AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
1051 AM CST MON FEB 10 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1043 AM CST MON FEB 10 2014

UPDATED TO INCLUDE 18Z AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 336 AM CST MON FEB 10 2014

CLEAR AND COLD IS THE STORY THIS MORNING AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE
STORY THROUGH TONIGHT BEFORE A WARMING TREND IN THE LONG TERM.
TEMPERATURES AT 3 AM THIS MORNING RANGE FROM ABOUT 8 BELOW TO 20
BELOW WITH ANOTHER 4 OR 5 HOURS OF COOLING LEFT. WINDS ARE LIGHT FOR
THE MOST PART WHICH HAS ALLOWED WIND CHILLS TO REMAIN IN THE
ADVISORY RANGE. THE SURFACE RIDGE WILL BUILD EASTWARD TODAY AND
SETTLE DIRECTLY OVERHEAD THIS EVENING. AFTER TEMPS RISE THIS
AFTERNOON TO BARELY ABOVE ZERO...THEY WILL PLUMMET THIS EVENING.
WINDS WILL BE AOB 5 KTS FROM THE SFC TO 2 OR 3 KFT SO HIGHLY
CONFIDENT IN AN IDEAL RADIATIONAL COOLING REGIME SETTING UP. THE
ENTIRE AREA WILL FALL INTO THE TEENS BELOW AGAIN...WITH 20S AND
POSSIBLY A FEW LOW 30S BELOW OVER WESTERN WISCONSIN WHERE THE CALM
WINDS WILL PERSIST THE LONGEST AND WHERE THE SNOW PACK IS DEEPEST.
ACROSS WESTERN MINNESOTA...A RETURN FLOW WILL SET UP ON THE BACKSIDE
OF THE HIGH AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH MILDER TEMPS GRADUALLY OVERTAKING
THE AREA. COULD SEE SOME WIND CHILLS LESS THAN 25 BELOW IN THESE
AREAS AS THE SOUTHERLY FLOW STRENGTHENS...BUT THE REST OF THE AREA
SHOULD REMAIN OUT OF WIND CHILL ADVISORY TERRITORY.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 336 AM CST MON FEB 10 2014

THE LONGER TERM CONTINUES TO CONTAIN A FEW BOUTS OF SNOW...WIND
AND WARMER TEMPERATURES.

THE FIRST ITEM OF INTEREST IS THE SNOW POTENTIAL DEVELOPING
TUESDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE AREA. THE SURFACE HIGH EXITS THE REGION
TUESDAY AFTERNOON...ALLOWING A SOUTHERLY WIND TO DEVELOP. THIS
SHOULD WARM THE WEST THROUGH THE TEENS...WITH READINGS APPROACHING
10 IN THE EAST BY LATE AFTERNOON. COULD STILL SEE A QUICK DROP IN
THE TEMPERATURE OVER THE EASTERN AREAS INTO TUESDAY NIGHT...BEFORE
THE MORE MILD AIR MOVES EAST. ALL MODELS CONTINUE TO TREND THE
SHORT WAVE THROUGH THE AREA TUESDAY NIGHT. EXPECT QPF SHOULD
REMAIN LESS THAN ONE TENTH OF AN INCH AND SHOULD GATHER MORE
MOISTURE OVER THE EASTERN CWA DURING THE NIGHT. THIS WILL GIVE
MAINLY AN INCH OF SNOW ACROSS THE EASTERN AREA...MAYBE UP TO 2
INCHES.

THE SYSTEM EXITS THE FAR EAST EARLY WEDNESDAY..WITH A SMALL THREAT
OF SNOW REMAINING EARLY. THEN THE NEXT VIGOROUS WAVE MOVES
EAST/SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE STATE ON THURSDAY. THE GFS IS TH
FARTHEST SOUTH WITH THE SYSTEM...MOVING OVER THE NORTHERN
CWA...ACROSS EAST CENTRAL MN AND INTO WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN. THE
ACTUAL SURFACE WIND FORECAST HAS IT TRAVELING ALONG THE NORTHERN
BORDER OF THE CWA...ACROSS CENTRAL MINNESOTA...WHICH IS CLOSE TO
THE 00Z ECMWF. WILL STILL SEE A CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WITH THIS
SYSTEM...AS IT MOVES THROUGH. EXPECT SOME STRONG SOUTH/SOUTHWEST
FLOW AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM...AND SOME MODIFIED PACIFIC AIR MOVES
ACROSS THE AREA LATER WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY. THIS SHOULD
DRAW SOME LOWER 30S INTO MOST OF THE CWA...WITH PERHAPS THE
FAR NORTHWEST AND NORTHEAST REMAINING IN THE COLDER AIR. STILL SOME
SPREAD IN THE LOW PRESSURE TRACK...WITH A FEW GFS ENSEMBLE MEMBERS
TAKING THE SLOWER...MORE SOUTHERLY TRACK. AT THE MOMENT...IT
APPEARS ANY PRECIPITATION THAT OCCURS WILL BE IN THE FORM OF
SNOW...BUT THERE COULD BE A PERIOD OF A LIGHT MIX IF ENOUGH WARM
AIR MOVES OVER THE AREA. STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS EXPECTED ON THE
BACKSIDE OF THE SYSTEM DEVELOPING THURSDAY ACROSS THE AREA.
DEPENDING ON PRECIPITATION...WE COULD SEE SOME BLOWING AND
DRIFTING CONCERNS.

LATER IN THE PERIOD...COULD SEE ANOTHER CLIPPER TYPE SYSTEM DROP
SOUTHEAST AFFECTING THE AREA SATURDAY. AFTER THIS SYSTEM...THE
LONG AWAITED CHANGE IN THE FLOW PATTERN APPEARS TO DEVELOP INTO
NEXT WEEK. WE SHOULD BEGIN TO SEE A MORE ZONAL PATTERN OVER THE
CONUS...FINALLY ALLOWING MORE MODIFIED PACIFIC TYPE AIR TO MOVE
ACROSS THE NORTHERN CONUS.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z TUESDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1043 AM CST MON FEB 10 2014

A QUIET FORECAST PERIOD IS IN STORE AS HIGH PRESSURE DRIFTS ACROSS
THE REGION. VFR CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE... WITH LIGHT WESTERLY
WINDS TODAY BECOMING CALM TONIGHT... THEN SHIFTING AROUND TO THE
SOUTH ON TUESDAY. STRONGER WINDS WILL DEVELOP TUESDAY AFTERNOON
FROM WEST TO EAST AS WE GET INTO A TIGHTER PRESSURE GRADIENT AHEAD
OF AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. WE SHOULD SEE SOME MID-HIGH CLOUDS
WORK IN LATER TUESDAY MORNING INTO TUESDAY AFTERNOON AS WARM
ADVECTION INCREASES AND THE 500MB RIDGE AXIS APPROACHES.

KMSP...TAF REFLECTS EXPECTATIONS WITH NO SIGNIFICANT DEVIATIONS
ANTICIPATED AT THIS TIME. ONLY AREA OF UNCERTAINTY IS WITH HEIGHT
OF CEILINGS TUESDAY AFTERNOON... WITH SOME POSSIBILITY WE COULD
SEE SOME LOWER VFR CEILINGS AOA 5K FT AGL BY LATER IN THE
AFTERNOON. IT/S ALSO POSSIBLE WINDS COULD GUST A BIT HIGHER OR NOT
GUST MUCH AT ALL LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON DEPENDING UPON HOW QUICKLY
WE CAN INCREASING THE MIXING LAYER DEPTH.

/OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/
TUESDAY NIGHT...MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES EXPECTED WITH A
CHANCE OF SNOW. SOUTHWEST WIND 10 TO 20 KT.
WEDNESDAY...MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES POSSIBLE EARLY WITH A
CHANCE OF SNOW. WEST WIND 5 TO 15 KT SHIFTING NORTHWEST.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT...VFR. VARIABLE WIND LESS THAN 10 KT BECOMING
SOUTH AROUND 10 KT.
THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT...MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES POSSIBLE
WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW. SOUTHWEST WIND 5 TO 15 KT SHIFTING WEST
THURSDAY AFTERNOON... THEN BECOMING NORTHWEST THURSDAY NIGHT.
FRIDAY...MVFR CEILINGS POSSIBLE EARLY. NORTHWEST WIND 5 TO 15 KT
BECOMING WEST.
