What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind chill watch went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Twin Cities, MN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind chill watch went out at Jan 26, 11:54 PM CST, 4 hours 9 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 26, 11:54 PM CST, 4 hours 9 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
1154 PM CST Sat Jan 26 2019
.SHORT TERM...(This evening through early Sunday)
Issued at 300 PM CST Sat Jan 26 2019
Light snow has lingered over southern Minnesota and western
Wisconsin as a shortwave passes over the region. Have seen some
overachieving in snowfall amounts as the Arctic airmass has
allowed the DGZ to lower close enough to the surface to tap into
the shallow moisture. Behind this shortwave a narrow area of high
pressure will slide overhead tonight. Clearing skies and
relatively calm wind with the high will again allow for lows to
drop to -20 degrees across parts of central Minnesota, and -10 to
-20 across the rest of the area outside of the Twin Cities Metro.
The lack of wind should keep apparent temperatures fairly close to
the air temperature, but if wind speeds end up a few mph higher
than forecast a few areas with wind chills of -25 to -30 degrees
are not out of the question tomorrow morning.
High pressure tonight will be short lived as a potent clipper
dives out of the northern plains overnight. Accumulating is
expected to begin as early as sunrise across far-western
Minnesota, and overspread the area as the day goes on
.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Saturday)
Issued at 300 PM CST Sat Jan 26 2019
Accumulating snow followed by dangerously cold air. These ideas
have not changed with the models today and have in fact been
reinforced.
The synoptic idea remains generally the same. A potent clipper low
over western Saskatchewan province early Sunday morning will drop
into the western Dakotas Sunday evening then into Iowa Monday
morning before shifting into the Great Lakes by midday Monday.
Strong lift plus multiple sources of moisture available to the
system will effectively produce at least 6" of snow from Sunday
afternoon through midday Monday over nearly the entire WFO MPX
coverage area. Liquid QPF looks to be in the 0.40" to 0.50" range for
the entire coverage area. Working with snow ratios in the 16:1 to
20:1, snowfall amounts of 5" to 9" should be fairly simple to be
realized. With little shift in the models thru this morning and
the start of the snow roughly 24 hours out, confidence has
increased among our neighbors and us to upgrade the watches
already in place to warnings for all but a handful of southwestern
counties. If anything, snow amounts are marginally warning-worth
in our far northern tier of counties in central MN but would not
at all be surprised to see several 6+" amounts from Douglas over
to Kanabec counties while confidence is much higher in 6-9"
amounts over much of central thru east and southern MN into
western WI with this system.
This system will then eject out to the east during the day Monday.
On its heels is a roughly 1044mb high pressure area which will
also contain H85 air in the -35C to -40C range. Air this cold has
not been seen in nearly 20 years. This airmass will shift into the
Upper Mississippi River Valley Tuesday afternoon and remain in
place through Thursday before some relative "warming" takes place
for the end of the week. Wednesday morning lows and afternoon
highs continue to be the coldest in the forecast. Morning lows for the
WFO MPX area are still ranging -25F to -30F while highs run -10F
to -20F. This is not factoring in wind chills. With NW winds in
the 10-20mph range, wind chills will easily drop to -40F to -50F
with some -50F to -60F possible even into central MN. Wind chills
during the day on Wednesday will run -35F to -45F, dangerously
cold no matter the time of day.
The high pressure airmass will then slide off to the east which
will allow highs to climb into the positive single digits on
Friday then into the double digits above zero on Saturday.
