.SHORT TERM...(Today through Thursday)
Issued at 314 AM CDT Wed Mar 20 2019

Surface analysis early this morning shows a weak low pressure
center over southwest Ontario province with a cold front extending
westward over southern Manitoba province. A secondary low pressure
center remains well to the south over Missouri. Aloft, generally
northwesterly flow prevails atop the north-central CONUS while
each aforementioned low pressure center has a compact shortwave
trough atop it. The northern low will track south southeast into
the Great Lakes, dragging its associated cold front south across
MN/WI. No precipitation is expected for the vast majority of the
WFO MPX coverage area, with the only exception being far interior
west-central WI where a few isolated rain/snow showers are
possible during the first half of the day today. The two low
pressure centers, along with their respective upper level
shortwave troughs, are expected to merge east of the Mississippi
River later this afternoon while high pressure slides in behind
the departing systems. Surface high pressure with northwest flow
aloft, the leading edge of a sharp incoming ridge axis, will
prevail tonight through tomorrow with gradually decreasing cloud
cover. Another cold front is expected to drop through the region
late Thursday but this will be of little to no consequence. Highs
will remain in the 40s both Wednesday and Thursday with lows
remaining in the 20s.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Tuesday)
Issued at 314 AM CDT Wed Mar 20 2019

Deep ridging builds into the central US for the end of the week
ushering in our first spring warm up and continuing our run of dry
weather. While models have backed off on the 850 mb temperatures
under the ridge axis, we still look to warm into the upper 40s
Friday and mid 50s saturday under plenty of sunshine.
Temperatures Sunday also look to approach 50, albeit under cloudy
skies and with possible precipitation. Low temperatures look to
remain below freezing Friday and Saturday morning, ideal for
halting the snow melt overnight, but will stay above freezing
Sunday ahead of the next possible chance for precipitation. These
above normal temperatures along with dewpoints increasing above
freezing Saturday and Sunday will really accelerate the spring
snowmelt, especially across western Minnesota and northwest
Wisconsin where snow depths of 20+ inches still remain. Flood
warnings are already out for many area rivers, and rises are only
expected to increase over the weekend.

As mentioned previously, precipitation chances return Sunday as a
shortwave approaches from the northern plains. There continues to
be discrepancies in the handling of this wave with the GFS being
stronger and producing more precipitation over the area, and the
ECMWF/CMC weaker with the bulk of the precipitation farther south.
Even if models trend towards the stronger solution on the GFS,
precipitation amounts remain under 0.5" so not expecting the
potential for heavy precipitation out of this system. Temperatures
drop behind this system as a cold front drags south across the
upper Midwest, and rain changing over to a rain snow/mix can't be
ruled out Sunday evening if precipitation is still occurring.
Temperatures will be cooler on Monday, but still seasonable for
late March, before another warm up midweek as ridging again builds
into the central US.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning)
Issued at 629 AM CDT Wed Mar 20 2019

VFR conditions to generally prevail at all sites throughout this
TAF set but there will be lowering ceilings throughout the day
with the approach and passage of a cold front from the north.
Ceilings will mainly stay in the mid-levels just within VFR
levels, but with the WI TAF sites closer to the main low
associated with the cold front, both RNH and EAU may be
susceptible to MVFR ceilings late this afternoon. Ceilings will
then dissipate this evening behind the frontal passage with only
FEW-SCT clouds left for tonight. W to NW sustained winds will
increase to near 15kt by midday with gusts to around 25kt. Speeds
will settle down this evening through tonight.

KMSP...No additional weather concerns.

/OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/
Fri...VFR. Wind N 5-10 kts.
Sat...VFR. Wind S 5-10 kts.
Sun...MVFR likely, IFR possible. Chance -RA. Wind SE 5-10kt

Flooding continues along the Mississippi, Minnesota, Crow,
Redwood, Cottonwood and Cannon Rivers. Flooding of smaller creeks
and streams along with ponding of water over roads remains
possible.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday

Warming temperatures this week will increase the rate of snow
melt and increase the possibility for ice jam flooding on area
rivers. Well-above normal temperatures over the weekend will mark
the beginning of widespread spring snowmelt flooding, with rises
on area rivers expected.
