PROMINENT SFC LOW PRES CENTER IS LOCATED OVER THE TX/OK
PANHANDLES...AND IT IS THIS FEATURE WHICH WILL DOMINATE THE WX
OVER THE NEXT 24-36 HRS. ALOFT...UPPER LEVEL RIDGING WILL GLIDE
ACROSS THE REGION...MITIGATING ANY APPRECIABLE CHCS FOR
PRECIPITATION TODAY OUTSIDE OF SPOTTY -FZDZ/FLURRIES THIS MORNING.
WHILE THE RIDGE RESIDES OVER THE CENTRAL CONUS...A PROMINENT UPPER
LEVEL TROF WILL MOVE ACROSS THE ROCKIES TODAY. THIS TROF IS
EXPECTED TO PICK UP THE LOW PRESSURE CENTER OVER THE TX/OK
PANHANDLES AND SHIFT IT NEWD TOWARD THE GREAT LAKES THRU TONIGHT.
AS IT DOES SO...THE UPPER TROF WILL SHIFT INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS
AND PIVOT TO A SLIGHTLY NEGATIVE TILT WHICH WILL ENHANCE THE SFC
LOW AND DEEPEN LIFT. WHILE THERE WILL BE SOME PACIFIC MOISTURE
ACCOMPANYING THE TROF...GULF OF MEXICO MOISTURE WILL BE DRAGGED
NWD IN ADVANCE OF THE SFC LOW...DEEPENING THE MOISTURE COLUMN INTO
THE UPR MISS RIVER VALLEY. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF MAIN
CONCERNS...PRECIP TIMING AND HOW QUICKLY THE MOISTURE COLUMN
SATURATES TO ALLOW INITIAL P-TYPES OF FZDZ/IP TO CHANGE OVER TO
SNOW. BECAUSE SURFACE DEWPOINT DEPRESSIONS ARE ALREADY QUITE SMALL
/IN FACT...ZERO OVER MUCH OF THE WFO MPX CWFA THIS
MORNING/...THERE IS LITTLE DOUBT OF SATURATED LOW LEVELS. IN
ADDITION...UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE ALREADY STREAMING AS EVIDENT ON IR
IMAGERY INDICATES HIGH MOISTURE IS ALSO FAIRLY SUFFICIENT. MODEL
SOUNDINGS DO SHOW THE UPPER RIDGING KEEPING THE MID LEVELS ON THE
DRIER SIDE...BUT AS THE RIDGE MOVES AWAY...THE MOISTURE COLUMN
SHOULD FILL IN FAIRLY EFFICIENTLY OVERNIGHT INTO MON MORNING SO
ALTHOUGH P-TYPE AT THE OUTSET WILL LIKELY BE -FZDZ/-IP...IT WILL
ONLY BE A SHORT DURATION SO AM EXPECTING A CHANGEOVER TO SNOW FOR
MUCH OF WRN AND N-CENTRAL MN PRIOR TO DAYBREAK WHILE ERN AND
S-CENTRAL MN STARTS OUT AS -FZDZ. WHILE THE BULK OF THE PRECIP
WILL OCCUR AFTER DAYBREAK MON...THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR 1-2 INCHES
OF SNOWFALL ACCUMULATION IN WRN MN OVERNIGHT.

.LONG TERM...(MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 401 AM CST SUN JAN 24 2016

THERE ARE TWO MAIN STORIES FOR THE WEEK AHEAD...THE SNOW FOR
MONDAY WITH THAWING TEMPERATURES EXPECTED FOR THE END OF THE
WEEK. ALL IN ALL...CHANGES MADE TO THE FORECAST OVERNIGHT WERE
PRETTY MINIMAL...WITH THE MAIN CHANGE BEING TO HAVE A BIT MORE
FZDZ/DZ MENTION DURING THE DAY MONDAY FROM SOUTH CENTRAL MN INTO
EAST CENTRAL MN AND WESTERN WI.

FOR MONDAY...AS THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION MENTIONED...WE ARE STILL
SEEING TWO BITS OF FORCING WITH AN ELEVATED FGEN BAND FROM WESTERN
INTO CENTRAL MN AND THE MAIN UPPER WAVE THAT WILL BE COMING ACROSS
IOWA INTO SOUTHERN WI. THIS STILL LOOKS TO BRING A MINIMUM IN QPF
FROM SOUTH CENTRAL MN INTO EASTERN MN AND WESTERN WI...WITH TWO
BANDS OF ENHANCED QPF EXPECTED FROM WESTERN ACROSS CENTRAL MN
AND SECOND AREA FROM EASTERN IOWA THROUGH SOUTHEAST WI.

THE WESTERN BAND WILL BE IN RESPONSE TO A FRONTAL BAND THAT WILL
SETUP FROM NORTH CENTRAL NEB INTO WESTERN/CENTRAL MN...WITH FGEN
IN THE H7-H6 LAYER GIVING THE BEST REPRESENTATION FOR THIS
FORCING. THIS FORCING WILL BE STRONGEST MONDAY MORNING AS THE
UPPER LOW LIFTING NORTHEAST OUT OF KANSAS WILL SEND A FAIRLY STOUT
NOSE OF WARM AIR UP ACROSS MN. THIS FRONTAL FORCING THOUGH QUICKLY
FALLS APART DURING THE DAY ON MONDAY AS THE UPPER WAVE MOVES INTO
IOWA...PUSHING THAT WARM NOSE OFF INTO WI AND GREATLY WEAKENING
THE BAROCLINIC ZONE ACROSS MN. NMM/ARW ARE IN PRETTY GOOD
AGREEMENT THAT THIS EVENT WILL DO MOST OF ITS DAMAGE WITH SNOWFALL
BETWEEN 9Z AND 18Z ON MONDAY. WHERE THIS BAND SETS UP...STILL
EXPECTING A NARROW AXIS WHERE QPF GETS UP AROUND 0.4"...WHICH WHEN
WORKING WITH AN 11 OR 12 TO 1 SNOW RATIO WILL PUT OUT A NARROW
BAND /LIKELY NOT MUCH MORE THAN 50 MILES WIDE/ WHERE SNOWFALL
AMOUNT PUSH INTO THE 4-5 INCH RANGE. STILL SEEING A DECENT SPREAD
WITH ENSEMBLE QPF PLUMES FOR THE SREF AND GEFS...BEST EXAMPLE
WOULD OF THAT WOULD BE FOR ALEXANDRIA...WHERE SREF/GEFS PLUMES
RANGE ANYWHERE FROM UNDER 0.05" TO ALMOST A HALF INCH OF QPF.
MODEL SPREAD FOR WHERE THE BAND SETS UP IS ANYWHERE AS FAR WEST AS
A NE SODAK/FERGUS FALLS/WALKER LINE TO AS FAR EAST AS A REDWOOD
FALLS/MORA LINE. WE CONTINUE TO SPLIT THE DIFFERENCE...WITH
HEAVIEST SNOW CURRENTLY FORECAST TO FALL FROM MADISON TO LITTLE
FALLS. WILL IN ALL LIKELIHOOD NEED AN ADVISORY FOR SOMEWHERE OUT
IN WESTERN/CENTRAL MN...BUT ENOUGH SPREAD STILL EXISTS TO PRECLUDE
THE ISSUANCE OF ANY HEADLINES AT THIS TIME.

FARTHER EAST ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MN...THE TWIN CITIES AND WESTERN
WI...THE BIG ISSUE FOR MONDAY WILL BE THE PRESENCE OF A MID LEVEL
DRY SLOT COMING IN AHEAD OF THE UPPER WAVE. IF ANYTHING...WE
PROBABLY ARE SPREADING POPS IN WAY TO FAST ON MONDAY EAST OF THAT
WESTERN MN SNOW BAND...WITH MUCH OF THIS AREA NOT SEEING DEEP
ENOUGH MOISTURE TO PRODUCE SNOW UNTIL LATE MONDAY AFTERNOON. HAVE
A LOT OF DZ MENTION AS A RESULT OF THE DRY MID LEVELS THROUGH THE
DAY ON MONDAY...BUT HAVE LOW CONFIDENCE ON IF WE WILL ACTUALLY SEE
MUCH DZ BEFORE DEEPER MOISTURE AND LIGHT SNOW ARRIVES. BY THE TIME
THE SNOW GETS INTO EASTERN MN/WESTERN WI...FORCING WILL BE MUCH
MORE BROAD WITH JUST A PROLONGED PERIOD OF LIGHT SNOW
EXPECTED...WITH AMOUNTS ONLY GETTING UP TO AROUND AN INCH...SO A
SHOVEL OPTIONAL TYPE SNOW FOR MANKATO...THE TWIN CITIES AND EAU
CLAIRE.

WE WILL SEE A BRIEF COOL DOWN FOR TUESDAY IN THE WAKE OF THIS
SYSTEM...BUT THE PASSAGE OF A CLIPPER WELL TO THE NORTH OF THE
AREA ON WEDNESDAY WILL OPEN UP THE DOOR FOR BRINGING VERY MILD
PACIFIC AIR BACK INTO THE REGION...WHICH LOOKS TO MAXIMIZE ITSELF
ON FRIDAY...WHEN THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOW 925-850 TEMPS INCREASING
TO BETWEEN 8C AND 10C. THE ECMWF AND MEX GUIDANCE SHOW HIGHS
GETTING INTO THE LOW 40S PRETTY MUCH AREA WIDE ON FRIDAY...BUT
CONTINUED TO KEEP HIGHS IN THE MID/UPPER 30S GIVEN SNOW COVER AND
THE FACT THAT IT WILL LIKELY CONTINUE TO BE MOSTLY CLOUDY. FRIDAY
NIGHT WILL FEATURE THE PASSAGE OF A COLD FRONT...BUT THE COLD AIR
REALLY OOZES INTO THE AREA AS OPPOSED TO SLAMMING IN...SO EVEN
SATURDAY LOOKS MILD WITH HIGHS MOSTLY ABOVE FREEZING BEFORE
FALLING BACK SUNDAY.

EXPECT THE WEEK TO BE MAINLY DRY. WITH CLIPPER PASSING WELL NORTH
OF US ON WEDNESDAY...IT IS LOOKING INCREASING LIKELY THAT ANY OF
ITS PRECIP WILL MISS US NORTH AS WELL. FOR THE REST OF THE
WEEK...WITH A MORE ZONAL FLOW OVERHEAD...WE MAY SEE THE OCCASIONAL
SPIT OF RAIN OR SNOW...BUT WE REALLY STILL ARE NOT SEEING ANYTHING
OF SIGNIFICANCE FORE PRECIP LOCALLY IN THE MODELS UNTIL THE FIRST
WEEK OF FEBRUARY.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1057 AM CST SUN JAN 24 2016

PATCHY FREEZING FOG AND MIST ARE LIKELY TO PREVAIL THROUGH THE
REMAINDER OF THE PERIOD...AS LOW LEVEL MOISTURE REMAINS IN PLACE
OVER OUR AREA. AS A RESULT...IFR/LIFR CIGS AND MVFR/IFR
VISIBILITIES SHOULD CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY. IN ADDITION...AN
AREA OF LIGHT SNOW WILL MOVE IN OVERNIGHT...WITH WESTERN AND
CENTRAL MN LIKELY TO SEE THE HIGHEST SNOWFALL RATES AND MOST
IMPACT TO VISIBILITY FROM THE SNOW. HOWEVER...EASTERN MN AND WEST
CENTRAL WI COULD ALSO SEE SOME FREEZING DRIZZLE AND FLURRIES
OVERNIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING.

KMSP...PATCHY FREEZING FOG AND MIST WILL LIKELY CONTINUE THROUGH
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING HOURS. AN INITIAL BAND OF SNOW CANNOT BE
RULED OUT BETWEEN 06-09Z OR SO...BUT UNCERTAINTY REMAINS SO LEFT
THIS OUT OF THE TAF FOR NOW. MORE CONFIDENCE IN PRECIPITATION
DEVELOPING MONDAY...WITH FREEZING DRIZZLE POSSIBLE IN THE MORNING
AND LIGHT SNOW LIKELY AFTER 18Z. IFR CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY
THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD DUE TO LOW CLOUDS AND PATCHY FOG/MIST...WITH
LIFR CIGS POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT INTO MONDAY. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND
GENERALLY VARIABLE.

/OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/
TUE...MVFR CIGS EXPECTED. NW WIND 10-15 KTS.
WED...VFR. SW WIND 5-10 KTS.
