At 541 PM CDT, severe thunderstorms were located along a line
extending from near Goodhue to near Byron to 6 miles east of 
Northwood, moving northeast at 50 mph. This line of storms has 
produced winds of 45 to 55 mph. 

HAZARD...60 mph wind gusts.

SOURCE...Radar indicated.

IMPACT...Expect damage to roofs, siding, and trees.

These severe storms will be near...
  Adams and Eyota around 605 PM CDT.
  Elgin and Dover around 610 PM CDT.
  Plainview and Le Roy around 615 PM CDT.
  Grand Meadow around 620 PM CDT.
  Altura around 625 PM CDT.
  
Other locations impacted by these severe thunderstorms include
Fillmore, Marion, Pleasant Grove, Washington and Saratoga.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

For your protection move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a
building.

Intense thunderstorm lines can produce brief tornadoes and widespread
significant wind damage. Although a tornado is not immediately
likely, it is best to move to an interior room on the lowest floor of
a building. These storms may cause serious injury and significant
property damage.

If on or near a lake or river, get away from the water and move 
indoors or inside a vehicle. If you can hear thunder, you are close 
enough to be struck by lightning. Move to safe shelter now! Do not 
be caught on the water in a thunderstorm.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
230 PM CDT Mon Aug 27 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 230 PM CDT Mon Aug 27 2018

Primary concerns remain severe weather/heavy rain threats through
Tuesday.

Early this afternoon, a very warm and humid airmass was in place
over the area south of a surface boundary extending SW-NE across
Minnesota. Convection has already begun to develop into western
IA/MN in association with a mid-level shortwave trough. Expect
storms to continue to develop and intensify eastward this
afternoon, approaching southeast MN/northeast IA late this
afternoon, and continuing into western/central WI this evening.

The thermodynamic environment will be quite favorable for severe
storms with MLCAPE exceeding 2000 J/kg and steep mid-level lapse
rates. Kinematically, mid-level wind fields will increase, aiding in
deep layer shear. The strongest deep layer shear will generally be
found north of I-90. 0-3 km bulk shear increases to 30 to 40 kts
with strong southwesterly 0-1 km shear. Expect storms forming to
the west to organize into a linear complex with wind the dominant
threat and a lower hail threat. However, given the 0-1 and 0-3 km
shear, cannot rule out embedded QLCS circulations, possibly a
tornado. The strongest height falls/synoptic ascent will be
focused across central into northern WI, with CAM solutions
varying on the southern extent of the stronger storms. At this
time areas near and north of I-90 appear to be most likely, but
will have to watch the southern extent.

As stronger low-level moisture transport kicks in this evening, will
have to watch for training storms and a heavy rainfall threat along
residual outflows in a west-east corridor. Given the high
pwats/warm cloud depths, local rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches/hr
are possible. Although recent rainfall hasn't been excessive
across over central/north-central WI, with some antecedent
rainfall and potential for locally heavy rain amounts, went ahead
with a flash flood watch tonight over parts of this area.

The front will continue to sag south on Tuesday. A lull in precip
may occur into Tuesday morning before convection begins to increase
again with diurnal heating. The potential for any strong/severe
storms looks to be mainly across far northeast IA/southwest WI,
depending on frontal/outflow boundary placement and how much
destabilization can occur in this area.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Monday)
Issued at 230 PM CDT Mon Aug 27 2018

Could see some lingering showers and storms in far southeast
portions of the forecast area Tuesday night into the first part of
the day on Wednesday, but high pressure looks to quickly build in
and dry things out. Temperatures will also be much cooler, with
highs in the mid 60s to lower 70s. Then with high pressure overhead
Wednesday night, light winds, clear skies, and plenty of moisture,
looks like fog is a pretty good bet, so added patchy fog mention to
the forecast.

Thursday looks like another cooler, dry day, though winds will pick
up out of the south/southeast by late in the day and make it
slightly warmer than Wednesday. In addition, this should bring in
enough moisture ahead of a shortwave through moving through the
zonal flow aloft on Friday to spark some showers and storms. These
will continue into Saturday as a cold front moves through the area.
Models do hint at some decent instability, so could see some
stronger storms, but a little too early to get too much into the
details.

Then good model agreement of high pressure keeping most of the area
dry on Sunday, but a warm front and associated precip could sneak
into far southern portions of the forecast area.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon)
Issued at 1233 PM CDT Mon Aug 27 2018

Main aviation impacts will be with thunderstorms this evening into
the overnight. A line of storms is expected to approach KRST by
around 00Z and KLSE by 01-02Z with IFR conditions and locally
gusty winds possible. TSRA may continue into the early overnight,
especially at KLSE. Otherwise, any SHRA/TSRA is expected to be
more isolated/scattered in the vicinity of a slowly moving cold
front late tonight into Tuesday morning. MFVR or perhaps IFR
ceilings are possible behind the front for a time on Tuesday.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
Issued at 230 PM CDT Mon Aug 27 2018

Conditions will remain favorable for locally heavy rainfall rates
through Tuesday with pwats around 2 inches and deep warm cloud
depths. Localized flooding is possible in areas that receive
repeated thunderstorms. Some potential exists for repeated
training storms tonight as a line of storms moves across the area
with possible re-development as strong moisture transport
intersects storm outflow. Although there is some uncertainty in
this scenario, including location, issued a flash flood watch is
in effect for portions of central/north-central WI, where models
currently indicate the highest potential. Storms will remain
possible through Tuesday until a frontal boundary clears to the
south. Rainfall tonight is expected to be focused mainly near/
north of I-90, with locally higher amounts possible. On Tuesday,
the greatest risk of storms will be from far northeast IA into
southwest and central WI.

produce isolated tornadoes as well. The storms will also be
capable of very heavy rainfall with localized flooding possible.

In addition, heat indices this afternoon will be in the 90 to 100
range.
