Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
317 PM CDT Wed Jul 4 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 317 PM CDT Wed Jul 4 2018

Main focus is on short term convective potential. Storms have been
slowly increasing this afternoon in the vicinity of a convectively
generated MCV over southern MN and northenr IA and remnant outflow
boundary farther north and east. Ample instability is in place with
RAP analyses showing MLCAPE of 2500 to 3500 J/kg from southeast MN
into northeast IA and western WI ahead of the rain-cooled outflow
air. 0-6 km and 0-3 km shear are lacking with the stronger flow
displaced well north. However, given the instability and the
boundaries/MCV to help aid organization, a window for a few strong
to severe storms will exist this afternoon into early evening. Still
expect damaging winds and heavy rain to be the primary hazards given
very warm temps aloft, but some hail is possible.

Given this evolution, confidence is decreasing in strong or severe
storms later this evening and tonight with the approach of the main
cold front and upper shortwave trough sliding off to the north in
the wake of the afternoon storms. Did keeps some lower end
shower/storm chances going, but it is possible that many areas will
end up dry for evening activities.

Will trim the northern and western edge of the Heat Advisory but keep
it going farther to the south and east at this time.

Drier and cooler air will work in on Thursday behind the front on
Thursday although a few showers or storms could persist into the
morning.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 317 PM CDT Wed Jul 4 2018

Much quieter weather is expected late this week into the weekend
with broad surface through mid-level ridging in place. A shortwave
trough passing across southern Canada Sunday and Sunday night may
drag a surface boundary south into the area, but right now
confidence in showers/storms is low. Otherwise, surface ridging
will remain in place into early and middle of next week with
southerly flow helping to bring warmer air back into the area.
Temps will gradually warm from the upper 70s to mid 80s Friday and
Saturday into the 80s to perhaps low 90s by the middle of next
week.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon)
Issued at 1230 PM CDT Wed Jul 4 2018

Scattered thunderstorms are possible at KRST and KLSE this
afternoon into early evening. Included -TSRA at KRST and VCTS at
KLSE for now. IFR conditions are possible with any storms.
Confidence is somewhat lower in shower/storms tonight, but did
maintain VCSH wording for now. Dry weather with VFR conditions
expected for Thursday.
