AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
233 PM CST SAT JAN 3 2015

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 329 AM CST SAT JAN 3 2015

BOTH A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY AND A WIND CHILL ADVISORY ARE NOW
IN EFFECT FOR A PORTION OF THE FA FOR THE SHORT TERM PERIOD. THE
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IS FOR A COMBINATION OF FALLING AND
BLOWING SNOW ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHERN MN. THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY
ONLY COVERS WESTERN MN AT THIS TIME...BUT WILL VERY LIKELY BE
EXPANDED EASTWARD BY THE DAY SHIFT TODAY.

EARLY THIS MORNING...A WELL ADVERTISED LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WAS
CENTERED OVER THE ND/SD BORDER AND MOVING EASTWARD.  A SOLID
PRECIPITATION SHIELD TO THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST OF THE LOW HAS
PRODUCED SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW ACCUMULATION ACROSS NORTHERN MN
AND NORTH DAKOTA. THIS SYSTEM IS THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE SHORT
TERM PERIOD.

THE MORNING WILL START OUT QUITE PLEASANT FOR EARLY JANUARY ACROSS
THE REGION. MUCH OF THE AREA /MAINLY WESTERN MN/ WILL LIKELY SEE
SOME SUN MIXED WITH HIGH CLOUDS THIS MORNING AS A TONGUE OF DRY
AIR IN THE LOW LEVEL SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW KEEPS KEEPS THE CLOUD
COVER AT BAY. FURTHER EAST...ADDITIONAL MOISTURE WILL KEEP THE
CLOUDS IN PLACE FOR MUCH OF THE DAY IN EXTREME EASTERN MN AND WEST
CENTRAL WI. SOUTHERLY WINDS AHEAD OF THE LOW WILL KEEP
TEMPERATURES RELATIVELY COMFORTABLE TODAY.

THE LOW WILL DRIFT EAST TODAY...AND A STRONG ARCTIC COLD FRONT
WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA FROM WEST TO EAST...BEGINNING WITH
FAR WESTERN MN THIS AFTERNOON...REACHING THE TWIN CITIES BY
EVENING...AND MAKING IT THROUGH EAU CLAIRE PRIOR TO MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT. ITS LOOKING MORE LIKELY THAT A DECENT BAND OF SNOW WILL
ACCOMPANY THIS FRONT AS IT MOVES EASTWARD TONIGHT. WESTERN MN WILL
LIKELY NOT SEE MUCH IN THE WAY OF ACCUMULATION...BUT EXTREME
SOUTHERN MN...THROUGH EASTERN MN...AND WEST CENTRAL WI WILL SEE
1-3 INCHES OF ACCUMULATION TONIGHT. AS THE FRONT PUSHES THROUGH
THIS AREA TONIGHT...THE UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE WILL DIG AND
PIVOT...AND FORCING BECOMES STRONGER AS F-GEN INTENSIFIES ACROSS
EASTERN MN. THIS WILL HELP A BAND OF SNOW INTENSIFY OVER EASTERN
MN AND MOVE THROUGH WESTERN WI. AS EXPECTED WITH AN ARCTIC
FRONT...COLD AIR ADVECTION WILL COOL THE ENTIRE COLUMN AND OFFER A
HIGH RATIO SNOWFALL...WHICH MAKES ME MORE CONCERNED WITH BLOWING
SNOW POTENTIAL. MEANWHILE...A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL FOLLOW
THE FRONT MAKING FOR SUSTAINED WINDS OF 25-30 MPH IN WESTERN AND
SOUTHERN MN AND GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH /WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER VALUES
EAST/. THIS COMBINATION WILL CAUSE LIMITED VISIBILITIES WITHIN THE
BAND OF SNOW. IN ADDITION...TEMPERATURES WILL BE PLUMMETING IN THE
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW...WITH SUBZERO READINGS QUICKLY ADVANCING
EASTWARD THROUGH SOUTHERN MN OVERNIGHT. WIND CHILL VALUES ACROSS
WESTERN MN WILL QUICKLY DROP TO 25-35 BELOW ZERO LATE TONIGHT.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 329 AM CST SAT JAN 3 2015

ARCTIC AIR PRODUCING FRIGID WIND CHILL VALUES FOR MUCH OF THE
WEEK AND A CLIPPER SYSTEM DELIVERING PLOWABLE SNOWFALL FOR MONDAY
AND MONDAY NIGHT ARE THE PRIMARY CONCERNS FOR THIS FCST PKG.

SUNDAY WILL START OUT WITH A PHASED LOW PRES CENTER OVER THE
CENTRAL GREAT LAKES...A CDFNT S OF THE AREA...AND POTENT CAA
UNDERWAY WHILE A LONGWAVE TROF AXIS IS PROGGED TO SWING THRU THE
AREA. A 1050MB HIGH IN WRN CANADA WILL DROP SEWD ALONG THE SPINE
OF THE ROCKIES...GRADUALLY SPREADING EWD SUN INTO MON ACRS THE
CENTRAL-NRN PLAINS AND THE UPR-MID MISS RIVER VALLEY REGIONS. HIGH
TEMPS FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE MPX CWFA WILL OCCUR AROUND
MIDNIGHT EARLY SUN MRNG AS CAA WILL DROP TEMPS TO BELOW ZERO FOR
MUCH IF NOT THE ENTIRE DAYTIME PERIOD...EVEN WITH THE OCCASIONAL
BREAK IN THE CLOUD COVER. WIND CHILLS WILL EASILY REMAIN BELOW -20
FOR THE ENTIRE DAY AND EVEN AS LOW AS -30 FOR PARTS OF WRN MN DURG
THE DAY. THE REMAINDER OF THE CWFA WILL JOIN THE -25 TO -30 WIND
CHILL RANGE BY LATE AFTN AND REMAIN THERE THRU SUN NIGHT INTO MON
WITH PARTIAL CLOUD COVER. LOW TEMPS WILL FALL TO -12 TO -20 EARLY
MON MRNG.

THE NEXT ITEM OF NOTE IS A CLIPPER SYSTEM FOR MON AND MON NIGHT...
A SYSTEM THAT ORIGINATES IN THE GULF OF ALASKA SUN THEN QUICKLY IS
SHUNTED SEWD OVER THE PAC NW AND OVER THE NRN ROCKIES SUN THRU SUN
NIGHT. THE LOW IS QUICKLY PICKED UP BY A SHORTWAVE TROF AXIS OVER
THE LEE OF THE ROCKIES MON AFTN...BRINGING IT EWD ACRS THE MID
MISS RIVER VALLEY AND INTO THE OHIO RIVER VALLEY MON NIGHT. THIS
SYSTEM WILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN A FAIR AMOUNT OF PACIFIC MOISTURE
WITH IT AND BECOME ENHANCED BY STRONG MID-UPR LVL JETTING WHICH
WILL PROMOTE STRONG LIFT. EVEN WITH THE RELATIVE FORWARD SPEED OF
THE SYSTEM...STRONG PVA ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THE SYSTEM WITHIN
THE DEEP MOISTURE WILL ALLOW FOR SOME PERIODS OF MOD-HVY SNOW LATE
MON AFTN THRU MON EVE. THERE IS DECENT MODEL AGREEMENT AMONG THE
GFS/GEM/EC OF HAVING A SLIGHTLY MORE SLY TRACK TO THE HVY SNOW...
A 4-6 INCH SWATH ROUGHLY FROM KANDIYOHI/SWIFT/CHIPPEWA COUNTIES IN
WRN MN SEWD THRU STEELE/WASECA/FREEBORN COUNTIES IN SRN MN. LOCAL
HOPWRF MODEL MAINTAINS THE SLIGHTLY NRN SWATH...BRINGING THOSE
HIGHER AMOUNTS INTO THE WRN AND SRN TWIN CITY METRO REGIONS... BUT
HAVE OPTED TO KEEP WITH THE MODEL CONSENSUS AND SURROUNDING OFFICE
COLLAB TO KEEP THE HEAVIER SNOW TO THE S. HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
SLIGHTLY SLOW THE ARRIVAL OF THE SNOW BY ABOUT 3-6 HRS AS THE
MODELS HAVE COME IN WITH SLOWER DEPICTIONS THIS MRNG. BUT...HAVE
ALSO BEEN ABLE TO NUDGE POPS TO 80-90 PERCENT IN SWRN PORTIONS OF
THE COVERAGE AREA DUE TO HIGHER CONFIDENCE OF SNOWFALL OCCURRENCE
AND THE INCRG MODEL AGREEMENT. ANOTHER NOTE ABOUT THE SNOWFALL
AMOUNTS...THE VERY COLD AIR IN PLACE WILL BE FOUND THRU A FAIRLY
DEEP LAYER OFF THE SFC...WHICH WOULD PROMOTE LARGER FLAKE SIZE
ALONG WITH LESSER PACKING...LEADING TO HIGHER SNOWFALL
ACCUMULATIONS. WILL NEED TO SEE IF THIS IDEA CONTINUES BUT ATTM
THIS EVENT LOOKS TO BE A SOLID WINTER WX ADVY TYPE OF EVENT.

AS THIS SYSTEM DEPARTS DURG THE DAY ON TUE...ANOTHER FRIGID HIGH
PRES AIRMASS WILL DROP IN FROM CANADA. THIS ALSO WILL BE A 1050+
MB HIGH...GIVING A REINFORCING SURGE OF COLD AIR TO WHAT IS
ALREADY RESIDENT ACRS THE CWFA. AFTER HAVING SUB-ZERO HIGH TEMPS
FOR SUNDAY...WEDNESDAY LOOKS TO ALSO FEATURE SUB-ZERO HIGH TEMPS.
AS FOR LOWS...THE ENTIRE WEEK WILL FEATURE SUB-ZERO LOWS...
GENERALLY BETWEEN THE -8 TO -18 RANGE FOR THE ENTIRE CWFA.
FACTORING IN WINDS...WIND CHILLS AROUND -25 WILL BE COMMON WITH
-35 VERY POSSIBLE FOR PARTS OF WRN AND SRN MN FOR MON AND AGAIN
TUE NIGHT THRU WED NIGHT. THIS HIGH PRES AIRMASS WILL SHIFT OFF TO
THE SE THU...ALLOWING A RELATIVELY WARMER RETURN SLY FLOW TO
DEVELOP WHICH DOES LOOK TO MODERATE TEMPERATURES FOR THU-FRI. THAT
SAID...HIGHS STILL LOOK TO ONLY HIT THE UPR SINGLE DIGITS TO LWR
TEENS. ANOTHER CDFNT IS EXPECTED TO DROP THRU THE REGION THU NIGHT
INTO FRI...POSSIBLY BRINGING -SN TO THE REGION...BUT ALSO USHERING
YET ANOTHER SURGE OF ARCTIC AIR TO END THE WEEK.
