Area forecast discussion, May 18, 6:47 AM CDT, 2 hours 59 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service La Crosse WI 647 AM CDT Thu May 18 2017 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 356 AM CDT Thu May 18 2017 Main fcst concerns this period are lingering SHRA chances focus is on severe potential this afternoon into this evening. 06z data analysis a 995mb low just SW of KEAU. This near/under the 500mb low, with the nearly vertically stacked system lifting steadily NE. Bulk of the instability has been pushed out of the area as cooling/dry gradually wraps around the south side of the low. The deep cyclonic circulation was still producing -SHRA across much of MN/WI, with most of this north/west of the low as expected. Abundant low clouds north/west of the sfc low as well. Model runs of 18.00z initialized well. Models in good agreement as the mid level low/wave quickly exits east this morning and hgts rise/shortwave ridging builds in later today/tonight. Short-term fcst confidence is good this cycle. For the short term, the main mid level trough/shortwave exits this morning, but a trailing vort lobe and a 925-700mb trough are going to linger over the area into the early evening. Some deeper moisture (sfc-650mb) and 850-700mb FN convergence linger over mainly the NE end of the fcst area in the trough axis thru the afternoon. Will trend grids with a slower exit of the trailing -SHRA eastward and out of the fcst thru the late morning and at least early afternoon hours. Main surge of sfc-925mb cold advection pushes south across the area this morning. A lower strato-cu deck to spread across the area with this, along with the 10-20mph north winds driving it. Highs today to be near/just after sunrise, then fall thru the mid/late morning as the strong low level cold advection spreads across. Today is going to feel cold/raw compared to the past several days. Consensus highs, between 14z-01z, mostly in the 50s quite reasonable. The lower level trough exits early this evening, with drier NE to east anticyclonic sfc-850mb flow spreading across the area. Lower clouds looking to quickly clear from NE to SW during the evening. This along with a dry BL airmass and lighter NE winds should allow for strong radiational cooling once the clouds decrease. However, thickening high level moisture/clouds ahead of the next mid level low coming thru the central Rockies is progged to quickly spread NE across the region later tonight. Appears there may not be a very long window of clear/mostly clear skies over the area tonight. Some lows may actually be around midnight, then steady/slowly rise late tonight as thickening cirrus spread in. Stayed with the blend of guidance lows (below normal) for tonight, with those lows dipping into the mid 30s across Clark/Taylor ctys. Added patchy/areas of frost to grids in the north end of the fcst area. With the cloud trends for tonight and what could be a short period for the stronger radiational cooling, will pass any potential need for a frost advisory to day crew. .LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 356 AM CDT Thu May 18 2017 For Friday thru Saturday night, main fcst concerns this period are SHRA/TSRA chances and rain amounts and the cooler temperatures. Model runs of 18.00z in reasonable agreement as the mid level low over CO at 12z Fri lifts into SD by 12z Sat then to near the MN/ONT border by 12z Sun. Some detail differences in this low/trough, especially by Sat/Sat night, but this not unexpected with the amplified flow pattern. Fri thru Sat night fcst confidence is average to good this cycle. With the mid level low ejecting into the central plains Fri, the deep layered S/SW flow ahead of it quickly spreads the higher PW airmass in the central/southern plains back northward into the region. Lead warm advection 'wing' of lower level thermodynamic forcing spreads NE across the fcst area Fri. Combined with the increasing/deepening moisture, SHRA chances quickly spread NE across much of the fcst area Fri. This forcing/lift pass N/E of the fcst area Fri evening, with the deeper layered forcing/lift and divergence aloft ahead of the mid level low/trough to begin providing the lift by later Fri evening and thru much of Sat. Due to the model detail differences, stayed with the consensus precip chances for Fri thru Sat, peaking in the 60-80% range much of Sat. By Sat night as the sfc-mid level low/trough lift into northern MN/lk Superior, the lower level flow becomes more SW to NW advecting in both drier and cooler air. Consensus SHRA chances already diminishing from SW to NE Sat evening are reasonable. With the recent widespread and locally heavy rains, plenty of concern for how much rain this next system will produce across the area. Latest model blend produces mostly 2/3 to 1 inch across the area. Some potential for this amount of rain to cause additional hydro concerns, but model continue to produce this rain over the course of a 24 to 36 hour period vs. within a few hours. One more question this period is how much instability may work into/over the fcst area. The consensus has steadily increased some MUCAPE near or into the SE end of the fcst area Fri night/Sat. This generally remains 500 j/kg or less. For now will continue a small TSRA chance across mainly the south 1/2 of the fcst area later Fri night thru Sat. Blend of guidance highs/lows for Fri-Sat night, as much as 10- 20F below normal for highs Fri look good at this time. For Sunday thru Wednesday (days 4 to 7): main fcst concerns this period are SHRA chances mainly Mon/Tue and generally below normal temperatures under broad mid level troughing. Confidence in the larger scale feature of the upper troughing is good, but rather low in the details of shortwaves rotating thru this flow and across the region. Sunday should trend as a dry day behind the strong trough from Fri/Sat continues to lift well north of the region. Sunday to also trend cooler as low level cold advection spreads in behind the departing trough. Some models have 850mb temps near/below 0C over the fcst area on Sun. Reasonable consensus for some warm advection and moisture/instability return ahead of a stronger NW flow shortwave to drop into the region Mon. Evolution of this wave beyond Mon is where model differences increase. Some 20-30% SHRA/TSRA chances much of Mon night-Tue night OK for now. Even the lesser model agreement by Tue/Wed would keep a cool northerly flow aloft over the region into the middle of next week. After a bit of a warm- up ahead of the wave on Mon, temps back below normal for Tue/Wed are looking well trended. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday morning) Issued at 647 AM CDT Thu May 18 2017 MVFR stratus has overtaken the TAF sites and will remain through the afternoon hours as much colder air works through the area, with a period of IFR also expected at RST through 15Z or so. Skies will clear for a time from northwest to southeast late this afternoon and into the evening as high pressure and much drier air arrive, with some thicker cirrus arriving later tonight. As a cold front arrives, winds will continue to shift northwest with gusts of 20-25 knots through the afternoon, shifting northeast overnight and diminishing to 10 knots or less. && .ARX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
