Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
1231 AM CDT Mon Jul 26 2021

.UPDATE...
Issued at 641 PM CDT Sun Jul 25 2021

Updated for the 06z aviation discussion below.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday night)
Issued at 321 PM CDT Sun Jul 25 2021

Surface analysis this
afternoon shows high pressure atop MN/WI while a low pressure system
develops over eastern MT/WY with a wavy warm front extending eastward
across SD and NE. Aloft, generally zonal flow will persist, with a
slight ridge over the western CONUS and a departing trough over the
eastern CONUS.

As higher H5 heights over the western CONUS continues to shift east
through this evening, this will result in gradual warm air advection
and the advancement of the warm front to the east into far southwest
MN. Better moisture convergence along the front along with weak lift
but also increased shear due to veering winds with height may well
result in isolated/scattered showers and thunderstorms developing
over eastern SD this evening. This activity looks to push into west-
central and southwest MN later this evening into the early morning
hours. Obviously the loss of daytime heating may well diminish
coverage but the increased shear near the front combined with 1 or 2
shortwave disturbances riding ESE within the flow aloft may be enough
to create a few clusters of organized storms overnight which could
contain hail or gusty/damaging wind gusts. Chances are still low for
any precipitation development with PoPs capped at 30 percent but
should anything develop, there is a non-zero chance of it being
severe (hence the Marginal Risk). This activity will wane by around
sunrise, resulting in scattered upper level cloud cover for much of
the day tomorrow.

Going into Monday, the warm front will continue to nudge E across
southern MN during the day. However, another frontal boundary will
drop south over the western Great Lakes and northern-eastern MN
during the day, adding more synoptic elements in play for additional
convection Monday afternoon-evening. Continued warm air advection
plus increased moisture advection from the Four Corners region
enhancing instability and persistent veering-with-height winds will
still promote strong thunderstorm development. Sufficient lift with
lapse rates in the 6-8 deg C/km range may well be enough to produce
organized convection in the vicinity of the incoming cold front,
hence central MN into northwestern WI. Initial discrete cells may
contain a large hail hazard but later and better organization into
clusters going into Monday night may produce a damaging wind gust
threat. There's still plenty of uncertainty and conditional elements
that would need to come together to have severe weather develop, but
better confidence in at least the CAMs agreeing on thunderstorm
development in and of itself has forced PoPs to be nudged to 50-60
percent, particularly north of I-94.

As for temperatures/dewpoints, very little temperature difference is
expected between this afternoon and Monday afternoon as highs range
between the mid 80s to lower 90s. Same story with the lows, going
from the upper 50s to mid 60s tonight to 60-70 tomorrow night, owing
to the increase WAA. Dewpoints will take a very noticeable increase,
however. Starting from the mid 40s to lower 50s today, dewpoints will
increase to the low-mid 60s area-wide Monday afternoon, resulting in
more humid conditions returning to the area.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday)
Issued at 321 PM CDT Sun Jul 25 2021

The main forecast concern for the long term will be the threat of
dangerous heat and humidity Tuesday and Wednesday. Wednesday in
particular continues to look like it could end up being the warmest
day of the summer, with heat indices pushing up to 105 degrees or
warmer. The other forecast concern is the risk of pop up
thunderstorms Tuesday and Wednesday, with attendant risk of severe
weather if storms can initiate.

No surprises here but there has been little meaningful change in the
long range forecast. Tuesday and Wednesday, we'll be stuck on the
northeast fringe of the upper ridge centered over the Plains. As this
ridge intensifies, h5 heights will build over the area and keep us
in the heat and humidity. Tuesday night's lows will be some of the
warmest this year, likely in the mid 70s for the urban core of the
Twin Cities metro, and low 70s elsewhere. Highs should approach 95 to
100 for Twin Cities on south Wednesday afternoon along with dew
points pushing into the lower 70s. We'll likely see heat indices push
and exceed 105. There remains a few unknowns that could "bust" the
temperature forecast on Wednesday, If convective debris (cloud cover)
is left over from Tuesday night OR if the cold front that is
expected to move through Wednesday night is faster than currently
progged. Our current forecast would support an excessive heat warning
in the Twin Cities metro for Tuesday into Wednesday, with little
relief Tuesday night. For the rest of the area, we're currently
heading toward a heat advisory for Tuesday, followed by an excessive
heat warning for Wednesday for all but central MN. We'll need to
track how convection and leftover cloud cover may impact our
potential highs both days, along with the front and shortwave
dropping southward for wednesday.

For the rest of the period, northwest flow remains as the ridge axis
retrogrades to the west. Our temepratures cool, but only into the mid
and upper 80s. The major change will be another break in the
humidity as moisture is scoured out behind the front, along with dew
points in the 50s and lower 60s.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night)
Issued at 1230 AM CDT Mon Jul 26 2021

The main topic for the TAF is the complex of thunderstorms in western
MN, encroaching mainly on AXN and RWF at the moment. STC can also
expect to see showers or storms close in on the airport, which could
warrant an AMD as the TAF is currently dry. Otherwise, expect VFR
with mostly high clouds and a bit of smoke through much of the
period, with winds light tonight before increasing during the day
today with some 20-25kt gusts possible out of the SW. The only chance
for MVFR in the TAF would be thunderstorms directly over an airport,
otherwise VFR will remain.

KMSP...The expectation for the storms in western MN is for them to
continue to fire overnight along the moisture boundary that will stay
north of the cities, and thus keep MSP dry. However, there could be
some higher levels clouds of anvil activity that introduces some
lightning to the area, and we will be keeping a close eye on the
trends this morning.

/OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/
TUE...VFR. Wind SW 5-10kts bcmg SE.
WED...VFR. Chc SHRA/TSRA. Wind SW 10-15kts bcmg NW late.
THU...VFR. Winds N/NW 5-10kts.

1036 PM CDT Sun Jul 25 2021

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

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

There is a chance for thunderstorms overnight. A few storms could
produce large hail or damaging wind across western Minnesota.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday.

Dangerous levels of heat and humidity are expected Tuesday and
Wednesday across the entire coverage area. Afternoon heat indices
near 100 are expected over Minnesota on Tuesday, with values near
105 in Minnesota and 100 in western Wisconsin on Wednesday.

For Monday, a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms exists north of
Interstate 94 with much of the remainder of the area in a
Marginal Risk of severe thunderstorms.

For Tuesday, most of central Minnesota into west central
Minnesota will have a Marginal Risk of severe thunderstorms.

A better threat for severe weather may evolve on Wednesday
afternoon and evening with the passage of a cold front. In all
cases, strong damaging winds will be the primary severe threat,
with some large hail possible as well.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SKYWARN spotter activation will not be needed.
