FORECAST CONCERNS TODAY ARE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT OVER WESTERN
WISCONSIN AND ADDITIONAL RAINS OVER RAIN SOAKED AREAS IN SOUTH
CENTRAL INTO EAST CENTRAL MN. SHORT TERM MODELS HAVE A GOOD HANDLE
ON THE MAX RAINFALL LOCATION PAST 12 HOURS. PRECIP SHOULD MOVE
EAST OVER EASTERN MN AND WESTERN WISCONSIN TODAY. RAINFALL

SHOWED CLOUD TOPS OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST WARMING. RAINFALL RATES
DURING THE REST OF THE MORNING SHOULD REMAIN UNDER .60 INCH PER
HOUR. ONLY FLOOD PROBLEM WILL BE SOME PONDING OF WATER IN LOW
LYING AREAS...AND URBAN AREAS...STORM DRAINS CANT HANDLE THE
AMOUNT OF RUNOFF. CONTINUE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR CENTRAL AND
SOUTH CENTRAL MN THROUGH 100 PM THIS AFTERNOON. THERE WAS SOME
CONCERN WHETHER TO EXPAND EAST OVER INTO WESTERN WISCONSIN. FLASH
FLOOD GUIDANCE VALUES WERE ONE TO THREE HOUR TOTALS WERE BETWEEN
2.9 TO 4.0 INCHES. DONT REALLY FEEL STRONG IF AREAS IN WESTERN
WISCONSIN WILL RECEIVE RAINFALL TOTALS EXCEEDING 3 INCHES IN ONE
OR THREE HOURS.
SURFACE WAVE WILL LIFT NORTHEAST ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY TODAY
IN RESPONSE TO A DEEPER SHORTWAVE TROUGH FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE
UPPER MIDWEST THIS AFTERNOON. BY AFTERNOON...MLCAPES VALUES COULD
EXCEED OVER 1000 J/KG. WITH A COUPLED JET MAXS WITH PLENTY SHEAR
IN PLACE. ISOLD SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON...WITH
DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER THREATS.
TORNADOES ARE ALSO POSSIBLE.
SURFACE GRADIENT WILL TIGHTEN AHEAD OF THIS WAVE...ESPECIALLY
OVER WESTERN WISCONSIN. WINDS GUST EXPECTED TO INCREASE TO 25-30
MPH IN THE WAKE OF THE SURFACE LOW OVER SOUTH CENTRAL MN THIS
AFTERNOON. THUS WILL GO WITH A WIND ADVISORY FOR PARTS OF WEST
CENTRAL WISCONSIN FROM NOON THROUGH 600 PM THIS EVENING.
FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY...LONG WAVE TROUGH OVER THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST...WILL SLOWLY MOVE SOUTHEAST AND STRENGTHEN OVER THE
WESTERN CONUS BEFORE LIFTING NORTHEAST INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS
EARLY IN THE WORK WEEK NEXT WEEK. THE THREAT OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL LINGER OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST AS SURFACE
FRONTAL BOUNDARY MEANDER OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND LOWER GREAT
LAKES.

.AVIATION.../12Z TAF ISSUANCE/
KIND OF A MESS OUT THERE WITH VFR TO LIFR...RAIN FREE AREAS TO
HEAVY RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS...WINDS SWITCHING DEPENDING WHAT SIDE
OF THE FRONT YOUR ON...AND TO TOP IT OFF IT CHANGES EVERY HOUR.
PRETTY LOW CONFIDENCE IN THE SPECIFIC TIMING OF TIMING OF
THUNDERSTORMS...SO TRIED TO HANDLE THE TWO EXPECTED WAVES. THERE
IS THE FIRST COMING THROUGH THIS MORNING. THE STORM MOTION IS
ROUGHLY 50KTS...SO IT SHOULD BE THROUGH PRETTY QUICK. THEN...A
LULL...BEFORE REDEVELOPMENT IN THAT AFTERNOON IN FAR EASTERN MN
AND WESTERN WI. THE MODEL GUIDANCE SEEMS WAY TOO AGRESSIVE WITH
LOW CEILINGS/VISIBILITY BEHIND THE FRONT. AS A RESULT...THE TAF
TRENDS TOWARD VFR AFTER THE RAIN MOVES OUT.
KMSP...KMSP...BOUTS OF THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE...ALTHOUGH SHOULD
GET A DECENT BREAK SHORTLY AND RETURN TO JUST LIGHT -SHRA UNTIL
THIS AFTERNOON WHEN STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECETD TO BREAK
OUT AGAIN. STORMS MIGHT ACTUALLY FORM RIGHT OVER THE MINNEAPOLIS
METRO AND QUICKLY MOVE INTO WISCONSIN.
