AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
623 PM CDT MON SEP 6 2010

.DISCUSSION...

ACTIVE SHORT TERM STILL EXPECTED AS VERY STRONG SYSTEM CURRENTLY
OVER ERN NEB WORKS ACROSS MN. STILL POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE WEATHER
TONIGHT...WHILE IT LOOKS QUITE BREEZY TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW. END OF
THE WEEK STILL LOOKS MUDDIED WITH SW FLOW SETTING UP WITH THE
SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM CHANCES RETURNING IN THE WEDNESDAY NIGHT
THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT TIME FRAME.

CURRENT ANALYSIS SHOWS WELL ADVERTISED STRONG...NEGATIVELY TILTED
H5 SHORT WAVE NOW WORKING INTO WRN SODAK/NEB. LEAD WAVE ACROSS ERN
SODAK/NEB HAS GENERATED SOME MAINLY ELEVATED STORMS FROM A 997 MB
SFC LOW NEAR THE OMAHA AREA NW TO EAST OF ABERDEEN SODAK. THERE
IS A DUAL WARM FRONT STRUCTURE WITH THIS SYSTEM. THE SRN WARM
FRONT IS ACROSS SRN IA...WITH THE NRN ONE DRAPED ACROSS THE I-90
CORRIDOR. THE SRN FRONT HAS MID 60 DEWPS TO ITS SOUTH...WHILE THE
NRN ONE HAS DEWPS AROUND 60 POOLED BY IT. THE ASPECT TO WATCH
THOUGH WITH THE NRN FRONT IS THE MORE BACKED WINDS TO ITS NORTH...
WHICH COULD SUPPLY SOME EXTRA SHEAR/HELICITY IF SFC BASED STORM
CAN EVER FIND THEMSELVES IN THE AREA. FINAL THING TO NOTE...THERE
IS A TONGUE OF LOW TO MID 60 DEWPS POOLING FROM THE LOW CENTER
NNW ALONG AN INVERTED THROUGH THAT GOES INTO ERN SODAK. THIS IS
THE AREA THAT WILL NEED TO BE WATCHED FOR POSSIBLE SFC BASED
DEVELOPMENT LATER THIS AFTERNOON.

FOR THE REST OF TODAY/TONIGHT...THE BIG QUESTIONS STILL TO BE
ANSWERED ARE IF...WHEN...AND WHERE IS THE STRONG CAPPING INVERSION
GOING TO BE BROKEN. CURRENT SPC MESOANLYSIS SHOWS TONGUE OF
LOW/MID 60 DEWPS FROM NEB/IA INTO ERN SODAK ASSOCIATED WITH
500-1500 J/KG OF STILL CAPPED MLCAPES. BIG PROBLEM FOR
DESTABILIZATION TODAY HAS BEEN EXTENSIVE MID/UPPER CLOUD COVER
OVER THE AREA THANKS TO PERSISTENT WAA. LATEST TRENDS FROM HRRR
RUNS NOT WANTING TO BREAK THE CAP ALONG THE FRONT UNTIL AFTER 00Z
ACROSS ERN IA/FAR SE MN. FOR MPX CWA...BIGGEST THREAT SEEMS TO BE
WITH MAINLY ELEVATED CONVECTION FROM OMAHA INTO ERN SODAK. THESE
STORMS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH COOLER TEMPERATURES COMING IN
ALOFT...LEADING TO STEEPENING LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES. MAIN THREAT
FROM THESE LIKELY A MARGINAL HAIL/WIND THREAT GIVEN THEIR ELEVATED
NATURE...THOUGH IF SOMETHING CAN GET ROOTED IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER...
THEN THE POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES STILL EXISTS. FOR THE REST OF
TONIGHT...HEAVIEST RAIN LOOKS TO FALL ACROSS NRN PORTION OF MN CWA
WITH ZONE OF STRONG FGEN FORCING AND DEFORMATION. A MORE
PERSISTENT RAIN THERE COULD RESULT IN RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF OVER AN
INCH. FOR THE SRN PORTION OF CWA...ARRIVAL OF DRY SLOT AND ISSUES
WITH THE CAP WILL LIKELY LEAD TO A MORE SCATTERED NATURE OF
CONVECTION...WITH LESSER AMOUNTS OF QPF RESULTING.

OTHER BIG ISSUE FOR TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW WILL BE THE STRONG
WINDS...AND HERE THERE IS MUCH MORE CONFIDENCE IN THAN WITH THE
SEVERE POTENTIAL THIS EVENING. ARE SEEING STRONG PRESSURE RISES
ACROSS CENTRAL NEB /6 MB IN 3 HRS/...WITH POST FRONT WINDS ACROSS
SODAK/NEB GUSTING INTO THE MID 30 KTS. THIS AREA OF STRONG
PRESSURE RISES IS STILL PROGGED DO GO ACROSS IA...BUT WITH DRY
SLOT AND STRONG SINKING MOTION COMING IN DIRECTLY BEHIND THE
FRONT...STILL LOOKS GOOD TO SEE SOME VERY STRONG WINDS WITH FROPA.
LATEST WIND GUST FORECASTS FROM THE HRRR SHOW 35 TO 40 KT GUSTS
IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE FRONT...WITH A FEW HIGHER GUSTS POSSIBLE
ACROSS SRN MN. WILL PROBABLY SEE WINDS LESSEN SOME FOR A FEW HOURS
AFTER FROPA...BUT A RENEWED AND LONGER LASTING SURGE IN WINDS
LOOKS GOOD FOR AFTER 06Z...WHEN MODELS BRING IN A SECOND AREA OF
10+ MB 3 HR PRESSURE RISES ACROSS CENTRAL MN. ISALLOBARIC FORCING
WITH THIS PRESSURE RISE WILL AID IN A RETURN TO ADVY STRENGTH
WINDS FOR LATE TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW AFTERNOON. AS FOR ADVY...ONLY
CHANGE MADE TO IT WAS TO ADD COUNTIES UP TO THE MS RIVER INTO THE
ADVY...AS BLEND OF ALL MODELS SHOWS CORE OF STRONGEST WINDS MOVING
THROUGH AREAS ALONG AND SW OF THE MS. MORE COUNTIES MAY NEED TO BE
ADDED INTO W CENTRAL WI...BUT CONFIDENCE IN THESE AREAS SEEING
SUSTAINED WINDS OF 25 KTS OR MORE /WIND ADVISORY/ LOWER THEN FOR
LOCATIONS FURTHER WEST...BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WILL NEED TO
BE WATCHED THROUGH THE NIGHT. AS FOR POTENTIAL OF A HIGH WIND
WARNING TONIGHT...GIVEN OBS IN NEB ONLY GUSTING INTO THE
30S...CONFIDENCE NOT VERY HIGH IN SEEING GUSTS TO 50 KTS OVER SRN
MN BEHIND THE FRONT...WHICH IS WHAT IS NEEDED FOR THE HIGH WIND
WARNING.

FOR BEYOND...TUESDAY STILL LOOKS COOL...WINDY...AND CLOUDY WITH
SOME WRAP AROUND SHOWERS FOR CENTRAL MN INTO WEST CENTRAL WI.
MODELS CONTINUE TO GO COLDER FOR HIGHS THIS DAY AND GIVEN EXPECTED
CLOUD COVER AND H85 TEMPS BETWEEN +2 TO +5C...COOLER HIGHS SEEMS
REASONABLE...WITH ALL BUT THE SW CWA STRUGGLING TO GET OUT OF THE 50S.

UPPER AND SFC RIDGING WILL MOVE ACROSS THE AREA WEDNESDAY...AND
ALL MODELS IN AGREEMENT WITH WAA/THETA-E ADVECTION RETURNING TO SW
MN WEDNESDAY NIGHT...SO HAVE CONTINUED TO REINTRODUCE POPS THEN.
AFTER THAT...DISCREPANCIES IN TIMING/PRECIP PLACEMENT BETWEEN THE
GFS/GEM/ECMWF THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT LEADS TO LOWER
CONFIDENCE IN THE FORECAST THEN. HAVE CONTINUED CHANCE POPS
THROUGH THIS PERIOD AS SW FLOW WARRANTS MENTION OF EXTENDED POPS.
LIKELY WILL NOT BE RAINING THE WHOLE TIME...BUT WILL SEE PERIODS
OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS. ANY SEVERE THREAT WOULD COME WITH
PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT FRIDAY EVENING/NIGHT...BUT MIXED SIGNALS
ON LOW PLACEMENT/FRONT STRENGTH LEADS TO A LOW CONFIDENCE IN
SEEING MUCH SEVERE WEATHER WITH THIS AT THIS TIME.

HAVE KEPT THE REST OF THE FORECAST DRY AS RIDGING MOVES BACK IN
OVER THE WEEKEND...AND GFS/ECMWF BOTH BRING BACK SOME FORM OF ZONAL
FLOW TO END THE PERIOD...WITH LARGE DISCREPANCIES ON TIMING OF ANY
WAVES...SO OPTED OUT OF ANY PRECIP MENTION UNTIL MORE AGREEMENT
CAN BE ATTAINED.

.AVIATION.../00Z TAF ISSUANCE/

SEVERAL AVIATION CONCERNS DURING THE NEXT FEW HRS...ALONG WITH
LIFR CEILINGS/VSBYS AND WND GUSTS.

CURRENTLY A STRONG COLD FRONT WAS MOVING INTO RWF AREA...WITH WNDS
SHIFTING TO THE W/NW...WITH GUSTS UP TO 36 KTS IN SD LATE THIS
AFTN. MVFR/IFR CEILINGS CONTINUE TO TREND DOWNWARD ACROSS SD...AND
INTO SW MN LATE THIS AFTN...AND WITH LCLS LOWERING THIS
EVENING...EXPECT THE MVFR/IFR CEILINGS TO DEVELOP...ESPECIALLY FOR
AXN/STC. ALTHOUGH THERE REMAINS EMBEDDED TSRA CROSS THE FA.... THE
STRONGEST STORMS SHOULD REMAIN SOUTH OF THE TAF AREA...OR MAYBE A
SLIGHT CHC OF AFFECTING EAU BEFORE 3Z. REGIONAL RADAR HAS ALREADY
INDICATED A TREND OF SHRA ACROSS EASTERN SD WHICH SHOULD MOVE INTO
SW/WC MN THIS EVENING AS THE UPPER LOW AND SFC LOW CONTINUES TO
DEEPEN ACROSS MN THIS EVENING. THE LATEST RUC CONTINUES TO SHOW
WNDS INCREASING THROUGHOUT THE EVENING...WITH THE STRONGEST FLOW
JUST ABV THE SFC BETWEEN 09-15Z. IF ANY OF THE WNDS CAN BE TAPPED
AT 1K TO 3K...THIS WILL TRANSLATE TO THE SFC WITH A FEW GUSTS OF
40 TO 45 KTS FOR RWF/MSP/RNH. AXN/STC SHOULD BE CLOSER TO THE SFC
LOW TO NOT FEEL THE FULL FORCE OF THE STRONGER WNDS.

MVFR/IFR OR EVEN LIFR CEILINGS SEEMS LIKELY FOR
AXN/STC/MSP/RHN/EAU THRU 18Z/07 ONCE THE MAIN TSRA ACTIVITY MOVES
FURTHER EAST...AND THE STATE OF MN GETS MORE INVOLVED WITH THE
UPPER LEVEL LOW AND DEFORMATION FIELD.

MSP...BEST CHC OF TSRA WILL BE THRU 2Z...WITH MOSTLY SHRA AND
LOWER CEILINGS AFFECTING THE TAF SITE THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HRS.
BEST CHC OF IFR CEILINGS WILL BE ARND 12Z. WNDS SHOULD BECOME MORE
SW BY 3Z...THEN BEGIN TO GUST BY 6Z. SOME GUSTS OVER 34 KTS ARE
POSSIBLE BETWEEN 09-15Z...BUT CONFIDENCE REMAINS TOO LOW FOR THIS
TYPE OF SCENARIO. EXPECT A SLOW LIFT IN THE MVFR CEILINGS BY
18Z...THEN SCATTERING OUT BY 21-00Z TOMORROW AFTN. WND SPDS SHOULD
DECREASE TO LESS THAN 10 KTS BY 02/08. ..JLT..
