AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
1154 AM CST FRI FEB 13 2015

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 400 AM CST FRI FEB 13 2015

AS HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR THE FIRST HALF OF FEBRUARY...AND WILL BE
THE CASE FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE MONTH...NORTHWEST FLOW WAS IN
PLACE ACROSS THE CENTRAL CONUS...WITH CYCLONES OFF EITHER COAST.
THIS SYNOPTIC SETUP WILL LEAD TO SEVERAL SURGES OF ARCTIC AIR OVER
THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...THE FIRST OF WHICH WILL ARRIVE ON FRIDAY
NIGHT.

TODAY LIGHT SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL BRING SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES
ACROSS THE REGION. THIS RELATIVELY MILD AIR WILL BE NOTHING MORE
THAN A DISTANT MEMORY FRIDAY NIGHT AS A SHARP SHORTWAVE ON THE
POLEWARD SIDE OF A 150KT UPPER LEVEL JET DIVES ACROSS NORTHERN MN/WI
AND DRIVES AN ARCTIC FRONT SOUTHWARD DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
VALLEY. FORECAST SOUNDINGS QUICKLY OVERTURN IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER IN
RESPONSE TO THIS COLD AIR ADVECTION...SO HAVE INCREASE WINDS LEADING
UP TO SATURDAY MORNING. IN ADDITION TO THE STRONG WINDS...FALLING
TEMPERATURES WILL COMBINE TO PRODUCE WIND CHILL VALUES 25 TO 35
BELOW ZERO SATURDAY MORNING. CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT THESE VALUES
WILL BE REACHED ACROSS THE CWA...BUT HELD OFF ON A WIND CHILL
ADVISORY AT THIS TIME SINCE THE EVENT IS BEYOND 24HRS.

.LONG TERM...(SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)
ISSUED AT 400 AM CST FRI FEB 13 2015

A BITTERLY COLD DAY BEGINS THE LONGER TERM. HIGHS WILL ONLY BE IN
THE LOW SINGLE DIGITS ABOVE AND BELOW ZERO AS A MASSIVE 1045 MB
HIGHS BUILDS IN. NORTHERLY WINDS FROM 20 TO 30 MPH WILL BE COMMON
THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON...MAKING THE APPARENT TEMPERATURE 25 BELOW
TO 35 BELOW ZERO. WIND GUSTS MAY REACH NEAR 40 MPH IN THE MORNING
ACROSS SOUTHERN MN WITH 6 HOUR PRESSURE RISES NEAR 12 MB. THE HIGH
WILL PASS ACROSS THE FA SATURDAY NIGHT AND EARLY SUNDAY. IT WILL
BE A VERY COLD NIGHT WITH LOWS FROM 5 BELOW IN SW MN TO NEAR 20
BELOW ALONG HIGHWAY 8 IN WI.

CONFIDENCE CONTINUES TO INCREASE ON A LIGHT SNOW EVENT ACROSS MUCH
OF THE FA SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT AS A MID LEVEL WAVE DEEPENS DURING
THE DAY WHILE MOVING ACROSS EASTERN ND AND NORTHERN MN. THE BEST
CHANCE FOR 1 TO 2 INCHES OF SNOW IS ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHERN MN
WITH AN INCH OR LESS TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. RAISED POPS INTO THE
LIKELY CATEGORY FOR MUCH OF THE FA...STARTING IN THE MORNING
ACROSS WESTERN MN AND THEN ACROSS EASTERN MN AND WESTERN WI IN THE
AFTERNOON/EVENING.

ANOTHER SURGE OF ARCTIC AIR WILL BEGIN TO WORK SOUTHEAST ACROSS
THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY ON MONDAY WITH PLENTY OF CLOUDS AND
SOME LIGHT SNOW OR FLURRIES. THE REAL COLD WILL ARRIVE ON TUESDAY
AND PERSIST INTO THE END OF THE WORK WEEK AS ANOTHER LARGE HIGH
MOVES SLOWLY SOUTHEAST FROM CENTRAL CANADA. HENCE...IT WILL BE
DRY AND COLD FROM TUESDAY ONWARD. THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE WILL BE
AROUND 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FROM TUESDAY ONWARD.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SATURDAY AFTERNOON)
