AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
323 PM CDT WED AUG 21 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 323 PM CDT WED AUG 21 2013

MAIN FOCUS WILL BE ON THE FRONTAL PASSAGE TONIGHT AND THE
ASSOCIATED RAIN CHANCES.

COLD FRONT EXTENDS FROM NORTHERN WISCONSIN INTO NORTHEAST NEBRASKA
AT MID AFTERNOON. REGIONAL RADARS SHOW CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY ALONG
THE FRONT FROM NORTHERN WISCONSIN ACROSS MINNESOTA.

WATER VAPOR SATELLITE SHOWS THE MAIN SHORT WAVE TROUGH IS ALONG
THE CANADIAN BORDER MOVING INTO ONTARIO WITH A SECONDARY WAVE OVER
CENTRAL MINNESOTA. THE BEST PV ADVECTION IN THE 500-300 MB LAYER
WILL STAY TO THE NORTH OF THE AREA TONIGHT BUT THE EXPECTATION IS
THAT THE WAVE OVER MINNESOTA WILL PROVIDE JUST ENOUGH FORCING TO
HELP MAINTAIN THE CONVECTION ALONG THE FRONT AS IT COMES THROUGH.
ML CAPES AHEAD OF THE FRONT CURRENTLY ARE AROUND 3000 J/KG AND
WHILE THESE WILL DECREASE THROUGH THE EVENING WITH THE LOSS OF
HEATING...THE 21.18Z NAM INDICATES THESE WILL STAY AT OR ABOVE
1500 J/KG THROUGH THE EVENING AHEAD OF THE FRONT. THE BEST 0-6KM
SHEAR WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE AREA CLOSER TO THE MAIN SHORT WAVE
TROUGH. HOWEVER...THE 0-3KM SHEAR WILL BE AROUND 30 KNOTS AND WILL
BE MORE THAN SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT SOME SEVERE STORMS THROUGH THE
EVENING. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS STILL LOOK TO BE THE MAIN
THREATS. WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THE CURRENT ACTIVITY
SOUTH OF THE TWIN CITIES EVOLVES THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE
AFTERNOON. THE 21.18Z RAP BUFKIT SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THE CAP IN
PLACE BETWEEN 750 AND 800 MB AT KRST WILL HOLD TIGHT UNTIL THE
FRONT MOVES THROUGH. IF THIS HAPPENS...THE ACTIVITY TO THE WEST
SHOULD DIMINISH AS IT MOVES IN AND THIS IS WHAT SEVERAL OF THE
SHORT RANGE MESO MODELS SUGGESTS. BASED ON THIS...HAVE TRIMMED
BACK THE RAIN CHANCES HEADING THROUGH THE EVENING ACROSS THE
WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. FARTHER EAST...THE CAP IS
WEAKER AND IS EXPECTED TO ERODE AS THE FRONT MOVES IN...SO HAVE
MAINTAINED THE 60 TO 80 PERCENT CHANCES EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.

ALL THE MODELS ALSO SUGGEST THE FRONT AND CONVECTION WILL MOVE
THROUGH PRETTY QUICK THIS EVENING TO THE POINT THAT MOST IF NOT
ALL OF THE FORECAST AREA SHOULD BE DRY BY 06Z. THUS SPED UP THE
FORECAST TO REFLECT THIS FASTER TIMING WITH JUST SOME 20 TO 40
PERCENT RAIN CHANCES ACROSS THE SOUTH FOR AFTER MIDNIGHT. HAVE
HELD ON TO SOME SMALL RAIN CHANCES ACROSS THE SOUTH FOR THURSDAY
MORNING. ALL THE MODELS INDICATE A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX WILL DEVELOP
ACROSS NEBRASKA THIS EVENING AND THEN MOVE EAST ALONG THE FRONT
TOWARD THE AREA OVERNIGHT WITH SOME SUGGESTIONS THAT THE NORTHERN
PART OF THE COMPLEX COULD SLIDE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE
AREA. OTHERWISE FOR THURSDAY...HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE IN FROM THE
NORTH WITH MUCH DRIER AIR SPREADING IN. NAM BUFKIT SOUNDING ACROSS
THE NORTHERN SECTIONS SHOW GOOD SUBSIDENCE OCCURRING AND WITH LOTS
OF DRY ALOFT TO MIX DOWN...DEW POINTS ARE EXPECTED TO DROP INTO
THE 40S FOR THE AFTERNOON. THIS HIGH WILL REMAIN THE DOMINANT
FEATURE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SHORT TERM HELPING TO KEEP
TEMPERATURES CLOSER TO NORMAL THROUGH FRIDAY WITH HIGHS IN THE
UPPER 70S TO LOWER 80S.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 323 PM CDT WED AUG 21 2013

CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY IN THE EXTENDED IN REGARDS TO THE RAIN
CHANCES. THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL BE ANCHORED OVER THE CENTRAL
PART OF THE COUNTRY WITH ALL THE MODELS SHOWING SHORT WAVE TROUGHS
EXPECTED TO RIDE UP THE BACK SIDE AND OVER THE TOP OF THE RIDGE.
AT THE SURFACE...THE EXPECTATION IS THAT A WEAK SURFACE BOUNDARY
WILL APPROACH FROM THE WEST SATURDAY BUT STALL OUT AND BECOME
NEARLY STATIONARY BEFORE IT REACHES THE AREA. IT SHOULD THEN
WAFFLE NORTH/SOUTH AS SHORT WAVE TROUGHS MOVE AROUND THE RIDGE AND
CAUSE ROUNDS OF CONVECTION TO FORM. THE UNCERTAINTY COMES IN WHERE
THESE COMPLEXES WILL BE AND WHETHER THEY WILL IMPACT THE NORTHERN
PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA OR NOT. AFTER THE INITIAL SHORT WAVE
TROUGH GOES BY SATURDAY WILL GENERALLY LIMIT THE RAIN CHANCES TO
THE I94 CORRIDOR FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD AS THIS
AREA WILL BE CLOSEST TO THE FRONT.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z THURSDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1150 AM CDT WED AUG 21 2013

 A COLD FRONT STRETCHING FROM WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR THROUGH
KMSP/KFSD LATE THIS MORNING WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK SOUTHEAST
THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FORM
ALONG THIS FRONT WITH THE HIGHEST LIKELIHOOD EAST OF THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER. EXPECTING TSRA IN THE VICINITY OF KRST/KLSE
AERODROMES WITH PERHAPS A BRIEF REDUCTION INTO IFR BETWEEN 21-24Z
TIME FRAME. THE FRONT AND ASSOCIATED STORMS ARE THEN EXPECTED TO
SLIP SOUTHEAST OF THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT. LINGERING MID-
LEVEL/VFR CLOUDS WILL LIKELY BE SEEN DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS
INTO THURSDAY MORNING AS THE FRONT HANGS UP ACROSS NORTHERN IL
THROUGH CENTRAL IA. OTHERWISE...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING IN ON
THURSDAY SHOULD KEEP RAIN CHANCES SOUTH OF THE AREA.
