AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
323 PM CDT FRI JUL 15 2011

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS ARE ON HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL TONIGHT ALONG WITH
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THROUGH SATURDAY...FOCUS THEN TURNS TO THE HEAT
WAVE STARTING SUNDAY.

CURRENT RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS
THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON...SOME OF WHICH HAVE PRODUCED HEAVY RAIN
ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA.

THUNDERSTORMS HAVE PRODUCED 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON
ACROSS PORTIONS OF DODGE AND OLMSTED COUNTIES. ANOTHER ROUND OF
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING.
THESE STORMS COULD PRODUCE ANOTHER 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN...WHICH MAY
LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING. THIS ACTIVITY WILL MOVE EAST INTO
WABASHA...WINONA...AND BUFFALO COUNTIES. ANOTHER ROUND OF STORMS ARE
POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT...SO HAVE ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH ACROSS
THESE AREAS THROUGH 12Z SATURDAY.

A SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE FROM NEBRASKA INTO THE UPPER
MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY TONIGHT. THE LOW LEVEL JET IS EXPECTED TO
INCREASE ACROSS SOUTHERN MINNESOTA THROUGH NORTHWEST WISCONSIN
TONIGHT AND WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT. MOISTURE TRANSPORT WILL INCREASE ACROSS THESE AREAS AS
THE JET INCREASES. AN MCS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP ACROSS THIS REGION AS
THE SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH. CORFIDI VECTORS WOULD TAKE ANY MCS
ACTIVITY THAT DEVELOPS SOUTHEAST INTO THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS INTO EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. 1-7 KM BULK SHEAR OF 20
TO 30 KTS...AND MUCAPE VALUES FROM 500 TO 1000 J/KG...SUPPORT A
MARGINAL THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. THE MAIN THREATS FROM THE
STRONGEST STORMS WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN. PRECIPITABLE
WATER VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO 150 TO 200 PERCENT OF
NORMAL TONIGHT...WITH WARM CLOUD DEPTHS INCREASING TO 4.5 KM. THESE
VALUES WILL FAVOR HEAVY RAIN IN ANY THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THAT
DEVELOPS. AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS LOCATIONS NORTH OF INTERSTATE 90
WILL HAVE THE GREATEST CHANCE OF SEEING THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY DURING
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. LOOK FOR LOW TEMPERATURES TO RANGE FORM THE
UPPER 60S ACROSS NORTHERN WISCONSIN TO THE LOWER 70S ACROSS
NORTHEAST IOWA.

15.06 MODELS INDICATING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE EAST OF
THE FORECAST AREA BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO
THE UPPER MIDWEST. 850 MB TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO CLIMB TO 20
TO 22 DEGREES C BY LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH FAIRLY STRONG
CAPPING WORKING INTO THE AREA. MLCIN VALUES OF NEGATIVE 100 TO
NEGATIVE 200 J/KG WILL MOVE IN DURING THIS TIME...EFFECTIVELY
CAPPING THE ATMOSPHERE TO FURTHER CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT. HUMID AIR
WILL SURGE INTO THE AREA SATURDAY INTO SATURDAY NIGHT AS THE WARM
FRONT LIFTS INTO NORTHERN MINNESOTA AND UPPER MICHIGAN. LOOK FOR
OVERNIGHT LOWS TO BE IN THE 70S.

HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS ARE ON TAP FOR SUNDAY. AN EXCESSIVE HEAT
WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH WEDNESDAY
EVENING. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON SUNDAY WILL CLIMB INTO THE LOWER TO
MID 90S...WITH HEAT INDICES OF 105 TO 110 ACROSS MUCH OF THE
FORECAST AREA. AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED
STARTING ON SUNDAY. THE HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO
PERSIST THROUGH MONDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE OVERHEAD. HIGHS WILL ONCE
AGAIN CLIMB INTO THE LOWER TO MID 90S...WITH HEAT INDICES OF 105 TO
115 POSSIBLE. BE PREPARED FOR OPPRESSIVE HEAT LEVELS STARTING
SUNDAY. A SHORTWAVE MOVING AROUND THE RIDGE WILL MOVE ACROSS
NORTHERN WISCONSIN MONDAY NIGHT. THIS WAVE WILL BRING SMALL CHANCES
FOR THUNDERSTORMS FOR LOCATIONS ALONG AND NORTH OF I-94.

.LONG TERM...TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY

15.12 MODELS ARE INDICATING THE OPPRESSIVE HEAT LEVELS WILL LIKELY
PERSIST THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY ATTEMPTS TO SAG
SOUTHWEST ACROSS THE AREA....FROM NORTHERN WISCONSIN...AS THE HIGH
RETROGRADES SLIGHTLY TO THE WEST. THIS BOUNDARY WILL BE THE FOCUS
FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS FLOW ALOFT ATTEMPTS TO GO NORTHWEST.
WILL HAVE TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THE NEXT FEW MODEL RUNS TO
DETERMINE WHAT IMPACT THIS MAY HAVE ON HIGH TEMPERATURES. SLIGHTLY
COOLER TEMPERATURES ARE POSSIBLE THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY AS THE RIDGE
FLATTENS AND A TROUGH MOVES INTO THE CENTRAL CONUS. SHORTWAVES
MOVING ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST WILL BRING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS TO THE FORECAST AREA DURING THIS TIME FRAME. LOOK FOR
HIGH TEMPERATURES TO RANGE FROM THE MID 80S TO LOWER 90S.

.AVIATION...THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY

ONGOING CONVECTION BEING SUSTAINED BY WARM ADVECTION AND A WEAKENING
LOW LEVEL JET. INSTABILITY HIGHEST TO THE WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI
RIVER AND STORMS WEAKEN AS THEY MOVE EAST AND THIS IS EXPECTED TO BE
THE RULE THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON. MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS
EXPECTED...EXCEPT MVFR AND ISOLATED IFR WITHIN THE CONVECTIVE
ELEMENTS.

LOW LEVEL JET/MOISTURE TRANSPORT INCREASE AGAIN THIS EVENING WITH
MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AGAIN OVER MINNESOTA. WOULD EXPECT CONVECTION
