Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
701 PM CDT Thu Jul 27 2023

.DISCUSSION...(Tonight through Thursday)
Issued at 245 PM CDT Thu Jul 27 2023

Key Messages:

 - Scattered strong/severe storms north of I-94 this evening, but
threat could spread south to I-90 corridor. Large hail, damaging
winds and locally heavy rain the threats.

 - Another round of strong/severe storms for parts of the region Fri
afternoon/night. However, location is highly dependent on where
tonight's convection moves. Expect refinement to expectations over
the next 12-24 hours. Currently, local severe risk would generally
be along/south of I-90 for the late afternoon/early evening hours.
Large hail, damaging winds and locally heavy rain remain the threats.

 - One more hot day generally south of I-90 Friday. Seasonable
temperatures for the weekend into next week.

* STORM CHANCES TONIGHT - mostly north of I-94 with a strong/severe
  threat, but could spread into the I-90 corridor. Severe threat has
  increased in the north.

West-east running sfc front will layout from north-central MN into
northwest WI this afternoon. Moderate/strong pool of instability
building around/south of the front (4+K J/kg of SBCAPE via the RAP)
with 40-50 kts of 0-6 km shear to support updraft, storm
development. Ripe environment for quick upscale once storms fire -
which CAMS continue to favor between 20-22z from north-central MN
spreading into northwest WI. Supercells at first, gradually evolving
into line segments as they dive southeast. The storms would quickly
become severe, with the severe threat dropping to at least the I-94
corridor, possible down to I-90 locally. Meanwhile, there is an
upper level shortwave trough churning over SD (per watervapor
satellite imagery) at early afternoon. This is progged to shift east
through the rest of the day and work into the mix of forcing for
storm development tonight. Mixed messages in the CAMS on how this
evolves, but current trends favor the shortwave working on the
western portions of the front, firing storms over southern/southeast
MN in the early evening. Along with the severe threat, storms could
continue to generate and repeat along the frontal boundary as the
low level jet starts to focus into and across it. Training storms
could result. With a juicy atmosphere to tap, locally heavy rains
likely...with a threat for localized flooding if repeated rounds are
realized.

In addition: some convection could pop along various lingering
boundaries earlier than the "main" convective expectations to the
north. And, with that said, radar does show some convection popping
along a sfc front over southeast MN, western WI. Deep layer shear
lies well north but ample instability for any storm that can sustain
itself to pose some hail and locally heavy rain threat. Might act
more pulsy in nature.

* STORM CHANCES FRI AFT/EVENING - strong/severe potential mostly
  south of I-90.

Overnight convection will push a west-east running frontal boundary
southward across the local forecast area with the RAP/HRRR/NAM12
laying out roughly from the IA/MN border across southern WI at 21z
Fri. Some bits of upper level energy could ripple across the front
for the afternoon/early evening while a weak low looks to
develop/move over the boundary across IA. The pool of moderate/high
unstable air continues around and south of the boundary (upwards of
4+K J/kg MUCAPE in the RAP/NAM12) with around 40 kts of 0-6 km shear
along and just south of the front. The deeper, better shear is
progged to lie northward, in the cooler air.

Stout cap to contend with through most of the day which could erode
enough to reach convective temp just south of the sfc front by late
afternoon. RAP increases convergence along the sfc boundary in the
afternoon, with aspects of the overnight mcs/clouds to the north and
heating to the south. Meanwhile, another source for forcing looks to
move almost parallel to the front with the low level jet/moisture
transport focused east/northeast into northern IL/southeast WI by
21Z.

CAMs not showing much for agreement on timing/location of convective
initiation, but per the expected setup, some sparking along, just
south of the boundary by mid/late afternoon would be reasonable.
Currently, this would suggest over northern/northeast IA, gradually
spreading-moving east. With the juicy atmosphere in place, once
above the cap explosive development would occur with sustained
updrafts thanks to the shear. Large hail, damaging winds and locally
heavy rains are the main threats.

Where the front lays up is of paramount importance as the
convection, and potential for severe storms, will be closely
associated with. Confidence is shaky at this time with where that
boundary will lie, although there is a good amount of support via
short term guidance to hold it south of I-90.

Will follow the model blends, leaning into CAMS output, for related
pcpn chances. Expect some refinement to the chances/severe threat -
more likely tomorrow morning as the outlay of the overnight
convection presents a better idea on how/where convection will spark
later in the day. For timing - a local severe threat would be
favored in the mid afternoon/early evening hours.

One more thing to consider - NAM/GFS drive a shortwave trough
eastward from the northern plains to across MN and northern WI Fri
night. This could/would serve as another source for convective
development...OR...it could advance quick enough east/southeast to
interact with the west-east running front. Medium range guidance not
clear on that. If north of the front, there could still be 1-1.5K
J/kg of MUCAPE to work on, along with favorable shear a loft to
promote at least a few stronger storms (maybe isolated severe). If
catching the front, further enhancement of the storms there would be
likely well into the evening hours.

* COOLER WEEKEND, MORE SEASONABLE NEXT WEEK. TRENDING DRY.

FIRST...heat will continue to pool south of a west-east running cold
front Friday. Where the front lies exactly is in question, dependent
much on what happens overnight with showers/storms. As it currently
sits though, hot and humid conditions will continue favored over
northeast IA/southwest WI - with afternoon heat indices around 100.
Due to lower confidence in some of the details, will not issue a
heat advisory for those areas at this time.

Medium range guidance still in step with a change in the upper level
pattern for the weekend, pushing the ridge axis back westward as a
trough carves over the eastern great lakes/new england states.
Cooler, less humid air returns to the region as a result. The GFS
and EC then hint that a bit of shortwave ridging could return for
the latter half of the new week, which could bump temps back up -
not like today - but above normal. Operational runs at the high end
of their ensemble guidance though and might be outliers when it
comes to temps.

With the upper mississippi river valley under the influence of
northwest flow, there will be the opportunity for bits of shortwave
energy to top the ridge and slide across the region. There has been
good consensus between the medium/long range guidance to keep the
weekend dry with uncertainties to potential rain chances as we move
through the new work week. Some trends in the EPS/GEFS members that
Wed night could harbor a decent shot for showers/storms. Will let
the blend dictate rain chances for now.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
Issued at 648 PM CDT Thu Jul 27 2023

A cluster of storms is pushing across northern Wisconsin and
additional storms have developed to the west along a boundary in
south central Minnesota and also along an outflow boundary. The
short range models tend to bring an increased chance for storms at
the TAF sites after 04 or 05Z, however due to the uncertainty of
how far south the storms will make it or if this area will fall
apart and convection arrives later. Included vcts at this time at
both sites beginning around 04-05Z with the boundary approaching
and the shortwave trough moving through. Timing will need to be
adjusted through the night. VFR conditions outside of storms along
with some potential fog Friday morning. Gusty winds and
torrential rains could accompany the storms.
