE FRONT INTO THE AREA...FORCING AND
MOISTURE LIMITED AND THUS WILL MAINTAIN DRY FORECAST FOR MONDAY.
TEMPERATURES LOOK TO REMAIN NEAR OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE SEASONAL NORMALS.
&&
.AVIATION...TONIGHT AND TUESDAY
MAIN CONCERNS ARE FRONTAL PASSAGE/TSRA CHANCES THIS EVENING THEN
GRADIENT WINDS BEHIND THE FRONT FOR LATER TONIGHT/TUE.
STRONG LOW PRESSURE LIFTING FROM EASTERN NEB TO WEST CENTRAL MN THIS
EVENING WILL PUSH A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE TAF SITES IN THE 01Z-04Z
TIME FRAME THIS EVENING. SCT-BKN LINE OF SHRA/TSRA EXPECTED WITH THE
FRONTAL PASSAGE. IF THE TSRA BECOME ORGANIZED INTO A LINE ALONG THE
FRONT...AS THEY ARE EXPECTED TO...A FEW COULD BE STRONG/SEVERE WITH
STRONG/GUSTY WINDS THE MAIN THREAT. CONVERGENCE/SUBSIDENCE UNDER THE
RIGHT EXIT REGION OF THE 500-300MB JET MAX ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE
500MB TROUGH MAY LIMIT CONVECTION ALONG THE FRONT ALONG/SOUTH OF
I-90 THIS EVENING...KEEPING IT MORE SCT ALONG THE FRONT AS IT
CROSSES THE TAF SITES. DYNAMICS WITH THE STRONG PASSING SHORTWAVE
AND LOW EXPECTED TO OVERCOME THIS AND INCLUDED A 2HR TEMPO PERIOD OF
MVFR CIGS/VSBYS AND WIND 27025G40KT IN KRST/KLSE TAFS IN TSRA WITH
THE FRONTAL PASSAGE. ONCE FRONT GOES BY...GENERAL VFR CONDITIONS
EXPECTED WITH WINDS INCREASING AND GRADUALLY BECOMING WEST AND
NORTHWEST FOR TUE AS THE LOW TRACKS ACROSS LK SUPERIOR. STRONGEST
PRESSURE GRADIENT IS OVER THE AREA TUE MORNING...WITH WINDS IN THE
20-27KT G30-40KT RANGE AT THE TAF SITES FOR MUCH OF THE 09Z-19Z
PERIOD TUE MORNING/AFTERNOON. SEVERAL FM GROUPS IN THE TAFS...MOSTLY
TO DETAIL THE DIRECTION/SPEED CHANGES AS THE STRONG/CHANGING WINDS
IMPACT AIRPORT OPS/RUNWAY USE. WINDS DECREASE FOR LATER TUE
AFTERNOON/NIGHT AS LOW PULLS AWAY AND GRADIENT BEGINS TO RELAX. TAF
SITES EXPECTED TO BE ON SOUTHERN EDGE OF WRAP-AROUND MOISTURE/CLOUDS
ON TUE...WITH BKN/OVC CIGS IN THE VFR RANGE.
