Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
605 PM CDT Thu Sep 12 2019

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 302 PM CDT Thu Sep 12 2019

At 3 PM, a low pressure area was located just east of Aberdeen SD. A
cold front extended from this low southeast into south-central
Minnesota and then south through central Iowa.  A warm front
extended from the Albert Lea MN southeast to Platteville WI.
Clearing in the warm sector has resulted in 2-3K mixed-layer CAPES.
With 0-1 km shear of 30 knots, there will be the potential of
isolated tornadoes along the warm front.  The one ingredient which
is missing is the lack of steep low level lapse rates.

Once in the warm sector, the deep shear weakens.  However, there is
30 to 40 knots of 0-3km shear.  As a result, the threat will quickly
transition to damaging winds.  In addition, may have to watch for
the potential of QLCS tornadoes in any storms which may bow out
along the line.

With the speed of this line, the threat for flash flooding is
minimizing.  However with hourly rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches,
there will be the potential of localized flash flooding this
afternoon/evening.

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday)
Issued at 302 PM CDT Thu Sep 12 2019

Next concern are shower/storm chances Friday night into Saturday
night. Upper level closed low/trough moves into southern Ontario
Canada and west to east flow develops across the northern tier
United States Friday night into Saturday. Shortwave trough
embedded in the west to east flow aloft tracks into the Great
Lakes Region Saturday. The 12.12z GFS/NAM indicate 500-300mb PV
advection/850-700mb QG forcing and 925-850mb moisture
transport/convergence in association with the shortwave trough.
Showers/storms are a good possibility across the forecast area
Saturday afternoon/Saturday night. Instability is limited and
severe threat at this time looks low across the forecast area.

Main forecast concerns are temperatures through the period. The
12.12z GFS/ECMWF/GEM are in good agreement digging upper level
trough over the Rocky Mountains and amplifying upper level ridge
over the central and eastern United States Sunday night into
Wednesday. Southerly winds on the backside of the ridge aloft will
advect in a warmer airmass into the Northern Plains/Upper Midwest
region...as the 12.12z ECMWF show 925mb temperatures warming to plus
20 to plus 25 degrees celsius by 00z Wednesday. The 12.00z standard
anomalies suggest plus 2.0 to 2.5 degrees above normal Monday
through Wednesday. High temperatures will be much above
normal...with highs in the middle 80s to potentially the lower 90s
at a few locations. Thursday...upper level ridge breaks down and
pieces of energy eject out ahead of the upper level trough into the
Upper Great Lakes Region. This will provide a chance of
showers/thunderstorms across much of the forecast area Wednesday
night/Thursday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
Issued at 605 PM CDT Thu Sep 12 2019

Cigs: mostly mvfr early this evening as storms work through...then
should see a few hour period of improvement/scattering out of this
low deck (per satellite imagery-model RH). Expecting MVFR cigs to
return toward 12z as cloud shield on the backside of the departing
upper level low works back in. These lower cigs are likely to hang
around into Fri evening with clearing overnight.

WX/vsby: shra/ts will continue to track across KRST/KLSE through
about 02-04z this evening with related vsby restrictions. Not
anticipating any impacts after that.

Winds:  southeast to south wind tonight will become westerly with
passage of cold front Fri morning. Winds will be on the increase
along with higher gusts. Winds will then lighten up for the night
time hours.
