AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
240 AM CDT MON JUN 22 2015

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 238 AM CDT MON JUN 22 2015

THE EVOLUTION OF THE LINEAR MCS IS THE PRIMARY CONCERN TODAY. DO
EXPECT A WEAKENING TREND AS THE LINE MOVES EASTWARD...AND THEN THE
QUESTION BECOMES WHERE THE RELATED BOUNDARY WILL RESIDE THIS
AFTERNOON. HAVE INCLUDED EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON CHANCE POPS FROM
ALBERT LEA TO EAU CLAIRE...ALTHOUGH WILL NEED TO REASSESS AFTER IT
BECOMES MORE CLEAR WHERE THE BOUNDARY SETS UP IN THE WAKE OF THE
NOCTURNAL MCS. WITH PLENTY OF DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND MLCAPE TO WORK
WITH...SUPERCELLS AND THE KITCHEN SINK OF SEVERE WEATHER TYPES WOULD
BE POSSIBLE...PRIMARILY BETWEEN 18Z AND 21Z FROM KAEL TO KEAU AND
SOUTH/SOUTHEAST. HOWEVER...THERE IS A DECENT CHANCE IT WILL BE
SHUNTED TO THE SOUTH/EAST OF THE AREA...SO CONFIDENCE IS LOW.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 238 AM CDT MON JUN 22 2015

LITTLE CHANGE WAS MADE IN THE LONG TERM PORTION OF THE
FORECAST. GENERALLY SPEAKING...FOLLOWING THIS MORNINGS STORM SYSTEM
WE SHOULD TRANSITION TO A DRIER REGIME WITH ZONAL TO NORTHWEST FLOW.
A FEW SHORTWAVES WITHIN THIS NORTHWEST FLOW WILL BRING SLIGHT
CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...SPECIFICALLY WEDNESDAY AND
FRIDAY/NIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL NEAR TO SLIGHTLY BELOW THE SEASONAL
AVERAGE FOR LATE JUNE.

AT THE START OF THE PERIOD TUESDAY MORNING ANTICYCLONIC FLOW AND
SUBTLE HEIGHT RISES WILL LEAD TO SUBSIDENCE AND SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW THE
POTENTIAL FOR A FEW AFTERNOON CLOUDS...WITH WEST SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS
AROUND 10 MPH. SO ALL THINGS CONSIDERED...A VERY SEASONABLE SUMMER
DAY. ON WEDNESDAY A SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE JUST SOUTH OF THE
INTERNATIONAL BORDER AND BRING A CHANCE FOR A FEW SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE RETURN AHEAD OF THIS WAVE WILL
LIFT NORTHWARD...BUT SHOULD REMAIN NEAR AND SOUTH OF I-90. THEREFORE
THINK THE BEST CHANCES FOR PRECIP WILL BE ACROSS THE NORTH TIED TO
THE UPPER LEVEL FORCING...AND ALSO TO THE SOUTH ALONG THE WARM
FRONT. IT LOOKS LIKE THESE TWO AREAS OF PRECIP COULD SPLIT CENTRAL
MN/WI. FORECAST SOUNDINGS HAVE THE BEST ELEVATED MIXED LAYER AND
INSTABILITY TO THE SOUTH...SO COULD SEE SUPERCELLS AND SEVERE
WEATHER GIVEN THE FAVORABLE KEEP LAYER SHEAR PROFILE.

FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK A FEW SHORTWAVES BRING CHANCES FOR SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE BEST SIGNAL AFTER WEDNESDAY/NIGHT IS FRIDAY
INTO SATURDAY. TAKING A QUICK GLANCE AT THE FINISHED FORECAST...IT
MAY SEEM LIKE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL MAKE FOR A WET
WEEK...BUT JUST TO REITERATE THAT ASIDE FROM WEDNESDAY/NIGHT...THE
MOISTURE IS LIMITED WITH THE NORTHWEST FLOW AS PWATS GENERALLY
REMAIN LESS THAN AN INCH...WHICH IS NEAR THE CLIMATOLOGICAL AVERAGE.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY NIGHT)
ISSUED AT 1150 PM CDT SUN JUN 21 2015

CURRENT RADAR TRENDS AND LOCAL MODELS DEPICT TWO AREAS OF
SHRA/TSRA DEVELOPING ACROSS WC/CENTRAL/SC MN BY 7-9Z...AND EC MN
BY 10-12Z. HIGH CONFIDENCE IN A SQUALL LINE MOVING ACROSS PARTS OF
SOUTHERN MN BY SUNRISE. THERE IS ALSO AN INDICATION OF SIGNIFICANT
STRONG EASTERLY OUTFLOW FROM THE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX ONCE IT
MOVES OFF TO THE EAST BY 15Z. SOME ADJUSTMENTS WILL BE NEEDED
OVERNIGHT...BUT THERE WILL BE A PERIOD OF HEAVY RAINFALL AND
STRONG WINDS ON THE INITIAL TSRA COMPLEX. SOME MVFR CIGS ARE
POSSIBLE BEHIND THIS SYSTEM...WITH BREEZY WNW/NW WINDS DEVELOPING
BY THE AFTN.

KMSP...

SAME SCENARIO AS BEFORE AS A COMPLEX OF TSRA MOVES ACROSS THE
AIRPORT FIELD BETWEEN 12-14Z. SCATTERED TSRA ARE POSSIBLE BEFORE
12Z...BUT THE MAIN STORM WILL OCCUR AROUND 13Z. CONFIDENCE IS
INCREASING ON GUSTY WINDS ALONG AND BEHIND THIS TSRA COMPLEX. MVFR
CIGS IN THE MORNING WILL GIVE AWAY TO VFR AND GUSTY WNW WINDS BY
THE AFTN.

/OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/

TUE...VFR. WINDS NW TO W AT 5-10 KT.
WED...VFR. CHC OF TSRA. WINDS SE 5 KTS.
