NARROW AREA OF MODERATE TO STRONG THUNDERSTORMS NOTED ON RADAR
FROM TWIN CITIES SOUTH INTO EASTERN FREEBORN COUNTY. HRRR HANDLED
INTIATION OF THIS ACTIVITY OVER FAR NORTHERN IOWA AND FAR SOUTH
CENTRAL MN VERY WELL EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON...SO USED SAME TO

USED GFS40 THETA E ADVECTION TO SORT OUT TIMING AND INTENSITY
OF PCPN INTO MONDAY AFTERNOON. THROTTLED BACK SOMEWHAT ON
QPF VALUES OVER PORTION OF THE FA DUE TO SLACKENING POP CHANCES
LATER TONIGHT AND AGAIN ON MONDAY. LOCAL WRF MODEL STILL INDICATING
VERY IMPRESSIVE 850MB TRANSPORT VECTOR CONVERGENCE OVER MUCH OF
THE FA LATE THIS AFTN INTO THIS EVENING...WITH SLACKENING VALUES
NOTED OVER SW PORTION OF CWA BY 06Z. WITH THAT SAID ANTICIPATE
BEST CHANCES FOR ANY FLOOD POTENTIAL FOR REMAINDER OF FLASH
FLOOD WATCH REGION WILL BE EAST OF A LINE...FROM ST CLOUD TO
HUTCHINSON...TO WINNEBAGO. 50H LOW OVER WESTERN DAKOTAS WILL
BECOME VERTICALLY STACKED WITH SFC CYCLONE BY MON/12Z TIME FRAME

OF SHOWERS WEDNESDAY AND WED NIGHT. MOSTLY CLOUDY AND COOL WEATHER
EXPECTED AND HAVE LOWERED MAX TEMPS. UPPER LOW STILL CLOSE ENOUGH TO
MERIT KEEPING A CHANCE OF SHOWERS INTO THURSDAY IN THE EAST. THEN
UPPER RIDGE APPROACHES. CANADIAN SURFACE HIGH MAKES A GLANCING BLOW
AND WINDS MAY BE LIGHT ENOUGH THURSDAY NIGHT TO ALLOW TEMPS TO DROP
INTO THE UPPER 30S FROM MILLE LACS LAKE TO RICE LAKE AND LADYSMITH.
SOME VARIATION IN MODELS AS TO HOW LONG THE UPPER RIDGE WILL REMAIN
OVER THE AREA LATE THIS WEEK. SOME GUIDANCE SUGGESTS IT MOVING EAST
QUICKLY ENOUGH TO BRING IN ANOTHER CHANCE OF STORMS SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY.
