CLEARING TREND IS THE MAIN SHORT TERM CONCERN ACROSS THE CENTRAL
PORTION OF THE STATE. MORE CU-FORM CLOUDS SHOULD GRADUALLY ERODE
DURING THE EVENING AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE RIDGE DROPS SOUTHEAST
OVER THE REGION. THE COLD FRONT OVER IOWA AND WISCONSIN SHOULD
STALL ALONG THE MISSOURI/IOWA BORDER LATE TONIGHT. MODELS INDICATE
THAT THIS FRONT WILL LIFT NORTH DURING THE DAY WEDNESDAY...
SPREADING CLOUDS AND ACROSS THE WESTERN AREA WEDNESDAY MORNING...AND
EVENTUALLY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL MN
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. MID LEVEL INSTABILITY INCREASES SOMEWHAT OVER
THE SOUTHWEST BY LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...BUT WILL HAVE TO WAIT
UNTIL WEDNESDAY NIGHT BEFORE ANY REAL SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FROM
HAIL AND WIND LIFTS NORTH WITH THE SFC WARM FRONT. LARGE HAIL
SHOULD BE THE MAIN SEVERE THREAT WITH THIS ACTIVITY AS IS MOVE
INTO SOUTHERN MN WELL...THOUGH DAMAGING WINDS COULD ACCOMPANY THE
STRONGEST STORMS. THE MAIN CONCERN WILL REMAIN THE HEAVY RAIN
POTENTIAL DEVELOPING AFTER 06Z THU...AND CONTINUING THROUGH ABOUT

ACROSS CENTRAL CWA. STANDARDIZED ANOMALIES FROM THE GFS INDICATE
5-6 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL ASSOCIATED WITH THE SYSTEMS
MOISTURE TRANSPORT. SIMILAR WITH THE NAM AND EVEN THE SREF. PRECIPITABLE
WATER INCREASES TO NEAR 2.25 INCHES AS THE LOW LIFTS NORTHEAST...ABOUT
MIDDAY THU. THIS IS ABOUT 3 STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL. VERY
UNUSUAL TRENDS INDICATED FROM MOST MODELS. IT DOES APPEAR A BAND
OF HEAVY RAINFALL SHOULD DEVELOP ALONG AND NORTH OF THE MINNESOTA
RIVER VALLEY...NORTHEAST TOWARD THE TWIN CITIES AND INTO WC
WISCONSIN...ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 94.  LATER SHIFTS MAY VERY
WELL INITIATE FLOOD/FLASH FLOOD WATCH AS THIS EVENT UNFOLDS.

LAST LONG...AS MODELS COMING INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE NEXT
