653 PM CDT FRI JUL 1 2011
00Z AVIATION UPDATE BELOW...
&&
.DISCUSSION...
PRE-FRONTAL HEATING RAMPING UP AFTERNOON TEMPERATURES INTO THE MID
90S ACROSS MUCH OF THE EASTERN TWO THIRDS OF THE CWA. SPC SEVERE WEATHER
WATCH IN EFFECT UNTIL 02Z ACROSS MUCH OF FA. EXPECT WIDESPREAD SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTN THROUGH THE EVENING ASSOCIATED
WITH A COOL FRONT ENTERING FAR WESTERN MN. COOL FRONT ANTICIPATED
TO TREK TO NEAR A LINE FROM NORTHEAST WI TO SE IA BY SAT/12Z.
CAP ANTICIPATED TO BREAK DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY LATE THIS AFTN ACROSS
THE WESTERN THIRD OF MN...WITH CONTINUE BREAKDOWN EXPECTED FOR
REMAINDER OF AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY BY 02/06Z. HRRR NOT BAD WITH
CURRENT PLACEMENT OF T-STORMS ENTERING WEST CENTRAL MN. IT DEPICTS
AREA OF CONVECTION FROM NEAR HINCKLEY INTO SOUTH CENTRAL MN BY 01Z.
GFS40 STILL HANDLING SYSTEM TIMING AND INTENSITY WELL...WITH BEST
THETA E ADVECTION DEVELOPING FROM SOUTH CENTRAL MN...TO TWIN CITIES
TO JUST SW OF DULUTH BY 00Z. SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE TRANSPORT VECTORS
COMBINED WITH MPX PCPN WATER OF 1.65 THIS MORNING AND AFTN DEW POINTS
IN THE LOW TO MID 70S POINTS TO PRODIGIOUS WATER PRODUCING
THUNDERSTORMS OVER THIS SAME REGION PRIOR TO 03Z. ONE TO TWO INCH
RAINFALL AMOUNTS LOOKS LIKELY WITH SOME OF THE STRONGEST
THUNDERSTORMS. PLENTLY OF AVAILABLE JOULES...MODERATE LI'S AND MID
LEVEL CAPE SUPPORTING A MAINLY HAIL AND STRONG WIND EVENT. AN ISOLATED
TORNADO NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION NEAR THE WEAK SFC CYCLONE AS IT PROCEEDS
NORTHEAST OUT OF SW MN THIS EVENING.
MOST OF THE CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY WILL END ACROSS THE FA SHORTLY AFTER
02/06Z. LOOKS LIKE A STELLAR WEEKEND SHAPING UP ACROSS THE
REGION...WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE AND NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES.
BIG SFC DOME OF HIGH PRESSURE PARKS ITSELF OVER MN AND WI SATURDAY
NIGHT. PLENTY OF RADIATIONAL COOLING AND RESIDUAL MOISTURE FROM TONIGHT
STORMS SHOULD SET UP AREA OF FOG BY LATE SATURDAY NIGHT MUCH OF
FA.
NEXT CHANCE FOR CONVECTION WILL BE SEEN MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY
TUESDAY NIGHT ASSOCIATED WITH ANOTHER WEAK...SLOW MOVING FRONTAL
BOUNDARY. UPPED POPS SLIGHTLY DUE TO CONTINUED AGREEMENT LAST FEW
RUNS BETWEEN NAM AND GFS40. FINAL MENTION OF NOTE INVOLVES ADDITIONAL
CLOUD COVER ANTICIPATED ACROSS UPPER MIDWEST AS 50H RIDGE BREAKS DOWN
MONDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. THIS CONFIGURATION WILL ALLOW PROGRESSION OF
FASTER MOVING SYSTEMS ACROSS NORTHERN U.S. FROM MID PACIFIC INTO
AT LEAST NEXT WEEKEND.
&&
.AVIATION.../00Z TAF ISSUANCE/
FOCUS AT THE MOMENT IS THE SEVERE WEATHER OCCURRING IN AND AROUND
THE KRWF AND KSTC TAF SITES AND EVOLUTION OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY
NEAR KMSP AND KRNH IN THE NEAR TERM. FRONT CONTINUES TO MOVE SLOWLY
THROUGH MN WITH SEVERAL THUNDERSTORM AREAS ALONG THE FRONT MAINLY
IN CENTRAL MN. THE COMPLEX THAT JUST MOVED THROUGH KSTC PRODUCED
WINDS THAT GUSTED TO 47 KNOTS AND REDUCED VISIBILITIES TO 1/2SM.
SIMILAR CONDITIONS WERE OBSERVED AT KRWF WITH HIGHER WINDS. AS
THE FRONT MOVES TOWARD THE EAST WE CAN EXPECT THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY TO IMPACT KMSP BY 0030Z AND KRNH BY 0100Z. DO NOT EXPECT
TO SEE WINDS IN THE 50 KT RANGE AT EITHER SITE BUT 35 KTS CAN BE
EXPECTED. VISIBILITIES MAY BE REDUCED TO 3SM FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF
TIME OR LOWER IF THE CORE OF THE THUNDERSTORM PASSES RIGHT OVER
THE TAF LOCATION. DO NOT EXPECT THAT. CONVECTION SHOULD CAUSE THE
FRONT TO PICK UP SPEED AND MOVE THROUGH THE AREA BY 06Z AND THEN ALL
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL BE FINISHED. A FEW MODELS HOLD ON TO
PRECIPITATION TIL 09Z BUT BELIEVE THAT IS OVER DONE.
AFTER 06Z EXPECT VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE 4TH OF JULY.
KMSP...BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM OR ACTIVITY WILL BE
BEFORE 02Z. EXPECT GUSTS WITH THUNDERSTORMS TO APPROACH 35 KTS.
SLIGHT CHANCE WE COULD SEE A GUST TO 50 KNOTS. VISIBILITIES
DROPPING TO 3SM WITH THE THUNDERSTORM. GENERAL THUNDERSTORMS IN
THE VICINITY FROM 02Z TO 0330Z. A FEW OF THE MODEL HAVE
PRECIPITATION THROUGH 09Z BUT THAT DOES NOT SEEM REASONABLE AT
THIS POINT IN TIME.
OUTLOOK...VFR THROUGH THE 4TH.
