739 AM CDT MON JUN 24 2013

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 735 AM CDT MON JUN 24 2013

CDFNT EXTENDING FROM LOW PRES CENTER OVER S-CENTRAL MANITOBA WILL
DRIFT SE THRU CENTRAL-SRN MN AND WRN WI THIS MRNG...HOLDING EARLY
MORNING CONVECTION OVER IA S OF THE CWFA AND MAKING FOR A
BREAK IN THE PRECIPITATION EARLY ON. HIGH PRES WILL SLIDE IN
BEHIND THE FRONT FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE DAY...BUT THE CDFNT
WILL SETTLE S OF THE AREA TDA AND SHIFT ITS AFFILIATION TO ANOTHER
LOW PRES CENTER DEVELOPING OVER ERN MT. THE FNT WILL TRANSITION TO
A WMFNT AND SLOWLY LIFT BACK N THIS EVE THRU THE OVERNIGHT HRS
WHILE H85 MOISTURE TRANSPORT SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES. WHILE THERE
IS NO DOUBT IN THE ADDITIONAL AMOUNT OF MOISTURE ADVECTED INTO THE
REGION...THE DIRECTION OF ITS TRAVEL IS QUESTIONABLE AND THIS WILL
AFFECT EXACTLY WHERE GREATEST PRECIP CHCS AND HIGHEST QPFS WILL
OCCUR. THIS WILL ALSO AFFECT STRENGTH OF STORMS BUT...GENERALLY
SPEAKING...THE RESUMPTION OF DEEP SW FLOW BETWEEN A SHARP TROF
AXIS OVER THE CENTRAL-NRN PLAINS AND A RIDGE OVER THE GREAT LAKES
AND OHIO VALLEY WILL ENHANCE LOW- AND MID-LVL JETTING ALONG WITH
INCRG INSTABILITY. DEWPOINTS WILL REMAIN IN THE MID TO UPR 60S
WHICH WILL CONTRIBUTE TO SBCAPES IN THE 2000-3000 J/KG RANGE WITH
DIMINISHING CAPPING. AM CURRENTLY KEEPING TABS ON CONVECTIVE
CLUSTERS OVER SD/NE SHIFTING NE AND THERE IS QUITE GOOD SHORT-TERM
MODEL AGREEMENT ON THE TIMING AND PLACEMENT OF THESE CLUSTERS INTO
SRN MN ARND 17Z...ARND THE TWIN CITIES ARND 19Z AND INTO WRN WI BY
12Z. NOT AS CONFIDENT ON THE STRENGTH OF STORMS SINCE THERE ARE NO
WARNINGS ON THE ACVITITY ATTM. HOWEVER...LOTS OF DAYLIGHT AHEAD OF
THESE STORMS WILL AID INSTABILITY WHILE THE STORMS WILL HAVE A
PATH FORMED BY THE CONVERGENCE OF THE CDFNT TO THE N AND THE NWD-
MOVING WMFNT. WILL ADJUST GRIDS TO MATCH CURRENT THINKING. AS FOR
LATER ON TNGT...PREVAILING SPC THINKING IS THAT MCS- TYPE
ACTIVITY THAT DEVELOPS OVER THE DAKOTAS MAY DIVE ESE INTO SRN
PORTIONS OF MN LATE TNGT...AND COMBINED WITH CELL MERGERS AND
TRAINING...THE POSSIBILITY OF BOTH SEVERE WEATHER AND HEAVY
RAIN/FLOODING RESUMES TNGT. PRIMARY SEVERE MODE WOULD BE DAMAGING
WINDS WITH SECONDARY MODE OF LARGE HAIL AND LASTLY ISOLD TORNADOES
/OWING TO THE 2 PERCENT TORNADO CHC SPC PAINTED IN FOR FAR SWRN MN
IN THE SWODY1/.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 347 AM CDT MON JUN 24 2013

CONVECTION SHOULD BE ONGOING IN OR VERY NEAR THE FORECAST AREA
TUESDAY MORNING. GIVEN THE ORIENTATION OF THE LLJ AND MOISTURE
TRANSPORT VECTORS AT 12Z TUESDAY...INCLUDED HIGHER POPS IN EASTERN
MN AND WESTERN WI. ADMITTEDLY...IT'S DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE
PRECISELY WHERE THE WARM FRONT WILL BE TUESDAY MORNING...BUT BEST
ESTIMATE WOULD BE SOMEWHERE NEAR A LINE FROM REDWOOD FALLS...TO
MANKATO...TO LA CROSSE. A GRADUALLY DEEPENING SURFACE LOW WILL
APPROACH FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND LIKELY GIVEN THIS FRONT A
NORTHWARD BOOST BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. BY 18-20Z...THE FRONT WILL
LIKELY EXTEND FROM JUST SOUTH OF ALEXANDRIA...TO THE TWIN CITIES
METRO...TO EAU CLAIRE. WE NEVER REALLY LOSE THE 925-850 MB MOISTURE
TRANSPORT AND CONVERGENCE DURING THE DAY ON TUESDAY...BUT THE FOCUS
IS DEFINITELY CENTERED MORE OVER WI. SO...STRUGGLED WITH WHETHER OR
NOT TO HOLD ON TO POPS AFTER THE TUESDAY MORNING CONVECTION...BEFORE
BRINGING THE CHANCE BACK DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. MY
GUT TELLS ME THERE WILL BE A SIZABLE BREAK IN THE ACTION FOR MANY
LOCATIONS WITH THE WARM ADVECTION KEEPING ELEVATED CONVECTION NORTH
OF THE ADVANCING WARM FRONT ON THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN FRINGES OF
THE FORECAST AREA...PERHAPS EVEN LARGELY OUT OF THE FORECAST AREA.
MOST OF THE GUIDANCE INDICATES A MORE SUBTLE SHORTWAVE IN THE
VICINITY TUESDAY MORNING OUT AHEAD OF THE MUCH MORE FORMIDABLE WAVE.
THIS MAIN WAVE ACTUALLY STRETCHES FROM WA TO AZ THIS MORNING...BUT
THE MORE SUBTLE SHORTWAVE/S/ OUT AHEAD OF IT IS MY JUSTIFICATION FOR
KEEP SOME POPS IN THE FORECAST LATE TUESDAY MORNING AND AFTERNOON.

THE MAIN WAVE ARRIVES LATER ON IN THE DAY ON TUESDAY. WARM TEMPS
ALOFT SHOULD KEEP A LOT OF IOWA CAPPED...BUT WE SHOULD BE IN A
DECENT SPOT TO GET WIDESPREAD CONVECTION GIVEN THE STRENGTH OF THE
FORCING AND LARGE POOL OF INSTABILITY OVER THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI
RIVER VALLEY. THE NAM IS MORE FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE WEATHER BECAUSE
OF THE SHEAR PROFILE. THE 24.00/06Z NAM HAS STRONG 500MB WINDS IN
THE 30-40KT RANGE AND GOOD 850-500 MB CROSSOVER WITH NICE A NICE
VEERING PROFILE ABOVE 850 MB. THE SHEAR IS A LIMITING FACTOR OFF
MUCH OF THE GUIDANCE THOUGH. FOR EXAMPLE...THE GFS/ECMWF ARE WEAKER
WITH THE MIDLEVEL JET /MAYBE 20-25 KTS/ AND ALSO HAVE THE STRONGER
WINDS NEAR THE 700 MB 14 C ISOTHERM. TIME WILL TELL THOUGH...BECAUSE
THE AXIS OF BEST WIND HAS SHIFTED AROUND OVER THE LAST FEW RUNS.

OTHERWISE...AFTER THE SEVERE THREAT ON TUESDAY THE UPPER LOW SWINGS
THROUGH ON WEDNESDAY AND SHOULD SHIFT THE BEST CHANCES FOR SEVERE
WEATHER A COUPLE STATES TO OUR SOUTHEAST. WE STILL DO CARRY A CHANCE
FOR THUNDER UNDERNEATH THE LOW ON WEDNESDAY. THURSDAY...FRIDAY AND
NEXT WEEKEND LOOK VERY PLEASANT WITH A DRIER AND MILD NORTHWEST
FLOW. TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY WILL REMAIN IN A NICE COMFORTABLE
RANGE...HOWEVER...WE COULD HAVE A COUPLE BREEZY AFTERNOONS WITH THAT
LOW HANGING OUT OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND STEEP LAPSE RATES OVER
MN/WI.

ISSUED AT 735 AM CDT MON JUN 24 2013

CDFNT HAS SLID ACRS NRN MN INTO NR WI WHILE A WMFNT OVER SRN NE
AND SRN IA SHIFTS N. THESE TWO WEAK BOUNDARIES WILL EVENTUALLY
LINE UP...ATTENDENT TO A LOW PRES CENTER DEVELOPING OVER MT.
PATCHY FOG THIS MRNG...ESP OVER THE WI SITES...CURRENTLY

SITE ABLE TO AVOID THIS COMPLEX MAY BE KAXN...BUT ALL OTHER SITES
VERY MUCH LOOK TO BE IMPACTED BETWEEN 18Z-00Z THIS AFTERNOON. HAVE
ADDRESSED THIS VIA TEMPO GROUPS. HAVE HELD VSBY TO 3SM BUT THIS
MAY EASILY BE LOWER. ALSO...TIMING COULD BE SLIGHTLY ADJUSTED AN
HOUR EITHER WAY. ONCE THIS LINE MOVES THROUGH...CONDITIONS SLOWLY
IMPROVE LATE THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT...BUT PATCHY FOG MAY WELL
SET IN ONCE WINDS DROP OFF AND PARTIAL CLEARING OCCURS. AM NOT
THINKING ATTM ADDITIONAL RAINFALL WILL DEVELOP OVERNIGHT.

NE NEBRASKA PUTS IT ARND MSP 19Z. HAVE UTILIZED A TEMPO GROUP TO

ALL OF THE OUTLOOK AREA. NON SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED
WEDNESDAY BEFORE MINNESOTA AND WISCONSIN FINALLY DRY OUT FOR A FEW
