Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
341 PM CDT Sat Jul 22 2023

.DISCUSSION...(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 341 PM CDT Sat Jul 22 2023

KEY MESSAGES:

- Scattered thunderstorms will continue through the early evening;
  one or two storms may be severe.

- A dangerous heatwave still appears likely by the middle of next
  week, but the possibility of thunderstorms adds additional
  complexity.

Scattered thunderstorms have formed along an outflow boundary,
roughly along I-94, left from a cluster of thunderstorms that headed
across northern MN this morning. Another area of storms is developing
along the cold front across southwest MN. Coverage is expected to
increase during the next couple hours as storms track southeast. A
few cells have exhibited near severe hail and the environment is
favorable for a couple storms to briefly become severe into the early
evening. The shortwave will slide east this evening and skies will
clear, leaving a tranquil overnight with light winds.

The focus for the rest of the forecast period is the building heat
through the middle to latter parts of next week. The overall pattern
across the CONUS won't change much during this time, but the
northeastern trough will lift out and allow the heat dome to spread
northeastward to the Upper Midwest. Temperatures will build each
day, but will peak Wednesday and Thursday with strong thermal
ridging overhead. Highs in the mid to upper 90s still appear likely.
Dew points in the 60s to low 70s will bring the hottest heat indices
of the year which could approach 105 in some spots. The caveat to all
of this, as is always the case with extreme heat around here, is the
potential for thunderstorms. With the ridge still centered well off
to the southwest over the Rockies, a number of weak waves could
traverse the northern U.S. midweek and tap into a well-mixed,
uncapped atmosphere. Diurnal storms are possible. With the mid level
jet remaining well to the north, the prospects of an MCS that could
wipe out a day of heat seems unlikely attm.

By next weekend, the ridge will flatten and allow a surface front to
sag south, bringing cooler air and increased chances for
thunderstorms.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon)
Issued at 1226 PM CDT Sat Jul 22 2023

Cluster of TS over northwest WI continues to track southeast midday.
It should bypass RNH, but could build into EAU during the next couple
hours. Otherwise, additional scattered showers and storms should
develop during the early afternoon, peaking in coverage mid to late
afternoon across eastern MN and western WI. Light winds and clearing
skies to follow tonight.

KMSP...TS is possible any time this afternoon, but the current
satellite trends of benign CU suggest the best TEMPO window will be
mid to late afternoon.

/OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/
SUN...VFR. Wind NW 5-10 kts.
MON...VFR. Wind S 10-15 kts.
TUE...VFR. Wind SE 10-15 kts.
