AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
1154 PM CDT SUN AUG 3 2008

.AVIATION.../06Z TAF ISSUANCE/

CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED IN THE EASTERN END OF THE CORRIDOR OF
VERY STEEP LAPSE RATES AND NORTH OF THE MAIN FRONTAL BOUNDARY
OVER SOUTH CENTRAL MN. PRESENT INDICATIONS SUGGEST THAT THIS
AREA OF HIGH INSTABILITY WILL MIGRATE TO THE EAST SOUTHEAST OVER
SOUTHEAST MN INTO WEST CENTRAL WI OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL MAINLY
AFFECT KEAU..AND POSSIBLY KMSP AND KRNH FOR AN HOUR OR TWO.
OTHERWISE AN AREA OF MVFR CEILINGS FORM WEST CENTRAL WI INTO
SOUTHWEST MN WILL PERSIST OVERNIGHT BUT DECREASE SLOWLY ON THE
NORTH SIDE OVER CENTRAL MN. HOWEVER...AREAS OF CLEARING THAT
DEVELOP MAY BE REPLACED BY AREAS OF IFR IN CEILINGS AND FOG AND
POSSIBLY LOW IFR. THE LOW CEILINGS WILL LIFT AND BECOME SCT TO
BKN FROM NW TO SE OVER THE AREA DURING MID TO LATE MORNING.
ANOTHER WAVE ALONG THE JET STREAM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE DAKOTAS ON
MONDAY...WHICH COULD CAUSE SCT SHOWERS OR A TSTM AFTER 22Z OVER MN
TAF SITES. THE MAIN THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS WOULD BE OVER FAR
SOUTHERN MN...AND MAINLY AFFECT KRWF. GENERALLY VFR CONDITIONS CAN
BE EXPECTED AFTER 18Z.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION.../ISSUED 321 PM CDT SUN AUG 3 2008/

THE FORECAST CONCERNS CENTER AROUND SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL THIS
EVENING.

ELEVATED CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED AT NOSE OF 850-600MB THETA-E
ADVECTION AHEAD OF MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE ACROSS CNTRL MN INTO WRN
WI. THESE STORMS CONTINUE TO EVOLVE EASTWARD AT EDGE OF MID-LEVEL
CAP. THIS SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH THE LATE AFTN AND POSSIBILITY
INTO THE EVE WITH STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND ASSOCIATED
MUCAPES OF 2000-4000 J/KG. LARGE CAPE INDICATED ALSO IN THE MAIN
HAIL GROWTH REGION. ELEVATED SUPERCELLS HAVE TAKEN OVER AS
PRIMARY MODE AND EXPECT THAT TO CONTINUE LOOKING AT OBSERVATIONAL
DATA /VAD PROFILER/ AND MESOANALYSIS DATA. HAIL THE MOST LIKELY
THREAT WITH THESE THROUGH THE DAYLIGHT HOURS.

CONCERN FOR BOUNDARY LAYER BASED CONVECTION IS GROWING IN SOUTH
CTRL MN...WITH INITIATION BETWEEN 5 PM AND 8 PM APPEARING LIKELY.
1005MB SFC LOW HAS EVOLVED INTO FAR SE SD DURING THE MIDDLE OF
THIS AFTN...WITH ASSOCIATED SFC WARM FRONT DRAPED NEAR OR JUST
NORTH OF I-90. THIS HAS BEEN DIABATICALLY ENHANCED DUE TO CLOUD
COVER TO THE NORTH AND BAKING HEAT TO THE SOUTH. CUMULUS CLOUD
STREETS /POSSIBLY HORIZONTAL CONVECTIVE ROLLS/ HAVE SHOWN UP IN
ERN TO NERN IA AND ARE ADVECTING INTO SOUTH CTRL MN. STILL A GREAT
AMOUNT OF SURFACE BASED AND MIXED-LAYER CIN IN THAT AREA AS
INDICATED BY DIAGNOSTIC SOUNDINGS...ALONG WITH THE BASIC H7 TEMPS
A WARM 15C. BUT...SHORTWAVE OR VORT MAXIMA EXTENSION FROM
AFOREMENTIONED WAVE IN CTRL MN IS PRESENT ON SATELLITE CHANNELS IN
SOUTH CTRL SD. ASSOCIATED HEIGHT FALLS AHEAD OF THIS INDICATED ON
THE RUC MODEL COMING ACROSS INTO ERN SD AND SOON INTO SRN MN.
SHORT RANGE HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS INDICATE THIS IS ENOUGH TO
TRIGGER CONVECTION IN SRN MN. CONVECTIVE TEMPS FOR TRIGGERING SFC
BASED CONVECTION WILL BE CLOSE TO BEING REACHED...WITH ADAPTED
FORECAST SOUNDINGS FOR DEW POINTS IN THE 75-77F BALLPARK
INDICATING CONVECTIVE TEMPS TO NEAR 90F NEEDED FROM FAIRMONT UP TO
MANKATO. DEEP LAYER SHEAR OF 40-50 KTS DUE TO INCREASING MID-LEVEL
FLOW WITH ASSOCIATED SHORTWAVE IS PLENTY SUFFICIENT FOR
SUPERCELLS. 0-1KM SHEAR PREDICTED BY THE RUC AND NAM TO BE BETWEEN
20-30 KTS...HELPED IN PART BY THE RE-INCREASING LLJ. BACKED LOW
LEVEL FLOW IN OUR SOUTH CTRL COUNTIES ALSO AIDING POTENTIAL FOR
TORNADOES. IT WOULD SEEM LIKE THE GREATEST CHANCE FOR TORNADOES WOULD
BE SOON AFTER INITIATION. SIG TOR POTENTIAL SEEMS BRIEF BUT
POSSIBLE ACCORDING TO SREF PROBABILITIES ALONG WITH LOCAL RESEARCH
REGRESSIONS FOR FAVORABLE SIG TOR PARAMETERS. DOWNBURST POTENTIAL
AND LARGE HAIL SEEM VERY LIKELY WITH CELLS DUE TO THE STRONG CAPE
AND DCAPE AVAILABLE TO WORK WITH IN THAT AREA. MOST LIKELY TIMING
FOR BOUNDARY-LAYER BASED SUPERCELLS WOULD BE 5 PM TO 10 PM. HAVE
SVR MENTIONED IN THE FORECAST GRIDS DURING THAT TIME.

AS LLJ INTENSIFIES AND FOCUSES INTO SE MN AND WRN WI AHEAD OF SHORT
WAVE THIS EVE...CONVECTION SHOULD INCREASE IN AREAL
COVERAGE...INCLUDING IN ERN MN AND WRN WI. THIS SHOULD BE
ELEVATED IN ERN MN AND WRN WI...WITH STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES
CONTINUING TO FEED THE CONVECTION. EVENTUAL ORGANIZATION SEEMS
LIKELY...GIVEN FAVORABLE MCS/DERECHO PARAMETERS...THAT WOULD
ESPECIALLY TAKE OFF OVER SE MN INTO SRN WI LATE THIS EVE INTO
OVERNIGHT. SO HAVE HIGHEST POPS THIS EVE AND THEN BEGIN SLOWLY
TAILORING BACK...ESPECIALLY IN THE WEST AS SFC COLD FRONT/TROUGH
EXTENDING NWRD FROM THE SFC LOW WORK EASTWARD INTO THE FORECAST
AREA. THE LIGHT LOW LEVEL WIND FLOW ALONG WITH NO STRONG DRY AIR
ADVECTION SHOULD LEAD TO FOG/STRATUS DEVELOPMENT ACROSS MUCH OF
THE MN CWA AND POSSIBLY THE WI CWA BY VERY LATE TONIGHT.

FOR MON...EVERYTHING EVOLVES SLIGHTLY SOUTHWARD INCLUDING THE
UPPER LEVEL JET AND COOLER MID-LEVEL TEMPS. THIS WILL HELP TO AID
CONVECTION...POSSIBLY SEVERE DURING THE AFTN AND EVE ON MON. THE
MAIN SFC BOUNDARY SHOULD BE TOO OUR SOUTH...HELPED IN PART BY THE
CONVECTION TONIGHT.

DRY AIR ADVECTION BEGINS TO OOZE INTO THE REGION BY LATE MON NIGHT
INTO TUES. REALLY LOOKS LIKE A PLEASANT WEEK AFTER THAT POINT AS
ERN NA LONG WAVE TROUGH RE-ESTABLISHES ITSELF. POCKETS OF VORT
MAXIMA SEEN ON THE WEST SIDE OF THIS MAY LEAD TO SMALL CHANCES
FOR SHOWERS BUT THIS CONTINUES TO FAVOR THE CTRL GREAT LAKES
REGION MORE. HAVE BUMPED DOWN MIN TEMPS FOR FRI INTO NEXT
WEEKEND...CLOSER TO LOWER VALUES OF 00Z MEN GUIDANCE BASED ON
850MB TEMPS CREEPING INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS INTO CTRL MN AND WRN
WI.
