$$What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Twin Cities, MN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Aug 24, 4:33 AM CDT, 11 hours 13 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 24, 4:33 AM CDT, 11 hours 13 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN 433 AM CDT THU AUG 24 2006 .DISCUSSION... COMPLEX FORECAST IN THE IMMEDIATE SHORT TERM WITH APPROACHING SFC LOW PRESSURE CIRCULATION...WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY CURRENTLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CWA...AND APPROACHING SHORT WAVE TROUGHS. WEST TO EAST FRONTAL BOUNDARY CURRENTLY PARKED ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN MINNESOTA AND ARCING DOWN THROUGH SOUTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN. SFC CIRCULATION OBSERVED ACROSS SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA WITH COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHWEST INTO NORTHWEST NEBRASKA AND MAKING SLOW EAST TO SLIGHTLY ENE PROGRESS. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS MAIN UPPER TROF ACROSS WRN MT/CENT ID WITH EVIDENCE OF ANOTHER SW TROF OUT AHEAD OF THAT ACROSS ERN MT AND WORKING INTO WRN ND. BULK OF THE CWA WILL BE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF QUASI STATIONARY WEST TO EAST FRONTAL BOUNDARY THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY. CAPPING WILL BE WEAKER IN THIS REGION AND INSTABILITY GROWS TO BETWEEN 1000 AND 2000 J/KG BY LATE AFTERNOON WITH STRONG 0-6KM SHEAR ON THE ORDER OF 50-60 KTS AS LOW LEVEL WIND FIELD RAPIDLY INTENSIFIES AHEAD OF APPROACHING SHORT WAVES. THIS REGION ALSO TO BE INFLUENCED BY RIGHT ENTRANCE OF DEPARTING UPPER JET AND LEFT EXIT OF ADVANCING UPPER JET FROM SOUTH DAKOTA...COMBINED WITH ENERGY PROVIDED BY AFOREMENTIONED LEAD SW TROF...BOTH OF WHICH WILL AID OVERCOMING INHIBITION. STORMS THAT DEVELOP IN THIS AREA WILL BE CAPABLE OF LARGE HAIL WITH STEEP LAPSE RATES AND VERY STRONG DEEP LAYER SHEAR TO SUPPORT ROTATING UPDRAFTS. TORNADOES WILL BE A SECONDARY THREAT WITH ANY STORMS THAT CAN BECOME SUPERCELLULAR AND BE ROOTED IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO BOUNDARY...WHICH WILL REMAIN ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CWA BEFORE ADVANCING NORTHWARD TOWARDS THE CENTRAL CWA THIS EVENING AS SFC LOW ENTERS MINNESOTA. THE BEST LOCATION FOR TORNADO POTENTIAL THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING WILL BE ALONG AND JUST NORTH OF THIS FRONT. ORGANIZATION INTO AN MCS EXPECTED AS LLJ INCREASES TO 45 KTS AND CONVERGENCE MAXIMIZES OVER SOUTHEAST MN AND WEST CENT WI OVERNIGHT. PWATS INCREASE TO AROUND 1.75 INCHES INDICATING POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN ALONG THE WEST TO EAST BOUNDARY WITH A SHIFT EASTWARD AS THE SFC LOW COMES ACROSS. SFC LOW/COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO BE THE FOCUS FOR SFC BASED CONVECTION TO THE SOUTHWEST LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY THIS EVENING...AND ENTERS THE SW CWA AROUND/AFTER 00Z. INSTABILITY WILL BE GREATER SOUTH OF QUASI STATIONARY BOUNDARY ALREADY IN PLACE WITH 2000 TO 3000 J/KG EXPECTED WITH 50-60 KTS OF SHEAR SHEAR IN THIS AREA AS WELL. CAP WILL BE STRONGER IN THE SW CWA...BUT EDGE OF WARMEST MID LEVEL TEMPS WILL BE NEAR THE SW BORDER. APPROACHING LEAD SHORT WAVE MAY BE ABLE TO ACT ENOUGH TO WEAKEN THE CAP OUT AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT AND KICK OFF STORMS WELL OUT IN ADVANCE THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED THROUGH THE DAY. BULK OF THE WARM SECTOR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE ALONG THE FRONT COINCIDENT WITH MAIN TRAILING SHORTWAVE ALOFT. ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR SUPERCELLS...ESPECIALLY IF STORMS CAN FORM IN AREA OF A WEAKENED CAP OUT AHEAD OF THE FRONT. LINEAR FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH THE COLD FRONT WILL BE QUITE STRONG AND SHOULD ALLOW QUICK TRANSITION TO MORE OF A LINEAR CONVECTIVE MODE IMMEDIATELY ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT. LARGE HAIL AND TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THIS AREA AS WELL BUT CONVECTIVE COVERAGE EXPECTED TO BE MORE LIMITED GIVEN CAPPING. SYSTEM DEPARTS THE CWA BY MIDDAY FRIDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE FILLING ITS PLACE. SFC LOW PLACEMENT FAIRLY DIFFERENT BETWEEN NAM-WRF...GFS...AND UKMET BY 12Z SATURDAY...BUT EACH ONE DOES INDICATE THAT SATURDAY SHOULD REMAIN DRY...WITH ADDED CONFIDENCE OVER PREVIOUS RUNS. SFC FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS WELL TO THE EAST AND SOUTH WITH RIDGING ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA. BY SATURDAY EVENING UKMET AND NAM-WRF QUITE SIMILAR WITH SFC FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS KANSAS AND EXTENDING NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH SOUTHEAST IOWA/NORTHEAST MISSOURI BORDER. EACH ALSO FIRES A LARGE AMOUNT OF CONVECTION ON THE COOL SIDE OF THE BOUNDARY ACROSS IOWA SATURDAY NIGHT. SFC LOW REMAINS OVER OKLAHOMA BEFORE RUNNING NORTHEAST ALONG THE BOUNDARY SUNDAY AND ON INTO MONDAY. THIS SOLUTION MUCH SLOWER THAN PREVIOUS RUNS WHICH HAD SUGGESTED CHANCES FOR SOME RAIN ACROSS THE SOUTHERN CWA. ANTICIPATE SFC ANTICYCLONIC FLOW REMAINING OVER THE LOCAL AREA KEEPING THE FORECAST DRY...BUT WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON TIMING AND TRACK OF LOW BOUNDARY POSITION FOR POSSIBLE ADDITION OF POPS LATER IN THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK. LONGER TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY A WEAK UPPER TROUGH IS FORECAST TO TRAIPSE ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST ON SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. HOWEVER...EASTERLY LOW LEVEL TRAJECTORIES AND ATTENDANT LACK OF MOISTURE WILL KEEP POPS BELOW 20 PERCENT. OTHERWISE...MID LEVEL RIDGING IS FORECAST TO BUILD EAST INTO THE CENTRAL CONUS DURING THE EXTENDED PERIOD. THIS WILL YIELD A CONTINUED DRY FORECAST...WITH NEAR TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES EXPECTED THROUGH THE END OF THE MONTH. && .MPX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MN...NONE.

CROIX-PIERCE-DUNN-PEPIN-EAU CLAIRE- 534 AM CDT THU AUG 24 2006 THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL MINNESOTA...AND WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN. .DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT THERE IS MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN MINNESOTA AND FAR WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN. THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS THE REST OF THE OUTLOOK AREA. SEVERAL WEATHER FEATURES WILL BRING POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER DEVELOPMENT TODAY AND TONIGHT. THE FIRST FOCUS FOR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE A NEARLY STATIONARY WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY POSITIONED ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN MINNESOTA AND WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THE ATMOSPHERE TO THE NORTH OF THIS BOUNDARY WILL BECOME UNSTABLE AS TEMPERATURES WARM UP AND MOISTURE INCREASES. THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG AND NORTH OF THIS BOUNDARY. STRONG VERTICAL WIND SHEAR AND MODERATE INSTABILITY WILL ALLOW THESE STORMS TO POTENTIALLY BECOME SEVERE...WITH LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND ISOLATED TORNADOES POSSIBLE. THE GREATEST RISK FOR TORNADOES WILL BE ALONG AND JUST NORTH OF THE FRONT...OR SOUTHWEST OF AN ALEXANDRIA TO ST. CLOUD MINNESOTA TO NEW RICHMOND TO MENOMONIE WISCONSIN LINE. THE FRONT WILL BEGIN TO MOVE NORTH AND EAST TOWARDS SOUTH CENTRAL MINNESOTA AND FAR WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN THIS EVENING. STORMS THAT DEVELOP ALONG THIS FRONT WILL LIKELY EXPAND INTO A LARGE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX LATE THIS EVENING BRINGING HEAVY RAIN WITH IT. A SECOND AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND COLD FRONT MOVING EAST OUT OF SOUTH DAKOTA. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY BE CONFINED TO THE IMMEDIATE LOCATION OF THE COLD FRONT WHICH WILL ENTER SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA THIS EVENING. SOME ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP WELL AHEAD OF THE FRONT ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHERN MINNESOTA AND SOUTH OF THE NEARLY STATIONARY WARM FRONT. ALL OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS...ALONG WITH ISOLATED TORNADOES. THIS ACTIVITY WILL MOVE EASTWARD LATE TONIGHT. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY LINGER INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS FRIDAY IN WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN...BUT THEY ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW SEVERE LEVELS AT THIS TIME. NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED THROUGH WEDNESDAY. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... SKYWARN SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. MDB
