Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
656 PM CDT Sat Aug 27 2022

.DISCUSSION...(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 320 PM CDT Sat Aug 27 2022

Key Messages:

 - Severe storm potential this evening and heavy rain potential tonight

 - Another round of storms Sunday evening/night

 - Cooler temperatures and dry weather next week

Now: Radar continues to indicate a back edge to the rainfall over
central WI which has been incredibly slower than forecast. Rainfall
amounts of 2-3" fell along I-94 from Mauston to sw of Tomah. This
all in the warm advection and frontal zone in low-levels oriented
northwest to southeast now near I-94 at around 850 mb. Persistent
instability feeding into the zone with 30 kts of isentropic lift in
swrly flow did the trick. Further southwest, clearing has occurred
with northeast IA and southeast MN in the 80s and a noticeable
billow cloud boundary from Dodge Center to about Dubuque...
indicating strong inversion conditions to its northeast in the rain
cooled air. SPC mesoa indicates about 2k J/Kg of MLCAPE west of this
boundary in S-SE flow surface flow. Wind shear is not impressive but
I would classify it as entry level for organized storms. 0-1km bulk
shear is about 20 kts and 0-3km shear around 25-30 kts with no
increase above (no deep shear). Most of IA is clear and
destabilizing but capping is still in place. GOES water vapor
imagery shows a well-formed shortwave trough approaching Omaha
moving into the instability and directly toward the area.

As the later afternoon and early evening approach, some storms are
expected where convergence occurs AND the cap can be overcome.
Certainly the warm frontal zone / billow cloud boundary could be one
area for storm development but general confluence of the flow
appears to be present near or west of I-35. The latest HRRR and
CAMS indicate this scenario and storms moving into the SPC slight
risk area from the west. Wind shear may increase as the shortwave
trough approaches, but still isnt very strong. So, it appears
pulse hail storms /up to ping pong balls with early storms/ and
bowing segments are possible for wind damage if they orient NW-SE
perpendicular to the 0-3km shear vector.

The impressive shortwave trough will move overhead tonight and
provide a re-invigoration of the forcing. The low-level jet
intensifies per RAP forecasts and with the large scale lift,
conditions continue to favor thunderstorm development. Overnight
the precipitable water values approach 1.50-1.75" after 03Z per
27.12Z HREF and warm cloud depths increase toward 4 km. Both of
these are favorable, although not highly anomalous. So, in
combination with the evening pre-wave storms, additional waves of
storms will occur until the wave axis passes acting to clean storms
from southwest to northeast later tonight. The 27.18Z HREF mean has
totals of 1.5-3" from KRST-KMCW swwrd, but a better idea of reports
in the localized maxes comes from the local probability matched mean
/LPMM/ which is indicating 5" totals possible. HEFS river stage
probabilities available on our River and Lakes web page area
indicates very low probabilities of flooding on rivers from the GEFS
inputs. Soils can take totals of 3-4" /3h,6h FF guidance 3.5"/, but
steep terrain areas and cities such as Rochester (on the
rain axis) would have some flooding issues. However, with
southwesterly flow, prolonged storm rounds through ~09-10Z in
sern MN and nern IA, was just above a 50% confidence level that
flash flooding could occur overnight. This agrees well with the WPC
excessive rainfall slight risk area which matches the SPC slight
risk area very closely...NW-W-SW of La Crosse WI.
Much less rainfall is expected in WI  where it rained today 2-3.5",
but this area must be watched for expansion of the Flash Flood
Watch.

Focus turns to Sunday into Sunday night...Shortwave energy from
tonight into Sunday morning slowly tracks northeast of the forecast
area during the day Sunday. Latest 27.12z deterministic models show
moisture feed continuing through the daytime...especially in the
morning hours. Showers and storms could linger for much of the
morning hours and diminish in the early afternoon as shortwave
energy moves east of the area. Next concern is vigorous upper level
trough...and associated surface front...moving across the Northern
Plain States into the forecast area Sunday evening/night. Along and
just ahead of the surface front...line of convection is expected to
develop over central Minnesota. The latest 27.12z deterministic and
hi-resolution models suggest the timing of this convection and upper
level trough/surface front to move into the western portion of the
forecast area after 00z to near 03z Monday. With this late of
timing...instability out ahead of trough/surface front begins to
diminish across the forecast area. However...0-3km shear from the
27.12z NAM shows 30 to 35 knots from 00z to 06z Monday across the
northern portions of the forecast area. Initially when line moves
into the far northwestern portion of the forecast area...the storms
should have the potential for severe...though instability is
weakening...convection should weaken as well and the severe
potential should rapidly diminish as line of convection tracks over
the northern portions of the forecast area. Potential of severe with
any storms will be in the 00z to 03z Monday timeframe and after 03z
Monday...expect the convection to weaken and be below severe limits.
The main threats for severe will be damaging winds and hail.

Main forecast concerns Tuesday through Saturday are mainly
temperatures through the period. Upper level trough moves into the
northeast United States and shortwave ridge builds into the central
United States through the period. Northerly flow aloft on the
backside of upper level trough will advect a cooler airmass into the
Upper Great Lakes region and allow for cooler than normal
temperatures early in the period...mainly Wednesday into Thursday.
As shortwave ridge builds into the central United States...
temperatures gradually warm Friday into Saturday to near normal.
With shortwave ridge dominating the forecast area through much of
the period. Subsidence underneath shortwave ridge will suppress any
shower or storm development and much of the forecast area will
remain dry Tuesday night into Saturday.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening)
Issued at 655 PM CDT Sat Aug 27 2022

Showers and a few thunderstorms are in the local area.  With
continued moisture transport and an increasing low level jet,
should continue to see on and off showers and thunderstorms during
the evening and overnight hours as a couple of shortwave troughs
rotate through the area. Tough to time convection due to the pop
up and weakening nature with a few rounds of embedded more
organized storm activity. Mainly VFR conditions, however with the
heavier rains/storms patchy MVFR/IFR conditions are possible along
with gusty winds. We should see the rain area shift east of the
KRST area after 14 to 16Z and 18 to 20Z at KLSE. Southeast winds 6
to 12kts with periods of gusts 15 to 25kt increase Sunday after
from the south 10 to 20kts with gusts 15 to 28kts.
