.UPDATE...

18Z AVIATION DISCUSSION ADDED BELOW.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
STILL WATCHING A NARROW BAND OF CONVECTION DRAPED ACROSS A PORTION
OF WEST CENTRAL WI AND NORTHERN PORTION OF MN CWA EARLY THIS MORNING.
SAME SET OF STORMS BROUGHT A SOMEWHAT SUBDUED BAND OF SEVERE WEATHER
TO MAINLY THE MINNESOTA PORTION OF THE FA YESTERDAY AFTN AND
EVENING...AND MAINLY IN THE FORM OF HAIL AND OCCASIONAL STRONG WIND
GUSTS. IR SATELLITE CURRENTLY PROJECTING A 50H LOW AND 996MB SURFACE
CYCLONE SPINNING ABOVE EASTERN SODAK. STACKED SYSTEM PEGGED TO TREK
INTO CENTRAL MN BY 23/00Z. LOOK FOR LIKELY TO CATEGORICAL POPS TODAY
ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA...AS INSTABILITY INCREASES SUBSTANTIALLY IN
ASSOCIATION WITH THIS SYSTEM. BEST CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS
FA CURRENTLY NOTED EAST OF A LINE...FROM LITCHFIELD TO MANKATO TO
WELLS...AND MAINLY FROM 17Z TO 23Z. ANOTHER POTENTIAL SHOT OF SEVERE
WEATHER NOTED LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING MAINLY OVER
POLK...BARRON AND RUSK COUNTIES. LARGE 50H COLD POOL ALFT POINTING
TO HAIL BEING MAIN SEVERE WEATHER THREAT...WITH OCCASIONAL STRONG
GUST FRONTS ALSO ANTICIPATED LATER IN THE EVENT. VERY STRONG THETA E
ADVECTION NOTED PER GFS40 OVER EASTERN MN CWA AT 22/18Z ...ALONG
WITH QUITE POTENT DIVERGENCE COUPLET IN ASSOCIATION WITH LEFT FRONT
QUAD OF 120KT JET MAX ABOVE SOUTHERN MICHIGAN. 850MB MOISTURE
TRANSPORT VECTORS INDICATE MOST INTENSE RAINFALL SETTING UP ABOVE SE
AND EAST CENTRAL MN...ALONG WITH WEST CENTRAL WI FROM 22/18Z-23/00Z.
LOOK FOR POSSIBLE BURST OF THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH...TO NEAR ONE
AND ONE QUARTERS OF AN INCH...ASSOCIATED WITH SCT THUNDERSTORMS
BEFORE ACTIVITY BEGINS TO WANE AFTER 03Z.

STACKED SFC AND 50H LOW TREAKS INTO NORTHERN MI BY EARLY MONDAY
AFTN. LOOK FOR STANDARD POST FRONTAL SCT SHOWER ACTIVITY TO LEE
OF THIS SYSTEM ON MONDAY...WITH DRY PATTERN BEGINNING MONDAY
EVENING. LOOK FOR ANOTHER STACKED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TO SKIRT
FAR SOUTHERN MN TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WED AFTN. NEXT CHANCE FOR
RAINFALL DEVELOPING OVER FA FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY AS ANOTHER
50H LOW FROM CENTRAL SODAK DIVES INTO FAR WESTERN MO BY EARLY
SAT MORN. LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER GLANCING BLOW TO FAR WESTERN CWA
AT THIS JUNCTURE...WITH BEST POPS ANTICIPATED OVER FAR WESTERN
AND SW CWA.

&&

.AVIATION.../18Z TAF ISSUANCE/

WILL BE AN ACTIVE AFTERNOON ACROSS ERN MN AND WRN WI WITH MULTIPLE
ROUNDS OF TSRA ACTIVITY EXPECTED. FRONTAL BOUNDARY AT 18Z
STRETCHED FROM SFC LOW NEAR RWF ALONG THE MN RIVER TO AEL. SEVERE
STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE EAST OF THIS BOUNDARY...BEFORE DRIER AIR
AND THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING CUTS OFF SHOWERY ACTIVITY TO THE
WEST. OVERNIGHT...WILL SEE MVFR/IFR CIGS SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA AS
COLD AIR ADVECTION SETS IN. GFSLAMP AND SREF PROBS FOR MVFR CIGS
AND LOWER QUITE HIGH...SO LOOKS LIKELY THAT BY SUNRISE MONDAY ALL
TERMINALS WILL BE AT LEAST MVFR.

KMSP...WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR POTENTIAL OF SVR STORMS THRU 21Z.
AFTER THAT...IT IS A MATTER ON WAITING ON MVFR CIGS TO RETURN
LIKELY IN THE 05Z TO 09Z WINDOW.
