Area forecast discussion, Jul 5, 5:21 AM CDT, 1 hour 9 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
521 AM CDT THU JUL 5 2012

.DISCUSSION...

SCATTERED TSTMS...A FEW BORDERLINE SEVERE DEVELOPED IN PAST COUPLE
OF HOURS IN MOIST PLUME EXTENDING ACROSS S MN. ATMOS VERY UNSTABLE
IN MID LEVELS WITH STRONG LAPSE RATES WHERE AXIS OF K INDEX VALUES
AROUND 40. MOST OF THIS ROUND OF CONVECTION SHUD OVER BY 0900 AS
850 MB TROF MOVES THRU AREA AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT VECTORS BECOME
DIRECTED MORE WNW TO ESE.

MAIN FORECAST ISSUES WILL BE WITH CONVECTIVE CHANCES INTO SATURDAY AS
WELL THE EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING WHICH IS CURRENTLY IN PLACE.

AT THE SURFACE THE ADVERTISED WEAK COOL FRONT HAS BEEN MAKING
PROGESS OVERNITE AND CURRENTLY LIES FROM ARND DLH TO NEAR ULM.
BEGINNING TO SEE SURFACE DEWPOINTS FALL ACROSS NW MN IN THE WAKE
OF THE FRONT. NICE SURFACE PRESSURE RISE AREA BEHIND FRONT WILL
CONTINUE TO PUSH IT ALONG THIS MORNING...BUT PROGRESS SHOULD SLOW
THIS AFTERNOON AND 500 MB HEIGHT BEGIN TO RISE. AFTERNOON
TEMPERATURES WILL BE SEVERAL DEGREES COOLER ACROSS CENTRAL MN
TODAY WITH LOWER RH. THUS DROPPED THE THE HEAT WARNING ACROSS
ABOUT A DOZEN COUNTIES ACROSS CENTRAL INTO WC MN. WITH FRONT
REBOUNDING BACK NORTH AS A WARM FRONT LATE TONIGHT AND
FRIDAY...EXTENDED THE HEAT WARNING UNTIL 7 PM FRIDAY ACROSS S MN
TOWARD EAU.

AIRMASS WILL VERY VERY UNSTABLE TODAY ACROSS S CWA WITH SBCAPE
AR0UND 4000 J/KG. MID LEVEL TEMPS VERY WARM WHICH WILL PROVIDE
SOME CAPPING...BUT WITH ATMOS SO UNSTABLE AND BOUNDARY IN AREA ANY
STORMS WHICH DO DEVELOP COULD BECOME SEVERE.

SHOULD SEE TSTMS DEVELOP TONIGHT IN THE DKTS AND THEN MOVE MAINLY
INTO CENTRAL MN IN INCREASING MID LEVEL THETA E ADVECTION. VERY
IMPRESSIVE 850 MB THERMAL GRADIENT ACROSS CENTRAL MN ON FRIDAY
WITH WARMFRONT SETTING UP ACROSS S MN. WITH PWATS REBOUNDING TO
1.75 TO 2 INCHES LOOKS LIKE A GOOD SETUP FOR HEAVY RAINS ACROSS
CENTRAL MN FRIDAY AFTN/EVENING AS SURFACE LOW TRACKS ACROSS S MN.
FALLING MID LEVEL TEMPS SHOULD ALSO ALLOW PCPN TO DEVELOP
SOUTHWARD FRIDAY NIGHT INTO S CWA AS 1000-500 MB THICKNESS FIELD
BECOMES DIFFLUENT AND ORIENTED TOWARD THE SE ACROSS THAT AREA.
SEVERE THREAT CERTAINLY ALSO POSSIBLE WITH BOUNDARY PRESENT AND
INCREASING 0-6 KM BULK SHEAR.

NAM/GFS DROP PCPN SE OF AREA BY MID DAY SATURDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS INTO AREA...BUT ECMWF KEEPS PCPN GOING S AREAS THROUGH SAT
NIGHT. TRIMMED BACK POPS N AREAS AS MOST AREAS SHOULD BE FAR ENUF
INTO NW FLOW TO MINIMIZE PCPN THREAT.

NW FLOW THEN CONTINUES FOR BALANCE OF FORECAST PERIOD BRINGING
SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES AND LITTLE CHC OF PCPN.

.AVIATION.../06Z TAF ISSUANCE/

SHWRS/TSTMS OCCURRING MAINLY ALONG A WOBBLING QUASI-STNRY FNT
DRAPED OVER N-CENTRAL MN. CONVECTION HAS BEEN PUSHING SE...NUDGING
THE FNT A BIT S AS THE CONVECTION HAS BEEN MOVING ALONG. THE
ACTIVITY HAS REMAINED N OF ALL THE TERMINALS AND ITS LATEST
TRAJECTORIES HAS THAT TREND CONTINUING SO HAVE OPTED TO KEEP THE
TAFS DRY. SMALL CHC THAT KMSP-KRNH-KEAU COULD SEE SOME OF THIS
CONVECTION BUT LACK OF CONFIDENCE FROM SHORT-RANGE MODELS AND
MOTIONS OF STORMS PRECLUDE MENTION ATTM. IN ADDITION... CONFIDENCE
IS LOW IN WIND DIRECTIONS DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE FNT SO
GENERALLY SPEEDS WILL REMAIN LESS THAN 7 KT WHILE DIRECTIONS WILL
BE MORE ON THE VARIABLE SIDE THAN A PREDOMINANT DIRECTION THRU THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. AFTER DAYBREAK...WINDS WILL BECOME W TO NW THEN
CONTINUE VEERING TO N AND NE THRU THE DAY AS A CDFNT OVER WRN MN
SLOWLY PUSHES E. SPEEDS INCRS TO NEAR 10 KT THEN DROP OFF IN THE
EVENING. MAINLY MID- AND HIGH-LEVEL CLOUDS WITH OCNL CEILINGS THRU
LATE MRNG...THEN SKIES SCATTER OUT LATE DAY THRU TMRW EVENING.

MSP...KEPT VFR CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE TAF ALONG WITH A PRECIP-
FREE FORECAST. ONGOING CONVECTION ALONG WOBBLING STNRY FRONT OVER
NORTH-CENTRAL WILL REMAIN CLOSE TO THE FNT...AND THE FNT IS NOT
EXPECTED TO DROP ANY CLOSER TO MSP. CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY
DROPPING S THIS EVENING LOOKS TO PUSH THRU MSP BY 06Z-07Z...
CAUSING A BRIEF WIND SHIFT TO N. WINDS WILL THEN RETURN TO S-SW BY
DAYBREAK THEN CONTINUE SHIFTING ARND TO NW AS A CDFNT APPROACHES.
SPEEDS WILL REMAIN LESS THAN 7 KT SO...BECAUSE OF UNCERTAINTY WITH
TIMING OF SHIFTS...HAVE OPTED TO USE VRB05KT THRU LATE MRNG THEN
GOING WITH A NW TO N TREND FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. WINDS WILL
CONTINUE TO VEER TO NE BY THIS EVENING BUT WITH RELATIVELY LIGHT
SPEEDS. SLGT CHC THAT ISOLD CONVECTION COULD COME NEAR OR OVER
MSP...BUT CONFIDENCE IS QUITE LOW ON TIMING IF IT OCCURS AT ALL SO
OPTED TO KEEP TAF DRY. MAINLY MID- AND HIGH- CLOUDS WITH OCNL
CEILINGS THRU THE DAY UNTIL LATE DAY SCT COVERAGE.

OUTLOOK...
.FRIDAY...VFR/MVFR. CHC SHWRS/TSTMS. SHIFTING WINDS...BECOMING NE
5-10 KT.
.SATURDAY...VFR/MVFR. CHC SHWRS/TSTMS. WINDS NE 5-10 KT.
.SUNDAY...VFR NORTH...VFR/MVFR SOUTH WITH A CHC OF SHWRS/TSTMS.
