Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
108 PM CDT Wed Jul 12 2017

.SHORT TERM...(This afternoon through Thursday)
Issued at 108 PM CDT Wed Jul 12 2017

At 1 PM, a surface low was located northwest of Eau Claire
Wisconsin. This low is forecast to track east northeast across
central Wisconsin through this evening. A cold front extends south
southwest from this low through Red Wing Minnesota and Oelwein
Iowa. This front will move east and south of the forecast area by
13.01z. Ahead of this front, the dew points have climbed into the
into the 70s. With some sunshine late this morning, temperatures
are starting to recover and they currently range from the upper
70s to mid 80s. Temperatures will continue to warm into the 80s
(maybe a few lower 90s) this afternoon. This will result in the
0-1 km mean layer CAPES climbing into the 2.5 to 4.5K J/kg range.
As a short trough, currently located over southwest Minnesota, the
900 to 750 mb cap will erode. This will result in the rapid
development of storms between 12.19z and 12.21z. SPC mesoanalysis
page is showing that there will be adequate deep shear for the
development of supercells. With a straight-line hodograph, expect
to see splitting supercells. While the 0-1 km CAPES are more than
adequate for tornadoes, the 0-1 km bulk shear vectors less than 20
knots. However, if the winds are available to back a bit ahead of
the right moving supercells, a tornado could not be ruled out.
Overall, the biggest threat with these storms look to be damaging
winds, large hail (maybe 2.5" or greater in diameter), and very
heavy rain. Fortunately, it looks like the storms will be rather
progressive, so not anticipation widespread flash flooding. This
severe weather threat looks to be highest between 12.20z and
13.01z. The highest threat looks to be in the counties along the
Mississippi River and east.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 108 PM CDT Wed Jul 12 2017

On Saturday afternoon and evening, another cold front will move
southeast through the region. An elevated mixed layer advecting
off the central Plains will initially cap convection ahead of this
front. This cap will also allow for the 0-1 km mean layer capes to
climb. However, the models are still differing on how much. The
latest GFS has anywhere from 2-4K J/kg. Meanwhile, the ECMWF
ranges from 1500 to 3000 J/kg. Overall, the best shear (35 to 40
knots) will be north of Interstate 94. SPC currently has much of
northern Wisconsin under a Slight Risk and this seems reasonable.

On Tuesday, the models are showing that a short wave trough will
round the upper level ridge. While there is timing differences,
both the GFS and ECMWF suggest that a mesoscale convective complex
will develop across the Northern Plains during the late afternoon
and this will then transition southeast into the Upper Mississippi
River Valley on Tuesday night. There may be some severe weather
with this system too.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning)
Issued at 615 AM CDT Wed Jul 12 2017

Outflow boundary from convection near/east of MS river was
moving thru the taf sites as of 11z. Lower clouds behind this
boundary and TSRA (KLSE area) with it to be rather temporary at
the sites early this morning, only thru about 13z. Vfr then expected
at the taf sites thru today into this evening. A cold front will be
sagging south across the area, but convergence/lift with it looking
to be on the weak side. Question is will the front trigger any
SHRA/TSRA as it passes. If it does, appears the convection would be
south/east of the taf sites later this afternoon, and left any
TSRA/CB mention this afternoon/evening out of the tafs at this time.
Model prog some low clouds to spread south across the area behind
the front later tonight. Taf sites are on the edge of this moisture
thru 12z Thu, so some drop in confidence that lower, mainly MVFR
cigs would spread into the taf sites late in the period. For now
carried a sct mvfr layer after 06z but may yet need some bkn/ovc
cigs late tonight into Thu morning as cooler air spreads in and
strengthens a low level inversion over the area.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...This Afternoon and Evening
Issued at 108 PM CDT Wed Jul 12 2017

Precipitable water values will be in the 1.5 to 2 inch range and
warm cloud layer depths will climb to around 4 K feet ahead of a
cold front this afternoon and early evening. This will make the
the storms highly efficient rain producers. Fortunately, these
storms will be moving and there should be limited training. As a
result, we are not planning on issuing a Flash Flood Watch at this
time. With this said, we will monitoring the areas that saw heavy
rain last night closely.
