AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
531 PM CST SAT JAN 19 2013

.DISCUSSION...

FORECAST CONCERNS FOR THE 7 DAY PERIOD AHEAD ARE MAINLY CONFINED
TO THE NEXT 48 HOURS. THE ARCTIC BOUNDARY IS PASSING THROUGH THE
CWA AS FORECAST THIS AFTERNOON. SUSTAINED WINDS NEAR 30 MPH WITH
GUSTS REACHING 55 MPH HAVE BEEN COMMON IN THE WAKE OF THE FRONT.
THE BOUNDARY IS MOVING THROUGH THE TWIN CITIES AT THIS TIME. THE
FRONT WILL BE PAST KEAU TO THE IA BORDER BY 5 PM. THE WIND
ADVISORY WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT CWA-WIDE THROUGH 9 PM. SOME FLURRY
ACTIVITY CAN NOT BE RULED OUT AS WELL IN THE CLOUD STREETS THAT
STRETCH BACK TO THE CANADIAN BORDER. OF GREATER CONCERN...WE
DEFINITELY HAVE DRIFTING SNOW ACROSS THE NW CWA AROUND KAXN BASED
ON MULTIPLE WEB CAMS. THE VISIBILITY IS NOT TOO BAD...BUT IT DOES
BECOME MUCH WORSE NW OF OUR CWA TOWARDS FERGUS FALLS AND FARGO.
HAVE ADDED BLOWING SNOW TO THE GRIDS FOR THE LATE AFTERNOON/
EVENING HOURS TO AREAS WEST OF A KLXL TO KOVL LINE ALONG WITH
ISSUING AN SPS.

AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES AND TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO
PLUMMET...WIND CHILL VALUES BECOME CRITICAL ACROSS CENTRAL MN AND
PARTS OF WEST CENTRAL WI. THE CURRENT WIND CHILL ADVISORIES LOOK
OKAY WITH THE ONE ACROSS CENTRAL MN BEGINNING AFTER 9 PM AND IN
WEST CENTRAL WI AFTER MIDNIGHT. AT THIS POINT...THE WIND CHILL
VALUES OF 25 BELOW ARE MOST WIDESPREAD ACROSS CENTRAL MN
OVERNIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING.

A DISTURBANCE MOVING SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE PLAINS ON SUNDAY WILL
BRING A PERIOD OF SNOW THAT WILL BRUSH WEST CENTRAL THROUGH SOUTH
CENTRAL MN. THE MODELS HAVE BEEN PRETTY CONSISTENT WITH THIS
FEATURE FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS ALTHOUGH A SLIGHT SOUTHWEST DRIFT
HAS OCCURRED WITH TIME. THE SREF SHOWS 18 OF 21 MEMBERS MEASURING
ALONG AND SOUTH THE MN RIVER VALLEY. AS A RESULT...RAISED POPS IN
THESE AREAS TO 60-80 PERCENT BASED ON THE ABOVE ALONG WITH THE MID
LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS AND THE LOW CONDENSATION PRESSURE DEFICITS/
ADIABATIC OMEGA MOVING THROUGH ON THE 280K SURFACE. CARIBOU SNOW
TECHNIQUE PRETTY CONSISTENT AS WELL BETWEEN THE NAM/GFS AND SREF
ON SNOW AMOUNTS BEING AROUND A HALF INCH...ALTHOUGH THE GRIDS
REFLECT FROM A HALF INCH TO NEARLY AN INCH. ITS INTERESTING TO NOTE
THAT THE SATURATED COLUMN ACROSS THE SW CWA ON SUNDAY IS AT OR
BELOW -18 DEG C. THIS WOULD BE MORE PLATES AND COLUMNS WITH THE
DENDRITIC DEVELOPMENT.

THE HEART OF THE ARCTIC AIR WILL BE FROM SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY. MORE WIND CHILL PRODUCTS WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED SUNDAY
NIGHT AND MONDAY WITH CURRENT GRIDDED WIND CHILL VALUES IN THE 25
BELOW TO 45 BELOW ZERO RANGE. OVERNIGHT LOWS SUNDAY NIGHT AND
MONDAY NIGHT PRETTY MUCH BETWEEN 10 BELOW AND 20 BELOW ZERO ACROSS
THE CWA. THE HIGHS ON MONDAY ARE STILL PROGGED BELOW ZERO ACROSS
THE ENTIRE CWA.

THERE WILL BE SLOW MODERATION TO THE TEMPERATURES IN THE MID WEEK
PERIOD. THERE ALSO REMAINS A CHANCE OF LIGHT SNOW FROM THURSDAY
INTO FRIDAY AS A PACIFIC SHORT WAVE MOVES THROUGH. ONE OF THE
PROBLEMS SEEN WITH THIS SYSTEM IS THAT THE MODELS ARE TRYING TO
SHOW BOTH NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN STREAM ENERGY. WE COULD END UP
WITH A SPLIT PRECIPITATION PATTERN ACROSS THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY REGION. HENCE...CHANCE POPS CONTINUE WITH LOW CONFIDENCE ON
THE OUTCOME. IT WILL LIKELY TURN COLD AGAIN HEADING INTO NEXT
WEEKEND IN THE WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM WITH BELOW ZERO TEMPERATURES
FOR SATURDAY MORNING.

&&

.AVIATION.../00Z TAF ISSUANCE/

SHORT TERM CONCERNS DEAL WITH MVFR CIGS WITH -SHSN...AND
DIMINISHING WINDS. AFT 15Z/20...EXPECT MORE -SHSN ALONG WITH MVFR
CIGS POSSIBLE BY THE AFTN.

VERY STRONG WINDS BEHIND AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT HAS SLOWED A BIT IN
THE LAST HR...BUT CONTINUED TO GUST OVER 30 KTS...WITH 40 TO 45
KTS SE OF MSP. BASED ON UPSTREAM CONDS...ALONG WITH THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT DIMINISHING...WILL START WITH SUSTAINED WINDS OF 22-26
KTS...WITH GUSTS OF 32 TO 38 KTS UNTIL 3-4Z...WITH WINDS LOWERING
TO 18-22 KTS...AND GUSTS TO ARND 28-32 KTS. THE GUSTY WINDS WILL
LIKELY ABATE AFT 6-9Z...WITH MORE GUSTY WINDS DEVELOPING SUNDAY
AFTN...BUT NOT AS STRONG. SATELLITE IMAGERY AND SFC OBS ARE STILL
REPORTING SOME MVFR CIGS ACROSS THE FA...BUT LOOKING AT WEB
CAMS...THESE CIGS ARE MORE SCATTERED...SO AM LOOKING AT ONLY A
TEMPORARY PERIOD FOR A FEW HRS OF MVFR CIGS OF 1.5 TO 3.0K. VFR
CONDS WILL DEVELOP OVERNIGHT...AND PERSIST THRU 15-18Z...BEFORE
CIGS ONCE AGAIN LOWER TO NEAR MVFR CONDS.

KMSP...

GUSTY SFC WINDS WILL REMAIN VERY HIGH THRU 2-3Z OF ARND 32-36
KTS...SUSTAINED WINDS WILL LIKELY HOLD NEAR 22 TO 26 KTS...BUT
LOWER BY 3-4Z. THE GUSTY WINDS WILL LIKELY ABATE AFT 6Z...BUT
REFORM SUNDAY AFTN AHEAD OF ANOTHER FAST MOVING WX SYSTEM. WINDS
WILL REMAIN FROM THE NW/WNW THRU THE NEXT 24 TO 30 HRS. SOME MVFR
CIGS EARLY THIS EVENING WILL SCATTER OUT...WITH MORE CIGS
DEVELOPING TOWARD MORNING ARND 11K...THEN BEGIN TO LOWER TO LOW
END VFR BY 18Z.

/OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/

MON...MVFR CIGS POSSIBLE EARLY. WINDS NW 10 KTS.
TUE...VFR. WINDS W 5 KTS.
WED...VFR...POSSIBLY MVFR LATE WITH -SN. WINDS SW 5 KTS. ..JLT..
