Area forecast discussion, Jun 30, 6:49 PM CDT, 5 hours 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN 649 PM CDT Sun Jun 30 2019 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday night) Issued at 247 PM CDT Sun Jun 30 2019 The convective complex of showers and thunderstorms stabilized at least the central/eastern portion of the forecast area, but will be keeping a close eye on storms that develop over west/south central MN this afternoon and evening given the high instability that remains there. Tonight we expect a more concentrated area of storms to move into west/central MN from South Dakota, as a mid-level shortwave intersects the quasi-stationary frontal boundary. The primary threat will transition to heavy rain as strong low-level moisture transport noses into the area and storms potentially train along the boundary. Given precipitable water values and progged QPF, it appears that a 2-4 inch band of rain is possible somewhere in central MN. However, at this point do not have enough confidence on where that would setup so have held off on a flash/flood watch for now. On Monday shower and thunderstorm chances will continue with the stalled front over southern MN and continued ripples passing the westerly mid-level flow regime. The threat for strong/severe storms will still exist from southern MN into west central WI, particularly with afternoon/evening destabilization in the warm sector. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 247 PM CDT Sun Jun 30 2019 Few changes were made in the long term forecast period. On Tuesday, the front finally shifts south into Iowa as a weak cold front pushes south from Canada. Shower and thunderstorms would be more scattered in nature, but can't be ruled out given the continued presence of weak mid-level impulses. Wednesday through Friday could end up being active with showers and thunderstorms, given progs of another frontal passage and several shortwaves. Spatial/temporal confidence is low, however. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday evening) Issued at 649 PM CDT Sun Jun 30 2019 Clusters of showers and thunderstorms are ongoing across South Dakota and northeastern Iowa. The activity to the west will build eastward this evening and overnight, setting up the risk for heavy rainfall and thunderstorm redevelopment for all the TAF sites, but especially near RWF-MSP-RNH-EAU. A break is expected later Monday morning, but additional storms will develop again Monday afternoon. KMSP...Not much to be concerned about this evening, but overnight the thunder threat will increase near or after 08Z. Should see a break for most of Monday, but storms may return by mid afternoon. /OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/ Tue-Thu...VFR. Chc MVFR/TSRA. Winds LGT and VRB. && .MPX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WI...None. MN...None. && SHORT TERM...LS LONG TERM...LS AVIATION...BORGHOFF
