AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
323 AM CDT TUE APR 10 2007

.DISCUSSION...
FORECAST HIGHLIGHTED BY A COUPLE OF STORM SYSTEMS THAT COULD DROP
SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS A PART OF OUR FORECAST AREA...THE
FIRST OF WHICH IS CURRENTLY SITTING ON OUR DOORSTEP. WARM
ADVECTION/MID LEVEL FRONTOGENETIC PRECIP AREA HAS DEVELOPED OVER
THE PAST FEW HOURS ACROSS THE DAKOTAS...THE LEADING EDGE OF WHICH
EXTENDS FROM JUST WEST OF ABERDEEN TO WEST OF SIOUX CITY.
ASSOCIATED MID LEVEL CLOUD DECK HAS ENTERED THE SOUTHWESTERN THIRD
OF THE FORECAST AREA...GENERALLY INTO AREAS ALONG THE MINNESOTA
RIVER VALLEY. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE FAIRLY DRY LOW LEVELS
ARE PRESENT ACROSS THE BULK OF THE AREA...WITH DEW POINT
DEPRESSIONS APPROACHING 20 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT IN MOST LOCATIONS.
THIS WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE UNFOLDING PRECIP
SITUATION LATER TODAY. SURFACE LOW OF INTEREST SITS JUST WEST OF
THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE...WITH ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT EXTENDING
ROUGHLY ALONG THE NEBRASKA/SOUTH DAKOTA BORDER.

MID LEVEL FRONTOGENETIC AREA SHOULD MOVE INTO SOUTHWESTERN
MINNESOTA DURING THE 12 TO 15Z TIME FRAME TODAY...AS THE SURFACE
LOW MOVES INTO NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. SOUTHERLY 35 TO 40 KT LOW
LEVEL JET SHOULD RESULT IN A BIT OF AN INCREASE IN THE LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE ACROSS WESTERN AND SOUTH CENTRAL MINNESOTA...SO HAVE KEPT
THE HIGHER POPS IN THESE AREAS DURING THE MORNING HOURS...DESPITE
THE CURRENTLY HIGH SURFACE DEW POINT DEPRESSIONS. CROSS SECTIONS
AND ISOBARIC PLOTS OF RELATIVE HUMIDITY SHOW A SLOW EASTWARD
SPREAD IN THE SATURATION...AS THE MID LEVEL TROUGH SWINGS INTO THE
DAKOTAS TOWARD THIS EVENING. THE SATURATION IS CERTAINLY
ACCELERATED BY THE STRENGTH OF THE FRONTOGENETIC FORCING THAT
SETS UP ALONG AND JUST SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE 94 CORRIDOR THROUGH
MINNESOTA THIS AFTERNOON. CROSS SECTIONS THROUGH THE FRONTOGENETIC
ZONE SHOW SEVERAL FACTORS CONDUCIVE TO SOME HIGHER SNOWFALL
RATES TOWARD MIDDAY ALONG THIS CORRIDOR...INCLUDING SOME
INSTABILITY AND A FAVORABLE VERTICAL TEMPERATURE STRUCTURE.

A TRANSITION TAKES PLACE DURING THE LATE EVENING HOURS...AS A
SECONDARY SURFACE LOW/INVERTED TROUGH FORMS IN RESPONSE TO THE
AFOREMENTIONED MID LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE IOWA/MISSOURI REGION.
COUPLED UPPER JET STRUCTURE...ALONG WITH DIFFLUENT MID LEVEL FLOW
FROM THE NOW NEGATIVELY TILTED MID LEVEL TROUGH...LEADS TO A
REORIENTATION OF THE FRONTOGENESIS FROM EAST CENTRAL MINNESOTA
SOUTHEASTWARD INTO EASTERN IOWA. EXPLOSIVE UPWARD MOTION IS SEEN
IN BOTH THE NAM AND THE GFS IN RESPONSE TO THIS...TOWARD WEDNESDAY
MORNING. IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THAT DURING RUSH HOUR WEDNESDAY
MORNING...THE AREA BETWEEN THE TWIN CITIES AND ROCHESTER COULD BE
SEEING FAIRLY SIZEABLE SNOWFALL RATES.

HEADLINE WISE...WE ELECTED TO LEAVE MUCH OF OUR AREA IN A WINTER
STORM WATCH...WITH A COUPLE OF ISSUES DELAYING THE
ADVISORY/WARNING DECISION TO THE EAST OF A LINE FROM LITTLE
FALLS...TO THE TWIN CITIES...TO ALBERT LEA. THE FIRST OF THESE IS
THE POSSIBILITY THAT RAIN WILL BE MIXED IN...ESPECIALLY
INITIALLY...WITH PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS AREA TO WARM UP
TODAY. NOSE OF ABOVE FREEZING AIR NEAR THE 925 MB LEVEL SNEAKS
INTO THE EASTERN PART OF THE FORECAST AREA...WHICH THROWS AN ALL
SNOW SCENARIO HERE INTO A BIT OF DOUBT...DESPITE THE OPPORTUNITY
FOR EVAPORATIONAL COOLING OF THE COLUMN PRIOR TO PRECIP REACHING
THE SURFACE. THE SECOND IS CONTINUED UNCERTAINTY ABOUT WHERE
EXACTLY THE HEAVIEST SNOW WILL SET UP WITH THE SECOND ROUND.
THEREFORE...WE WILL ALLOW FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF MODEL RUNS TO
DECIDE ON ADVISORY/WARNING IN THESE AREAS. SNOW ADVISORY WAS
ISSUED FOR WESTERN MINNESOTA AND PARTS OF SOUTH CENTRAL
MINNESOTA...WITH PRECIP ALREADY SITTING JUST WEST OF THE AREA. IT
IS NOT LOOKING LIKELY THAT WE WILL HIT EITHER THE 8 INCHES IN 24
HOURS OR THE 6 INCHES IN 12 HOURS CRITERIA IN THESE AREAS.

SURFACE LOW GRADUALLY SHIFTS INTO THE CENTRAL GREAT LAKES BY
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...SIGNALING AN END TO THE SNOW FROM WEST TO EAST
AFTER MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SURFACE HIGH SLIDES ACROSS THE
AREA THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...AS STORM NUMBER TWO ORGANIZES
IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.

DPROG/DT OF THE LAST SEVERAL GFS RUNS SHOWS GOOD RUN-TO-RUN
CONSISTENCY IN THE MODEL...BRINGING THE SURFACE LOW FROM THE
OKLAHOMA/TEXAS PANHANDLE REGION 00Z FRIDAY...NORTHEASTWARD INTO
THE CHICAGO AREA BY 12Z SATURDAY. THIS PLACES SOUTHERN AND
EASTERN SECTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA IN A FAVORABLE DEFORMATION
AREA ON THE NORTHWEST SIDE OF THE LOW. THIS COULD BE ANOTHER
BORDERLINE WARM SYSTEM /LIKE THE ONE WE ARE DEALING WITH
CURRENTLY/...SO HAVE KEPT A MENTION OF RAIN/SNOW...ALONG WITH THE
WARMER MAX TEMPERATURES FOR THE FRIDAY/SATURDAY TIME FRAME. IF
THINGS COME IN JUST A BIT COOLER...WE COULD BE DEALING WITH
ANOTHER ADVISORY OR WARNING CRITERIA EVENT IN OUR SOUTHERN/EASTERN
AREAS FOR THE WEEKEND. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION IN OUR
HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK...AND GRAPHICAST THIS MORNING.

THANKS FOR THE EXCELLENT COLLABORATION THIS MORNING TO SURROUNDING
WFOS.
