Area forecast discussion, Sep 27, 6:24 AM CDT, 4 hours 5 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN 624 AM CDT MON SEP 27 2010 .UPDATE...FOR 12Z AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW && .DISCUSSION.../ISSUED 303 AM CDT MON SEP 27 2010/ LIKELY WELCOME BY MANY IN SOUTHERN MN AND WESTERN WI...A QUIET AND DRY WEEK IS FORECAST FOR ALMOST ALL OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE CHALLENGES WILL BE TEMPERATURES WITH THE DRY AIR MASS FLUXING AHEAD AND BEHIND OF TWO QUICK MOVING PACIFIC SYSTEMS CENTERED TO OUR NORTH. EARLY THIS MORNING A FEW ISOLATED MID 30S WERE OBSERVED IN WESTERN WI...WITH THE COLDEST VALUES OF FREEZING JUST TO THE EAST IN NORTH CENTRAL WI. RETURN FLOW HAS MOVED IN AHEAD OF A QUICK- MOVING PACIFIC ORIGIN SYSTEM THAT IS MOVING EAST SOUTHEAST FROM THE LAKE WINNIPEG AREA EARLY THIS MORNING. THE WARM SECTOR OF THIS SYSTEM OFFERS 850MB TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER TEENS TO LOWER 20S TO CROSS THE AREA TODAY. THIS OFFERED UPSTREAM TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S YESTERDAY. WITH MID-LEVEL CLOUDS HAVING CAUGHT UP THOUGH TO THE SYSTEM...AND A COOL EARLY MORNING STARTING POINT...HIGHS MORE IN THE MID 60S TO LOWER 70S ARE LIKELY HERE TODAY. THE PARENT SHORT WAVE IS EXPECTED TO SLIGHTLY DEEPEN AS IT CROSSES NORTHEAST MN INTO WESTERN AND NORTHERN WI LATE THIS AFTERNOON. THE LACK OF DEEP MOISTURE SHOULD KEEP ONLY SCATTERED CLOUDS FROM BEING GENERATED IN THE FORECAST AREA. WINDS WILL SWING WITH THE FRONT AND NIGHTTIME LOW-LEVEL COLD AIR ADVECTION AND CYCLONIC FLOW SHOULD OFFER SOME STRATOCU TO DEVELOP AND LINGER INTO TUESDAY MORNING. THIS SHOULD ESPECIALLY BE TRUE OVER WESTERN WI...WHERE OVERCAST CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE. A SOMEWHAT WEAK HIGH PRESSURE IS FORECAST TO PUSH QUICKLY THROUGH DURING TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT BEFORE A VERY SIMILAR PACIFIC SYSTEM COMES QUICKLY EAST. TUESDAY TEMPERATURES WILL BE COOLER...POTENTIALLY BY TEN DEGREES OR MORE IN THOSE EASTERN AREAS THAT DO REALIZE OVERCAST CLOUDS IN THE MORNING. RETURN FLOW SHOULD AGAIN ARRIVE IN TIME TUESDAY NIGHT TO MITIGATE A WIDESPREAD FROST POTENTIAL...DUE TO TEMPERATURES STEADYING OR EVEN RISING LATE. THE WEDNESDAY SHORT WAVE IS OF SIMILAR VORTICITY MAGNITUDE AND TRACK...EXCEPT IS FORECAST TO HAVE MORE MOISTURE TO WORK WITH. BUT THE PARENT LOW WILL BE WELL TO THE NORTH AND KNOWING THE LIMITED COVERAGE OF SHOWERS WITH SUCH SYSTEMS...HAVE ONLY ADDED A SMALL CHANCE OF ONE NEAR THE HIGHWAY 8 CORRIDOR OF WESTERN WI. MAY BE SOME COLD AIR ADVECTION TYPE CLOUDS AGAIN ON THE BACKSIDE WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY MORNING. FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY THE AREA IS FORECAST TO BE ON THE ANTICYCLONIC SIDE OF THE DIGGING JET...SO LITTLE IN THE WAY OF WEATHER IS EXPECTED. AN EASTERN NORTH AMERICA LONG WAVE TROUGH IS CONSISTENTLY FORECAST BY NEXT WEEKEND WITH A 1028MB OR STRONGER SURFACE HIGH OVER THE FORECAST AREA. LOOKING AT THE DISTRIBUTION OF ALL AVAILABLE GRIDDED FORECAST MODELS...THERE ARE A FEW OFFERING THE CHANCE FOR A WIDESPREAD FROST FRIDAY NIGHT/SATURDAY MORNING. CURRENT FORECAST IS NEAR THE MEDIAN OF THE DISTRIBUTION GIVEN SOME CONCERNS FOR CLOUDS. WITH COOLER AIR ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE TROUGH FORECAST TO INCH IN OVER THE WEEKEND...WOULD SEEM LIKE SATURDAY OR SUNDAY NIGHTS MAY HAVE A BETTER POTENTIAL...WITH POSSIBLY FREEZE CONDITIONS IN WESTERN WI...IF CLOUDS CAN HOLD AT BAY. THE CONFIDENCE RIGHT NOW IS LOW THOUGH AS CLOUDS WILL BE A MAJOR FACTOR...BUT CLIMATOLOGY WOULD SAY WE ARE VERY NEAR THAT TIME. HYDROLOGY...WITH NO QPF FORECAST THIS WEEK...CURRENT RUNOFF WILL REMAIN THE PRIMARY ISSUE FOR ONGOING AND FORECAST RIVER FLOODING. SEE THE LATEST HYDROLOGY PRODUCTS FOR THE DETAILS. && .AVIATION.../12Z TAF ISSUANCE/ HIGH CLOUDS WILL INCREASE THROUGHOUT THE DAY AS A WEAK FRONT APPROACHES. THE FRONT WILL PASS FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS THE TERMINAL AREA BETWEEN 17Z AND 01Z TUESDAY. SOUTH/SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL SHIFT TO NORTHWEST WITH THE FROPA...WHICH WILL ALSO BRING CU/STRATOCU CLOUDS THIS AFTERNOON/EVE TO CENTRAL MN AND WEST CENTRAL WI. WINDS WILL PREDOMINATELY BE IN THE 10KT TO 12KT RANGE...ALTHOUGH GUSTS UP TO 25 KTS ARE POSSIBLE AT KAXN IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT. A NORTHERLY LLVL TRAJECTORY WILL LIKELY BRING SOME STRATUS AND MVFR CIGS TO EASTERN SITES /KRNH AND KEAU...POSSIBLY AS FAR WEST AS KMSP/ LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. MEANWHILE...WESTERN SITES WILL SEE CLEARING AND DECREASING WINDS LATE TONIGHT...WHICH COULD LEAD TO SOME LIGHT FOG BY DAYBREAK TUESDAY. KMSP...HIGH CLOUDS WILL INCREASE THIS MORNING...AND THEN A SCT-BKN LAYER AROUND 4K FEET WILL ARRIVE BY 21Z AS THE FRONT NEARS. THERE IS A LOW PROBABILITY THAT SCT MVFR LEVEL CLOUDS MAY MOVE INTO KMSP OVERNIGHT. SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL GENERALLY BE AROUND OR UNDER 10 KTS THIS MORNING...SHIFT TO SOUTHWEST BY THIS AFTERNOON...AND THEN BECOME NORTHWEST AROUND 00Z AS THE FRONT PASSES. && .MPX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
