AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
408 AM CDT TUE SEP 13 2011

.DISCUSSION...

WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF QUITE A 60 HOUR CHANGE IN WEATHER...WHICH
FOR MID-SEPTEMBER IS SOMEWHAT EARLY. AFTER 90 DEGREES IN
MINNEAPOLIS YESTERDAY...A LARGE PART OF THE FORECAST AREA IS
LIKELY TO DROP BELOW FREEZING TOMORROW NIGHT INCLUDING POTENTIALLY
OUTLYING AREAS OF THE METRO.

SYNOPSIS...A VERY AMPLIFIED UPPER LEVEL PATTERN IS SEEN ON WATER
VAPOR SATELLITE ACROSS ALASKA INTO CANADA...WITH A DEEP TROUGH
OVER HUDSON BAY TAKING SHAPE AND LOBES ROTATING AROUND IT. THIS IS
A SETUP FOR BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES FOR THE AREA. BRIEF SURFACE
RIDGING WILL MOVE OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE MORNING BEHIND THE
STRONG COLD FRONT THAT WENT THROUGH LAST EVENING. A SECOND COLD
FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH A SHORT WAVE ROTATING AROUND THE HUDSON BAY
TROUGH WILL SWING SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA THIS EVENING. THIS
FEATURE WILL USHER IN AN EXPANSIVE CANADIAN HIGH FOR WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY NIGHT CREATING FROST AND FREEZE CONCERNS.
OVERALL A DRY PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WORKWEEK WITH SOME
WARMER AND POSSIBLY UNSETTLED WEATHER DURING THE EARLY PART OF
NEXT WEEK.

TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...WHILE THERE WILL BE A WEAK THERMAL RIDGE
AHEAD OF THE INCOMING COLD FRONT...THE HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE
EXPECTED TO BE 15 TO 20 DEGREES COLDER THAN YESTERDAY. HAVE
BLENDED THE GOING HIGHS TOWARDS THE BEST PERFORMING MODELS DURING
THE FIRST COOLER AIR SURGE THE LATTER HALF OF LABOR DAY WEEKEND.
THE FRONTAL PASSAGE IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT ON GUIDANCE TO BE BETWEEN
6 PM AND MIDNIGHT FROM NORTH TO SOUTH...PASSING THROUGH THE METRO
AROUND 10 PM. THE FRONTAL PASSAGE SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CAUSE A SHARP
TEMPERATURE AND DEW POINT DROP AS WELL AS A 2-3 HOUR GUSTY WIND
PERIOD. TEMPORARY WIND GUSTS ON GFS BUFKIT PROFILES FAVOR 25 KTS
AND NAM FAVOR 30 KTS. HAVE GONE WITH A BLEND AT THIS TIME IN THE
FORECAST WINDS. HAVE ALSO TRIED TO ADAPT THE TEMPORAL RESOLUTION
OF THE FRONTAL PASSAGE INTO THE HOURLY TEMPERATURE AND DEW POINT
GRIDS. WHILE THERE COULD BE SOME SHOWERS AND ISOLATED STORMS TO
THE NORTHEAST OF THE FORECAST AREA...ONLY SOME CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED
ATOP OUR IMMEDIATE REGION. THESE SHOULD BE ALONG AND BEHIND THE
FRONT. THERE IS A WEAK SHEARED OUT WAVE AND SOME 700-600 MB
FRONTOGENESIS FORECAST ON THE NAM AND GFS ACROSS SOUTHWEST MN ALONG
THE MID-LEVEL FRONT OVERNIGHT. THE COLUMN IS SOMEWHAT DRY FOR
SHOWERS SO JUST HAVE GONE MOSTLY CLOUDY AT THIS TIME. THE COLD AIR
ADVECTION BRUNT WILL HAPPEN TONIGHT...SO ON WEDNESDAY WITH
CONTINUED DRY AIR ADVECTION THE SIGNATURE FOR STRATOCU IS NOT THAT
STRONG. THE CU RULE HINTS AT CLOUDS LINGERING IN THE EAST AND
NORTH BUT THAT IS IT...AND MAYBE ONLY THROUGH THE MORNING.
WEDNESDAY LOOKS TO HAVE THE COOLEST HIGHS SINCE THE FIRST HALF OF
MAY.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...THE 13.00 GFS IS SLIGHTLY
QUICKER WITH BUILDING THE CANADIAN HIGH OVER THE AREA THAN THE
13.00 NAM. THIS WOULD FAVOR MORE OF THE AREA SEEING A FREEZE
CONCERN WITH WINDS BEING CALM ALREADY BY MID-EVENING. EITHER
WAY...BOTH MODELS AGREE WESTERN MN SHOULD SEE CALM CONDITIONS AND
CLEAR SKIES TO START THE EVENING...AND THAT WILL SPREAD EASTWARD
WITH TIME. WITH 850MB TEMPERATURES OF -1C TO -4C AND THE OTHER
AFOREMENTIONED IDEAL RADIATIONAL COOLING ELEMENTS...HAVE TRENDED
HEAVILY TOWARDS THE COOLER GUIDANCE. TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER
20S TO LOWER 30S ARE THUS CURRENTLY FORECAST ACROSS MUCH OF THE
OUTLYING MN CWA. LOWER TO MID 30S ARE FORECAST FOR WESTERN WI
WHERE THE WINDS WILL CALM LATER AND THERE MAY BE SOME LINGERING
STRATOCU. HAVE MENTIONED FROST EVERYWHERE...WIDESPREAD IN THE
WEST. WHILE FREEZE WATCHES ARE RARE AND GENERALLY NOT ISSUED 36
HOURS IN ADVANCE...THESE FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE TWO AND A HALF
WEEKS AHEAD OF NORMAL FOR MOST OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN MN /AND
POSSIBLY WESTERN WI IF THAT AREA CAN DROP COLDER/. ALSO...A LATE
PLANTING START COULD MEAN HEIGHTENED RISK. IN ADDITION...A HARD
FREEZE OF 28F OR LOWER IS POSSIBLE IN WESTERN MN...WHICH WOULD BE
3 TO 4 WEEKS AHEAD OF TIME. SO HAVE COLLABORATED WITH NEIGHBORS
FOR A FREEZE WATCH FOR TOMORROW NIGHT. THURSDAY NIGHT WILL SEE THE
RIDGING OVER WESTERN WI...SO A COOL NIGHT IS EXPECTED THERE ONCE
AGAIN...POTENTIALLY COLDER THAN WEDNESDAY NIGHT THERE AND BELOW
FREEZING. CURRENTLY THE FORECAST LOW /32/ FOR EAU CLAIRE ON FRIDAY
MORNING IS A RECORD /PREVIOUS WAS 34 IN 1916/.

BEYOND...THERE WERE LITTLE CHANGES MADE TO THIS PORTION OF THE
FORECAST AS MODELS CONTINUE TO AGREE IN A DRY AND GENERAL GRADUAL
WARM AIR ADVECTION PATTERN FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. THE UPPER FLOW
TURNS WEST SOUTHWEST BY THE MIDDLE TO END OF THE WEEKEND WITH
GRADUALLY INCREASING LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE. HAVE INTRODUCED A CHANCE
OF SHOWERS ON SUNDAY WITH THE APPROACH OF A FRONT AND INSTABILITY
AXIS AHEAD OF IT. THE 13.00 GFS HAS TRENDED QUICKER THAN THE
EC...AND AT THIS TIME HAVE FAVORED THE SLOWER EC SOLUTION KEEPING
THE CHANCE ON MONDAY AS WELL.

&&

.AVIATION.../00Z TAF ISSUANCE/

GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS GRADUALLY DIMINISHING EARLY OVER EASTERN AREAS
AS INITIAL SURFACE HIGH BUILDS OVER WESTERN MN.  SHOULD SEE FEW
CLOUDS 4000-5000FT OVERNIGHT...MAINLY EAST...GRADUALLY CLEARING AS
WELL...AS STRONGEST LOW LEVEL CAA MOVES EAST. WINDS WILL TURNING
MORE WESTERLY ON TUESDAY AHEAD OF A SECOND COLD FRONT WHICH WILL
PUSH INTO THE NORTHERN TAF AREA AROUND 00Z AND THEN DROPPING SOUTH
ACROSS MOST OF THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA THROUGH 05Z WED. SOME LOWER
CLOUDS EXPECTED TO FILTER IN BEHIND SECONDARY FRONT BUT MAY BE UNTIL
AFTER 05Z THAT IT WORKS INTO THE REGION.  GUSTY NNW WINDS WILL
DEVELOP BEHIND THIS FEATURE AS WELL..

KMSP...VFR CONDITIONS CONTINUE THRUT PERIOD. SOME STRATOCUMULUS
AROUND 4K FEET OVERNIGHT AND INTO TUESDAY MORNING.  GUSTY NORTHWEST
WINDS DIMINISHING DURING THE EARLY MORNING AND THEN BECOMING MORE
WESTERLY AND PICKING UP A BIT AHEAD OF THE NEXT COLD FRONT. MAY SEE
SOME MID LEVEL CLOUDS WITH NEXT BOUNDARY AS IT SAGS SOUTH INTO THE
EVENING HOURS WITH WINDS BECOMING MORE NORTHERLY AND GUSTY WITH
FROPA. LOWER CLOUDS WILL EVENTUALLY WORK SOUTH OVER THE AREA...BUT
MAY BE VERY LATE.  LEFT OUT OF THIS FORECAST FOR NOW.
