AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
641 AM CDT SUN JUN 27 2010

.AVIATION... /12Z TAF ISSUANCE/

LOW PRESSURE IS MOVING ACROSS WEST CENTRAL WI ATTM WHILE A COLD
FRONT HAS JUST PASSED KAXN. CEILINGS CONTINUE TO DETERIORATE

THE 2-4SM RANGE. CONDITIONS NOT MUCH BETTER ALL THE WAY BACK TO
KAXN WHERE DENSE FOG WAS PREVALENT OVERNIGHT. TREND THIS MORNING
IS FOR IMPROVEMENT TO VFR BY 15Z FOR KAXN...KSTC AND KRWF AND BY
18Z FOR KMSP AND KRNH. IT MAY TAKE TO NEAR 20Z FOR KEAU TO BE VFR.

.DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 402 AM CDT SUN JUN 27 2010/

THE FORECAST CONCERNS ARE MINIMAL ESPECIALLY COMPARED TO THE PAST
TEN DAYS OF MULTIPLE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AND HEAVY RAIN EVENTS.
THE FOCUS THIS MORNING WAS ON TEMPERATURES THIS WEEK AND THE SMALL
CHANCE FOR A STRAY STORM TODAY AND THIS EVENING.

THE GOES WATER VAPOR LOOP THIS MORNING IS ACTIVE WITH MULTIPLE
SHORT WAVES ACROSS THE MIDWEST...OVERALL WITHIN A DEEP
SUBTROPICAL PLUME FROM THE FAR EASTERN PACIFIC EXTENDING ITS WAY
INTO THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. THIS IS FEEDING HEAVY-RAIN
PRODUCING THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS IOWA...WHICH IS ABSORBING MUCH OF
THE MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THE FORECAST AREA AT PRESENT. THIS HAS
ALLOWED AN END TO THE IMMEDIATE FLASH FLOOD THREAT SO HEADLINES
HAVE BEEN DROPPED. THE SUBTROPICAL PLUME WILL SHIFT SOUTHEAST
TODAY AS AN UPPER LOW NEAR LAKE WINNIPEG EVOLVES SOUTHEAST.

AT THE SURFACE...LINGERING HIGH DEW POINTS IN THE MID 60S WITH
LIGHT FLOW HAS ALLOWED MORNING DENSE FOG AND STRATUS TO FORM. AS
THE INITIAL COOL FRONT MOVES INTO WESTERN MN THIS MORNING...IT
SHOULD HELP TO QUICKLY DISSIPATE SOME OF THE FOG AND STRATUS BY
INCREASING THE WIND FLOW. THIS FEATURE WILL MOVE THROUGH THE AREA
DURING THE MORNING WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A SHOWER OR STORM ALONG
IT...BEING SUPPORTED FURTHER UNDER A BROAD RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION
TO AN UPPER JET STREAK. THE DEW POINTS HOWEVER WILL REMAIN HIGH
UNTIL A SECONDARY COOL FRONT DROPS SOUTHEAST THIS AFTERNOON. STEEP
LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES ALONG THE FRONT WILL FAVOR COMPRESSIONAL
WARMING INTO THE LOWER TO MID 80S...WITH MOST WESTERN MN
COMMUNITIES SEEING WARMER TEMPERATURES THAN EXPERIENCED ON
SATURDAY IN THE PRE-FROPA AIR MASS. CONVECTIVE TEMPERATURES ARE
FORECAST TO BE NEARED...AND WITH THE DEW POINTS AHEAD OF THE
BOUNDARY IN THE 60S...MLCAPE VALUES ARE FORECAST BY THE NAM AND
GFS TO BE BETWEEN 500 TO 1000 J/KG. WILL INTRODUCE A SLIGHT
CHANCE FOR A THUNDERSTORM IN THIS CORRIDOR THIS AFTERNOON. WHILE
NOT PARTICULARLY KEEN ON IT...ESPECIALLY WITH THE FORECAST WORDING
OF MOSTLY SUNNY AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A STORMS...THAT REALLY
APPEARS THE BEST REPRESENTATION OF THE SCENARIO TODAY.

WET PATTERN COMING TO AN END...WITH 16 DAYS THIS MONTH WITH
MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION AT MSP...A REPRIEVE IS IN SITE FOR THE
FINAL FEW DAYS. NUMERICAL MODELS ARE IN VERY SOUND AGREEMENT OF
AN UPPER TROUGH DEVELOPING IN THE EASTERN GREAT LAKES AS THE
AFOREMENTIONED UPPER LOW AND A RETROGRADING ONE FROM QUEBEC PHASE
ON MONDAY. THIS WILL OFFER NORTHWEST FLOW ALONG WITH HIGH PRESSURE
ACROSS MN AND WESTERN WI. THE 850MB TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO
DROP INTO THE 6C TO 12C RANGE FROM EAST TO WEST ACROSS THE AREA
DURING MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY. WITH A CLEARING SKY
BY MONDAY NIGHT AND LIKELY PERSISTING THROUGH MID-WEEK...COOLER
NIGHTTIME LOWS IN THE 50S...WITH POSSIBLY SOME 40S IN WESTERN WI
OR PARTS OF CENTRAL MN...ARE EXPECTED. RETURN FLOW LOOKS TO SET IN
BY LATER WEDNESDAY AND GRADUALLY INCREASE THROUGH THE END OF THE
WEEK. THE FORECAST CURRENTLY HAS DRY WEATHER FOR MONDAY THROUGH
THURSDAY WHICH WOULD BE THE FIRST FOUR DAY DRY STRETCH SINCE MAY
26TH-29TH IN THE TWIN CITIES.

INDEPENDENCE DAY WEEKEND...THE UPPER RIDGING IS FORECAST TO BREAK
DOWN SLOWLY OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST FROM FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND AS
A TROUGH SHIFTS EAST IN THE UPPER ROCKIES. THE 00Z GFS IS
SLIGHTLY SLOWER AND LESS FAVORABLE THAN THE 00Z EC FOR
THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST AREA. HOWEVER...THAT SEEMS DRIVEN BY
ITS DEPICTION OF NOW TROPICAL STORM ALEX...WHICH THE GFS DRIVES
DUE NORTH AND SLOWS THE CONUS PATTERN AFTER LANDFALL. THE EC
CURVES IT WEST AND IS MORE PROGRESSIVE. SO QUITE A BIT OF
UNCERTAINTY STILL FOR THAT TIME PERIOD.
