What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this winter storm 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 winter storm warning went out at Jan 8, 3:15 AM CST, 5 minutes earlier. Its key messages:

  • Snow arrives today, lingers through much of Tuesday. Highest accumulations in SW/S MN, western WI.
  • Another chance for light snow Wednesday night, with a larger system arriving in the region Friday into Saturday. Right now this system looks to stay south and east of the area, with lesser impacts for us.
  • Significant temperature drop behind weekend system, with single digit highs and sub-zero lows possible next week.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 314 AM CST Mon Jan 8 2024

Now through Tuesday...
Satellite this morning shows the broad extent of the incoming
system with high level clouds on the nighttime microphysics RGB
extended from the UP of Michigan all the way to Oklahoma and
everywhere in between. This layer of clouds is present within a
broad area of synoptic scale forcing due to a deep trough over
the central CONUS, with a surface low spinning up in response as
the trough occludes over the central plains before pushing
northeastwards towards the Great Lakes. A broad area of snowfall
will form around the surface low itself, however we already see
an area of snowfall over southwestern Minnesota displaced from
the main trough in an area of CVA and falling heights ahead of
the trough. The returns in southwestern MN are expected to
slowly increase in coverage and spread northeast towards the
remainder of the MPX CWA throughout the day today, with the
heaviest snow falling through the afternoon in southwestern MN.
As the day progresses, the southern portion of the trough will
occlude with a strong surface low forming over Oklahoma, with
the center of the low eventually pushing towards the southern
Great Lakes. As the surface low and occlusion move eastwards,
the shield of precipitation will continue to rotate over
southern Minnesota and portions of western Wisconsin through
around midday Tuesday before tapering off as the system
continues to push eastwards. Snow ratios are going to be
climatological in the 12 to 15 to 1 for most of the event based
on the thermal and moisture profile, which will result in at
least a couple inches of accumulation for much of the area as
the highest amounts favor southern Minnesota and western
Wisconsin. Snowfall tapers off on Tuesday with a brief break
before another light snow event stemming from a quick moving
trough on Wednesday.

Wednesday through this weekend...
A quick moving shortwave will produce another round of mainly
cosmetic snow Wednesday, with a larger system still looking
likely towards the end of the week. Guidance continues to
suggest the late week system tracks in a similar way to the
short-term system, with a stronger trough taking on a negative
tilt and a surface low forming in response and moving towards
the Great Lakes much like the near- term. While details are
still are still needing to be resolved, for now it looks like we
once again miss the strongest part of the system while still
receiving a decent amount of snow across much of the area. Until
now, deterministic and ensemble guidance has suggested a
powerful system with strong winds producing another decently
sized snowfall event, however until we see a bit more temporal
and spatial continuity the details will remain vague. The main
consequence of the system which has been well forecast and
consistent over the last few days is a significant cooldown
after the weekend, with single digit highs and below zero lows
next week.

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z TUESDAY/...
Issued at 1046 PM CST Sun Jan 7 2024

Going TAFs look to be in good shape with respect to the
developing band of snow over northeast Neb. There has been a
trend toward being a little less aggressive with the eastward
extent of the initial band of snow that moves north, which does
cast some doubt as to whether or not MSP & especially RNH get
into it. Otherwise, few changes were made to the going TAFs.

KMSP...Kept the late Monday morning snow threat going, though
this may be something that only lasts for an hour before moving
on. Main period of snow looks to begin between 2z and 6z
Tuesday (8pm-midnight Monday evening CST). Light snow looks to
continue just beyond this TAF period Tuesday morning. Oh, it is
still looking like another 30 hours of MVFR/IFR cigs.

/OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/
Tue...MVFR. Chc IFR/-SN early. Wind N 15G25 kts.
Wed...MVFR likely. Chc IFR/-SN late. Wind NW 5-10 kts bcmg SW.
Thu...MVFR likely. Chc IFR/-SN early. Wind WNW 5-10 kts.
