.DISCUSSION...ISSUED 317 PM CDT
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.

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

.DAY ONE...OVERNIGHT

HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE ACROSS SOUTHERN MINNESOTA. SOME
FLOODING HAS BEEN REPORTED AND MORE WIDESPREAD FLOODING IS LIKELY
ACROSS SOUTHERN MINNESOTA. AREA STREAMS AND RIVERS WILL RISE
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
OVERNIGHT...PRIMARILY IN SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA.
THE PRIMARY THREATS WITH THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE HEAVY RAIN...LARGE
HAIL...AND LOCALIZED DAMAGING WINDS. THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE MOST
PREVALENT ALONG THE INTERSTATE 90 CORRIDOR.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

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. FURTHER AGGRAVATION TO ONGOING FLOODING IN
SOUTHERN MINNESOTA IS EXPECTED. 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 NOT EXPECTED THIS MORNING BUT MAY BE
NEEDED THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. REPORTS OF FLOODING AND
RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE APPRECIATED.
