.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Friday)
Issued at 151 PM CDT Thu Jun 24 2021

At 2 PM, a cold front extended from west of Albert Lea MN to
Marquette MI. This front will slowly sag south into the Interstate
90 corridor tonight. With partly sunny skies and mid- to upper 60
dew points, surface-based CAPES have climbed to around 2500 J/kg.
The surface convergence remains weak west of the Mississippi
River, so only expecting scattered showers and storms there this
afternoon and evening. Meanwhile, along and east of the
Mississippi River the surface convergence is a bit better, so the
showers and storms will be more widespread along the front this
afternoon and evening. Overall, the deep shear is rather weak
across the area, but does increase along and north of Interstate
94 into the 30 to 40 knot range later this afternoon and evening.
As a result, there could be some strong to maybe severe storms.
With a long and skinny CAPE profiles, thinking hail up to quarters
would be possible and maybe some wind gusts up to 60 mph.

On Friday, the front continues to sag south across northeast Iowa
and southwest Wisconsin. Surface-based CAPES climb to around
2500 J/kg. Like this afternoon, the shear is rather weak and 850
mb moisture transport stays to our southeast, so if anything
became severe it would be pulse and not organized. Hail and wind
would be the primary threat.

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Thursday)
Issued at 151 PM CDT Thu Jun 24 2021

General southwest flow aloft through the weekend, in fact into next
week as a ridge of high pressure establishes itself over the eastern
CONUS while a trough slowly moves from the Northern Plains toward
the Upper Mississippi River Valley region. This looks to stall a
frontal boundary just south/east of the area with a wave low
pressure rippling northeast along it. This will likely push
shower/storms into the area, mainly south of I-90 Friday night into
Saturday. Frontal boundary remains hung up to our southeast while
that mid-level trough pushes in from the Northern Plains Sunday into
Monday for continued shower/thunderstorm chances. Steepening lapse
rates with closer proximity to the approaching trough looks to
generate more shower/thunder chances into mid-next week. It appears
the ECMWF then produce a closed low with our area of the eastern
periphery Thursday while the GFS keeps the trough open. Either way,
steep lapse rates under the trough/low will continue to produce
shower/storm chances.

Temperature-wise...looks like readings will be near normal through
the period with highs in the mid-70s to mid-80s and lows in the mid-
50s to lower 60s.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon)
Issued at 1243 PM CDT Thu Jun 24 2021

A cold front will produce scattered storms as it moves southeast
through the area through tonight. The best chance looks to be
along and east of the Mississippi River. These storms may impact
KLSE between 25.00z and 25.03z.

The SREF and soundings continue to show IFR/MVFR ceilings look to
impact KLSE after 25.06z.
