640 PM CDT SAT JUN 14 2008

.DISCUSSION...

FA BETWEEN TWO ACTIVE WEATHER MAKERS AT THE CURRENT TIME. STRONG
TO SEVERE STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG A BOUNDARY OVER EASTERN IA
THIS AFTERNOON. OTHER STORMS WERE TAKING SHAPE ALONG A COLD FRONT
AND STRONG SHORT WAVE MOVING ACROSS ND. OUR LAPSWRF SHOWING STORMS
DEVELOPING/MOVING ACROSS OUR FAR NORTHERN MN CWA BETWEEN 00Z AND
04Z AND ACROSS THE NORTH METRO AND WESTERN WI IN THE 04Z TO 06Z
TIME FRAME. SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS NOW OUT FOR OUR NW CWA.

ADDITIONALLY...THE NMMWRF SHOWS MORE ACTIVITY DEVELOPING ACROSS
SOUTHERN MN IN THE 06Z TO 12Z TIME FRAME. THIS IS SUPPORTED BY
850-700MB FRONTOGENESIS FROM BOTH THE NAM AND GFS DEVELOPING ACROSS
THE AREA ALONG WITH INCREASING MOISTURE TRANSPORT AT 850MB. IN
FACT...PW IS FORECAST TO DOUBLE FROM 0.60 INCHES OVER SOUTHERN MN
TO 1.2 INCHES BY SUNDAY MORNING. IT SEEMS THAT THE WORST WOULD BE
OVER NORTHERN IA TONIGHT WHERE THE FOCUS IS ON THE MOISTURE
TRANSPORT...BUT THE EVENING SHIFT WILL NEED TO MONITOR THIS
SITUATION CLOSELY DUE TO THE RECENT HEAVY RAINS.

STILL LOOKS LIKE IMPROVING CONDITIONS ON SUNDAY IN THE WAKE OF THE
COLD FRONT. SOME INSTABILITY SHOWERS POSSIBLE OVER THE WI CWA IN
THE AFTERNOON. RIDGING AND HIGH PRESSURE DEVELOPING OVER THE
NORTHERN PLAINS FROM MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH COOL BUT DRY
WEATHER FORECAST FOR US. WARMING TREND FOR THE LATTER HALF OF
NEXT WEEK WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES RETURNING TO NORMAL VALUES ALONG
WITH SMALL POP CHANCES SPREADING SLOWLY EASTWARD ACROSS THE CWA.
