AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
1126 AM CDT MON APR 2 2007

.UPDATE...
WINTER HEADLINE WILL BE COMING OUT FOR CENTRAL MINNESOTA AND PART
OF WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN BY 1230 PM. 12Z NAM HAS COME IN MORE
AGGRESSIVE AND FURTHER SOUTH THAN PRIOR RUNS OR OTHER GUIDANCE. IT
DELINEATES MID LEVEL FEATURES INDICATIVE OF BANDED SNOW. 12Z GFS
FURTHER NORTH WITH FEATURES BUT ON ITS USUAL COOL SIDE...SO BOTH
OPERATIONAL MODELS GIVING CREEDENCE TO POTENTIAL 6 OR MORE INCHES
IN PLACES FROM GLENWOOD OVER TO CAMBRIDGE AND POSSIBLY OVER
TOWARDS NEW RICHMOND WISCONSIN. SHOULD BE QUITE A GRADIENT IN
SNOWFALL TO THE SOUTH OF THAT AREA.

STILL A CHANCE FOR ELEVATED HAIL AND POTENTIALLY SOME HEAVY RAIN
IN FAR SOUTHERN MINNESOTA TONIGHT...PRIMARILY AFTER 8 PM.

.DISCUSSION...

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 430 AM CDT MON APR 2 2007/

DISCUSSION...
THE TIGHT MID LEVEL CIRCULATION RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RECENT WET
WEATHER PATTERN IS VISIBLE ON EARLY MORNING WATER VAPOR IMAGERY
OVER THE UP OF MICHIGAN. STRATOCU IN THE WAKE OF THE LOW HAS
CONTINUED TO PLAGUE THE FORECAST AREA OVERNIGHT...WITH THE
CLEARING LINE ACROSS THE SW TIP OF MN AT 09Z. HAVE PAINTED A
FAIRLY PESSIMISTIC PICTURE WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLEARING TODAY. GFS
925MB RH PROGS HAVE A PRETTY GOOD HANDLE ON THE CURRENT CLOUD
COVERAGE...AND INDICATES SOME PARTIAL SCATTERING OUT OF THE CLOUD
COVER MAY OCCUR TOWARD THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...THE 925 MB LEVEL
RAPIDLY SATURATES AGAIN AROUND/AFTER 00Z THIS EVENING ON THE
NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF A STRENGTHENING CENTRAL PLAINS SURFACE
TROUGH. THEREFORE EXPECT DIURNAL WARMING TO BE REDUCED
TODAY...ALTHOUGH STILL THINK GUIDANCE NUMBERS SEEM REASONABLE DUE
TO THE RELATIVELY WARM TEMPERATURES THAT WILL KICK OFF THE DAY.
SURFACE WARM FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH AFOREMENTIONED TROUGH WILL LIFT
NORTH INTO CENTRAL IOWA THIS AFTERNOON. BOTH NAM AND GFS MODELS
ARE FASTER WITH THEIR PROGGED MOISTENING AND ONSET OF UPGLIDE ON
THE 300K SURFACE...WITH BOTH OCCURRING ACROSS SOUTHWEST MN AROUND
18Z. THIS AREA LIFTS NORTH TO INCLUDE MOST OF THE CWA THIS
AFTERNOON. HAVE RETAINED THE THUNDER MENTION FOR ELEVATED
CONVECTION ACROSS THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST
AREA THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT...AS WARM AIR ADVECTION ENSUES IN
RESPONSE TO THE STRENGTHENING LLJ. SEVERE THREAT APPEARS
LOW...WITH SREF PROGGING THE DISPLACEMENT OF 700-500MB LAPSE RATES
GREATER THAN 7C TO REMAIN JUST SOUTH OF THE AREA...WHILE SUB-ZERO
NEGATIVE 850 LIFTED INDICES ON THE GFS AND NAM ARE ALONG AND SOUTH
OF THE IOWA BORDER.

AFTER THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...NEXT CONCERN IS THE CHANCE FOR
ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL ON TUESDAY. CONTINUE TO EXPECT THE PRECIPITATION
TYPE TO TRANSITION TO SNOW ACROSS WESTERN MN OVERNIGHT TONIGHT
INTO TUESDAY...WITH ALL LOCATIONS EXPERIENCING SNOW ON TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. HIGHEST SNOWFALL AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS WEST AND
NORTH CENTRAL MN...ROUGHLY FROM ALEXANDRIA TO MORA...WHERE
ACCUMULATIONS BY TUESDAY EVENING MAY RIVAL WARNING CRITERIA /6
INCHES/. STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY ON TIMING OF THE CHANGEOVER TO
SNOW...WHICH WOULD GREATLY AFFECT ACCUMULATIONS...SO WILL NOT
ISSUE ANY HEADLINES AT THIS POINT. THE MID LEVEL LOW SHIFTS TO THE
GREAT LAKES BY 06Z...WITH LINGERING LIGHT SNOW/FLURRIES THROUGH
WEDNESDAY. PRECIPITATION CLEARS OUT FOR THURSDAY...BUT BELOW
NORMAL TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEK.

AVIATION...FOR 12Z TAFS

FIRST CONCERN WILL BE MVFR STRATUS DECK THAT CONTINUES ACROSS THE
TAF SITES. CLOUD SHIELD HAS BEEN PERSISTENT IN SLOWLY SAGGING
SOUTH BUT LAST FEW SATELLITE IMAGES AND SFC OBS INDICATE SEVERAL
GAPS IN COVERAGE ON ITS SOUTHWEST FLANK NEAR KRWF AND TOWARDS
KFBL. EXPECT COVERAGE TO REMAIN ABUNDANT THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL
HOURS BEFORE MORE BREAKS OCCUR BY LATE MORNING. CIG LEVELS WILL BE
TRICKY BUT EXPECT GENERALLY BETWEEN 2 AND 3KFT WITH PERIODIC
SCATTERED CONDITIONS BY MID OR LATE MORNING.

NEXT CONCERN WILL BE ONSET OF PRECIP AHEAD OF NEXT STRONG LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM. MID LEVEL RADAR RETURNS ALREADY SHOWING UP ACROSS
NORTHERN IOWA WITH SOME LIGHT RAIN OR DRIZZLE REACHING THE GROUND
FROM HIGH CLOUD BASES. EXPECT THAT BAND OF RAIN WILL INCREASE AND MOVE
INTO SOUTHERN MN EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AS WARM ADVECTION INCREASES.
PRECIP WILL SPREAD NORTHEAST AS LOW LEVEL JET INTENSIFIES TO
AROUND 50 KTS THIS EVENING ACROSS IA SETTING UP STRONG SPEED
CONVERGENCE ACROSS SOUTHERN MN. THERE ARE HINTS OF SOME ELEVATED
INSTABILITY TONIGHT ACROSS THE SOUTH SO WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR
POSSIBLE ADDITION OF THUNDER FROM KRWF TO KMSP TO KRNH TO KEAU
LATE THIS EVENING. TO THE NORTH...COLD AIR WILL WRAP INTO THE
SYSTEM BY TUESDAY MORNING ALLOWING PRECIP TO CHANGE TO SNOW AT
KAXN AND KSTC. SNOW MAY BE HEAVY AT TIMES AT THESE SITES WITH
SEVERAL INCHES OF ACCUMULATION POSSIBLE. EXPECT THAT IT WILL BE
JUST AFTER THE VALID TAF PERIOD THAT KMSP AND KRNH TURN OVER TO
SNOW OR A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW WITH AN INCH OR TWO OF ACCUMULATION
POSSIBLE. ..MDB..
