Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service La Crosse WI
151 PM CDT Thu Aug 1 2024

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Scattered storms will continue into this evening. A few strong
  to severe storms could occur with localized damaging
  winds/hail and heavy rain.

- Warmth continues into the weekend before some cooling occurs
  early next week.

- Periodic shower/storm chances late weekend into early next
  week.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 152 PM CDT Thu Aug 1 2024

This evening:

GOES water vapor imagery showed a well-defined mid-level trough
slowing spinning southeastward across the Upper MS Valley this
afternoon. Ahead of the wave, a pool of 1000-2000 J/kg of MLCAPE
will build this afternon, highest across central/western Wisconsin
with minimal capping. Expect a diurnal uptick in showers/storms this
afternoon/early evening, most concentrated across Wisconsin. Despite
relatively meager deep shear profiles beneath the trough, there may
be sufficient instability/updraft intensity to get a few strong to
marginally severe storms with hail and locally damaging downburst
winds, especially across central Wisconsin. With slower-moving
storms and moisture-rick environment (precipitable water values 150%
of average and warm cloud depths nearing 3.5 km), localized heavy
rain could occur with HREF ensemble max rain amounts exceeding 3",
particularly along and east/north of I-94. Isolated flooding could
occur in a few areas. Similarly, beneath the upper trough,
especially in areas where low-level CAPE/surface
convergence/vorticity are maximized, could not completely rule out a
funnel/brief tornado, particularly with any stronger, growing
updrafts. As the trough slowly slides south and east overnight,
showers/storms will diminish, but clouds will be slow to clear,
possibly lingering into Friday morning, especially across southwest
Wisconsin.

Friday-Thursday:

As the upper level trough drops southeast towards the Ohio Valley
Friday into Saturday, weak ridging will build across the area with
mainly dry conditions. With little change in airmass expected, highs
likely will reach well into the 80s with some low 90s possible,
especially in warmer valley locations. The NBM shows probabilities
for 90 degree temps around  50% for some of the Mississippi River
valley locations with smaller chances (10-30%) across parts of
southwest/central Wisconsin.

Beyond Saturday, northwest flow aloft will continue into next week,
although there is model spread pertaining to the amplitude of the
flow and timing/progression of embedded waves which may help spawn
showers/storms. Overall, the strongest signal for storms right now
looks to be Monday into Tuesday with a more pronounced shortwave
trough and northward push of moisture transport. CSU machine
learning probabilities show low chances for severe storms late this
weekend into early next week, which appears reasonable given the
lower predictability scenario and more seasonable/modest instability
forecast. Meanwhile, the low-level baroclinic zone looks to shift
gradually south early next week, bringing a cooler airmass
southward. The global ensemble suite, however, shows large spread in
high temps on Monday, likely due to uncertainty in the placement of
the front/baroclinic zone and associated rain/storms. Ultimately,
heading through next week, the location of the frontal zone and
timing/placement of waves will impact shower/storm chances, but
predictability in these details is low at this time.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z FRIDAY/...
Issued at 1251 PM CDT Thu Aug 1 2024

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop in
Wisconsin and southeast Minnesota during the day. These storms
could produce gusty winds and heavy rainfall. Northwest winds
are expected through the TAF period. CIGS will remain between
2500ft and 5000ft during the afternoon and evening. Clouds will
clear out overnight leaving clear skies for Friday.
