AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
559 AM CDT WED MAY 29 2013

.UPDATE...

12Z AVIATION DISCUSSION ADDED BELOW.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 400 AM CDT WED MAY 29 2013

A VERY VOLATILE WATER VAPOR IMAGE AND H5 PATTERN IS IN PLACE THIS
MORNING AS A NEGATIVELY TILTED TROUGH SITS FROM NEAR YELLOW STONE
SOUTHEAST TO THE BIG BEND REGION OF TEXAS. CONVECTION ACROSS THE
PLAINS YESTERDAY AND OVERNIGHT HAS LEFT MULTIPLE SHORT WAVES/MCVS
LITTERED ACROSS NATIONS MIDSECTION. DURING THE DAY...THE MAIN TROUGH
WILL MIGRATE E/NE ACROSS THE PLAINS...AND BY THE END OF THE PERIOD
THE TROUGH WILL STRETCH FROM A DEVELOPING CLOSED LOW OVER THE BLACK
HILLS SOUTHEAST TOWARD NE TEXAS.

AT 330 AM...THE WARM WAS JUST PASSING THROUGH FORT DODGE IN IOWA AND
HAS ACTUALLY BEGUN TO PICK UP SOME MOMENTUM TOWARD THE NORTH IN THE
LAST FEW HOURS. BASED ON THE RAP...THIS BOUNDARY WILL BE NEAR I-90
AT 15Z...BY 18Z IT SHOULD BE WORKING ITS WAY THROUGH THE TWIN CITIES
BEFORE BECOMING STATIONARY AT 00Z FROM A SFC LOW OVER NORTH CENTRAL
NEB...NORTHEAST THROUGH ABERDEEN AND UP TOWARD LAKE OF THE WOODS.

FOR THIS FORECAST...FAVORED A NAM/ECMWF BLEND FOR HANDLING OF LARGE
SCALE FEATURES SUCH AS SHORTWAVES AND THE LLJ...WHILE A BLEND OF THE
HI-RES CAMS WERE USED TO TRY AND ADD DETAIL TO THE POP FORECAST.
BASED ON THAT...WHAT FOLLOWS IS THE CURRENT THINKING IS OF 330 AM
FOR WHAT WILL HAPPEN TODAY.

FOR THE WARM FRONT COMING NORTH...IS LOOKING LIKE CONVECTIVE
ACTIVITY WILL BE SCATTERED IN NATURE...AS H85 LLJ IS ACTUALLY
SOMEWHAT DIFFLUENT OVER MN...WITH ONE BRANCH SPLITTING OF FROM IOWA
INTO SODAK...WITH THE REST OF THE JET FANNING OUT TOWARD THE NE
ACROSS MN INTO WI. THE HRRR AND OTHER CAMS ALONG WITH THE RAP IS
SHOWING A BATCH OF ELEVATED SHOWERS AND STORMS DEVELOPING EARLY THIS
MORNING NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY AND HEADING TOWARD SE MN BY THE EARLY
AFTERNOON. THIS SEEMS TO BE IN RESPONSE TO A SHORTWAVE NOTED ON
WATER VAPOR CURRENTLY WEST OF OMAHA THAT THE RAP DRAGS NE TOWARD SE
MN THROUGH THE MORNING. THE HRRR IS BY FAR THE MOST AGGRESSIVE WITH
THIS CONVECTION AT THE MOMENT...BUT OUTSIDE OF SOME POTENTIAL FOR
HAIL...THE SEVERE THREAT LOOKS LIMITED WITH THIS BATCH OF
CONVECTION...IF IT DOES FORM.

FOR THE SEVERE THREAT...ATTENTION REALLY TURNS TO ERN SODAK/WRN MN
THIS AFTERNOON. WITH THE NAM/ECMWF SHOWING THE LLJ ANGLING BACK NW
INTO SODAK IN RESPONSE TO HEIGHT FALLS ALOFT...THIS SHOULD LEAD TO
THE INITIATION OF MORE SURFACE BASED CONVECTION SOMEWHERE NEAR THE
RETREATING WARM FRONT IN ERN SODAK/WRN MN. FORECAST SOUNDINGS FROM
THE RAP/NAM SHOW ATMO REMAINING CAPPED ACROSS WRN MN UNTIL ABOUT
21Z...AT WHICH POINT YOU ARE DEALING WITH AROUND 1500 J/KG OF SBCAPE
IN A WEAKLY CAPPED...STRONGLY SHEARED /ESPECIALLY IN THE LOWEST 3
KM/ ENVIRONMENT. NMM/ARW BASED CAMS SHOW LITTLE CONVECTION
DEVELOPING THROUGH 21Z...BUT QUICKLY GENERATE CONVECTION AFTER
21Z...SO WAITED TO INTRODUCE ANY LIKELY POPS UNTIL 21Z. SEEING TWO
CAMPS IN THE CAMS FOR HOW CONVECTION DEVELOPS THIS AFTERNOON...WITH
THE ARW AND NSSL-WRF GENERATING STORMS OVER WRN MN...WHILE THE NMM
AND SPCWRF GENERATE CONVECTION OVER ERN SODAK. THIS IDEA FOR
ACTIVITY STARTING OUT WEST THIS AFTERNOON IS FURTHER SUPPORTED BY
THE SPC SSEO...WHICH SHOWS NEIGHBORHOOD PROBABILITIES FOR UPDRAFT
HELICITY AND UPDRAFT STRENGTH BEING MAXIMIZED OVER ERN SODAK INTO
WRN MN...WITH VERY LITTLE ACTIVITY BEING NOTED FROM SRN INTO ERN MN
AND WRN WI THIS AFTERNOON. GIVEN DEGREE OF LOW LEVEL SHEAR...THERE
WILL BE THE THREAT FOR TORNADIC ACTIVITY WHILE THE STORMS AREA
DISCRETE...BUT DO EXPECT STORMS THIS AFTERNOON TO GROW
UPSCALE...WITH A HAIL/WIND THREAT CONTINUING INTO THE NIGHT.

FOR TONIGHT...WHAT HAPPENS WITH CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON WILL PLAY
A LARGE ROLE IN WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT. WITHIN THE CAMS...WE ARE AGAIN
LOOKING AT TWO CAMPS. THE NMM AND SPCWRF DO NOT BRING THE DAKOTA
CONVECTION INTO MN...WHILE SENDING ANOTHER MCS RACING ACROSS
IOWA...KEEPING MUCH OF THE MPX CWA DRY. THE ARW AND NSSL-WRF CONGEAL
THE AFTERNOON CELLS IN THE WEST INTO A LINE...AND TRACK THAT COMPLEX
OF STORMS EAST ACROSS THE STATE THROUGH THE NIGHT. GIVEN EXPECTED
EVOLUTION OF THE LLJ FROM THE ECMWF/NAM...FAVOR THE ARW/NSSL-WRF
CAMP...WITH A COMPLEX OF STORMS WORKING EAST ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH
THE NIGHT...WITH CONVECTIVE COVERAGE AND INTENSITY SLOWLY
DIMINISHING AFTER 6Z.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 400 AM CDT WED MAY 29 2013

CUTOFF UPPER CIRCULATION DEVELOPS AND LINGERS ACROSS THE HIGH
PLAINS AND WESTERN GREAT LAKES INTO THE COMING WEEKEND.  AS THE
UPPER LOW TAKES FORM OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS THROUGH THURSDAY...
A BELT OF FASTER WESTERLY FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH A SHORT WAVE
TROUGH WILL MOVE EAST FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS TO THE MIDWEST.
CLOUDS WILL REMAIN ABUNDANT OVER THE REGION...AND WILL LIMIT
SIGNIFICANT DESTABILIZATION. HOWEVER...LARGE SCALE ASCENT FROM
THE INCOMING SHORT WAVE AND STEEPENING MID LEVEL LAPSE WILL LIKELY
SUPPORT SOME STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
MINNESOTA THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND THURSDAY NIGHT. THE SURFACE LOW
WILL DEEPEN AND OCCLUDE IN EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA INTO THURSDAY
NIGHT...AND WILL HELP PUSH THE COLD FRONT EAST INTO CENTRAL
MINNESOTA. WE SHOULD SEE HIGH POPS INTO THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS
THIS SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH...AND MAINLY OVER EASTERN AREAS INTO
THURSDAY NIGHT AHEAD OF COLD FRONT. HAIL AND STRONG WINDS WILL BE
THE MAIN THREATS...ALONG WITH HEAVY RAIN. WILL TRAIL POPS OFF TO
THE WEST DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE 00Z ECMWF IS MOST CONSISTENT
WITH DRIVING A DRY SLOT NORTHEAST OVER THE AREA INTO
FRIDAY...LIMITING SIGNIFICANT CONVECTION FURTHER EAST IN THE
REMNANT WARM SECTOR INTO WESTERN WISCONSIN. THIS WILL LIMIT SEVERE
WEATHER DEVELOPMENT ON FRIDAY...WITH THE DAY 3 OUTLOOK MAINLY
SOUTHEAST OF OUR CWA.

SYSTEM SLOW TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA...WITH COLD AIR CIRCULATING
OVER THE REGION WELL INTO THE WEEKEND. EXPECTING DRIER CONDITIONS
DEVELOPING SATURDAY NIGHT AND LINGERING INTO MONDAY. TEMPERATURES
WILL RANGE SOME 5 TO 10 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z THURSDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 559 AM CDT WED MAY 29 2013

WARM FRONT ACROSS CENTRAL IOWA THIS MORNING WILL HEAD NORTH TODAY.
DESPITE CONVECTIVE CLOUD DEBRIS COMING OVERHEAD THIS
MORNING...ENOUGH BREAKS HAVE DEVELOPED WEST OF THE RETREATING
STRATUS DECK OVER ERN MN/WRN WI TO GET SOME DENSE FOG GOING ACROSS
MN. GIVEN THE CIRRUS BLOCKING THE SUN...THIS MAY SLOW THE
IMPROVEMENTS SOME NOTED IN THE STC/AXN/RWF TAFS. RAP/NAM
INDICATING POTENTIAL FOR THIS FOG TO LIFT INTO A STRATUS LAYER
THIS MORNING THAT WILL THEN TRACK NORTH WITH THE WARM FRONT...SO
WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR THAT IN THE MORNING. BEHIND THE WARM
FRONT...MOIST/UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL BE IN PLACE...THOUGH NAM/RAP
SOUNDINGS SHOW ATMO REMAINING CAPPED UNTIL 20Z...SO HELD OFF ON
ANY TS MENTION UNTIL AFTER THEN. BECAUSE OF THIS CAP...CURRENT
THINKING IS THE HRRR IS TOO AGGRESSIVE WITH TSRA GENERATION
BETWEEN 15Z AND 20Z. FOR THE THUNDER...FOLLOWED THE TREND OF THE
ARW FOR TIMING THUNDER THROUGH. EXPECT STORMS TO INITIATE IN WRN
MN THIS AFTERNOON...AND WORK EAST DURING THE EVENING. OUTSIDE OF
THAT...WILL HAVE TO WATCH A COUPLE OF POTENTIAL SHOWER AREAS THIS
MORNING. FIRST IS THUNDERSTORMS CURRENTLY WEST OF SIOUX FALLS.
MOST GUIDANCE HAS KEPT THIS AREA WEST OF TERMINALS...BUT THEY
COULD WORK INTO THE AXN AREA LATER THIS MORNING...SO HAVE A VCSH
MENTION THERE. OTHER AREA OF SHOWERS FOR THIS MORNING IS JUST
GETTING GOING EAST OF OMAHA...AND WILL TRACK NORTHEAST TOWARD
EAU...WHERE A VCSH WAS MENTIONED AROUND 18Z.

KMSP...AFTER VALLEY FOG AND BR BURNS OFF THIS MORNING...WILL HAVE
TO SEE IF SOME SUB 017 STRATUS WORKS UP WITH THE WARM FRONT.
MODERATE CONFIDENCE AT BEST ON THIS HAPPENING...BUT WITH LAMP
GUIDANCE SHOWING MVFR CIGS THROUGH 18Z...DECIDED TO KEEP IT. LOTS
OF UNCERTAINTY WITH THUNDER POTENTIAL TODAY. HRRR RUNS CONTINUE TO
BE AGGRESSIVE WITH TSRA MOVING INTO THE FIELD AS EARLY AS 19Z...BUT
RAP SOUNDINGS CONTINUE TO BE CAPPED THROUGH ABOUT 21Z...SO WILL
CONTINUE TO PLAY UP THE IDEA THAT STORMS INITIATE AROUND 20Z OVER
WRN MN...AND PUSH INTO THE TWIN CITIES AREA AFTER 00Z. THOUGH
GIVEN DEGREE OF INSTABILITY...IF SOMETHING WERE TO BREAK THROUGH
THE CAP...THINGS WOULD GO QUICKLY.

/OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/
THU...MVFR OR LOWER CIGS LIKELY. SHRA/TSRA LIKELY. WINDS S 15-20
      KTS.
FRI...MVFR OR LOWER CIGS LIKELY. CHANCE SHRA/TSRA. WINDS SW 10-15
      KTS.
SAT...MVFR CIGS POSSIBLE. CHANCE SHRA/TSRA. WINDS WNW 5-10 KTS.
