AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
1209 PM CST SAT FEB 8 2014

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 325 AM CST SAT FEB 8 2014

FORECAST CONCERN NEAR TERM IS THE LIGHT SNOW EVENT THAT WILL MOVE
ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN MN INTO THE AFTERNOON.

RADAR TRENDS NOT IMPRESSIVE ON THIS SYSTEM COMING ACROSS SOUTH
DAKOTA THIS MORNING.  WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWING SYSTEM IS RATHER
COMPACT AND LOOKS IMPRESSIVE WITH SOME DRYING NOTED BEHIND THE
VORTICITY MAXIMA.  APPEARS TO BE MOISTURE STARVED BUT WILL BE ABLE TO
GENERATE A GOOD BURST OF SNOW AS IT MOVES OVER IOWA AND INGESTS A
BIT MORE MOISTURE.  SHOULD STILL SEE AN INCH OR TWO OF LIGHT SNOW
OVER FAR SOUTHERN MINNESOTA AS IT MOVES THROUGH.  MODEL TRENDS
CONTINUE TO DROP ANY MOISTURE MAINLY ACROSS THE SOUTHERN METRO AND
SOUTH...INTO A SMALL AREA OF WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN.  WILL HOLD
HIGHER POPS MAINLY SOUTH OF THE METRO.  EVEN IF IT DID SNOW...IT
WOULD BE A DUSTING AT BEST ON THIS NORTHERN PERIPHERY.

SYSTEM EXITS BY THIS EVENING AND SHOULD BEGIN TO CLEAR FROM
NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST DURING THE NIGHT.  COLDER AIR WILL MOVE
SOUTHEAST OVER THE AREA AS ANOTHER 1040MB CANADIAN HIGH MOVES INTO
THE REGION. WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE SOME TEENS BELOW ZERO IN THE
NORTHWEST CWA...WITH SINGLE DIGITS BELOW ZERO TO THE EAST. WIND
CHILLS MAY BECOME AN ISSUE MAINLY AFTER MIDNIGHT AND IS DEPENDENT ON
CLEARING TREND. APPEARS ALL THAT WOULD BE NEEDED WOULD BE AN
ADVISORY IF TEMPERATURES/WINDS HOLD OUT.  WE WILL LEAVE THIS FOR THE
DAY SHIFT TO DELINEATE AREAL COVERAGE.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 325 AM CST SAT FEB 8 2014

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING A FRESH SURGE OF ARCTIC AIR DOWN SUNDAY
WITH THE HIGH SETTLING OVERHEAD BY LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON.
TEMPERATURES WILL RUN AROUND 30 DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE SUNDAY NIGHT
THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT...ALTHOUGH SOME MODERATION MAY OCCUR LATE
MONDAY NIGHT ACROSS WESTERN MINNESOTA AS THE BEGINNINGS OF WAA
EMERGE FROM THE PLAINS. SHOULD SEE MANY LOCATIONS DROP INTO THE
20S BELOW ZERO ACROSS CENTRAL MINNESOTA AND WESTERN WISCONSIN
SUNDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT. EVEN EARLY THIS MORNING RICE LAKE IS 20
BELOW. THE MSP HEAT ISLAND WILL BE ENHANCED DUE TO LACK OF WIND
DURING THIS PERIOD SO IT SHOULD BE 5 TO 10 DEGREES WARMER THERE.
WINDS GENERALLY LESS THAN 5 KTS SHOULD KEEP WIND CHILLS AT
REASONABLE LEVELS...BUT MAY STILL NEED A WIND CHILL ADVISORY SINCE
IT WON/T TAKE MUCH TO GET HAZARDOUS WIND CHILLS WITH SUCH COLD
TEMPS.

A BENIGN AND VERY COLD FIRST HALF OF THE LONG TERM WILL GIVE WAY
TO A BIT MORE ACTIVE AND MILDER SECOND HALF. MODEL CONSISTENCY FOR
MIDWEEK AND BEYOND IS NOT TOO GOOD SO CONFIDENCE WITH POPS AND
TEMPS IS RATHER LOW. SEVERAL SYSTEMS WILL TRAVERSE THE NORTHERN
CONUS DURING THIS TIME...EACH BRINGING A LITTLE SURGE OF MILDER
AIR...SOME SNOW...FOLLOWED BY A BRIEF COOLING TREND. THE
TEMPERATURE SWINGS SHOULD NOT BE TOO DRASTIC WITH THE COLDEST AIR
REMAINING BOTTLED UP IN CANADA...BUT SOME INDICATIONS PER ECMWF
SHOW A STRONGER SYSTEM DEVELOPING SOMEWHERE OVER THE MIDWEST NEXT
WEEKEND AS A TROUGH DIGS INTO THE ROCKIES. THE GFS IS ABOUT 180
DEGREES OUT OF PHASE SO LEANED TOWARD A GENERAL COMPROMISE OF
SCHC POPS AND SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN AVERAGE TEMPS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1143 AM CST SAT FEB 8 2014

WITH THE LIGHT SNOW MAINLY REMAINING SOUTH OF THE TAF SITES...THE
WEATHER IMPACTS TO AVIATION SHOULDN'T BE SIGNIFICANT. THERE ARE
ACTUALLY A COUPLE AREAS OF LOWER CEILINGS. ONE AREA OF STRATUS IS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE SNOW FALLING ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND
SOUTHEAST MN AND THE OTHER HAS FORMED NORTH OF THE SNOW IN AN AREA
OF LIGHT WINDS - SO THE CLOUDS ARE NEARLY STATIONARY. THIS WILL BE
THE CHALLENGE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...TO DETERMINE HOW THESE
2500-3500 FT CEILINGS WILL MOVE WITH TIME. THEY SHOULD BE NEARLY
STATIONARY FOR AT LEAST A FEW HOURS AND THEN GRADUALLY MOVE
SOUTHEAST THIS EVENING.

KMSP...

4-7 MILE VISIBILITY WILL BE LIKELY EARLY THIS AFTERNOON DUE TO
A COMBINATION OF HAZE AND LIGHT SNOW. THE REASON FOR THE HAZE IS
THE LIGHT SURFACE/LOW LEVEL WINDS OUT THERE NOW. IT'S POSSIBLE WE
ARE BEING A LITTLE TOO OPTIMISTIC WITH THE CLEARING OF THE LOWER
VISIBILITY /AND CEILINGS/ WITH THE 18Z TAF ISSUANCE. CONDITIONS
MIGHT NOT CLEAR UNTIL A DRIER NW FLOW DEVELOPS TONIGHT. REGARDLESS
ONLY TRACE SNOW AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TODAY.

/OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/

SUN NIGHT...VFR. WINDS NW AT 10KTS.
MON...VFR. WINDS W AT 5KTS.
TUE...VFR. MVFR POSSIBLE. WINDS S-SW 10-20KTS.
