Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
1211 AM CDT Wed Jun 13 2018

.UPDATE...
Issued at 658 PM CDT Tue Jun 12 2018

Have made some slight migrations to the forecast to concentrate
the severe/strong storm risk from one SLGT area into two smaller areas
where the ingredients seem to suggest a bit higher storm coverage
Area 1: The southern area south of about Highway 18 in NE IA and
SW WI where the MLCAPE pool is around 1500 J/Kg with overlaid
deeper wind shear for supercells.
Area 2: The lower /relatively/ instability area further north but
ahead of the deep and strong shortwave trough heading in with
deep shear for supercells...near and north of I-94 in WI. Have
also slowed the timing this evening to mainly be a 9pm to 12 am
window.

Overall the SPC Deep moisture convergence is highest where the
storm initiation has recently occurred near the Twin Cities and
northwest of Fort Dodge in IA. This is handled well in the recent
RAP forecasts of 925mb thetaE convergence and the RAP tracks
these two areas east over the next hours to bring the storms to
the forecast area. HRRR runs have been targeting these two areas
since I walked in at 4 pm. The area in IA may shift southeast and
just brush the far southern areas south of highway 18....and may
miss the WFO La Crosse northeast Iowa counties totally.

Have refined hourly storm chances in the forecast as well to
represent this thinking.

With deep shear, severe storm chances have to be considered. CAPE
will diminish slowly through the evening thus best chances for
severe storms do as well. However, dynamical forcing of strong
shortwave trough in northern area of storms will make up for some

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 305 PM CDT Tue Jun 12 2018

Plenty of cloud cover has remained over the area today within a
fairly moist air mass ahead of a surface boundary slowly approaching
from the west across Minnesota. A few showers/sprinkles have
developed at times today with weak isentropic upglide.  Of interest
will be a vigorous shortwave aloft that will approach northern
Wisconsin this evening. Stronger flow will support deep layer
shear of 40-50 kts. Limiting factors include timing of the wave
and instability with RAP MUCAPE ranging from 500-1000 J/kg across
northern Wisconsin to near 2000 J/kg in northeast Iowa. Will have
to watch cloud trends late this afternoon for any clearing. With
the greatest lift with the shortwave across northern Wisconsin,
expect the highest chances for storms in this area, with
isolated/scattered storms possible farther south along the surface
boundary where instability is higher but forcing from the upper
wave is weaker. Given the forcing and shear present, could see a
few strong to severe storms with a hail/wind threat, mainly this
evening, before large scale subsidence takes hold as the shortwave
passes to the east overnight.

Wednesday will be a very nice day as precipitable water values fall
to around half an inch with dry high pressure over the area. Highs
will be around 80 in many areas with mostly sunny skies.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 305 PM CDT Tue Jun 12 2018

The main concerns through the extended period will be a return to
hot temps and thunderstorm chances.

Even by Thursday mid/upper ridging will be beginning to build across
the Midwest with temps/moisture beginning to increase. The ridge
centered over the Mid Mississippi Valley will remain in place
through the weekend downstream from a deepening upper trough over
the western US. An upper trough passing to the north and east
will help to knock the ridge down early next week and drive a
front through the area.

Plenty of Gulf moisture will be advected northward on the western
periphery of the ridge setting up a humid/unstable pattern across
the region into the Midwest through the weekend with the GFS
indicating precipitable water values could exceed 1.75 inches at
times. Showers/storms are possible by Thur night and Friday with
increasing moisture transport/warm advection. A frontal boundary
will likely be situated somewhere from the northern plains through
the upper Great Lakes with occasional thunderstorm complexes
riding the periphery of the ridge near the frontal zone through
the weekend. Will have to watch where this boundary sets up and
how far south into the more capped warm sector any of these storms
can reach. Could see heavier rainfall as well as some stronger
storms, though, near the frontal zone,currently favoring northern
parts of Minnesota and Wisconsin.

South of the front, heat will be the main concern. The 12.12Z
ECMWF shows 925 mb temps of 27-30C over much of the area Fri-Sun
afternoons with the GFS a few degrees cooler. In the absence of
any storms that sneak south or thicker cloud cover, the higher
ECMWF 925 mb temps would support highs well into the 90s. Dew
points in the 60s to near 70F would result in even higher heat
indices, leading to potential heat concerns. Overnight lows likely
will remain near or above 70 over the weekend for much of the
area. Some uncertainty remains given potential for convection and
questions exactly where the boundary will be set up, but it
certainly looks like a very warm/hot and humid weekend. Temps may
trend downward behind a front early next week, but timing of the
front is still in question.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Wednesday night)
Issued at 1210 AM CDT Wed Jun 13 2018

Cold front moving through will bring VFR conditions to the
airfields through the period and SKC. There may be some early VFR
cigs from 06-08Z at KLSE.
