Area Forecast Discussion...corrected AVIATION
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
600 PM CDT Thu Jul 12 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 301 PM CDT Thu Jul 12 2018

Latest 18z surface analysis shows cold front extending from over
Lake Superior into southeast South Dakota. Weak moisture convergence
in the 925-850mb layer continues to allow scattered showers/storms
to linger/develop across central Minnesota this afternoon...per
latest mosaic radar.

Main forecast concerns are severe possibilities/showers and storms
over forecast area this evening into tonight. The deterministic
12.12z GFS/NAM/ECMWF are in good agreement in moving surface cold
front slowly southward into southern Minnesota and central Wisconsin
by 12z Friday. Latest hi-resolution and 12.12z deterministic models
show a slower progression of the surface front into the forecast
area than previous runs. This will impact timing of shower/storm
activity to move into the forecast area. At this time...timing of
convection looks to be in the 01-03z into northern parts of the
forecast area. As the front moves slowly south...convection will
overspread southeast Minnesota and western Wisconsin during the
overnight hours tonight. Some of the storms could be strong to
severe mainly north of Interstate 90 this evening and into the
early morning hours Friday...as the latest 12.17z RAP shows 0-3km
of 20 knots and 0-6km most unstable CAPE of 2500-3500 j/kg over
the forecast area. Damaging winds would be a main threat. The
12.12z deterministic models suggest precipitable water values of
1.5 inches to 2 inches over the forecast area.
Shower/thunderstorms will have the potential for sufficient
rainfall amounts and a locally heavy rain threat.

Surface front remains nearly stationary across forecast area during
the day Friday. The 12.12z deterministic models show moisture
transport/convergence at 925-850mb layer and weak lift along front
and this will linger scattered showers and thunderstorms across
forecast area. The latest hi-resolution models indicate scattered
showers/thunderstorms across the forecast area and will continue
this trend in the forecast. At this time...storms should remain
below severe limits...however a few could be strong...as models
suggest 0-6km most unstable CAPE of 3000-3500 j/kg.

Depending on how far south surface front moves and if skies will
be mostly sunny Friday...temperatures will climb to around 90
degrees over the southern forecast area with heat indices of 95
to around 100.

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday)
Issued at 301 PM CDT Thu Jul 12 2018

The front that is across Minnesota, South Dakota and Nebraska today
will still be in the area at the start of this period. Just where
the front will be is not clear and this is where the uncertainty
resides in the forecast. The variation in the models is from near
the Iowa/Minnesota border from the 12.00Z ECMWF to across northern
Missouri from the 12.12Z GFS with the 12.12Z NAM in between but
closer in position to the GFS.

The upper level ridge will still be in place across much of the
country with the local area still expected to be on the northern
periphery of the ridge and on the southern edge of the westerlies.
The positive tilt short wave trough working across the northern
Rockies today is expected to be moving across the area Friday night
and Saturday. By the time the wave gets to the Upper Midwest it
looks to have lost much of its amplitude and thus should come
through with just some very weak pv advection in the 500-300 mb
layer. While not that strong, there will be increase in the low
level moisture transport ahead of this wave and into the front
Friday night. This forcing should be enough to generate another
round of convection along the front that would primarily be over the
southern sections of the forecast area. With a lack of shear, any
threat for damaging winds and large hail looks very low, but
certainly some potential for heavy rain. Precipitable waters will
still be around 2 inches ahead of the front and warm cloud depths
Friday night will be in the 4 to 4.5 km range. As of now, the area
can take some rain without any concerns for flooding, but if this
round of convection would happen to fall over areas that receive
rain tonight and Friday, it may be necessary with later forecasts to
consider a flash flood watch.

This front should then get pushed far enough south of the area for
relative minimum in the rain chances for Saturday night. The rain
chances will then start to ramp back up Sunday as the next front
gets pushed into the area. An upper level low will be moving across
central Canada with the southern tip of the associated trough
getting drug across the Upper Midwest. The GFS shows more short wave
energy in the southern extent of the long wave trough than the ECMWF
does. With these differences, the GFS has much more convection along
the front than the ECMWF does which for now, will result in just
some general 30 to 40 percent chances Sunday and Sunday night with
the passage of this front. Some lingering chances into Monday across
the southeast until the front is well away from the area and then it
looks like high pressure will build in at the surface for a period
of dry weather from Monday night through Tuesday night. Some rain
chances will then be reintroduced starting Wednesday with the
potential for another system to be running along the northern edge
of the upper level ridge. Significant timing differences between the
models having the upper level ridge becoming centered over the West
Coast and how fast this will happen to allow this next system to
come into the area.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
Issued at 600 PM CDT Thu Jul 12 2018

Cold front will bring a bkn line of showers/storms across the area
this evening, a few strong to severe. The pcpn will continue
overnight into Fri morning. The front is progged to slip south of
the TAF sites by early afternoon, with more convective potential
later in the day, but also moving south with the front.

Cigs: still looking at mainly VFR through the period, although a
drop into mvfr with any storm remains possible.

WX/vsby: some indications in the meso models that the bulk of the
shra/ts could stay just north of I-90. Will hold with -shra vcts
mention for now, updating for greater impacts from storms as/if
needed. Heavy rain will restrict vsbys at least mvfr, but probably
ifr for a short period also.

Winds: look for a shift from south to more northwest with passage of
gust front/front later this evening. Should hold mostly northwest to
variable for the overnight, trending more west northwest later in
the day Friday.
