240 PM CDT Tue May 29 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 229 PM CDT Tue May 29 2018

Weather impacts this afternoon and evening will be mainly across
the MN trees and lakes country. A plume of instability has
developed across this area with MLCAPE 1 to 2k J/kg ahead of
subtle shortwave. 0 to 6 km bulk shear values are on the light
side for organized severe with values ranging from 20 to 30kts per
mesoanalysis page and model guidance. Currently have a couple
strong storms and expecting this type of activity with a few
storms capable of reaching hail around an inch and own burst winds
up to 75mph to continue for the next few hours. Activity will
lift to the north northeast and exit the area this evening.

Another relatively warm early summer night with lows in the 60s.
The upper level low will move across the northern plains tomorrow
with showers and storms increasing in coverage into the noon hour.
Concern with the upper low at this time of year will be any sort
of clearing directly ahead of the upper forcing. So depending on
sky cover and position of bands of instability and near sfc layer
shear profile. There could be potential for mini supercells or
brief spin ups with any enhanced stretching within the early
stages of development. Similar to June 7th last year.

More widespread rainfall is expected across the Devils Lake basin
and northern valley to the north of the upper low. Elsewhere
scattered storms will once again be the predominate mode.
Generally more widespread amounts in the northeast ND and NW MN
with less to the south. Expecting a half to an inch with a tenth
to a half inch across SE ND.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 229 PM CDT Tue May 29 2018

500 mb low will be transitioning from the Red River Valley north and
east and out of the area Wed night, leading to a period of drying
and upper ridging for Thu. This will be quickly followed by another
period of active weather however, as the pattern returns to SW flow
aloft by early Friday morning with a continuation of embedded
shortwaves bringing rain and thunder chances to the area for Friday
and Saturday. Another break in activity is expected Sunday through
early next week as zonal flow sets up aloft with a short wave ridge
over the northern tier and Manitoba by Mon. There could be a trend
toward more NW flow as we head into the middle of next week.

Temperatures will not roam very far from seasonal values during this
regime, with daytime highs mostly in the 70s and lows in the 50s.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon)
