Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
349 AM CDT Mon May 28 2018

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 341 AM CDT Mon May 28 2018

The heat remains the primary forecast concern in the short term
forecast period. In the meantime, fairly widespread showers and
thunderstorms have developed early this morning over west central
Wisconsin along a sagging cold front. This activity was well-
forecast by the HRRR, which shows activity will shift east and wane
after 12Z. The boundary looks to remain situated across the heart of
the forecast area today, roughly from Montevideo to Minneapolis to
Eau Claire. Moisture looks to pool along and north this boundary,
with dewpoints in the mid/upper 60s. Temperatures south of the
boundary look to warm into the 95 to 100 degree range. These are
quite notable forecast values given MSP has only gotten as warm as
the forecast high of 99 in the entire month of May twice throughout
history (106 in May of 1994 and 99 in May of 1925). There will be
some high/mid clouds to contend with, but still expect heat indices
to achieve mid/upper 90s readings, with 100+ in areas from Mankato
northeast to the Twin Cities eastward toward Eau Claire. A heat
advisory is in effect generally along and south of Interstate 94,
with the exception of the Twin Cities metro where a heat warning has
been issued due to slightly lower criteria.

Most of the CAMS develop scattered convection in central/southern MN
between 3 pm and 6 pm. This scenario and timing seem reasonable.
There should still be plenty of opportunity for the heat
advisory/warning to come to fruition as the storms will be forming
at peak heating. The low level boundary stays stretched across the
CWA tonight while a weak shortwave approaches from the west. Have
included 20-30 POPs from west into central MN/WI.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday)
Issued at 341 AM CDT Mon May 28 2018

How convection evolves late Monday into early Tuesday will
influence temperatures and convection on Tuesday. The CWA will be
under the western periphery of upper-level ridging on Tuesday as a
shortwave trough continues northeastward across the central and
northern Plains. Southerly flow will continue to supply warm air
and transport Gulf moisture. Even if there is remnant cloud cover
from Monday convection, temperatures should warm at least into
the upper 80s and lower 90s. Dewpoints are forecast to be in the
mid 60s, which will allow heat indices to reach into the mid 90s
in some areas.

The approaching shortwave trough, remnant outflow boundaries, and
surface cold front over the High Plains mean there should be
adequate forcing for scattered convection late Monday over NE, SD,
and MN. While there still is some uncertainty, convection
initiation looks to occur to the southwest of MN ahead of the
surface cold front and progress northeastward into Southwestern
MN. In addition, thunderstorms may also develop in Southern MN and
travel eastward into WI Tuesday night. Areas of the CWA that stay
mostly free of cloud cover and have optimum heating have the
potential for 2000+ J/kg of MUCAPE. There is a chance for
marginally severe wind and hail with effective bulk wind
differences near 20-25 kts that may support organized updrafts.
Precipitable water values look to reach near 1.5 to 2 inches based
off of the NAM and GFS, so localized heavy rain may be possible.

The shortwave trough and surface boundary continue to progress
eastward on Wednesday, leading to another round of scattered
convection. Moisture will also be enhanced on Wednesday as the
remnants of Alberto approach the Great Lakes region. The shortwave
trough and surface boundary look to have progressed to the east of
the CWA by Thursday evening and will be followed by a drier airmass
and upper-level ridging. The next best chance for precip looks to
be late Saturday into Sunday with a trough approaching from the
Northwest.
