1121 AM CDT SAT AUG 8 2009

...MORE HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...

.A FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH TONIGHT ACROSS
PORTIONS OF CENTRAL MINNESOTA...THE TWIN CITIES METROPOLITAN
AREA...AS WELL AS ACROSS MUCH OF WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN. 

HEAVY RAIN OCCURRED OVERNIGHT FROM WEST OF THE TWIN CITIES THROUGH
THE WESTERN AND SOUTHERN SUBURBS OF THE TWIN CITIES AND INTO
ADJOINING AREAS OF WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN. RAIN AMOUNTS OF 3 TO 5
INCHES WERE MEASURED OVERNIGHT FROM HUTCHINSON THROUGH
WACONIA...CHASKA...PRIOR LAKE TO RIVER FALLS WISCONSIN. ONE TO TWO
INCH RAINS WERE COMMON SURROUNDING THIS BAND OF VERY HEAVY RAIN. 

MORE THUNDERSTORMS...WITH TORRENTIAL RAINS...ARE EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP ONCE AGAIN LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR EARLY THIS EVENING AND
CONTINUE FOR A TIME TONIGHT ACROSS THE WATCH AREA AS A LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM ADVANCES EASTWARD FROM SOUTH DAKOTA.

THE EXPECTED HEAVY RAIN WILL BE OVER AN AREA THAT IS SATURATED OR
NEARLY SATURATED FROM THE RAIN LAST NIGHT. THIS MAY LEAD TO FLASH
FLOODING THAT DEVELOPS RATHER QUICKLY.

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP THAT LEAD
TO FLASH FLOODING. MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE
ACTION SHOULD FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS BE ISSUED.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
630 PM CDT FRI AUG 7 2009

.DISCUSSION...

TONIGHT...SFC WARM FRONT DEVELOPING FROM NORTHERN NEBRASKA EASTWARD
INTO NORTHWEST IOWA AND EXTENDING INTO SOUTHEASTERN IOWA THIS
AFTERNOON...IN CONJUNCTION WITH LOW PRESSURE ACROSS THE
CENTRAL/EASTERN DAKOTAS... WILL PUSH NORTHWARD THROUGH THE EVENING.
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH EJECTING FROM EASTERN
COLORADO INTO WESTERN NEBRASKA. VERY WARM MID LEVEL AIR ACROSS FAR
SOUTHWESTERN MN INTO SD/NE/IA WILL CONTINUE TO LIMIT CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT A LITTLE LONGER. ABUNDANT STRATUS FOLLOWING THIS
MORNING/S RAIN CONTINUES ACROSS THE AREA WHICH HAS KEPT SFC BASED
INSTABILITY FROM DEVELOPING IN THE CWA. ELEVATED INSTABILITY IS IN
PLACE WITH SFC BASED INSTABILITY STILL EXPECTED TO PUSH NORTHWARD
INTO THE SOUTHWESTERN AND SOUTHERN CWA THROUGH THE EVENING. BASED ON
CURRENT TRENDS AND LOCATION OF WARM FRONT AND UPPER WAVE CONVECTION
IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN THE SD/IA/NE TRI-STATE BORDER AREA BY
AROUND 00Z.

MAIN QUESTION REVOLVES AROUND EVOLUTION OF CONVECTION THROUGH THE
EVENING AND ASSOCIATED SEVERE POTENTIAL. THE WARM FRONT LOOKS TO
REMAIN ACROSS FAR NORTHERN IOWA THROUGH 00Z AND MAY BE AS FAR
NORTH AS THE EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN CWA 03Z. MAIN AREA OF CONVECTION
IS EXPECTED TO MOVE EASTWARD ALONG OR JUST SOUTH OF THE MN/IA
BORDER AND EVOLVE INTO AN MCS AS IT DOES SO. TORNADO THREAT LOOKS
TO BE CONFINED TO AREAS NEAR THE IA BORDER AND SLIGHTLY
NORTHWESTWARD INTO FAR SW MN... BUT THE STORMS MAY EVOLVE MORE
INTO A COMPLEX BY THE TIME IT REACHES THE CWA. OTHER NEGATIVE
FACTORS FOR TORNADOES EXIST BY THE TIME STORMS AND OR THE WARM
FRONT REACH THE CWA...MOST NOTABLY LOW LEVEL CIN IS FORECAST TO BE
STRONG THROUGH THE EVENING WITH VALUES OF GREATER THAT 150 J/KG.
WITH THE APPROACH OF THE SHORTWAVE SHRA/TSRA COVERAGE IS EXPECTED
TO EXPAND NORTHEASTWARD IN CONJUNCTION WITH INCREASING LOW LEVEL
JET NOSING INTO SOUTHERN MN. CAVEAT WOULD BE MCS HUGGING THE MN/IA
BORDER WHICH WOULD MITIGATE NORTHWARD DEVELOPMENT DURING THE LATE
EVENING BUT WILL CONTINUE WITH LIKELY POPS FOCUSED FROM KRWF TO
KMSP TO KEAU INTO THE OVERNIGHT WITH HAIL AND SOME WIND POTENTIAL
CONTINUING. BULK OF ANY PRECIP THAT OCCURS TONIGHT WILL BE EXITING
THE AREA BY AROUND 12Z AS WARM FRONT PUSHES INTO THE CENTRAL CWA.
..MDB..

WARM FRONT WILL LIKELY BE SUPPRESSED SOMEWHAT SOUTHWARD WITH IOWA
MCS... BUT ONCE THE MCS GOES BY... FRONT SHOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE
INTO SRN MN TOMORROW MORNING. SOME DIFFERENCE IN POSITIONING
BETWEEN THE NAM AND GFS. NAM BRINGS IT TO ABOUT RWF/RGK WHILE GFS
IS A LITTLE FARTHER NORTH AND SWINGS SFC LOW ON A MORE NORTHWARD
TRACK. REGARDLESS...A GOOD SHARE OF OUR MN CWA IS AT RISK FROM
SIGNIFICANT SVR WX. NAM LIFTED INDICES GO AS LOW AS -12 TOMORROW
AFTERNOON WITH POCKETS OF SFC BASED CAPES OVER 6000. 250MB WIND
MAX INTENSIFIES SLIGHTLY AS IT TREKS ACROSS CENTRAL MN TOMORROW
MIDDAY... AND THE NAM 0-6KM SHEAR IS ON THE ORDER OF 85 TO 90
KNOTS. LCLS ON THE ORDER OF 4000-5000 FT AT INITIATION. GFS ALSO
VERY IMPRESSIVE WITH SVR WX PARAMETERS BUT IT IS A COUPLE DEGREES
WARMER WITH INCOMING HOT/DRY AIR AT MID LEVELS APPROACHING FROM
THE SW...AND BRINGS IT A LITTLE FARTHER INTO MN. BUT SVR WX LOOKS
A GOOD BET EVEN WITH THE GFS...JUST DISPLACED A BIT FARTHER NW.
WILL NOT BE SURPRISED TO SEE A FEW TORNADOES.

ONCE THIS GOES BY...SHORT WAVES ARE EMBEDDED IN BROAD UPPER TROUGH
THAT APPEARS TO BEGIN SHEARING OUT. WILL CARRY CHC STORMS THROUGH
SUNDAY NIGHT IN ALL AREAS THROUGH SVR WX THREAT WOULD MAINLY BE IN
OUR SOUTHEAST COUNTIES SUNDAY. COULD BE SOME SHOWERS MONDAY IN
NORTHWEST FLOW FROM MILLE LACS TO LADYSMITH AND EAU CLAIRE. AFTER
THAT... BROAD WSW UPPER FLOW RETURNS AND HOT/HUMID WX MOVES IN.

&&

.AVIATION.../00Z TAF ISSUANCE/
THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE TONIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING ARE PRECIP
CHANCES AND CEILING HEIGHTS. WARM FRONT DRAPED JUST SOUTHWEST OF
MOST TAF SITES...WILL SLOWLY LIFT NORTHEAST OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
A SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER EASTERN NEBRASKA...WILL TRIGGER AN AREA OF
TSRAS OVER NORTHERN IOWA INTO SOUTHWEST MN OVERNIGHT. CONVECTION
EXPECTED TO WANE DOWN SATURDAY MORNING...AS WARM AIR ADVANCE
NORTHWARD OVER INTO SOUTHERN MN. A SFC WARM FRONT...WILL BE THE MAIN
FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE PERIOD. THERE IS A
THREAT OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS MY MIDDAY SATURDAY INTO THE
EVENING HOURS.  MEANWHILE...CEILINGS WILL LOWER TO 500-1000 FEET AGL
OVERNIGHT. VISIBILITY WILL LOWER TO 4 TO 6 MILES IN FOG.  CONDS
IMPROVING SATURDAY MORNING AS CEILING IMPROVE TO 2000-3500 FEET AGL.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN MINNESOTA...AND WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN.

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT

A SURFACE LOW CONTINUES TO SPIN ACROSS CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA
TONIGHT...WITH AN ASSOCIATED WARM FRONT EXTENDING EAST ACROSS
SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA INTO FAR NORTHWEST IOWA. THE FRONT EXTENDS
SOUTHEAST ACROSS IOWA INTO WEST CENTRAL ILLINOIS. A VERY UNSTABLE
AIRMASS HAS DEVELOPED ALONG AND SOUTH OF THIS FRONT...THOUGH A
STRONG CAP HAS KEPT THUNDERSTORMS FROM DEVELOPING UNTIL ABOUT 9 PM
ACROSS WEST CENTRAL IOWA. WITH THE STRENGTHENING OF THE LLJ
EXPECTED OVERNIGHT...THIS WARM FRONT WILL SLOWLY NUDGE NORTH
TOWARD SOUTHERN MINNESOTA. AS THIS DOES SO...THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO EXPAND NORTH ALONG THE FRONT FROM CENTRAL IOWA INTO
SOUTH CENTRAL MINNESOTA AND POSSIBLY AS FAR NORTH AS US 12 IN
CENTRAL MINNESOTA. THIS ACTIVITY WILL MOVE EAST DURING THE
NIGHT...IMPACTING AREAS PRIMARILY ALONG AND SOUTH OF A
WILLMAR...TO TWIN CITIES METRO...TO CHIPPEWA FALLS LINE. GIVEN
MOIST AIR MASS IN PLACE...VERY HEAVY DOWNPOURS WILL BE POSSIBLE
WITH ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED
FLOODING IN URBAN AREAS AND OTHER POOR DRAINAGE LOCATIONS. TO GO
ALONG WITH THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT...LARGE HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE
WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS...WITH A SMALLER THREAT EXISTING FOR
STRONG DAMAGING WINDS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY

THE WEATHER PATTERN WILL REMAIN UNSTABLE THROUGH THE WEEKEND...AS
THE SURFACE BOUNDARY REMAINS IN THE AREA. AT THIS TIME...THERE IS
A CHANCE FOR SEVERE STORMS ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY WITH THE
GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES
SATURDAY.

AFTERNOON HEAT INDICES WILL REACH AROUND 100 DEGREES ACROSS SOUTH
CENTRAL MINNESOTA ON SATURDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SKYWARN SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED TONIGHT AND AGAIN
SATURDAY EVENING AND SUNDAY.
