What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood watch went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Twin Cities, MN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood watch went out at May 27, 7:07 AM CDT, 2 hours 1 minute earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 27, 7:07 AM CDT, 2 hours 1 minute before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
707 AM CDT SUN MAY 27 2012

.UPDATED FOR 12Z AVIATION DISCUSSION...

&&

.DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED AT 407 AM CDT SUN MAY 27 2012/
VERY ACTIVE PERIOD AHEAD AS A DEEP UPPER LOW OVER THE CENTRAL
ROCKIES LIFTS NORTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH MEMORIAL DAY.
EARLY THIS MORNING...THUNDERSTORMS WERE MAINLY NORTH OF THE CWA
WITH A FEW STRAGGLERS AROUND ONAMIA. THE STORMS IN PARTS OF
CENTRAL MN HAVE ALREADY CAUSED SOME FLOODING PROBLEMS. THIS IS ONE
OF MANY CONCERNS FOR THE DAY/NIGHT AHEAD.

A WARM FRONT STRETCHED ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN MN EARLY THIS MORNING
TO LOW PRESSURE OVER SD. THE WARM FRONT WILL LIFT SLOWLY NORTH
THIS MORNING WITH A CAP BUILDING IN ITS WAKE. THE HRRR TRIES TO
DEVELOP SOME MINOR CONVECTION OVER CENTRAL MN LATE IN THE MORNING
JUST AHEAD OF THE WARM FRONT AND SOME SMALL CHANCE POPS ARE IN THE
FORECAST. HOWEVER...WILL HAVE TO MONITOR THIS CLOSELY AS THE
STORMS JUST NORTH OF US MAY TRY AND BACK BUILD.

IN THE AFTERNOON...A COLD FRONT TRAILING FROM THE SD LOW WILL MOVE
INTO WESTERN MN. THIS SHOULD TRIGGER STRONG TO SEVERE CONVECTION
BY 21Z ACROSS WEST CENTRAL MN. ALL FORMS OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE
POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE CIPS WARM SEASON ANALOGS
SHOW THE MOST CONCENTRATED SEVERE REPORTS FROM SW MN INTO CENTRAL
KS AND PART OF THIS AREA TODAY IS COVERED BY A MODERATE RISK BY
SPC. THE ANALOGS ALSO SHOW NEARLY 50 PERCENT PROBABILITY FOR 2
INCHES OF RAIN AROUND THE TWIN CITIES. THE SREF ALSO HAS 10-20
PERCENT PROBABILITIES FOR 2 INCHES OF RAIN IN 12 HOURS (TONIGHT) JUST
TO THE NORTH AND WEST OF THE TWIN CITIES.

WHAT IS REALLY INTERESTING IS THAT THIS WILL BE THE THIRD WEATHER
SYSTEM IN A ROW TO AFFECT OUR AREA WHERE A MID LEVEL LOW WILL
DRIVE NORTHEAST THROUGH OUR CWA WITH SURFACE LOW PRESSURE RIDING
NORTHEAST ALONG THE FRONT. THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT OCCURRED
LAST WEEK. IN FACT...THE HEAVIEST RAINS TONIGHT ARE PROJECTED TO
FALL OVER ROUGHLY THE SAME AREA THAT SAW 2-5 INCHES LAST WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AND THURSDAY. AS A RESULT...WE ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH
FROM LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY MORNING FOR MUCH OF CENTRAL
AND SOUTHERN MN...INCLUDING THE TWIN CITIES...AS WELL AS POLK
COUNTY IN NORTHWEST WI.

VARIOUS WRF/S SHOW THE CONVECTION WANING ONCE IT PASSES I-35
TONIGHT AND POPS MAY BE TOO HIGH IN THE FAR EASTERN CWA. SOMETHING
FOR LATER SHIFTS TO CONTEND WITH. IN ADDITION...IT WILL BECOME
QUITE HOT AND HUMID OVER EASTERN AND SOUTHERN MN AND WEST CENTRAL
WI TODAY. MIX DOWN IS SHOWING LOWER TO MIDDLE 90S FOR THIS AREA.
COMBINE THIS WITH THE DEW POINT BEING NEAR 70 DEGREES AND THE
HEAT INDEX RISES TO NEARLY 100 DEGREES. WILL MENTION THIS IN THE
HWO. ALSO...THERE IS SOME POTENTIAL FOR WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA
TODAY ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MN.

THERE WILL BE LINGERING CHANCES ON MONDAY ACROSS PARTS OF WEST
CENTRAL WI FOR SOME SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS THE FRONT MOVES
THROUGH. PRETTY IMPRESSIVE DRY SLOT SPREADING IN DURING THE DAY.
MUCH COOLER WITH SOME SHOWERS FOR MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY. NO
CHANGES MADE BEYOND TUESDAY WITH CURRENT WEATHER TAKING PRECEDENCE.

&&

.AVIATION.../12Z TAF ISSUANCE/
A SURFACE WARM FRONT WAS DRAPED EAST/WEST ACROSS THE REGION WITH
CLEAR SKIES AND SOUTHERLY WINDS SOUTH OF THE FRONTAL
BOUNDARY...AND LOW STRATUS WITH CB NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY. TODAY
THIS WARM FRONT WILL SHIFT NORTHWARD...WITH GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS
SPREADING ACROSS THE REGION. LATER THIS AFTERNOON SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP OVER WESTERN MN AND MOVE EASTWARD
DURING THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. THERE COULD BE A COUPLE
ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS...BUT TRIED TO TIME THE HIGHEST
PROBABILITY CENTERED AROUND AND SHORTLY AFTER 00Z. THE STORMS
SHOULD BE OUT OF THE AREA BY LATER TOMORROW MORNING.

KMSP...PESKY BROKEN DECK SHOULD BREAK UP QUICKLY THIS
MORNING...RESULTING IN VFR CONDITIONS WITH GUSTY SOUTHERLY
WINDS. THINKING THAT THUNDERSTORMS WILL HOLD OFF UNTIL 00Z THIS
EVENING...AND HAVE TRIED TO TIME THE BEST CHANCE DURING THE 3HR
WINDOW FOLLOWING 02Z. THIS MAY HAVE TO BE MODIFIED AS IT BECOMES
MORE APPARENT WHEN/WHERE CONVECTION WILL DEVELOP. COULD SEE
THUNDERSTORMS THE MAJORITY OF THE NIGHT...BUT WENT WITH VCTS DUE
TO THE UNCERTAINTY.

/OUTLOOK/
MONDAY...VFR. WINDS WSW AT 15G25KT
TUESDAY...MVFR/VFR. WINDS NW AT 15G25KT
WEDNESDAY...VFR. WINDS LIGHT AND VARIABLE.
