AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
800 AM CDT MON JUN 22 2015

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 800 AM CDT MON JUN 22 2015

STRONG WINDS HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE WAKE LOW BEHIND THE DEPARTING
THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX. EXPECT THAT WINDS WILL BE NEAR OR IN THE
ADVISORY CRITERA FOR A FEW HOURS THIS MORNING...SO HAVE ISSUED A
WIND ADVISORY.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 259 AM CDT MON JUN 22 2015

ALL EYES AGAIN ON THE CONVECTION EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA
TODAY. A COUPLE OF AREAS TO WATCH. FIRST AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS
ALONG AN EAST-WEST LINE ACROSS NORTHERN IA ON THE NOSE OF THE BEST
WARM/MOIST ADVECTION. THIS LINE DRIFTING SLOWLY NORTHWARD AS IT IS
ANCHORED TO A WARM FRONT/TROUGH. ANTICIPATE THIS DRIFTING INTO THE
NORTHEAST IA BEFORE AROUND SUNRISE...AND INTO SOUTHEAST MN AROUND
12Z. MODELS FORECAST INCREASING ELEVATED INSTABILITY TO GO ALONG
WITH THE HIGH BULK SHEAR OVER 60KTS...SO SOME OF THESE STORMS COULD
INTENSIFY AND PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. MEANWHILE TO
OUR WEST...SEVERAL CLUSTERS OF STORMS WERE ONGOING ACROSS EASTERN
SD AND WESTERN MN. THESE STORMS WERE PRODUCING HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS AND WERE RACING EASTWARD TOWARD THE REGION. THESE STORMS
ARE DRIVEN BY A POTENT SHORT WAVE...WITH A PIECE MOVING THROUGH
ND AND A STRONGER PIECE DROPPING IN FROM SASKATCHEWAN. THESE
STORMS ARE ON TARGET TO MOVE INTO THE AREA BY MID-MORNING. GIVEN
THAT THIS IS TYPICALLY A DIURNAL LULL TIME FOR STRONG STORMS...IT
IS EXPECTED THAT THEY WILL BE WEAKENING TO SOME DEGREE. BUT GIVEN
THE STRONG DYNAMICS IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THEY WILL CONTINUE TO
REMAIN STRONG OR SEVERE AS THEY MOVE THROUGH. CURRENTLY...SPC HAS
A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR ALL OF SOUTHERN MN UNTIL 9 AM...
EXCEPT FOR OUR 7 COUNTIES. IF STORMS CONTINUE TO BE STRONG...OUR
COUNTIES COULD BE ADDED.

IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE BULK OF THE STORMS WILL BE MOVING QUICKLY
THROUGH THE AREA DURING THE MORNING...AND DEPARTING BY EARLY
AFTERNOON. BUT JUST AS WE REACH THE MAXIMUM HEATING TIME OF DAY...
THE TRAILING COLD FRONT OF THE MAIN SYSTEM WILL BE MOVING THROUGH
FOR THE AFTERNOON HOURS. NEARLY ALL OF THE MODELS SUGGEST NEW
CONVECTION WILL FIRE ALONG THE FRONT...BUT JUST HOW MUCH WILL BE
THE BIG QUESTION. WILL WE HAVE TIME TO RECOVER FROM THE MORNING
ACTIVITY WITH ENOUGH INSTABILITY? THE HIGHEST LIKELIHOOD FOR THIS
WILL BE OVER THE FAR SOUTHEAST AND EAST COUNTIES OF OUR SERVICE
AREA DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. BUT THERE MAY NOT BE
ENOUGH TIME AND/OR SUPPORT FOR THESE TO BECOME SEVERE AGAIN. THIS
WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED THROUGH THE DAY AS THE SITUATION EVOLVES
BEHIND THE INITIAL CONVECTION. GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF SHEAR...ANY
STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME SEVERE.
BEHIND THE FRONT...BRISK NORTHWEST WINDS WILL QUICKLY DROP
TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY...WITH CLEARING SKIES.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 259 AM CDT MON JUN 22 2015

HIGH PRESSURE WILL PROVIDE A DRY DAY ON TUESDAY. BUT THE NORTHWEST
FLOW REGIME WILL KEEP THE PARADE OF SYSTEMS COMING. THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WHICH WILL BE LINGERING TO OUR SOUTH WILL BEGIN MOVING
BACK NORTH AGAIN BY WEDNESDAY...AND AS WEAK SHORT WAVES MOVE
THROUGH THE FLOW THEY WILL HELP TO TRIGGER CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY AS
THE MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MOVES UP AND OVER THE BOUNDARY. THIS
COULD BRING SOME RAIN TO THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST
AREA AS EARLY AS TUESDAY NIGHT...WITH THE REMAINDER OF THE REGION
HAVING RAIN CHANCES WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. STORMS WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING COULD BE ON THE STRONG SIDE...SO WILL HAVE
TO MONITOR FOR SEVERE POTENTIAL. BEYOND THURSDAY...CONFIDENCE IN
THE FORECAST IS LOWERING AS THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN BEGINS TO
SHIFT TO MORE OF A NORTHWEST FLOW. THE MAIN POLAR VORTEX SHIFTS
SOUTHWARD INTO HUDSON BAY BY THE END OF THE WEEK...WITH MORE OF A
FLOW OF COOLER AIR INTO THE REGION EXPECTED. BUT THE VARIOUS MEDIUM
RANGE MODELS DIFFER AS TO THE DEGREE OF COLD INTRUSION. THE
UNFORTUNATE SIDE EFFECT OF THIS COOLER AIR /BESIDES THE BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES/ IS THAT STEEP LAPSE RATES AND STRONG SUNSHINE
POINT TO THE POSSIBILITY OF DIURNALLY DRIVEN SHOWER ACTIVITY. THUS
HAVE OPTED TO KEEP LOW CHANCES FOR RAIN IN THE FORECAST FOR MUCH
OF THE EXTENDED PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 640 AM CDT MON JUN 22 2015

MAIN TAF CONCERNS IS COMPLEX OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO MOVE
INTO THE RST/LSE TAF SITES THIS MORNING. COMPLEX OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS OVER CENTRAL SOUTHERN MINNESOTA WILL QUICKLY MOVE
EAST ACROSS THE TAF SITES THIS MORNING. WITH THE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS EXPECT MVFR AND POTENTIAL IFR TO LIFR CONDITIONS AT
BOTH RST/LSE TAF SITES. THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL
TO GUSTS UP TO 35 TO 45 KNOTS AT THE TAF SITES. BEHIND THE
BACK EDGE OF THE LINE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...A TIGHT
PRESSURE GRADIENT IS PRODUCING WIND GUST OF 40 TO 45 KNOTS OVER
SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA. THERE IS POTENTIAL WIND GUSTS OF 35 TO 40
KNOTS WILL CONTINUE TO AROUND 16Z. HAVE EXTENDED THE TEMPO GROUP TO
16Z TO ACCOUNT FOR THESE POTENTIAL WIND GUST BEHIND THE LINE OF
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. WINDS MIXING DOWN ALOFT ARE EXPECTED TO PRODUCE
25 TO 30 KNOT WIND GUST BEHIND COLD FRONT AFTER 19Z TODAY AND
CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS AT BOTH RST/LSE TAF SITES.
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO WESTERN MINNESOTA BY 06Z TUESDAY AND
PROVIDE VFR CONDITIONS AT BOTH RST/LSE TAF SITES.
