ALSO TO A LITTLE CLOSER LOOK AT WINDS OVERNIGHT AND DOES NOT APPEAR AS FAVORABLE FOR ADVISORY...SO HAVE CANCELLED WIND ADVISORY FOR TONIGHT...BUT MID SHIFT WILL STILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR POTENTIAL SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN WESTERN CWA. && .DISCUSSION... FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT WEATHER EVENT BEGINNING TO UNFOLD ACROSS THE AREA. LOW PRESSURE CENTERED OVER NORTHEASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA IS EXPECTED TO RAPIDLY INTENSIFY BETWEEN 23Z AND 02Z AS 120 KNOT JET STREAK ROUNDS THE BASE OF THE TROUGH. AS SPEED SHEAR INCREASES ACROSS THE AREA...EXPECTING SEVERE WEATHER THREAT TO INTENSIFY. STILL EXPECT TWO CONVECTIVE MODES THIS EVENING...WITH DISCRETE SUPERCELLS FORMING AHEAD OF MAIN CONVECTIVE LINE ALONG COLD FRONT. EXPECT POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES...ESPECIALLY WITH DISCRETE CELLS. SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WILL EVOLVE INTO HAIL AND WIND THREAT AS CONVECTIVE LINE CATCHES UP TO DISCRETE CELLS ALONG THE FRONT. COLD PUSH FAIRLY STRONG LATE TONIGHT...AND HAVE DECREASED LOWS SLIGHTLY. AS COLD AIR ADVECTION TAKES OVER...STRONG WINDS FROM ALOFT SHOULD MAKE IT TO THE SURFACE AND WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT LOOKS REASONABLE...THOUGH MAY START A LITTLE SOONER THAN WINDS BEGIN IN EARNEST. WINDY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH SUNDAY AND MONDAY...ALTHOUGH GRADUALLY WEAKENING THROUGH TIME AS GRADIENT SLOWLY WEAKENS OVER THE AREA. STRONGEST PUSH OF COLD ADVECTION MOVES EAST OF OUR AREA BY 12Z HOWEVER DEEP MIXING OF WESTERLY FLOW COULD RESULT IN WIND ADVISORY RANGE GUSTS AGAIN IN THE WESTERN CWA BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. HOWEVER... DUE TO COMPLEXITY OF ONGOING SITUATION...WILL NOT HEADLINE AT THIS TIME AND LEAVE THAT FOR THE MID SHIFT TO EXAMINE FURTHER. SHOWER CHANCES FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST STILL LOOKING GOOD ACROSS ESPECIALLY THE NORTHERN 2/3RDS OF THE CWA SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY... LINGERING ACROSS SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA MONDAY NIGHT. TEMPS WILL BE QUITE COOL WITH HIGHS IN THE 50S MONDAY AND TUESDAY. IN THE LONGER RANGE...FAVORING THE ECMWF FOR BROAD SCALE FEATURES... AS IT HAS BEEN MORE CONSISTENT OVERALL THAN GFS WHICH HAS BEEN HAVING TIMING STRENGTH ISSUES IN TRANSITIONAL PATTERN. MIDWEEK SHOULD REMAIN DRY WITH WEAK RIDGING SURFACE AND ALOFT. SURFACE AND 850MB FRONT STRENGTHENS TO OUR SOUTH ON THURSDAY...THEN PIVOTS NORTHWARD INTO THE EASTERN CWA BY LATER FRIDAY/FRIDAY NIGHT AS UPPER TROUGH CARVES OUT IN THE WEST AND SHORTWAVE EJECTS OUT OF THE TROUGH INTO OUR AREA. WILL MAINTAIN SLIGHT CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CWA LATER THURSDAY...THEN INCREASE MAINLY ACROSS THE CENTRAL/EAST THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. HOWEVER...STILL KEEPING IN LOWER CHANCE RANGE FOR NOW DUE TO MODEL INCONSISTENCIES. NOT MUCH CHANGE TO TEMPS AT THIS POINT. KEEPING IN THE 60S FOR THE MOST PART WITH FRONT EXPECTED TO BE SOUTH OF THE AREA THROUGH MOST OF THE PERIOD. && .FSD WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... SD...NONE. MN...NONE. IA...NONE.
