Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
226 AM CDT Fri Oct 12 2018
.SHORT TERM...(Today through Sunday)
Issued at 226 AM CDT Fri Oct 12 2018
Water vapor satellite this morning is showing a short wave trough
over eastern Wyoming. This wave will continue to move east today
while splitting into several pieces. The strongest of these pieces
is forecast to move across Missouri into the Ohio River Valley
taking the best forcing to the south of the area. The latest set
of hi-res meso scale models show the majority of the showers with
this wave across southern Iowa into Missouri with just some very
light returns possible to about the Interstate 80 corridor. Plan
to stay with a dry forecast for today based on this.
The next short wave trough in the northwest flow was over British
Columbia. As this wave moves toward the region over the weekend,
the flow pattern becomes rather complicated. An upper level low
will drop south/southeast across central Canada into the Upper
Midwest Sunday as the upper level low off the California coast
moves inland and across the southern Rockies. All this will create
a large positive tilt long wave trough from the Upper Great Lakes
into the Desert Southwest. This stretching of the energy through
the long wave trough will lead to rather weak forcing across the
region as a cold front slides across Saturday night and Sunday.
There looks to be some weak QG convergence in the 1000-500 mb
layer along with some very weak frontogenesis in the 1000-700 mb
layer with the passage of the front. The 12.00Z NAM and GFS along
with the 11.12Z ECMWF all show a little bit of precipitation with
the front and given the overall weak forcing, a small 20 to 30
percent mention of precipitation seems appropriate.
.LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Thursday)
Issued at 226 AM CDT Fri Oct 12 2018
Once the long wave trough moves past the area, it looks to be
relatively quiet for the work week. All the medium range models
are suggesting a piece of energy will break off from the southern
section of the long wave trough and from a cut off upper level low
over the southern Rockies. This low will then drift
north/northeast through the middle of the week before the models
start to diverge on whether this stays a cutoff low (ECMWF) or
opens up and becomes part of a northern stream system moving
across Canada toward the Great Lakes (GFS). Neither solution looks
to have much impact on the sensible weather as a large area of
high pressure at the surface looks to dominate much of central
part of the country and should keep the area dry.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night)
Issued at 1134 PM CDT Thu Oct 11 2018
Watching MVFR stratus deck gradually clear from west to east this
evening, and that trend will continue overnight. Meanwhile mainly
mid level clouds quickly streaming in from the west ahead of next
wave. Those should thicken as the day progresses Friday but
generally expect VFR conditions to prevail from early Friday on.
