AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
323 AM CDT THU JUN 30 2011
.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY
MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS ARE ON OPPRESSIVE HEAT LEVELS TODAY THROUGH
FRIDAY...FOCUS THEN TURNS TO SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES FRIDAY
NIGHT.
CURRENT RADAR IMAGERY SHOWING SOME RETURNS ACROSS WESTERN THROUGH
CENTRAL WISCONSIN THIS MORNING. THESE RETURNS ARE FROM MID LEVEL
INSTABILITY RESULTING IN ALTOCUMULUS CASTELLANUS...WITH NO
PRECIPITATION BEING REPORTED AT THE SURFACE AT THIS TIME.
THE MID LEVEL INSTABILITY WILL LINGER ACROSS LOCATIONS MAINLY ALONG
AND NORTH OF I-94 EARLY THIS MORNING...SO HAVE KEPT A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST THROUGH 15Z
GIVEN THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM OR TWO. THIS
ACTIVITY WILL QUICKLY SHIFT EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA BRINGING AN
END TO SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES.
UPPER RIDGE WILL MOVE OVER THE REGION TODAY BRINGING HOT AND HUMID
CONDITIONS TO THE FORECAST AREA. A HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT
FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA AND NORTHEAST IOWA. 30.00
MODELS IN AGREEMENT TODAY WITH THE RIDGE AXIS ORIENTED FROM
WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR THROUGH THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. 850 MB
TEMPERATURES OF 23 TO 29 DEGREES C ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE OVER THE
FORECAST AREA TODAY AS THE RIDGE MOVES OVERHEAD. HUMID SOUTHERLY
FLOW WILL INCREASE ACROSS THE AREA TODAY WITH DEWPOINTS CLIMBING
INTO THE UPPER 60S TO LOWER 70S...RESULTING IN HEAT INDEX VALUES
AROUND 100 WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER WHERE THE HOT
TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL BE REALIZED THIS
AFTERNOON. THE REST OF THE FORECAST AREA CAN EXPECT HEAT INDEX
VALUES IN THE UPPER 80S TO MID 90S. BREEZY SOUTHERLY WINDS
COMBINED WITH THE HOT AND HUMID AIRMASS IN PLACE WILL KEEP LOW
TEMPERATURES RATHER WARM OVERNIGHT TONIGHT WITH LOWS IN THE MID
70S.
FRIDAY WILL BE A HOT AND HUMID DAY ACROSS THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA.
GUIDANCE HAS BEEN TRENDING WARMER THE LAST FEW RUNS...AND HAS BEEN A
LITTLE COOL ON HIGH TEMPERATURES THE PAST FEW DAYS. IN
ADDITION...30.00 MODELS HAVE SLOWED THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT
UNTIL FRIDAY EVENING. USED A CONSENSUS MODEL BLEND FOR HIGH
TEMPERATURES ON FRIDAY RESULTING IN HIGHS IN THE MID 90S TO AROUND
100. THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY REGARDING HOW MUCH MIXING WILL TAKE
PLACE ON FRIDAY WHICH MAY DRY DEWPOINTS A FEW DEGREES. GIVEN THE
SOURCE REGION OF THE AIR MASS AND EVAPOTRANSPIRATION...WE SHOULD SEE
DEWPOINTS CLIMB IN INTO THE LOWER TO MID 70S RESULTING IN HEAT INDEX
VALUES OF 100 TO 109 STARTING AROUND NOON AND PERSISTING THROUGH
EARLY FRIDAY EVENING. DECIDED TO ISSUE A HEAT ADVISORY FOR THE
ENTIRE FORECAST AREA FROM 12 PM FRIDAY AND ENDING AT 8 PM FRIDAY
EVENING. THE COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION
FRIDAY EVENING BRINGING A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
TO THE AREA. RATHER WEAK CONVERGENCE ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF THE
FRONT...AND THE ATMOSPHERE WILL BE CAPPED AHEAD OF THE FRONT WITH
MLCIN VALUES IN THE NEGATIVE 100-200 J/KG RANGE. THE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY BE POST FRONTAL...SO HAVE ADJUSTED
PRECIPITATION CHANCES TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS. DRIER AIR WILL FILTER
INTO THE AREA BEHIND THE FRONT DROPPING DEWPOINTS BACK INTO THE MID
50S TO MID 60S LATE FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. LOOK FOR LOW
TEMPERATURES TO RANGE FROM THE LOWER 60S ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL
WISCONSIN TO THE UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70 ACROSS NORTHEAST IOWA AND
FAR SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN.
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA ON SATURDAY WITH 850
MB TEMPERATURES FALLING INTO THE 15 TO 18 DEGREES C
RANGE...RESULTING IN HIGH TEMPERATURES GENERALLY IN THE 80S. A FEW
LOCATIONS ALONG THE RIVER VALLEYS MAY CLIMB TO AROUND 90 DURING
THE AFTERNOON HOURS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN CONTROL SATURDAY
NIGHT PROVIDING MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND LOW TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW
TO MID 60S.
.LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY
30.00 MEDIUM RANGE MODELS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON SUNDAY INDICATING
NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT ACROSS THE REGION. WEAK EMBEDDED SHORTWAVES
WILL BRING SMALL CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO LOCATIONS
MAINLY WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. ANOTHER SHORTWAVE IS EXPECTED
TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION ON INDEPENDENCE DAY AND COULD GENERATE A
FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE GFS GENERATES SOME PRECIPITATION
ACROSS THE AREA ON MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT WHILE THE ECMWF IS DRY
AND SO IS THE GEM. WILL KEEP A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME...BUT THE NEXT SHIFT MAY
BE ABLE TO GO DRY THIS PERIOD WITH MORE MODELS COMING INTO
AGREEMENT THAT SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL KEEP THE REGION DRY.
TIMING AND STRENGTH DIFFERENCES NOTED IN THE MODELS TUESDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY REGARDING THE PASSAGE OF A SHORTWAVE TROUGH. WILL GO
WITH A MODEL CONSENSUS BLEND...KEEPING LOW PRECIPITATION CHANCES
ACROSS NORTHEAST IOWA AND FAR SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN ON TUESDAY...THEN
ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA TUESDAY NIGHT WITH THE PASSAGE OF
THE SHORTWAVE. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY LINGER ACROSS EXTREME
NORTHEAST IOWA AND FAR SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN WEDNESDAY BEFORE THE
WAVE EXITS THE AREA.
&&
.AVIATION...TODAY AND TONIGHT
MAIN CONCERN IN THE AVIATION FORECAST IS THIS MORNING WITH POTENTIAL
FOR SOME MVFR BR AND STRATUS THAT COULD IMPACT THE TAF SITES...
ASSOCIATED WITH MORE HUMID AIR MOVING IN FROM THE PLAINS. AS OF
EARLY THIS MORNING...THERE WAS A BAND OF SCT-BKN MVFR STRATUS NEAR
I-35. THIS BAND OF STRATUS SHOULD CROSS THE TAF SITES THROUGH THE
MORNING. MODEL SOUNDINGS ARE NOT THAT IMPRESSIVE...ESPECIALLY AT
KLSE...AND SUGGEST THE BAND SHOULD GO THROUGH AS A SCATTERED DECK.
KEPT SOME MVFR HZ IN AT KRST TO ACCOUNT FOR THE HUMIDITY MOVING IN.
AFTER THE CLOUDS MIX INTO A SCATTERED VFR DECK EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON...EXPECT MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH TONIGHT. COULD SEE
SOME REDEVELOPMENT OF MVFR HZ AT BOTH TAF SITES TONIGHT DUE TO THE
HUMID AIR IN PLACE...HOWEVER.
OTHER CONCERN TO THE AVIATION FORECAST IS WINDS THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT. SOUTH WINDS SHOULD PICK UP WITH GUSTS OF 20-25 KT THIS
AFTERNOON. EXPECT DIURNAL COOLING THIS EVENING TO END THE GUSTS...
BUT THEN POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR AS A LOW LEVEL
JET INCREASES BETWEEN 1000-3000 FT. RIGHT NOW IT APPEARS THE SHEAR
DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH SPEED INCREASE WITH HEIGHT TO WARRANT IT IN THE
TAFS...BUT WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED FOR FUTURE FORECASTS.
