351 AM CST WED JAN 23 2013
.SHORT TERM...
WIND CHILLS FOR THE FIRST FEW PERIODS AND THEN PRECIP CHANCES
THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE THE PRIMARY FORECAST CONCERNS FOR
THE SHORT TERM.
FAIRLY VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS EVIDENT ON WV LOOP DIGGING
DOWN THROUGH MANITOBA THIS MORNING...AND MODELS ARE ALL IN PRETTY
GOOD AGREEMENT ON BRINGING IT DOWN THROUGH THE MN ARROWHEAD INTO
THE GREAT LAKES TODAY. THIS SHOULD HELP PUSH ANOTHER SURGE OF COLD
AIR DOWN INTO THE CWA WITH A 1040 PLUS HIGH BUILDING INTO THE
NORTHERN PLAINS BY AFTERNOON. WINDS HAVE SHIFTED TO THE NORTHWEST
ALREADY IN THE DEVILS LAKE BASIN AND NORTHERN RED RIVER VALLEY
THIS MORNING WITH DECENT COLD AIR ADVECTION. TEMPS IN THE
SOUTHWESTERN COUNTIES ARE AROUND 10 F BUT THINK THAT THIS WILL BE
NEARLY AS HIGH AS IT GOES TODAY AS COLD AIR SETTLES IN. THERE
SHOULD BE SOME DECENT MIXING TO ALMOST 950MB LATER TODAY AND WINDS
SHOULD BECOME BREEZY. THINK THAT WITH THE COLD AIR COMING DOWN AND
WINDS PICKING UP...WIND CHILLS WILL STAY BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA
IN THE NORTH AND DROP DOWN IN THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES LATE THIS
AFTERNOON. EXTENDED WIND CHILL HEADLINES INTO THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT.
THE SFC HIGH CENTER WILL MOVE OVER MN TONIGHT AND THERE WILL BE A
PERIOD WHERE WINDS GO LIGHT OVER OUR EASTERN COUNTIES.
HOWEVER...DEPENDING ON CLOUD COVER TEMPS WILL BOTTOM OUT VERY
LOW...IN THE -25 F RANGE OR EVEN BELOW. THEN WINDS WILL SHIFT TO
THE SOUTH AND PICK UP AGAIN AS LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS OVER ALBERTA. WILL
CONTINUE TO KEEP WIND CHILL ADVISORY GOING UNTIL TOMORROW AT 18Z.
A FEW SPOTS BRIEFLY HAVE WIND CHILLS DOWN LOWER THAN 40
BELOW...BUT WITH LIGHT WINDS AND UNCERTAINTY WITH CLOUD COVER WILL
KEEP IT ONLY AN ADVISORY FOR NOW AND LET LATER SHIFTS LOOK AT
IF WE WILL MEET WARNING CRITERIA.
ANOTHER SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL BEGIN TO DIG INTO SASKATCHEWAN AND
MANITOBA THURSDAY. THE SFC HIGH WILL MOVE OFF TO THE GREAT LAKES
AND THE TROUGH WILL EJECT INTO THE WESTERN DAKOTAS. THE MODELS
START BRINGING SOME WARM AIR ADVECTION PRECIP INTO OUR
NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES BY LATE IN THE DAY...SO KEPT THE TREND OF
ONLY SLIGHT POPS IN THE MORNING BUT SOME LIKELIES IN THE
AFTERNOON. TEMPS ON THURSDAY WILL HAVE A COLD START AND STRUGGLE
TO GET ABOVE ZERO. WARM AIR ADVECTION AND WESTERLY WINDS WILL KICK
IN THURSDAY NIGHT AND THINK THAT READINGS WILL BE NON-DIURNAL WITH
FAIRLY WARM TEMPS OVERNIGHT BEFORE COLD AIR MOVES BACK IN FOR FRIDAY.
MODELS HAVE BEEN TRENDING A BIT FURTHER NORTH WITH THE TRACK OF
THE THURSDAY/THURSDAY NIGHT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. BUMPED UP POPS A
BIT MORE IN THE LAKE OF THE WOODS AREA. AT THIS POINT IT STILL
SEEMS THAT PRECIP AMOUNTS WILL BE FAIRLY LIGHT WITH 1 TO 3 INCHES
POSSIBLE MAINLY IN THE NORTHEASTERN CWA. PRECIP SHOULD END FRIDAY
AS COLD HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS DOWN INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS AGAIN.
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY NIGHT AND LOWS SHOULD
AGAIN GET IN THE TEENS BELOW ZERO.
.LONG TERM...SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY.
UPPER AIR PATTERN IS PROGRESSIVE THIS PERIOD WITH SOME AMPLIFICATION
AT THE END OF THE PERIOD. THE GFS WAS A LITTLE FASTER THAN THE ECMWF
THROUGH THE PERIOD. WILL PREFER THE SLOWER ECMWF.
MODELS GENERALLY RUNNING FAST. SO WILL SLOW DOWN PRECIPITATION FOR
SAT NIGHT AND ALSO FOR MON THROUGH TUE PERIOD.
LITTLE CHANGE TO HIGH TEMPS EXCEPT FOR TUE WITH TEMPS ABOUT 5 TO 6
DEGREES HIGHER. LOW TEMPS WERE RAISED THREE OR FOUR DEGREES IN THE
SOUTHEAST ZONES. LITTLE CHANGE ELSEWHERE.
&&
.AVIATION...
PATCHY MVFR CEILINGS HAVE CONTINUED OVER THE EASTERN TAF
SITES...WITH SOME -SN LINGERING AT KBJI. THINK CONDITIONS SHOULD
IMPROVE LATER THIS MORNING AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS DOWN INTO THE
REGION. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE NORTHWEST AND INCREASE INTO THE 15
TO 20 KT RANGE BY LATER THIS AFTERNOON. CONDITIONS SHOULD REMAIN
VFR FROM MID MORNING TODAY UNTIL AFTER 12Z THURSDAY AS LOWER
CEILINGS WILL REMAIN OFF TO THE WEST UNTIL AFTER THE TAF PERIOD.
