AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
1214 PM CDT TUE JUN 26 2012

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY
300 AM CDT TUE JUN 26 2012

MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS REMAIN ON SUMMER WARMTH WEDNESDAY INTO
THURSDAY...ALONG WITH SLIGHT CHANCES FOR THUNDERSTORMS ON
THURSDAY.

LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWED AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE STRETCHING
FROM THE SOUTHERN/CENTRAL PLAINS NORTH THROUGH THE DAKOTAS INTO
MANITOBA. THUNDERSTORMS WERE ONGOING OVER NORTH CENTRAL SOUTH
DAKOTA...WITH ABUNDANT MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS BLOWING OFF OF
THESE STORMS MOVING EAST TOWARD THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER
VALLEY.

THE MAIN FOCUS ON THE FORECAST FOR TODAY WILL BE ON CLOUD
COVER...REMNANTS OF THE EVENING/OVERNIGHT THUNDERSTORM OVER SOUTH
DAKOTA. THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL EDGE EAST INTO THE UPPER
MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY TODAY. THE CLOUDS WILL BE PUSHING INTO THIS
RIDGE SO WOULD EXPECT TO SEE SOME THINNING AS THEY MOVE EASTWARD.
THINKING A BROKEN TO SCATTERED DECK WILL MAKE IT INTO THE FORECAST
AREA TODAY SO WILL BE INCREASING CLOUD COVER. SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE...CENTERED OVER NORTHEAST WISCONSIN...WILL DRIFT SOUTH
TODAY AS A SURFACE TROUGH MOVES INTO THE CENTRAL DAKOTAS. THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL GRADUALLY TIGHTEN ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA
TODAY WITH WINDS SWITCHING TO THE SOUTH/SOUTHEAST. BY THIS
AFTERNOON...PLAN ON WIND SPEEDS OF 10 TO 20 MPH ACROSS THE OPEN
AREAS OF SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA INTO NORTHEAST IOWA. WINDS SPEEDS OF 8
TO 13 MPH CAN BE EXPECTED ACROSS MUCH OF WESTERN THROUGH CENTRAL
WISCONSIN...WHERE THE GRADIENT WILL REMAIN SOMEWHAT SLACK THROUGH
EARLY AFTERNOON. LOOK FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY TO RANGE FROM THE
UPPER 70S ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN TO THE LOWER 80S OVER
NORTHEAST IOWA.

UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AXIS WILL SLIDE OVER THE FORECAST AREA TONIGHT
WITH WARM SOUTHERLY FLOW IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION. IT WILL BE A
BREEZY NIGHT WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER...WITH SOUTH WINDS IN
THE 10 TO 17 MPH RANGE. THIS SHOULD HELP HOLD TEMPERATURES UP
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. PLAN ON LOW TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM
THE UPPER 60S OVER PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA INTO NORTHEAST
IOWA...TO THE UPPER 50S ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN.

WEDNESDAY IS SHAPING UP TO BE A HOT DAY AND EVEN SOMEWHAT MUGGY
ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA INTO NORTHEAST IOWA. THE
SURFACE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO PUSH INTO WESTERN MINNESOTA BY
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON WITH DEW POINTS INCREASING ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL
IOWA THROUGH CENTRAL/EASTERN MINNESOTA...AIDED BY EVAPOTRANSPIRATION
OVER CENTRAL MINNESOTA. SHOULD SEE THIS PLUME OF HIGHER DEW POINTS
EDGE INTO LOCATIONS WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER LEADING TO HEAT
INDEX CONCERNS. HEAT INDEX VALUES ALONG AND WEST OF THE
MISSISSIPPI WILL LIKELY CLIMB INTO THE 100-105 DEGREE RANGE
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. 850 MB TEMPERATURE STANDARDIZED ANOMALIES OFF
OF THE ECMWF CONTINUE TO INDICATE VALUES OF PLUS 2 TO PLUS 2.5
ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN...SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA...INTO
NORTHEAST IOWA. THEN NAM AND GEFS AGREE WITH THESE VALUES.
PRECIPITABLE WATER ANOMALIES ARE HOVERING AROUND PLUS 1 THROUGH
THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY. HEAT ADVISORIES WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED. PLAN
ON HIGHS RANGING FROM THE UPPER 80S TO AROUND 90 ACROSS NORTH
CENTRAL WISCONSIN TO THE UPPER 90S OVER NORTHEAST IOWA.

A COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY SLIDE SOUTH ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA ON
TUESDAY. MEANWHILE A WEAK SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO MOVE
ACROSS THE AREA...MAINLY DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS. FORECAST
SOUNDINGS SHOW A STRONG CAP IN PLACE ACROSS THE AREA.
HOWEVER...THERE APPEARS TO BE ELEVATED CAPE. LIFTING FROM 625 MB
YIELDS AROUND 300 J/KG CAPE. COULD SEE SOME HIGH BASED THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOP AS THE WAVE MOVES THROUGH. THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT
SOME OF THE STORMS MAY ONLY PRODUCE A LIGHT SPRINKLE OR COULD EVEN
BE DRY WITH SUCH A DRY SUB CLOUD LAYER OVER THE AREA. PLAN ON HIGH
TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM THE MID 80S ACROSS NORTHERN
WISCONSIN...WHERE THE FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH EARLIER IN THE
DAY...TO THE MID 90S ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST IOWA INTO FAR
SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN. WILL HAVE TO KEEP A CLOSE WATCH ON HEAT INDEX
VALUES AHEAD OF THE FRONT. CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
WILL SHIFT TO ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 90 THURSDAY NIGHT AS
THE FRONT CONTINUES TO DRIFT SOUTH. THE RIDGE AXIS WILL SHIFT
SOUTHEAST OF THE REGION AND FLATTEN THURSDAY NIGHT...SETTING THE
STAGE FOR SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES ON FRIDAY.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY
300 AM CDT TUE JUN 26 2012

26.00 MEDIUM RANGE MODELS SHOW WARM AIR REMAINING IN PLACE ACROSS
MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT. 850 MB
TEMPERATURES ONLY COOL TO AROUND 22 C. THE BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO
STALL OVER CENTRAL IOWA THROUGH CENTRAL ILLINOIS. WEAK EMBEDDED
SHORTWAVES WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA LATE FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH
SUNDAY BRINGING LOW CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO THE
REGION. PLAN ON HIGHS THIS WEEKEND RANGING FROM THE MID 80S ACROSS
NORTHERN WISCONSIN TO THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S ACROSS PORTIONS OF
NORTHEAST IOWA INTO FAR SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN. ANOTHER RIDGE LOOKS TO
BUILD ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS ON SUNDAY. THE RIDGE IS EXPECTED TO
EDGE EAST TOWARD THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY ON MONDAY WITH
TEMPERATURES WARMING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. PLAN ON HIGHS ON
MONDAY IN THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S.

&&

.AVIATION...THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY
1214 PM CDT TUE JUN 26 2012

VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE PERIOD AS HIGH PRESSURE
CURRENTLY CENTERED OVER SOUTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN DRIFTS SOUTHEAST.
SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL GUST TO AROUND 20 KTS THIS AFTERNOON AND
BROKEN 15 KFT DECK WILL SPILL OVER THE AREA THANKS TO REMNANT
OVERNIGHT CONVECTION. STRONG 850 MB JET POSITIONS ITSELF ACROSS THE
AREA BY 12Z WEDNESDAY AND THIS INTRODUCES SOME CONCERN FOR LLWS
OVERNIGHT. MOST OF THE GUIDANCE KEEPS SURFACE WINDS SUFFICIENTLY
ELEVATED / 10 TO 15 KTS / TO REMAIN BELOW CRITERIA BUT WILL NEED
TO MONITOR CLOSELY IN LATER FORECASTS. BREEZY SOUTHERLY WINDS
WILL PERSIST WEDNESDAY...WITH HIGH LEVEL CIRRUS OCCASIONALLY
MOVING OVER TAF SITES.
