NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
321 PM CDT TUE AUG 6 2013

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 226 PM CDT TUE AUG 6 2013

CONTINUING TO MONITOR THE MESOSCALE ENVIRONMENT THIS AFTERNOON TO
ATTEMPT TO HONE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. HAVE SEEN EXTENSIVE CLEARING THIS AFTERNOON IN THE WAKE
OF THE NOCTURNAL CLOUD DEBRIS. DESTABILIZATION IS ENSUING AHEAD OF
THE SURFACE LOW THAT IS STRADDLING THE INTERSECTION POINT OF
ND/SD/WC MN. MEANWHILE...MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL CONTINUE TO
STEEPEN AS A MIDLEVEL JET NOSES INTO THE AREA. EXPECT THE
COMBINATION OF THESE FEATURES TO FUEL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...WITH SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS APPEARING
LIKELY. THE STORM MODE STILL APPEARS SUPERCELLULAR IN
NATURE...GIVEN THE VERTICAL SHEAR PROFILES IN PLACE. THE THREAT
FOR TORNADOES EXISTS IN VICINITY OF THE WARM FRONT THAT STRETCHES
FROM WEST CENTRAL MN ACROSS THE TWIN CITIES. MAY EVENTUALLY
CONGEAL INTO MORE OF A WIND EVENT IN WI COUNTIES AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES.

PRECIP ENDS FROM WEST TO EAST OVERNIGHT...WITH A COOL AND DRY DAY
EXPECTED WEDNESDAY. HIGHS WILL TOP OUT IN THE LOW TO MID 70S UNDER
MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND NORTHERLY WINDS.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 321 PM CDT TUE AUG 6 2013

STUBBORN UPPER LOW ALONG THE BORDER OF NORTHERN MANITOBA AND
NORTHWEST ONTARIO WILL DRIFT SOUTHEAST. ASSOCIATED TROUGH WILL
SWING AROUND ON THURSDAY AND BRING A CHANCE OF STORMS...ENDING
THURSDAY NIGHT. LOW LOOKS TO FINALLY BE ON THE MOVE THURSDAY NIGHT
WITH SOME RIDGING FOR FRIDAY...BUT DEEP UPPER TROUGH OVER THE
EASTERN HALF OF CANADA WILL REMAIN...WITH ANOTHER COUPLE OF STRONG
SHORT WAVES ROTATING DOWN ITS WESTERN SIDE SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY. HOWEVER...THE WEEKEND MAY TURN OUT TO BE DRY IF THE UPPER TROUGH
STAYS A LITTLE FARTHER NORTH. THERE ARE A COUPLE SIGNS OF THIS IN
THE DETERMINISTIC GFS AND ECMWF...AND IF THAT OCCURS..MN/WI WOULD
BE BETWEEN UPPER LOW AND NORTHERN ROCKIES RIDGING...WITH MAYBE
SOME WEAK SHORT WAVES COMING OUT OF THE WNW. EITHER WAY POPS OF
20-30 PERCENT SHOULD BE FINE. NW UPPER FLOW IS SUCH THAT TEMPS
LOOK TO REMAIN A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1250 PM CDT TUE AUG 6 2013

THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME RATHER WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE

01Z. HAVE INCLUDED TEMPOS WITH MVFR CONDITIONS...AND WILL WATCH
CLOSELY THROUGH THE PRIME TIME TO AMEND AS NEEDED FOR STRONGER
STORMS THAT POTENTIALLY PRODUCE HAIL/WIND GUSTS.
OTHERWISE...SOUTH/SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL SHIFT TO THE WEST/NORTHWEST
WITH THE COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE WITH CLEARING SKIES FROM WEST TO EAST.
COULD SEE SOME FOG DEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT OVER WEST CENTRAL WI IF
SKIES CLEAR IN TIME.

EXPECT SHOWERS AND STORMS TO BE IN THE VICINITY OF KMSP BY
