Area forecast discussion, Sep 2, 2:21 PM CDT, 4 hours 14 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN 221 PM CDT Fri Sep 2 2022 .DISCUSSION...(This evening through Friday) Issued at 221 PM CDT Fri Sep 2 2022 KEY MESSAGES: - A few storms possible this evening across southern MN and WI. - Dry and cooler this weekend, then trending warmer than normal next week. At 2 PM this afternoon, the cold front was located from Duluth southwest to New Ulm and Sioux City. Temperatures have risen into the 80s area wide, with dew points in the mid to upper 60s ahead of the front. Cloud cover continues to decrease and there are yet no signs of cu development, indicative of convective initiation. Low level wind fields suggest the strongest frontal forcing is across northern and parts of western WI, where the best chance for a storm or two will be later today. CAMs are less and less optimistic for development this far west, thus reduced PoPs to low chance at best. Noticeably cooler and drier air will build in with high pressure this weekend. Highs in the 70s are expected both days with lows in the 40s, except low 50s in the metro. A couple readings in the 30s are possible, particularly in central MN and northwest WI. High pressure will settle from the Great Lakes to New England next week. With the jet stream remaining well to the north, quiet conditions will prevail (near zero PoP through Thursday) and temperatures will trend warmer than normal in the 80s. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Saturday afternoon) Issued at 1202 PM CDT Fri Sep 2 2022 VFR through the period. A cold front will shift winds from southwest to north later today and this evening. A few storms may develop near EAU this evening, but potential remains too low to introduce a prevailing or tempo group at the moment. KMSP...Any TS development should remain east later today, thus maintained a dry forecast with just a wind shift. /OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/ Sun...VFR. Wind E 5-10 kts. Mon...VFR. Wind SE 5-10 kts. Tue...VFR.
