...EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM TO 10 PM CDT
FRIDAY...

The National Weather Service in Twin Cities/Chanhassen has issued
an Excessive Heat Warning, which is in effect from 11 AM to 10 PM
CDT Friday. The Excessive Heat Watch is no longer in effect. 

* TEMPERATURE...High temperatures in the mid to upper 90s will 
  combine with high humidity to yield dangerous heat indices on 
  Friday. Peak heat indices in the 100 to 110 range appear 
  possible. 

* IMPACTS...Heat illnesses are possible for those active 
  outdoors or those susceptible to heat illnesses, such as 
  children and the elderly. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Take extra precautions...if you work or spend time outside. When
possible...reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or
evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat
stroke. Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing when
possible and drink plenty of water.

   To reduce risk during outdoor work...the occupational safety
and health administration recommends scheduling frequent rest
breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome
by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location.   Heat
stroke is an emergency...call 9 1 1.

   An Excessive Heat Warning means that a prolonged period of
dangerously hot temperatures will occur. The combination of hot
temperatures and high humidity will combine to create a dangerous
situation in which heat illnesses are likely. Drink plenty of

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
1106 PM CDT Wed Jun 27 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)
Issued at 320 PM CDT Wed Jun 27 2018

Main concern near term is convective potential to the northwest
during the evening and then again into Thursday.

Latest SPC mesoanalysis shows a narrow corridor of cape over 1000
J/kg over the northwest cwa. The HRRR continue to generate some
isolated convection into that region of the area though about
00z. Covergence is weak along surface boundary and believe little
in the way of development should occur. We will hold onto the
slight chance PoP through the rest of the afternoon. Clouds do
appear more cumuliform over the area so we should see erosion
this evening. Along with light winds and higher dewpoints we
should see some fog develop later tonight. THis may linger into
early Thursday morning. Still a question as to how widespread it
will be and will mention patchy/areas of fog late mainly to the
east.

Some instability return into the day Thursday with various HIRES
models develop some isolated convection developing mainly Thursday
afternoon. This lifts north and weakens by evening. We will hold
onto the slight chance PoP for this possibility as well.
Temperatures should warm through the 80s.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 320 PM CDT Wed Jun 27 2018

Heat...heavy rain and severe weather threats return mainly Friday
through Saturday.

Models in general agreement with MCS development over North
Dakota Thursday night and traveling into northern MN late. This
may affect mainly the northern fringe of central MN zones. Mid
level warming is quite impressive with the GFS driving +14c to
+16c 700 mb temperatures ahead of the surface cold front and upper
trough into Friday. This should limit overall convective
potential into Friday evening. High temperatures should warm
through the mid 90s ahead of the front. The ground remains very
moist so it may be difficult to attain the century mark. With
forecast dewpoints in the low to mid 70s, heat indices will likely
exceed 105F in a few locations Friday afternoon. Confidence level
for heat headlines continues to increase and will likely be
issued with the next forecast package.

The severe weather threat will remain Friday night with high CAPE
values forecast and increasing shear as the upper trough
approaches. Both the GFS and ECMWF trend a short wave into the
area Friday night and will likely be strong enough to erode the
mid level cap. Timing could be tricky however, and trends of
clouds and any convective outflow will modulate overall severe
weather threat through Saturday. Does appear the front may have
slowed some and is progged only into central MN by Saturday
morning. This should allow for redevelopment of convection into
the afternoon, barring significant MCS earlier.

Along with severe weather, heavy rain will also be a good
likelihood with PW's 2-3 standard deviations above normal with
the system. Will have to continue to monitor flood potential
through the weekend. The front should exit the area Sunday which
could linger into Monday. Blended guidance continues to trend
rather wet into next week. The models to diverge on timing of
western trough movement into Wednesday however. The cwa will
remain near the surface front/baroclinic zone which should stall
south over Iowa into next week. It will lift back north again into
midweek and should focus increasing convective threat into at
least the first half of the week.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday night)
Issued at 1106 PM CDT Wed Jun 27 2018

Mostly VFR. Some patchy fog may develop east of I-35 overnight where
winds will be light with clear skies persisting for most of the
night. Some showers or storms may build toward western MN late
tonight, but confidence and coverage are low enough to keep them
from the TAFs for now.

KMSP...No additional concerns.

/OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/
FRI...VFR. TSRA possible overnight. Wind SW 15G30kts.
SAT...MVFR possible. Occasional TSRA. Wind WSW 5-10kts.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of central and
southern Minnesota...and west central Wisconsin.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Flooding will continue along the Minnesota River and its
tributaries. Please refer to the Minnesota Department of
Transportation for any road closures due to flooding.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday

Heat and humidity will build into the end of the week, peaking on
Friday, when dangerous heat indices above 100 degrees are likely.
The heat and humidity will be accompanied by an increasing threat
for thunderstorms, possibly severe, with heavy rainfall. At this
time the highest chance for severe storms looks to be on Friday
evening and Saturday. In addition to heavy rainfall, the main
threats would be large hail and damaging winds.

River flooding will continue along the Minnesota River and its
tributaries through the week. Please refer to the Minnesota
Department of Transportation for any road closures due to
flooding.
