(EXTRACTED FROM FXUS63 KARX 260403) National Weather Service La Crosse WI 1103 PM CDT Thu Apr 25 2024 Issued at 1040 PM CDT Thu Apr 25 2024 Initial quiet conditions with mostly clear skies will make way to an impending cloud deck seen over western Iowa at TAF issuance. Associated flight restrictions march northeast overnight, reaching local counties in northeast Iowa near 26.12Z. A quick drop to IFR is expected after MVFR becomes realized. The southwest to northeasterly trajectory brings MVFR ceilings along the Mississippi River Valley by the early afternoon. Thunder potential remains in flux. While confidence within the local area is moderate-high, nailing down the exact location remains a challenge. Therefore, given the 18 hour forecast window, have omitted any mention for thunder at 26.06Z TAF. Ongoing Low Level Wind Shear expected to continue into the early morning hours at KLSE. Models would suggest another bout returning tonight, as surface winds calm and the low level jet persists. Timing of frontal features and associated jet will aide coming forecasts in subsequent LLWS potential. JAR
