Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 2:23 PM CDT, 6 hours 18 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
223 PM CDT WED JUN 11 2008

.DISCUSSION...
THE FORECAST CHALLENGES OR PROBLEMS DURING THE PERIOD ARE THE THREAT
OF SEVERE WEATHER THIS EVENING AND HEAVY RAIN ANTICIPATED TO OCCUR
THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA.

IN THE NEAR TERM...SFC LOW PRESSURE AREA OVER EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA
IS FORECAST TO LIFT NORTH OVER ONTARIO CANADA BY FRIDAY EVENING.
AIRMASS OVER SOUTH CENTRAL MN AND WESTERN WISCONSIN...SHOULD
CONTINUE TO DESTABLIZE AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT/DRYLINE OVER EASTERN
NEBRASKA AND SOUTH DAKOTA. DEWPOINTS CONTINUE TO POOLED ALONG THE
BOUNDARY IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 60S. CLOUDS HAD THINNED OUT OVER
SOUTHERN MINNESOTA INTO SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN THIS AFTERNOON.  CAP
STRENGTH WAS NEGILIBLE OVER THE FORECAST AREA(VERY WEAK AT THIS
TIME) SO EXPECTED EXPOSIVE REDVELOPMENT OVER AFORMENTIONED AREA
LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THERE STILL REMAINS A SMALL
TORNADO THREAT WEST AND SOUTH OF A MARSHALL TO ALBERT LEA LINE
BEFORE MIDNIGHT. ISOLATED ELEVATED SUPERCELL LIKELY NORTH OF THE
WARM FRONT OVER CENTRAL MINNESOTA AND WESTERN WISCONSIN...PRODUCING
SOME LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.  THE MAIN PROBLEM WILL BE HEAVY
RAIN...AGGRAVATING THE FLOODING THAT ALREADY IS OCCURRING OR
INCREASING THE FLOOD THREAT. RIGHT HEADWATER AND FLASH FLOOD
GUIDANCE VALUES ARE OVER TWO INCHES OVER MOST OF OUR FORECAST AREA.

IN THE MEDIUM AND LONG RANGE...BOTH THE LATEST GFS/EUROPEAN MODELS
AMPLIFY LONGWAVE UPPER RIDGE OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS. THIS WILL ALLOW
THE UPPER MIDWEST TO DRY OUT FOR A FEW DAYS.

BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON...THE MODELS HAVE THE MAIN UPPER LOW WELL
NORTHEAST OVER CANADA. THE WEATHER WILL REMAIN UNSETTLED OVER THE
WESTERN GREAT LAKES...WITH STEEPE LAPSE RATES AND PLENTY LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE IN PLACE OVER AREA. EXPECT A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE WEATHER DRYS
OUT EARLY NEXT WEEK AS UPPER RIDGE BUILDS OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST
NEXT WEEK.

&&
.AVIATION... /18Z TAF ISSUANCE/

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DIMINISHING ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND
SOUTHWEST MN WITH EXTENSIVE CLOUD SHIELD BEGINNING TO BREAK UP.
WARM FRONT IS JUST INTO SOUTHERN MN ATTM. FRONT TO STRETCH NW-SE
ALONG THE MN RIVER BY THIS EVENING AS LOW PRESSURE MOVES SLOWLY
NORTH IN EASTERN SD. IMPROVING CONDITIONS FOR THE TAF SITES THIS
AFTERNOON AS MAIN SHIELD OF PRECIPITATION SHIFTS INTO THE NORTHERN
HALF OF MN AND NW WI. THUNDERSTORMS REDEVELOPING ALONG AND AHEAD
OF THE COLD FRONT TRAILING SOUTH FROM THE LOW. STILL LOOKS LIKE AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE TWIN CITIES
ON SOUTHWEST INTO WESTERN AND CENTRAL IA TONIGHT. THIS IS
REFLECTED IN THE APPROPRIATE TAFS WITH CEILINGS EXPECTED TO DROP
UNDER 1000 FEET OVERNIGHT IN HEAVY RAIN/THUNDERSTORMS. SLOW
IMPROVEMENT THURSDAY MORNING TO THE CEILINGS.
