Area forecast discussion, Aug 31, 2:09 PM CDT, 3 hours 44 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
209 PM CDT SAT AUG 31 2013

.SYNOPSIS...
ISSUED AT 210 PM CDT SAT AUG 31 2013

AS OF 1 PM TEMPERATURES WERE IN THE MID 80S ACROSS THE CWA...WITH
DEWPOINTS IN THE MID TO UPPER 60S. THIS WARM SECTOR WAS LOCATED
AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT THAT EXTENDED SOUTH SOUTHWEST FROM A SURFACE
LOW OVER THE RED RIVER VALLEY. THE SURFACE LOW WAS DEEPENING IN
RESPONSE TO 12HR 500MB HEIGHT FALLS OF 40-60M/12HRS DOWNSTREAM OF A
POTENT UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE LOCATED IN SOUTHEAST SASKATCHEWAN.

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 147 PM CDT SAT AUG 31 2013

HIRES MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH CONVECTIVE INITIATION
AROUND 19/20Z. AS OF 130PM ALREADY SEE A FEW ISOLATED CELLS ALONG
THE COLD FRONT IN GRAND FORKS CWA...AND THESE ARE LIKELY TO CONTINUE
TO DEVELOP AS THE AFTERNOON PROGRESSES. SPC MESOANALYSIS SHOWS
1500-2500 J/KG OF MLCAPE...WITH AROUND 40KTS OF EFFECTIVE SHEAR. THE
RAP FORECAST HAS THIS DEEP LAYER SHEAR INCREASING IN BOTH COVERAGE
AND MAGNITUDE AS THE JET MAX ON THE EQUATORWARD SIDE OF THE SHORTWAVE
MOVES ACROSS THE REGION THIS EVENING. THE TORNADO THREAT IN WESTERN
MN IS DIMINISHING AS THE LOW LEVEL FLOW IS NOT BACKING AS PREVIOUSLY
FORECAST BY THE NAM...AND LCLS ARE AROUND 2000M. SPC MESOANALYSIS
SHOWS 0-1 SRH OF ONLY 50M2/S2...WHICH WILL MAX OUT AT 100M2/S2.
THESE LOW VALUES SUPPORT THE DIMINISHED TORNADO THREAT UNLESS THE
STORMS HAVE A DEVIANT MOTION OR ARE ABLE TO MODIFY THEIR OWN
ENVIRONMENT. ALL 4 MEMBERS OF THE 12Z HOPWRF QUICKLY HAVE THE STORMS
GROWING UPSCALE INTO A LINE AND TRACK IT DOWN THE I94 CORRIDOR...WITH
TIME OF ARRIVAL AT THE WEST SIDE TWIN CITIES METRO AREA CENTERED
AROUND 01Z. FORECAST MODELS DECREASE THE MLCAPE AHEAD OF THIS LINE
AS IT MAKES ITS WAY INTO EASTERN MN AND WESTERN WI...SO SHOULD SEE
THE LINE WEAKEN AS IT PROGRESSES EAST SOUTHEASTWARD. THE MAIN THREAT
OF LARGE HAIL (2 IN OR GREATER) WILL BE IN WESTERN MN...WITH A
TRANSITION TO A WIND/HAIL THREAT FOR CENTRAL MN.

ON SUNDAY THE POST FRONTAL WINDS WILL INCREASE IN RESPONSE TO COLD
AIR ADVECTION AND DIABATIC HEATING. SHOULD SEE NNW WINDS NEAR 25MPH
BY LATE AFTERNOON...WITH INCREASING CLOUDS IN FAR EASTERN MN AND
WESTERN WI. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE CONSIDERABLY COOLER...ONLY
MANAGING THE 70S.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 147 PM CDT SAT AUG 31 2013

VERY QUIET WEATHER STILL LOOKS TO DOMINATE THE PERIOD... WITH DRY
NORTHWEST MID-UPPER FLOW REMAINING IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION. AT
THIS POINT... THE ONLY TIME FRAME THAT APPEARS TO HAVE ANY
POTENTIAL FOR PCPN IS LATE WEDNESDAY INTO EARLY THURSDAY WHEN A
SHORTWAVE DROPS INTO THE GREAT LAKES AND DRAGS A REINFORCING COLD
FRONT THROUGH THE AREA. THE GFS AND ECMWF HAVE HAD A TOUGH TIME
DEVELOPING MUCH IF ANY PCPN WITH THE BOUNDARY ACROSS OUR AREA
GIVEN THE LACK OF DECENT MOISTURE RETURN AHEAD OF IT... ALONG WITH
THE FACT THAT THE BEST QG FORCING IS OFF TO OUR NORTHEAST.
ALTHOUGH IT/S CERTAINLY POSSIBLE WE COULD WIND UP WITH SOME
SCATTERED PCPN AROUND THE WEDNESDAY NIGHT TIME FRAME... CHOSE TO
KEEP THINGS DRY AT THIS POINT RATHER THAN INCLUDE A SLIGHT CHANCE
POP. AFTER THAT POINT... THERE IS SOME DISAGREEMENT IN HOW QUICKLY
UPPER RIDGING WILL TRY TO WORK BACK INTO THE REGION AND WHETHER
WE/LL SEE A PERIOD OF SOME WARM ADVECTION RETURN FLOW PCPN ON
FRIDAY. WITH MUCH DEPENDING ON THE POTENTIAL FOR A WEAK SHORTWAVE
TO RIDE SOUTHEAST ALONG THE LINGERING BAROCLINIC ZONE... THERE IS
QUITE A BIT OF UNCERTAINTY BOTH WITH RESPECT TO TIMING AND WHETHER
THERE WILL EVEN BE SUFFICIENT MOISTURE/FORCING FOR PCPN. SO...
ONCE AGAIN DECIDED TO KEEP THE MENTION OF PCPN OUT OF THE FORECAST
RATHER THAN INCLUDING A LOW-END POP. THE NEXT FEATURE OF ANY
SIGNIFICANCE... WHEN THERE IS MORE OF A BONAFIDE PCPN CHANCE...
LOOKS LIKE IT SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL AFTER THE END OF THE CURRENT
FORECAST PERIOD... WHEN A DECENT UPPER WAVE AND SURFACE LOW LOOK
TO MOVE OUT OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS TOWARD THE AREA.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1244 PM CDT SAT AUG 31 2013
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION THIS EVENING AND BE THE
FOCUS FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE STORMS WILL BE THE
STRONGEST ACROSS WESTERN MN...BUT SHOULD WEAKEN AS THEY MOVE
EASTWARD. TRIED TO NARROW DOWN THE TIMING OF THE THUNDER BASED ON
HIRES MODELS. NORTHWEST WINDS WILL INCREASE BEHIND THE COLD
FRONT...AND GUST NEAR 20KTS BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

KMSP...
THE HIRES MODELS INDICATE THAT THE WINDOW FOR THUNDER IS FROM
00-04Z...BUT CHOSE TO NARROW THIS DOWN TO THE 1HR WINDOW OF
HIGHEST CONFIDENCE RATHER THAN USE 4HOURS OF THUNDER. HOWEVER BE
AWARE THAT THUNDER IS POSSIBLE OUTSIDE OF THE 1HR TEMPO. ONCE THE
SHRA/TSRA EXITS THE REGION EXPECT NNW WINDS GUSTING NEAR 20KTS ON
SUNDAY.

/OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/
MON...VFR. WINDS NNW AT 5-10KTS.
TUE...VFR. WINDS NNW AT 5-10KTS.
WEN...VFR. WINDS NW AT 5-10KTS.
