AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
610 PM CDT MON AUG 18 2014

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 315 PM CDT MON AUG 18 2014

FORECAST FOCUS IS ON RAIN TONIGHT AS UPPER SHORT WAVE PASSES
THROUGH THE REGION WITH A WARM AND HUMID AIRMASS IN PLACE. A
CLOSED LOW CUTS OFF OVER THE GREAT LAKES AS THIS WAVE ROUNDS THE
BASE OF THE LONG WAVE TROUGH. WITH WEAKER IMPULSES CIRCULATING
AROUND THE LOW...RAIN CHANCES LINGER INTO TUESDAY AS WELL.

19Z MESOANALYSIS SHOWS UPPER WAVE SPINNING INTO NORTHWEST MN...
HEADING SOUTHEAST. PLUME OF 70+ LOW LEVEL DEWPOINTS FROM EASTERN
IA UP INTO WESTERN WI AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING WAVE. ACTIVE
CONVECTION ONGOING FROM WEST CENTRAL INTO NORTHEAST WI...AND NEW
ACTIVITY GOING UP OVER NORTHEAST IA AND SOUTHEAST MN. ANTICIPATE
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT...WITH PERHAPS A BREAK
FOR A TIME EARLY THIS EVENING AFTER THIS FIRST INITIAL BAND.
PRECIPITABLE WATER SOMEWHAT ELEVATED AND WARM CLOUD DEPTH 3500+
METERS. ANY STORMS WILL BE PRODUCING HEAVY DOWNPOURS. DCAPE
SUGGESTS WIND POTENTIAL AS WELL.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 315 PM CDT MON AUG 18 2014

UPPER LEVEL LOW OVER THE GREAT LAKES SHIFTS EAST ON WEDNESDAY AS
UPPER RIDGING BUILDS INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST. A PATTERN SHIFT TO
MORE SOUTHWEST FLOW TAKES PLACE MID-WEEK WITH A LONG WAVE TROUGH
ESTABLISHING ITSELF OVER THE WESTERN CONUS. EVENTUAL RAIN CHANCES
LATER THIS WEEK...AND THE DEGREE OF WARMING...ARE TIED TO HOW THE
SHORT WAVE TROUGH ENERGY EJECTS NORTHEAST TOWARD OUR REGION.
MEDIUM RANGE MODELS DO SHOW SOME DIFFERENCES IN TIMING OF THESE
IMPULSES...SO CONFIDENCE NOT HIGH. BUT IT DOES APPEAR THE OVERALL
TREND OF WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL COME TO FRUITION. IT HAS
BEEN DRY LATELY...BUT THESE STORMS ONCE AGAIN LOOK TO HAVE
INGREDIENTS FOR HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL. THIS WILL HAVE TO BE
MONITORED AS WE START TO ACCUMULATE SOME RAINFALL ON OUR RECENTLY
DRY SOILS...WILL A FLOOD WATCH EVENTUALLY BE NECESSARY?

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 610 PM CDT MON AUG 18 2014

FIRST ROUND OF AFTERNOON CONVECTION EXPECTED TO PAST BOTH TAF
SITES BY 00Z. HOWEVER...THE NEXT ROUND ALREADY TAKING SHAPE ACROSS
SOUTH CENTRAL MINNESOTA AHEAD OF THE NEXT SHORT WAVE TROUGH. THE
18.21Z HRRR SEEMS TO HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON BOTH OF THESE ROUNDS OF
CONVECTION BRINGING THE NEXT ROUND THROUGH BOTH TAF SITES THIS
EVENING. WILL INCLUDE A TWO HOUR TEMPO GROUP FOR THUNDER WITH MVFR
CONDITIONS. ONCE THIS GOES THROUGH...IT APPEARS THE WIND
SHIFT/COLD FRONT SHOULD COME THROUGH SHORTLY AFTER SWINGING THE
WINDS AROUND TO THE WEST. THE 18.18Z NAM SUGGESTS THAT THERE WILL
BE A DECENT WEST TO NORTHWEST WIND BETWEEN 5 AND 10 KNOTS WITH
WINDS OF 15 TO 20 KNOTS JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE. WHILE THE NAM
WANTS TO SATURATE THE SURFACE AND PRODUCE SOME FOG AND LOW
CEILINGS...CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY BE TOO MUCH WIND FOR THE FOG TO
FORM AND POSSIBLY THE CEILINGS AS WELL. FOR NOW WILL MAINTAIN SOME
CONTINUITY WITH PREVIOUS FORECASTS AND SHOW PREVAILING MVFR
CONDITIONS WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF IFR. ANY FOG AND LOW CEILINGS
THAT DO FORM SHOULD DISSIPATE BY MID MORNING TUESDAY AS THE
SURFACE WINDS INCREASE TO AROUND 10 KNOTS WITH SCATTERED TO SOME
BROKEN VFR CLOUDS EXPECTED FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 315 PM CDT MON AUG 18 2014

SO FAR IN AUGUST...OVERALL IT HAS BEEN QUITE DRY WITH MUCH OF THE
AREA ADDED TO THE ABNORMALLY DRY CATEGORY PER THE DROUGHT MONITOR.
BUT AS WE SAW LAST NIGHT...SLOW MOVING STORMS PRODUCING TORRENTIAL
DOWNPOURS CAN RESULT IN SOME LOCALIZED FLOODING ISSUES. ONCE AGAIN
TONIGHT...WARM CLOUD DEPTH AND ELEVATED PRECIPITABLE WATER
AMOUNTS POINT TO HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL. THIS TREND LOOKS TO
CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK AS WELL. DRY CONDITIONS
INITIALLY WILL ALLOW FOR MUCH OF THIS WATER TO BE UTILIZED BY THE
SOIL AND REPLENISHING STORAGE AREAS. BUT WE WILL HAVE TO MONITOR
THE RAINFALL OVER THE COMING DAYS AND PERHAPS CONSIDER THE NEED
FOR A FLOOD WATCH FOR AREAS THAT SEE REPEATED RAINFALL.
