NDCWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning 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 river flood warning went out at May 13, 1:56 PM CDT, 54 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 13, 1:56 PM CDT, 54 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN 156 PM CDT Fri May 13 2022 .DISCUSSION...(Today through Thursday) Issued at 238 AM CDT Fri May 13 2022 Key Messages: - A quiet day is expected for Friday with lingering showers in southern MN weakening and moving out of the area by the mid to late morning. - A few small chances for storms in the coming week, but generally quiet with a stretch of cooler weather after Sunday. Today and Saturday: The surface low and upper level trough which produced the forcing for our severe weather today is expected to advect northwards into central Canada over the next 30-36 hours, with sensible weather dissipating as the last of the showers exit our coverage are by later this morning. Dry weather continues through Saturday as the system continues to lift northwards with zonal upper level flow over the Upper Mississippi Valley becoming the norm. Temperatures for the entire period will be warmest today and tomorrow with mid to upper 70s expected throughout the area as skies clear out today and remain sunny for Saturday. Winds will be somewhat breezy but quite low compared to much of our spring at 10-15mph with some occasional 20-25mph gusts, with a wind shift from west to northwest arriving on Sunday as the cold front from the departing and northward moving system finally swings across the area. Sunday through Thursday: A slight chance for some showers and thunderstorms will arrive on Sunday afternoon as the cold front swings through, with no major severe weather activity expected for now. Temperatures will take a dive afterwards with highs throughout the rest of the week struggling to get out of the mid 60s with lows in the upper 40s to lower 50s. A few more chances for thunderstorms will arrive Tuesday night with on and off chances through Thursday as zonal flow couples with a few shortwaves to provide some forcing, with the best chance arriving on Thursday as a strong LLJ and h850 WAA provide a better storm environment compared to the other days of the week. Synoptic scale models beyond the period continue to point towards below normal temperatures overall, however at this point in May we are talking about 50s for lows and 60s for highs which is still a welcome change from what we experienced in April. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon) Issued at 141 PM CDT Fri May 13 2022 We'll see breezy southwest winds today die down overnight with direction heading toward the SSE. As mixing picks up Saturday morning, we'll see winds turn back to the west. Nothing more than some passing high clouds are expected. KMSP...We'll have cross winds today, but winds will favor something to the north of 210 through the day, with a southerly wind expected after traffic slows down tonight. Look for a more westerly wind Saturday. /OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/ SUN...VFR. Wind W 10-15 kts. MON...VFR. Wind NW 10-15g25 kts. TUE...VFR. Chc MVFR/-SHRA overnight.
