Area forecast discussion, Jun 28, 6:13 AM CDT, 3 hours 50 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service La Crosse WI 613 AM CDT Fri Jun 28 2019 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday Night) Issued at 231 AM CDT Fri Jun 28 2019 Currently, a broken line of thunderstorms associated with a mid level shortwave trough/weak surface boundary was working southeastward through the area early this morning. Otherwise, temperatures as of 2 am were holding in the mid 60s to near 70. For today, that weak surface boundary will be hovering across central IA into southern WI. Models showing an impressive CAPE pool in place south of this boundary with 0-3km MUCAPE values up to 5-6 kJ/kg. RAP Bufkit indicating cap eroding/auto-convecting in the vicinity of this frontal boundary south of I-90. Fortunately, bulk shear will be rather weak in the 15-20kt range and wet bulb zero up around 13kft (warmer -melting bigger hailstones as they fall). So, thinking we'll see scattered thunderstorms firing mainly south of I- 90 this afternoon with a few possibly containing up to quarter-size hail and strong/gusty winds. CAMs show this convection moving south and dying off later this evening with loss of surface heating. Otherwise, a warm and increasingly humid day on tap for today with highs topping off well into the 80s and dew points in the mid 60s to lower 70s. This will push heat indices into the upper 80s to mid 90s. Partly cloudy/quiet conditions expected Friday night with lows in the 60s/lower 70s. Mid/upper level ridge amplifies over the region Saturday, warming temperatures into the mid 80s/lower 90s. These temperatures combined with dewpoints in the upper 60s to lower 70s will produce heat indices in the 90s to near 100. Models show an MCS moving through the Northern Plains/northern MN Saturday night -staying north of the area. Otherwise, fairly muggy night with lows only dropping into the mid 60s/lower 70s along with similar dew points. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Thursday) Issued at 231 AM CDT Fri Jun 28 2019 Sunday could be a tricky forecast as the NAM/GFS show an MCS rolling southeast into the area (north of I-94). This could throw a wrench into our temperature forecast if cloud cover/scattered convection decide to linger through the day. Model consensus yielding highs in the upper 80s to the lower 90s, but will have to keep a close eye on how MCS pans out. A cold front pushes southeast into the area Sunday night/Monday for a good chance of thunderstorms. Will have to watch for the possibility of severe storms as well with higher cape values in the 2.5-4 Kj/Kg range and bulk shear of 25-35kt. Upper level ridge flattens out through the rest of the period with several waves rippling through the more high-zonal flow. This will keep shower/thunder chances in with near normal early July temperatures. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Saturday morning) Issued at 613 AM CDT Fri Jun 28 2019 Showers/storms slowly sinking southward of the KRST/KLSE airports and should be clear of the area by 13z, leaving VFR conditions in its wake. Expecting some regeneration of shra/ts this afternoon along a lingering frontal boundary but thinking this activity will remain south of the KRST/KLSE airports. Could see some lower mvfr cloud cover after 08z tonight along with 3sm br given very moist lower boundary layer from recent rain. && .ARX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...None. MN...None.
