Area forecast discussion, Apr 16, 6:24 AM CDT, 2 hours 40 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service La Crosse WI 624 AM CDT Tue Apr 16 2019 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 410 AM CDT Tue Apr 16 2019 Main short-term fcst concerns are highs today then increasing SHRA/TSRA chances tonight. 06z Data analysis had a 1000mb low moving across western KS with troughing northeast into western IA and southern MN. Moisture being lifted north ahead of the sfc-850mb trough combined with some 850- 500mb FN convergence near the MN/IA border responsible for a band of sct SHRA from NE IA into SE SD early this morning. Further NE into NE WI, leading edge of the moisture transport/theta-e convergence producing sct -SHRA across portions of eastern WI. Otherwise, a warmer night across the SE 2/3 of the region under cloud cover and warm advection near/ahead of the trough axis. No issues noted with 16.00z model initializations. Solutions similar as mid level ridging builds/moves across the Upper Midwest today/ tonight, ahead of stronger northern/southern stream troughing coming thru the Rockies. Short-term confidence is good this cycle. For the short-term, 850-500mb FN convergence driving the SHRA early this morning quickly wanes/moves off by or shortly after 12z this morning. Today trends dry as the lower level trough moves SE of the area and weak high pressure builds in from the north under the rising hgts aloft. A drier push of sfc-700mb air from the north as well today with a partly cloudy/partly sunny skies expected for most locations. With some sunshine and a warmer start this morning, mixed 925mb temps today support highs in the low-mid 60s with the blend of guidance highs looking good. Next round of low level moisture transport/theta-e convergences lifts north into the area tonight as the sfc-850mb low moves into NEB and the trough axis that slides SE of the area this morning starts to return north as warm front. Warm advection/isentropic upglide over the sfc-850mb front combined with divergence aloft ahead of the troughing coming thru the Rockies provide the lift. A drier low level airmass to re-saturate Tue evening before higher SHRA chances would start to spread north across the area later Tue night. Kept -SHRA chances rather small and across the south end of the fcst area Tue evening, with chances increasing to 50-80% across the SW half of the fcst area toward 12z Wed. MUCAPE of perhaps 250- 500 J/KG when lifting elevated parcels progged into mainly the SW half of the fcst area later this evening/overnight. Continued with mention of some -TSRA chances (main threat the lightning) across the SW half of the fcst area, mainly later tonight. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 410 AM CDT Tue Apr 16 2019 For Wednesday thru Thursday night: main fcst concerns this period are SHRA/TSRA chances/precip amounts Wed into Thu and any strong to severe storm chances Wed afternoon into Wed evening. Model runs of 16.00z in good agreement bringing the north/south parts of the troughing east across the plains Wed then phasing them as they move into/across the MS valley Wed night thru Thu night. Trend is for the trough to not close off a mid level low as it crosses the mid/upper MS valley (remain an open wave). Overall Wed thru Thu night fcst confidence is good this cycle. Bulk of the forcing/lift with the approach sfc low thru mid level trough now progged to spread across the area Wed. With a more open, progressive mid level trough/wave, forcing/lift now progged to gradually wane/lift NE of the area Wed night/Thu. Greater precip chances and QPF now looking to be a shorter period of Mainly Wed, with rain chances tapering off Wed night/Thu as the sfc-850mb low/front moves across and east of the area. Still need to watch Wed into Wed evening for potential hydrologically significant precip which would create rises and possible flooding on tributary rivers or prolong the flooding along the MS River. However the threat of a prolonged period of 36-48 hrs of heavy rain possibilities is diminishing. Model blend rain totals from late tonight thru Thu now now more in the 1" range vs. 1 to 2", locally up to 3" from earlier model runs. Continued with 50-90% SHRA chances Wed into Wed evening, then followed the model consensus of decreasing precip chances later Wed night thru Thu night. Per SWODY2, marginal threat of strong/severe TSRA in the area Wed afternoon/evening cannot be ruled out. The model consensus tracks the sfc low NE across the fcst area with southeast half of the fcst area in the 'warm sector' for a time Wed afternoon/evening, with as much as 500-1000 J/KG of MUCAPE possible. However, low level RH progs show saturation of the 925-850mb layers across eastern IA/southern WI with this moisture/strato-cu deck stuck in/under an inversion. Lower KM or 2 of the column looking to be cut off from the convection, with limited wind shear in the portion of the column above 1.5 to 2KM. Any strong/severe risk across the SE half of the fcst area Wed afternoon/evening appears to be elevated TSRA with possibilities of some hail. A cooler day Thu in northerly flow/low level cold advection under clouds behind the departing low with the blend of guidance highs in the upper 40s-low 50s reasonable. For Friday thru Monday (days 4 to 7): main fcst concerns this period are returning SHRA chances Sun/Mon. Medium range model runs of 16.00z in good agreement on shortwave ridging building across the region Fri/Sat, followed by a northern stream shortwave into the north-central CONUS for Sun/Mon. Day 4-7 fcst confidence is average to good this cycle. High pressure to slide across the region Fri/Sat, for dry, quiet weather. Temps to return to above normal by Sat as low level warm advection spreads in on the back side of the high. Northern stream wave to approach for Sun/Mon pushes a lower level trough/front into across the region. Timing/strength detail differences as expected by days 6/7, but some 20-30% SHRA chances Sun/Mon as a front would move into/across the area reasonable at this time. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday morning) Issued at 624 AM CDT Tue Apr 16 2019 Last of the showers will exit the area through 13-14Z, leaving a period of clearing skies for many areas, with just some thickening mid/high clouds expected later today. Those clouds will eventually lower late tonight ahead of an approaching warm front, but with ceilings still VFR through 12Z Wednesday. However, as moisture increases into the area, showers and thunderstorms are likely to develop late tonight, impacting LSE and RST by 10Z or so per current forecast trends. Still a bit too early to include a thunder mention for either site given some uncertainty but something to watch the next few forecast cycles. Winds will shift north then northeasterly this morning behind a passing weak frontal boundary, holding southeasterly through tonight but increasing in speed 10-15 knots late. && .ARX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
