AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
1244 PM CDT SUN JUN 1 2014

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 248 AM CDT SUN JUN 1 2014

THE MAIN FORECAST ISSUE IS WITH THE RAIN CHANCES THROUGH THE
PERIOD.

LOCAL AND REGIONAL RADARS SHOWING ONGOING CONVECTION FROM
SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA ACROSS MINNESOTA INTO NORTHWEST WISCONSIN
WITH ANOTHER AREA NORTH/SOUTH THROUGH CENTRAL WISCONSIN.

THE ONGOING CONVECTION WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE
MORNING RAIN CHANCES WITH NONE OF THE SHORT TERM MESO MODELS
HAVING MUCH OF A HANDLE ON THE ACTIVITY. THE HRRR APPEARS TO HAVE
PRODUCTION PROBLEMS WITH THE 31.20Z THE LAST FULL RUN AVAILABLE IN
AWIPS AND ON THE WEB. THE 01.00Z HI-RES ARW SEEMS TO BE HANDLING
THE CONVECTION OUT WEST OKAY BUT HAS NO CLUE ON THE ACTIVITY
ACROSS CENTRAL WISCONSIN. SINCE THIS ACTIVITY IS MOVING RAPIDLY
NORTHEAST...EXPECT THAT IT WILL BE OUT OF THE AREA BY 12Z BUT PLAN
TO HOLD ON TO AT LEAST SOME LOW END CHANCES FOR THE SOUTH AND EAST
IN THE EVENT THAT ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY DEVELOPS UNTIL THE MOISTURE
TRANSPORT SHOWS ITS DIURNAL DECREASE AROUND SUNRISE. HOWEVER...THE
ACTIVITY TO THE WEST IS CLOSE TO THE FRONT THAT EXTENDS FROM
EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA INTO NORTHEAST MINNESOTA. IT IS ALSO BEING
AIDED BY A SHORT WAVE TROUGH THAT IS ENTERING WESTERN MINNESOTA.
EXPECT THAT THIS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHEAST THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT AND SHOULD AFFECT THE NORTHERN PARTS OF THE
FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING.

SOME UNCERTAINTY ON HOW THE AFTERNOON IS GOING TO PLAY OUT. THE
SHORT WAVE TROUGH HELPING THE CURRENT ACTIVITY WILL MOVE OUT OF
THE REGION INTO SOUTHERN CANADA BY EARLY AFTERNOON.
MEANWHILE...THE NEXT SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL START TO MOVE ACROSS
THE DAKOTAS. THIS COULD TEMPORARILY LEAVE THE AREA WITHOUT MUCH
DYNAMICAL FORCING FOR THE AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING.
HOWEVER...THIS MAY BE COMPENSATED BY THE INCREASE IN INSTABILITY
WITH AFTERNOON ML CAPES OF 500 TO 1000 J/KG FROM EAST TO WEST
ACROSS THE AREA AND THE SLOW BUT STEADY INCREASE IN THE MOISTURE
TRANSPORT BACK INTO THE AREA. WEAK WARM AIR ADVECTION WILL
CONTINUE AHEAD OF THE FRONT WITH 1 TO 2 UBAR/S OF UP GLIDE ON THE
305K ISENTROPIC SURFACE. SIMILAR TO THE PAST COUPLE OF
DAYS...SHOULD SEE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND STORMS DEVELOP
IN THIS AXIS OF CAPE AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT AND WILL HAVE 50 TO 60
PERCENT RAIN CHANCES FOR MOST OF THE AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON
INTO THE EVENING.

THE SHORT WAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE OVER THE AREA TONIGHT WITH THE
01.00Z NAM SHOWING IT PRODUCING SOME WEAK PV ADVECTION IN THE
500-300 MB LAYER. ALL THE 01.00Z MODELS SUGGEST A SURFACE LOW WILL
FROM ALONG THE FRONT OVERNIGHT BUT CONSIDERABLE DIFFERENCES ON
ITS LOCATION. THE NAM AND 01.00Z ECMWF KEEP THE LOW OVER WESTERN
OR NORTHWEST MINNESOTA CLOSER TO THE UPPER LEVEL LOW AND A
STRONGER SHORT WAVE TROUGH WHILE THE 01.00Z GFS HAS THE LOW NEAR
THE TWIN CITIES. GIVEN THE SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT THAT WILL STILL BE
OVER THE AREA...FEEL THE GFS IS LIKELY TOO AGGRESSIVE PUSHING THE
FRONT INTO THE DEPARTING UPPER LEVEL RIDGE AND THE NAM AND ECMWF
PROBABLY HAVE A BETTER HANDLE ON THE SURFACE LOW. THIS WOULD PUT
THE BEST MOISTURE TRANSPORT OVERNIGHT FROM WESTERN AND CENTRAL
IOWA INTO NORTHERN MINNESOTA AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND SURFACE LOW.
THIS SHOULD THEN PLACE THE BEST COVERAGE OF CONVECTION ACROSS THE
WESTERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA AND HAVE TRENDED THE RAIN
CHANCES FROM 50 PERCENT ACROSS THE EAST UP TO 70 PERCENT IN THE
WEST.

FOR MONDAY...THE UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL MOVE SLOWLY ACROSS NORTHERN
MINNESOTA WITH THE SURFACE LOW MOVING NORTHEAST AS WELL. NO MODEL
CONSENSUS ON THE POSITION OF THE SURFACE LOW WITH THE NAM...GFS
AND ECMWF ALL SHOWING DIFFERENT POSITIONS. THESE MODELS DO SHOW
THE COLD FRONT PROGRESSING INTO WESTERN WISCONSIN AND EASTERN
IOWA DURING THE DAY. THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR GOOD COVERAGE OF
CONVECTION ACROSS THE EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA
THROUGH OUT THE DAY WHILE A DIMINISHING TREND WILL START IN THE
WEST DURING THE AFTERNOON WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE FRONT. LITTLE
OVERALL CHANGE IN THE GENERAL FORCING WILL OCCUR UNTIL THE FRONT
COMES THROUGH. THE MOISTURE TRANSPORT AXIS WILL STILL BE OVER THE
AREA WITH THE WEAK ISENTROPIC UP GLIDE CONTINUING. STILL COULD BE
SOME LINGERING SHOWERS OVER THE NORTHERN PARTS OF THE AREA INTO
TUESDAY IN THE WRAP AROUND MOISTURE AND CYCLONIC FLOW ON THE BACK
SIDE OF THE DEPARTING SURFACE LOW.

SEVERE PROBABILITIES CONTINUE TO REMAIN LOW WITH THIS SYSTEM. ML
CAPES THROUGH THE PERIOD SHOULD PRIMARILY BE IN THE 500-1000 J/KG
RANGE WITH THE SHEAR IN THE 0-6KM LAYER REMAINING IN THE 25 TO 30
KNOT RANGE. LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN SHOULD BE THE MAIN THREAT WITH
WARM CLOUD DEPTHS OF 3 TO 4 KM AND PRECIPITABLE WATERS OF 1.5 TO
1.8 INCHES.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 248 AM CDT SUN JUN 1 2014

THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BECOME STATIONARY
ACROSS NORTHERN MISSOURI TUESDAY NIGHT. WITH THE NEXT SHORT WAVE
TROUGH COMING OUT OF THE CENTRAL ROCKIES...AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE
WILL FORM ALONG THE FRONT WITH GOOD CONSENSUS BETWEEN THE
ECMWF...GFS AND 01.00Z GEM SHOWING THIS LOW BETWEEN OMAHA AND
KANSAS CITY. STRONG MOISTURE TRANSPORT IS EXPECTED TO OCCUR AHEAD
OF THIS SURFACE LOW WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME HEAVY RAIN TO FORM
NORTH OF THE FRONT. CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT THIS HEAVY RAIN
SHOULD BE OVER CENTRAL OR SOUTHERN IOWA WITH THE NORTHERN EXTENT
OF THE ACTIVITY GETTING INTO THE SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST
AREA TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. HIGH PRESSURE THEN EXPECTED TO
BUILD IN FOR GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF
THE WORK WEEK.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1244 PM CDT SUN JUN 1 2014

WARM AND MUGGY AIRMASS COMBINED WITH LEFT OVER BOUNDARIES FROM
MORNING CONVECTION LEADING TO INCREASING SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON. ANOTHER WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE IS THEN
HEADED FOR THE REGION OVERNIGHT INTO MONDAY FOR MORE SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORMS. THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY OF THUNDER WITHIN THE
VICINITY OF KRST/KLSE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. AS
SUCH...OPTED TO CARRY GENERAL THUNDER AT BOTH TAF SITES THROUGH
TONIGHT. IN ADDITION...THERE LOOKS TO BE A PERIOD OF HEAVIER
RAINFALL TIED TO INCREASING MOISTURE TRANSPORT HEADED IN DURING
THE 03-09Z TIME FRAME. THIS WILL LIKELY CAUSE GENERAL VFR
CONDITIONS TO RAPIDLY DETERIORATE INTO IFR. AS THE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM BEGINS TO PULL NORTHEAST OF THE AREA LATER MONDAY
MORNING...EXPECT WINDS TO SHIFT TO THE WEST/SOUTHWEST AND BECOME
GUSTY...ESPECIALLY AT KRST. ALSO...LOOK FOR A DIMINISHING TREND
TO THE SHOWER AND THUNDERS ACTIVITY AFTER 12Z WITH VFR CONDITIONS.

.ARX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WI...FLOOD WATCH FROM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING FOR
     WIZ032.
