What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Twin Cities, MN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Sep 22, 6:17 PM CDT, 6 hours 13 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 22, 6:17 PM CDT, 6 hours 13 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
617 PM CDT WED SEP 22 2010

.DISCUSSION...
FORECAST THINKING HASN/T CHANGED MUCH FROM PREVIOUS SHIFTS... WITH
A LARGE SCALE HEAVY RAIN EVENT STILL LOOKING TO UNFOLD IN A FEW
WAVES ACROSS THE AREA OVER THE NEXT 24 TO 36 HOURS. MADE SOME
CHANGES TO FLOOD WATCH AREAS AND TIMING THIS AFTERNOON... MAINLY
TO ACCOUNT FOR EARLIER ARRIVAL OF PCPN CURRENTLY ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN PORTION OF THE AREA. THE HEAVY RAIN IS THE MAIN
CONCERN... ALTHOUGH IT STILL APPEARS THERE WILL BE AT LEAST SOME
CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS AS GOOD
ELEVATED INSTABILITY AND EFFECTIVE SHEAR HELP TO SUPPORT SOME
EMBEDDED STRONG STORMS. NUMEROUS LARGE HAIL REPORTS SOUTHWEST OF
THE AREA THIS MORNING AND SO FAR THIS AFTERNOON ARE INDICATIVE OF
THE STRONG UPDRAFTS BEING SUPPORTED BY THE AFOREMENTIONED
INSTABILITY AND SHEAR. THE WARM SECTOR IS TRYING TO PUSH NORTH...
BUT THE TRAINING OF STORMS NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY THROUGH THE
SOUTHERN PORTION OF OUR AREA IS WORKING TO KEEP IT PINNED SOUTH
FOR THE CURRENT TIME... WHICH WILL HELP LIMIT CHANCES FOR WINDS TO
SOME EXTENT AND PARTICULARLY FOR TORNADO POTENTIAL. HOWEVER...
GIVEN THE STRONG LARGE SCALE SOUTHERLY SURGE... THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY WILL KEEP WORKING TO LIFT NORTH. GOOD MOISTURE TRANSPORT
AND THETA-E ADVECTION WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT SHOWERS AND
EMBEDDED THUNDER ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE AREA INTO THIS
EVENING... WITH FLOODING A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY IF SUFFICIENT
TRAINING OF ECHOES OCCURS. FARTHER NORTH WE SHOULD SEE PCPN
CONTINUE TO TRY AND EXPAND... ALTHOUGH SOME SUBSIDENCE ON THE
NORTH SIDE OF THE MORE ROBUST CONVECTION OVER OUR SOUTHERN CWFA
WILL WORK TO LIMIT THAT NORTHWARD PROGRESSION TO SOME DEGREE.
HOWEVER... STILL APPEARS THERE IS SUFFICIENT MOISTURE AND
ISENTROPIC ASCENT... PER THE 305K SURFACE... TO KEEP SOME PCPN
GOING ACROSS A GOOD PART OF THE AREA THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS...
EVEN IF THE HEAVIEST PCPN LOOKS LIKE IT MAY IMPACT THE SOUTHERN
PART OF THE AREA BETWEEN NOW AND MID EVENING.

THE MAIN LARGE SCALE WAVE... CURRENTLY OVER THE SOUTHWEST... WILL
LIFT NORTHEAST TOWARD THE AREA TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY... HELPING
TO DEVELOP A VIGOROUS SURFACE LOW IN THE LEE OF THE ROCKIES AND
BRING IT NORTHEAST ACROSS THE STATE THURSDAY. THE MODELS HAVE BEEN
VERY CONSISTENT THE PAST SEVERAL RUNS WITH RESPECT TO THE TRACK OF
THIS SYSTEM... AND ARE EVEN IN DECENT AGREEMENT ON THE HEAVY PCPN
AXIS. THE PLACEMENT OF PCPN TONIGHT INTO EARLY THURSDAY WILL BE A
BIT MORE FICKLE GIVEN THE SUBSTANTIAL CONVECTIVE COMPONENT... BUT
ON THURSDAY THE PCPN WILL BE PRIMARILY FORCED ON THE LARGE SCALE
AND WILL FOCUS ALONG A WSW-ENE ORIENTED AXIS OF STRONG
FRONTOGENESIS FROM CENTRAL MINNESOTA INTO NORTHERN WISCONSIN.
PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AOA 2 INCHES RUNNING 200-300 PERCENT OF
NORMAL WILL BE ADVECTED NORTHEAST INTO THE AREA AND WILL RESIDE
ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE AREA OF FRONTOGENESIS... LEADING TO THE
POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT PCPN TOTALS. OBVIOUSLY... THE PLACEMENT
OF HEAVY RAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT COULD HAVE A LARGE IMPACT
ON WHERE THE FLOOD POTENTIAL IS GREATEST ON THURSDAY... AND RIGHT
NOW IT LOOKS LIKE THE MAX AREAS MAY NOT OVERLAP TOO MUCH... WITH
THE BETTER ACTIVITY TONIGHT FARTHER SOUTH THAN THE ACTIVITY ON
THURSDAY. HOWEVER... THERE WILL STILL BE SOME OVERLAP OF THE RAIN
AREAS... AND BOTH BOUTS OF RAIN WILL BE SIGNIFICANT IN THEIR OWN
RIGHT... SO FLOOD POTENTIAL REMAINS HIGH. THE LARGE FOOTPRINT OF
HEAVY RAIN ALSO BRINGS THE POTENTIAL FOR LARGE STEM RIVER FLOODING
OVER THE COMING DAYS AND WEEKS.

SUBSIDENCE IN THE WAKE OF THURSDAY/S SYSTEM WILL START TO WORK IN
ON FRIDAY... ALTHOUGH SOME LINGERING PCPN ON ITS BACKSIDE WILL
IMPACT A PORTION OF THE AREA THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. A SHORTWAVE
LOOKS TO ARRIVE QUICKLY ON NORTHWEST FLOW AND MOVE THROUGH THE
AREA FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY... BRINGING A CHANCE FOR SOME
LIGHT PCPN TO THE AREA. THINGS THEN LOOK TO SETTLE DOWN FROM
SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY WITH LARGE SCALE RIDGING TAKING HOLD
ACROSS THE AREA. THE ECMWF AND GFS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT
DURING THE LATER PERIODS... AND THE HPC GUIDANCE GENERALLY FOLLOWS
A CONSENSUS OF THEIR FORECASTS... SO DID NOT STRAY TOO FAR FROM A
SOLUTION ALONG THOSE LINES.

&&

.AVIATION.../00Z TAF ISSUANCE/

VERY COMPLICATED AVIATION FORECAST AS A SERIES OF TSRA/SHRA MOVE
ACROSS SOUTHERN MN DURING THE NEXT 6 HRS AND HOW THIS WILL
TRANSLATE INTO IFR/MVFR CEILINGS NORTH OF THE CONVECTION...AND
MVFR/VFR CEILINGS WITH THE CURRENT SHRA/TSRA. ALTHOUGH THE VSBY
WILL BE IFR IN TSRA...MOST OF THE ACTIVITY SHOULD REMAIN BETWEEN
3-5SM IN SHRA/TSRA. ONLY A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME SHOULD THE
VSBY LOWER TO 1SM OR LESS. HOWEVER...IF TRAINING OF THE TSRA
DEVELOPS...THERE COULD BE AN AREA THAT DOES HAVE THE VERY LOW
VSBYS...BUT THIS IS TOO COMPLICATED TO PINPOINT TOO FAR FROM THE
CURRENT OBSERVATIONS. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS WHETHER OR NOT THE
C0MPLEX OF TSRA/SHRA MOVES NORTHWARD INTO CENTRAL MN OVERNIGHT AS
THE CURRENT MODELS INDICATE. THIS WOULD LEAVE A PERIOD OF NIL WX
ACROSS S MN. AS PER CURRENT REGIONAL RADAR IS DEPICTING ACROSS
EASTERN SD...AND THE CONTINUED RE-GENERATION OF TSRA/SHRA...WILL
LIKELY CONTINUE THE WORSE CONDITIONS IN VSBYS/CEILINGS FOR
RWF/MSP/EAU/RNH FOR THE NEXT 3-6 HRS...WITH AXN/STC EXPECTED TO
SEE THE WORSE CONDITIONS TOWARD 6Z. THIS WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE
UPDATED AS RADAR TRENDS INDICATE IN THE NEXT FEW HRS. WNDS WILL
ALSO BE PROBLEMATIC AS TSRA WILL LIKELY CAUSE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES
AND VARIABLE GUSTS OF 30 TO 40 KTS AS IT HAS IN THE PAST FEW HRS.
THEREFORE...WILL CONTINUE THE E/SE FLOW FOR RWF/MSP/RNH/EAU...WITH
MORE OF A E/NE FLOW AT STC/AXN. AFT 6Z...WNDS SHOULD BE MORE S/SE
AT RWF/MSP/EAU.

MSP...SEVERAL WAVES OF SHRA/TSRA WILL OCCUR DURING THE NEXT 3 TO 6
HRS...WITH VSBYS AS LOW AS 1/2SM AND CEILINGS AS LOW AS 500 FT.
HOWEVER...MOST OF THE PREVAILING CEILINGS/VSBYS SHOULD REMAIN IN
THE MVFR RANGE FOR MOST OF THE EVENING. AFT 6Z...IFR/LIFR MAY
DEVELOP AS THE COMPLEX OF SHRA/TSRA SHIFTS TO THE NORTH.

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

.DAY ONE...REST OF THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR LATE THIS
AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT FOR LOCATIONS ALONG AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE
94. THE PRIMARY THREATS WITH THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE LARGE HAIL AND
HEAVY RAINFALL. HOWEVER... LOCALIZED DAMAGING WINDS ARE POSSIBLE
THROUGH THIS EVENING. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOST PREVALENT ALONG
AND SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 90 THROUGH EARLY EVENING... WITH ACTIVITY
BECOMING MORE WIDESPREAD OVER THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA AS THE
NIGHT PROGRESSES.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE OUTLOOK AREA INTO THURSDAY
AS A STRONG AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MOVES INTO CENTRAL MINNESOTA.
THIS LOW WILL SEND A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE AREA THURSDAY
AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. THIS WILL CONTINUE THE HEAVY RAIN AND FLOOD
THREAT FOR THE AREA. IN ADDITION... A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
WILL BE POSSIBLE AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND
NIGHT ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND EAST CENTRAL MINNESOTA INTO WEST
CENTRAL WISCONSIN... WITH THE GREATEST LIKELIHOOD FOR SEVERE WEATHER
ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MINNESOTA. THE PRIMARY THREAT FROM ANY
ACTIVITY ON THURSDAY WILL BE DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS.

HEAVY RAINFALL EXPECTED FROM TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT WILL
LEAD TO RISES ON MANY LOCAL STREAMS AND RIVERS. THIS MAY RESULT IN
SEVERAL RIVERS REACHING OR EXCEEDING FLOOD STAGE... ESPECIALLY
ACROSS CENTRAL MINNESOTA INTO WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN... FROM LATER
THIS WEEK INTO NEXT WEEK.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SKYWARN SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS IN PROGRESS FOR PORTIONS OF THE
AREA... WITH ADDITIONAL ACTIVATION POSSIBLE TONIGHT.
