AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
223 PM CST FRI FEB 8 2008

.AVIATION.../18Z TAF ISSUANCE/
LOW CLOUDS AND STRATUS LOOK TO REMAINED TRAPPED OVER THE REGION
WITH LITTLE IN THE WAY OF LOW LEVEL FLOW EXPECTED UNTIL LATE
TONIGHT AS THE ARCTIC FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA. CEILINGS WILL BE
NEAR 1K FEET THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD...WITH VISIBILITIES
RUNNING BETWEEN 2 AND 4 MILES FOR MOST OF THE TIME. SOME LIGHT
SNOW MOVED THROUGH EARLIER IN ASSOCIATION WITH A SHORTWAVE AND
SOME ISENTROPIC LIFT ON THE 285K SURFACE...BUT THIS HAS
ESSENTIALLY EXITED THE AREA... WITH FOG BEING THE MAIN REDUCER TO
VISILIBILITY AT THIS POINT. THE FROPA WILL OCCUR FROM WEST TO EAST
SATURDAY MORNING...WITH WINDS PICKING UP DRAMATICALLY BEHIND THE
FRONT. WINDS IN THE MIXED LAYER ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN EXCESS OF
35KT...SO SOME SURFACE GUSTS IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD CAN BE
EXPECTED...ESPECIALLY OVER THE WEST AND SOUTH...WHICH COULD
PRODUCE SOME LOWER VISIBILITIES DUE TO BLOWING SNOW DURING THE MORNING.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...

/ISSUED AT 330 AM CST FRI FEB 8 2008/

SCATTERED AREAS OF -SN WILL CONTINUE TODAY AHEAD OF WEAK TROUGH
CURRENTLY IN E DKTS.  ANY PRECIPITATION IN WC MN SHOULD BE JUST
DURING THE MORNING. TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT UNDER CLOUDS AND SOUTH
WINDS WERE NEARLY STEADY OR ROSE A BIT.  WITH SUCH A MILD START
AFTERNOON HIGHS NEAR 30 SHOULD BE REACHED ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA.

STRONG WIND JAMMER STILL LOOKS TO IMPACT THE AREA ON SATURDAY. AHEAD
OF THIS SYSTEM TEMPERATURES WILL BE FAIRLY MILD FOR MOST OF THE
COMING NIGHT...EXCEPT FOR THE WC WHERE A SHARP DROP WILL OCCUR LATE
TONIGHT.  VERY FAST MOVEMENT OF THIS SYSTEM ACROSS THE AREA WILL
MINIMIZE SNOW POTENTIAL...BUT A HALF INCH TO UP TO AN INCH POSSIBLE
ALONG ARCTIC FRONT.  MAIN CONCERN THEN BECOMES POTENTIAL OF BLOWING
SNOW ON SATURDAY.  MODELS STILL SHOWING NEARLY UNIDIRECTIONAL WINDS
FROM SURFACE THRU 300 MB IN WAKE OF COLD FRONT WITH FAIRLY STRONG
SURFACE PRESSURE RISES IN WAKE OF COLD FRONT.  THIS IS PROBABLY THE
BEST JET SUPPORT WEVE SEEN FOR STRONG SURFACE WINDS ALL WINTER WITH
150 KNOT JET COMING IN. CURRENTLY MUCH OF WC MN HAS LITTLE OR ALMOST
NO SNOW...BLOWING SNOW POTENTIAL WILL BE MINIMIZED UNLESS THIS
SYSTEM IS ABLE TO SQUEEZE OUT SOME PRECIP.  HIGH TEMPERATURES
SATURDAY WILL GENERALLY BE EARLY IN THE DAY.

WILL CONTINUE WITH BLOWING SNOW WORDING ACROSS AREA ON SATURDAY AS
FRONT PASSES WITH SOME BS STILL POSSIBLE MAINLY IN THE EAST ON
SATURDAY EVENING.  WILL LIKELY NEED SOME HEADLINES FOR
SATURDAY...EITHER WIND OR WINTER WEATHER DEPENDING ON SNOW PRODUCED.
A WIND CHILL ADVISORY OR EVEN A WARNING WILL BE NEEDED FOR SATURDAY
NIGHT AS TEMPERATURES FALL INTO THE TEENS BELOW ZERO WITH CONTINUED
GUSTY WINDS.  HOWEVER...DO NOT WISH TO POST A 4TH PERIOD WIND CHILL
WATCH WITH POTENTIAL OF OTHER HEADLINES OCCURING PRIOR TO THIS
EVENT.

SHARP COOL DOWN WILL BE SHORT-LIVED AS PATTERN IS QUITE PROGRESSIVE
WITH WARMUP ALREADY STARTING SUNDAY NIGHT.

ECMWF A BIT MORE AGRESSIVE THAN THE GFS WITH UPPER TROF AFFECTING
THE AREA MONDAY/MONDAY WITH WITH ECMWF CLOSING OFF 500 MB TROUGH AS
IT MOVES INTO WISCONSIN.  BUMPED UP POPS JUST A BIT EASTERN AREAS.
