.UPDATE...FOR 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 359 PM CDT WED SEP 3 2014

COMPLICATED FCST OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS DUE TO THE WAKE LEFT
BEHIND CONVECTION WHICH HAD DEVELOPED EARLIER TDA AND ON THRU THIS
AFTN. AS AN UPR LVL SHORTWAVE TROF CONTINUES TO SLOWLY SHIFT EWD
ALONG THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER TNGT THRU TMRW...IT WILL SHOVE A
LOW PRES CENTER AHEAD OF IT ACRS THE DAKOTAS AND THRU NRN MN. THE
WMFNT OF THIS SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY THRU SWRN MN AS TEMPS HAVE HIT
THE LWR 80S WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE LWR 70S...WHILE THE REST OF THE
WFO MPX CWFA LANGUISHES WITH TEMPS IN THE MID 60S TO LWR 70S AND
DEWPOINTS IN THE LWR-MID 60S. WINDS HAVE REMAINED MAINLY SE AHEAD
OF THE FRONT OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION...HELPING FEED THE CONVERGENCE
IN ADVANCE OF THE WMFNT. THE STRONG FEED OF MOISTURE HAS HELPED
AID EFFICIENT PRECIPITATION GENERATION TDA...WITH SOME REPORTS IN
EXCESS OF 2 INCHES TDA. VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY IS SHOWING SOME
CLEARING OUT IN SWRN MN...WHICH THE THINKING IS THAT IF ENOUGH
CLEARING CAN OCCUR TO RELOAD THE ATMOS IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN
APPROACHING SHORTWAVE TROUGH ALOFT...AT WHICH TIME ANY CAPPING
SHOULD BE BROKEN...THEN ADDITIONAL SHWRS/TSTMS LOOK TO DEVELOP
OVER WRN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA THEN SHIFT EWD. MULTIPLE INSTABILITY
PARAMETERS STILL INDICATE THAT OVER SWRN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA
CONTAINS THE HIGHEST HELICITIES...GREATEST INSTABILITY...AND
MODEST LAPSE RATES TO HINT THAT WEAK MIDLVL DISTURBANCES EVIDENT
IN WV IMAGERY COMBINED WITH SEVERAL SFC OUTFLOWS WILL COMBINE TO
RESTART CONVECTION THIS EVENING. BEST TIMING HAS ACTIVITY STARTING
IN W-CENTRAL MN THEN DRIVING ESE THROUGH THE CWFA DURING THE
EVENING HRS. ONCE CONVECTION ENDS...THEN SLY WINDS BRINGING IN
WARMER AIR AND HIGHER DEWPOINTS WILL BE CONDUCIVE TO LOW STRATUS
AND POSSIBLY FOG DEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT...MAINLY DURING THE WARM
SECTOR PORTION OF THIS LOW PRES SYSTEM. GOING INTO THU...THE CDFNT
WILL SLOWLY MARCH ACRS MN AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. THIS WILL LEAD TO
SOME ISOLD- SCATTERED SHWRS/TSTMS DURING THE DAY WITH THE
STRONGEST OF SAID STORMS TO OCCUR IN THE MORNING. OVERALL TIMING
WITH LACK OF INSOLATION SHOULD LIMIT STORM STRENGTH BUT DEPENDING
ON WHERE ANY LOW LEVEL JETTING CAN BE ESTABLISHED WOULD ALLOW FOR
ADDITIONAL STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS EARLY ON THURSDAY. WITH THE
PROGRESSION OF THE CDFNT...WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM S TO
W...DEWPOINTS WILL DROP OFF AND SKIES WILL STEADILY CLEAR
OUT...HELPING END THE PRECIPITATION FROM W TO E.

AS FOR TEMPERATURES...TEMPS LOOK TO CONTINUE RISING THRU LATE THIS
AFTN INTO THE EARLY EVE WITH THE PROGRESSION OF THE WMFNT. WHERE
TEMPS HAVE HIT THEIR HIGHS THIS AFTN...THOSE LOCATIONS WILL NOT
DROP OFF MUCH TO THE OVERNIGHT LOWS. WHERE TEMPS ARE STILL
RISING...THOSE LOCATIONS WILL REMAIN FAIRLY STEADY GOING INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. MOST LOCATIONS WILL SETTLE OUT IN THE UPR 60S TO
LWR 70S. AHEAD OF THE CDFNT TMRW...TEMPS WILL SOAR INTO MID-UPR
80S IN WRN WI WITH A LARGE RANGE OF MID 70S TO MID 80S IN MN. WITH
THE DEWPOINTS STILL IN THE 70S IN WRN WI...HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL
HIT THE LOW-MID 90S IN FAR ERN MN INTO WRN WI.

.LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 359 PM CDT WED SEP 3 2014

LONG TERM PERIOD STARTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THE SHORT TERM
PERIOD ENDS WITH...WHEN WILL THE STRONG CAP BE BROKEN AHEAD OF
THE COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE AREA. BY 7 PM THURSDAY /START OF
THE LONG TERM/...THE COLD FRONT WILL ALREADY BE NEAR A ROCHESTER
TO LADYSMITH LINE...SO THE WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY FOR PRECIP
THURSDAY EVENING WILL BE NARROW. THE HIRES CAMS...ALONG WITH THE
ECMWF SHOW ACTIVITY ALONG THE FRONT DEVELOPING WHEN SAID FRONT IS
EAST OF THE MPX CWA. HOWEVER...THE 12Z NAM HAD A SLIGHTLY SLOWER
FRONTAL PROGRESSION...ALLOWING FOR IT TO DEVELOP ACTIVITY EAST OF
AN ALBERT LEA TO RICE LAKE LINE. AS A RESULT...MAINTAINED SOME
CHANCE POPS BETWEEN 00Z AND 6Z FRIDAY IN THE FAR ERN CWA...THOUGH
THE GREATEST THREAT FOR CONVECTION STILL LOOKS TO BE EAST OF THE
MPX AREA. WHEREVER STORMS FORM...THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY WOULD
SUGGEST WE WILL STILL HAVE A SEVERE THREAT WITH WHATEVER DEVELOPS.

STILL LOOKS LIKE WE GET A GOOD PUSH OF COOL/DRY AIR BEHIND THE
FRONT...WITH HIGHS BY FRIDAY ONLY TOPPING IN THE 60S AS H85 TEMPS
CRASH FROM ABOUT 20C ON THURSDAY /IN WRN WI/ TO BETWEEN 5C AND 10C
FRIDAY. THE HIGH PRESSURE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS COOLER AIR WILL
WANDER INTO THE MID MS VALLEY ON SATURDAY...WITH WEST WINDS AND
WEAK WAA SETTING UP DURING THE DAY ON SATURDAY...WHICH WILL ALLOW
HIGHS BY SUNDAY TO BE ABOUT 10 DEGREES WARMER THAN WHAT WE WILL
SEE FRIDAY.

WE STILL LOOK TO TURN MORE ACTIVE FOR THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK
AS A DEEP TROUGH DIGS ACROSS SRN CANADA...WHICH WILL SEND
ANOTHER POWERFUL FALL FRONT ACROSS THE UPPER MS VALLEY ON
WEDNESDAY. WAA WILL START OUT IN WRN MN SUNDAY NIGHT...WHICH IS
WHEN POPS START TO APPEAR. WE WILL REMAIN IN A MOIST SRLY FLOW
MONDAY/TUESDAY...WITH CHANCES FOR WAA PRECIP CONTINUING...UNTIL
POTENTIAL COLD FRONT PRECIP WORKS THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY. SEVERE THREAT OVER THESE DAYS DOES NOT LOOK OVERLY
IMPRESSIVE...AS THE FRONT MOVING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT WILL GET
DRIVEN CLEAR DOWN TO THE GULF COAST OVER THE WEEKEND. AS A
RESULT...WE DO NOT LOOK TO HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO GET GULF MOISTURE
BACK UP TO MN BEFORE THE COLD FRONT CLEARS...WITH THE GREATEST
INSTABILITY REMAINING TO OUR SOUTH. THROUGH THE WHOLE
PERIOD...STILL HAVE MAINLY CHANCE POPS AS THERE IS ENOUGH SPREAD
IN TIMING/LOCATION OF PRECIP IN THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS TO INSERT
ENOUGH UNCERTAINTY INTO THE FORECAST TO KEEP THE POPS IN THE
CHANCE CATEGORY.

BEHIND THIS COLD FRONT...THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOW A TRULY FALL
AIRMASS MOVING INTO THE AREA FOR THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...WITH
H85 TEMPS FALLING BELOW ZERO C IN THE WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM. BY
THURSDAY OF NEXT WEEK...THE ECMWF ONLY HAS HIGH IN THE 50S WITH
STRONG WNW WINDS...A SIGN THE SEASONS ARE ABOUT TO START CHANGING.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 559 PM CDT WED SEP 3 2014

FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON THURSDAY
AFTERNOON/EVE...ALONG WITH A SHIFT TO GUSTY WEST/NORTHWEST WINDS.

KMSP...
SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL AFFECT KMSP FOR THE FIRST SEVERAL HOURS OF
THE TAF PERIOD...WITH THE WINDOW FOR TS MAINLY BETWEEN 01Z AND
05Z. AFTER THAT...CIGS DECLINE TO AOB 1000FT FOR THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS...WITH MVFR BR EXPECTED AS WELL. MVFR CIGS PREVAIL THURSDAY
MORNING...WITH IMPROVEMENT TO VFR LIKELY NOT OCCURING UNTIL AFTER
18Z. SOUTH/SOUTHEAST WINDS TONIGHT VEER TO SOUTHWEST FOR THURSDAY
