What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS La Crosse, WI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Jul 1, 3:11 PM CDT, 6 hours 51 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 1, 3:11 PM CDT, 6 hours 51 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
311 PM CDT FRI JUL 1 2011

.SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH MONDAY

THE MAIN FOCUS OF THIS FORECAST PACKAGE IS ON THE NEAR TERM
TONIGHT WITH THE CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS AS A COLD FRONT COMES
THROUGH AND BRINGS SOME MUCH NEEDED RELIEF TO END THE SHORT HOT
SPELL.

EXTREMELY HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS HAVE TAKEN OVER MUCH OF THE
REGION WITH TEMPERATURES GOING ABOVE 90 BY NOON WITH HEAT INDICES
WELL OVER 100 ACROSS WESTERN WISCONSIN...SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA AND
MOST OF IOWA. THIS EXTREME HEAT WILL COME TO AN END TONIGHT AS A
COLD FRONT...CURRENTLY ACROSS CENTRAL MINNESOTA DOWN INTO EASTERN
NEBRASKA...SWEEPS THROUGH. THE COMBINATION OF HEAT AT THE SURFACE
COMBINED WITH COOLING TEMPERATURES ALOFT DUE TO A MID LEVEL TROUGH
OFF TO THE WEST HAS LEAD TO A HIGHLY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT ACROSS
THE WARM SECTOR. RUC ANALYSIS SHOWS 3000 TO 6000 J/KG OF SBCAPE
ALONG THE COLD FRONT IN SOUTH CENTRAL MINNESOTA RUNNING NORTHEAST
TOWARD THE UPPER PENINSULA OF MICHIGAN. HOWEVER...THE ATMOSPHERE
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA IS CURRENTLY VERY CAPPED AS EVIDENCED BY
01.12Z REGIONAL SOUNDINGS AND 01.18Z RUC/LAPS SOUNDINGS. THESE
SOUNDINGS SHOW THE MAIN CAPPING OCCURRING IN THE 850-700MB LAYER
WITH MAX WARM LAYER TEMPERATURES OF 20C TO 26C. HOW STRONG THIS
CAP REMAINS THROUGH THE EVENING WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR WHETHER ANY
CONVECTION WILL BE ABLE TO GO ACROSS THE REGION TONIGHT.

THE MAIN FORCING FOR TONIGHT WILL COME FROM A COMPACT MID LEVEL
SHORT WAVE TROUGH CURRENTLY IN NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA AND SOUTH
CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA. THIS FEATURE IS EXPECTED TO TRACK FROM
SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA TOWARD NORTHWEST WISCONSIN TONIGHT WITH THE
BEST SYNOPTIC SCALE LIFT OCCURRING ALONG THIS PV TRACK. MUCH OF
THE PRECIPITATION THAT IS CURRENTLY TAKING PLACE WITH THIS SYSTEM
IS AHEAD OF THE TROUGH BUT BACK IN THE COOL SECTOR. THE REGIONS
BEST CHANCES FOR GETTING ANY CONVECTION TONIGHT WILL BE WITH THE
COLD FRONT SWINGING THROUGH AS THE TRIGGER. THE LATEST 01.18Z RUC
FORECAST SOUNDINGS APPEAR TO KEEP THE REGION WELL CAPPED THROUGH
6Z WHILE THE 01.12Z NAM AND GFS DEVELOP SOME PRECIPITATION RIGHT
ALONG THE COLD FRONT WHERE THE CAP WEAKENS. THE 01.12Z NAM HAS A
LARGE CLUSTER OF CONVECTION THAT SHOULD ALREADY BE DOWN THROUGH
CENTRAL WISCONSIN...BUT THIS IS AN OBVIOUS ERROR IN THE MODEL WITH
SKIES CLEAR ACROSS NORTHERN WISCONSIN AT THE MOMENT.

WHETHER OR NOT ANY OF THESE STORMS BECOME SEVERE IS ANOTHER
QUESTION. THE 01.18Z RUC SHOWS OVER 2500 J/KG OF 0-3KM CAPE
PERSISTING ACROSS THE WARM SECTOR THROUGH TONIGHT WHILE WIND SHEAR
IS THE STRONGEST IN THE 0-3KM COLUMN AT 25 TO 35 KTS. THIS WOULD
SUGGEST THAT THE MAIN STORM MODE WOULD BE WITH MULTICELL CLUSTERS
AND BOWING SEGMENTS THAT WOULD CAUSE SOME STRONG STRAIGHTLINE
WINDS. WITH THE HIGH INSTABILITY PERSISTING...SOME LARGE HAIL CAN
NOT BE RULED OUT EITHER. THIS AGAIN IS CONDITIONAL UPON STORMS
DEVELOPING WITH THE GREATER THREAT TO THE WEST ACROSS SOUTHEAST
MINNESOTA AND NORTHEAST IOWA WITH A WEAKENING TREND EXPECTED AS
THEY CROSS INTO WISCONSIN.

AFTER THE FRONT MOVES THROUGH TONIGHT...A BROAD RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE WILL SETTLE IN ACROSS THE REGION AS THE FLOW BECOMES MORE
ZONAL ALOFT. TEMPERATURES WILL BECOME MORE SEASONAL WITH HIGHS
STAYING IN THE 80S. A MID LEVEL SHORT WAVE TROUGH IS FORECAST TO
TRACK TO THE SOUTH OF THE REGION ON SUNDAY NIGHT WHICH MAY BRING
SOME PRECIPITATION ACROSS THIS AREA. BEYOND THIS...THE WEATHER
LOOKS QUIET GOING INTO THE 4TH WITH SURFACE RIDGING IN PLACE.

.LONG TERM...MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY

THE MAIN FEATURE OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD IS WITH A COLD FRONT THAT
SLOWLY DROPS SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE REGION TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG AND AHEAD
OF THIS FRONT BEFORE IT DROPS TO THE SOUTH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WENT
ALONG THE LINES OF THE 01.12Z ECMWF AS OPPOSED TO THE THE 01.12Z
GFS FROM THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY WITH BRINGING THE FRONT FURTHER TO
THE SOUTH WHILE KEEPING THE REGION DRY. THE 01.12Z GFS TRIES TO
PAINT SOME QPF ACROSS THE REGION EACH DAY BUT THERE DOES NOT
APPEAR TO BE MUCH IN THE WAY OF FORCING AVAILABLE.

&&

.AVIATION...LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY

CURRENTLY WATCHING A COLD FRONT MOVING SLOWLY EASTWARD ACROSS MN
TOWARD THE AREA. EXPECT THIS COLD FRONT TO MAKE PASSAGE ACROSS THE
TAF SITES THIS EVENING FOR A CHANCE OF SHRA/TS. VFR CONDITIONS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THIS AFTERNOON INTO
EARLY THIS EVENING AS A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE/WARM AIR ALOFT KEEPS
A LID ON CONVECTION. THIS WARM AIR ALOFT...OR CAP...MAY BE A
MITIGATING FACTOR ON CONVECTION ACTUALLY REACHING THE TAF SITES. IN
FACT...A FEW OF THE NEW MODELS COMING IN THIS AFTERNOON HAVE
CONVECTION GOING NORTH OF THE TAF SITES THIS EVENING TIED CLOSER TO
A MID-LEVEL DISTURBANCE. WILL HAVE TO MONITOR RADAR/SATELLITE TRENDS
CLOSELY OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. 18Z TAFS WERE WEIGHTED MORE
TOWARD EARLIER MODEL OUTPUT THAT INDICATED ROBUST CONVECTION FIRING
FURTHER SOUTH ALONG THE COLD FRONT WHICH WOULD REACH THE TAF SITES.

BASED ON THE MORNING OUTPUT...HAD CONVECTION REACHING THE KRST SITE
AROUND 02Z AND THE KLSE TAF SITE BY 04Z WITH CIG/VIS EXPECTED TO
TEMPORARILY LOWER INTO MVFR RANGE IN THIS SHRA/TS ACTIVITY. SHRA/TS
THREAT EXPECTED TO SHIFT EAST OF THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT. MODELS
ALSO INDICATING SOME POST-FRONTAL MVFR STRATUS/STRATOCUMULUS
SPREADING INTO THE AREA IN THE 09-13Z TIME FRAME ALONG WITH
INCREASING NORTHWEST WINDS. VFR CONDITIONS THEN EXPECTED FOR THE
REMAINDER OF SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN FROM THE NORTHERN
PLAINS.

WILL PASS LATEST MODEL TRENDS FOR THE POTENTIAL OF LESS CONVECTION
FOR THE TAF SITES ONTO THE EVENING FORECASTER FOR FURTHER ASSESSMENT
FOR THE 02.00Z TAF ISSUANCE.
