Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
304 PM CDT Sat Jul 11 2020

.SHORT TERM...(This evening)
Issued at 250 PM CDT Sat Jul 11 2020

First round of thunderstorms this morning developed with weak
shortwave ripples in the northwest flow aloft around 08Z, 09z, and
10Z...strengthening 12-15Z enough to produce large hail and
damage to crops across parts of Chickasaw and Fillmore Counties.
These storms have continued as they are pushing into Indiana.

Thunderstorms re-developed near Alexandria, MN late this morning
and had advanced toward Mankato by 230pm. This line of storms is
forecast to drop southeast, meanwhile, 700mb warm advection will
increase across northern Iowa with additional thunderstorm
development across northern Iowa. As the stronger shortwave
trough moves across the forecast area especially from 3pm until 8
pm. A 75kt 300mb jet is diving across the Central Plains and the
forecast area is in the left front exit region of the jet through
early evening. Expect storms to tap into deep layer shear of 40 to
50kts and MUCAPE of 3000-4500J/kg across parts of southern
MN/southwest WI into Iowa. The environment will have steep lapse
rates of 6.5 to 7.5 C/km. These factors favor severe storm
development. The SPC HRRR has MLCAPE focused more just to the west
of our county warning forecast area into central Iowa. The
outflow from the thunderstorms this morning will affect the
intensity and coverage of strong to severe storms as local
dewpoints have dropped to 65 by late morning, but is recovering.
The instability gradient has been pushed southwest...thus will be
monitoring this afternoon to see how quickly or outside of the
outflow the instability will return. At 2pm surface dewpoints are
pooled from northwest Iowa toward ALO and CID to MLI. Visible
satellite imagery shows some storms developing along this
boundary. Along and to the west of the outflow boundary,
temperatures are mostly 85 to 90 degrees with cooler 80 to 85
degree air. DVN did a special 19Z sounding. It showed very steep
low level lapse rates and SBCAPE around 2250J/kg.

The most recent radar shows a couple of clusters in southern Iowa
and in northwest Iowa with several reports of large hail 1.5 to
2.5 inches). The SPC HRRR tends to focus the organized convection
over central and eastern Iowa with a few isolated cells into
southeast MN and western Iowa. The SSCRAM/HRRR severe weather
guidance highlights the hail potential along the outflow boundary
especially toward Waterloo IA. The SPC mesographics have 40 to 45kts
of deep layer shear over our Iowa county warning area into central
Iowa. Sfc vorticity is higher near the boundary as well with an
isolated tornado threat.  Isolated supercells possible
initially then more of a cluster as the storms push southeastward.
We do have a severe thunderstorm watch out for parts of southeast
Minnesota into eastern Iowa.

The convection moves out this evening with some patchy fog
possible later tonight and Sunday morning with light north winds. Lows
tonight will be comfortable in the 50s and 60s with light north
winds.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Saturday)
Issued at 250 PM CDT Sat Jul 11 2020

For Sunday...there is some hint that showers/thunderstorms are
possible. Our convective temperatures are only in the upper 70s
and we still have around 1 inch of precipitable water to work
with. Will want to see if there is a weak shortwave that we can
track that is forecast to drop south from SD into Iowa. We are on
the east side of the ridge and remain uncapped. May need to add
some isolated pops if we can pin down the potential better.

The mid tropospheric trough moving into southwest Canada Sunday
night into Monday will try to break down the ridge with a 40 to 50kt
low level jet increasing across the Plains...then weakening to 35kts
across Minnesota...and strengthening again to 40 to 50kts across MN.
The focus for storms Sunday night will be across North Dakota. There
may be some storms that try to develop over southern MN or western
WI Monday...however confidence is low until later Monday night and
Tuesday until there is a better push along the cold front.  Will
need to watch more on the timing, however there is some stronger
deep layer shear forecast Tuesday along with precipitable water
values of 1.5 to 2 inches.  The instability looks skinnier...more in
the 1000 to 2000J/kg range.  Heavy rain will be a concern.

The front may push south for Wednesday or linger across our far
south.  There is not good agreement in the flow for Thursday and
Friday as to more of a trough or flatter ridge.  Some chance of rain
with any shortwaves in the flow...thus will need to refine timing as
we get closer.

Not as hot this weekend and into next week with highs in the 70s and
80s. Normal highs are in the lower 80s.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Sunday morning)
Issued at 515 AM CDT Sat Jul 11 2020

Cigs: sct-bkn mostly VFR clouds through the period - with BKN cigs
during periods of greater pcpn chances. Can't rule out a brief drop
into MVFR with afternoon convection, but timing/confidence on
occurrence not high enough to add to the forecast for now.

WX/vsby: Sct -shra/ts this morning with a weak upper level
shortwave...mainly for KRST. Higher chances then return for the
afternoon - with again greater threat for KRST. Higher wind gusts
with any storm, along with locally heavy rain and accompanying lower
vsby. A strong/severe threat this afternoon too...mostly for KRST.

Winds: staying on the light side outside of any storm. Will swing to
the northwest/north for the afternoon.
