Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
617 AM CDT Sun Aug 17 2025

.KEY MESSAGES...

- Ongoing line of thunderstorms will lead to localized and/or flash
flooding through sunrise.

- Showers and thunderstorms possible this afternoon and evening,
with strong wind gusts the primary concern.

- Quiet weather returns after Monday.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 239 AM CDT Sun Aug 17 2025

An ongoing line of showers and thunderstorms over portions of
southern Minnesota has already led to a few Flash Flood Warnings,
with rainfall rates exceeding 1 inch per hour in spots with up to 3
inches already on the ground and another 1 to 3 inches possible
through the next 4 to 5 hours. High resolution guidance this morning
favors very slow northwards movement of the line of showers and
storms which is most evident in the western cluster, with showers
and storms weakening as the thermal gradient loosens by sunrise.
PWATs per RAP/SPC mesoanalysis around 2 inches are present which
will continue to fuel the ongoing activity and also keep any severe
weather concerns such as hail on the lower end of probability.
MUCAPE continues to sit around 2000-2500 J/KG with weak deep layer
shear, pointing towards continued slow moving storms with a
relatively low risk of severe level threats. Other than a few strong
wind gusts, localized and flash flooding are the most likely
outcomes from this line of storms alongside the frequent lightning.
Redevelopment of showers and storms is possible by midday as daytime
heating replenishes instability and shear increases due to the
positioning of the surface frontal boundaries ahead of the surface
low which looks to move through overnight into Monday. Forcing looks
to be relatively weak despite the present of a frontal boundary,
mainly due to the de-coupling of the shortwave trough with the upper
level jet, with a strengthening low level jet being the primary
forcing mechanism overnight.

The warm front is expected to lift northwards as the surface low
tracks northeast towards central to northern Minnesota by Monday
morning, with the cold front stalling over western Minnesota around
12z Monday before moving through during the day. The cold front will
present the final chance for showers and storms for the period with
better shear allowing for the potential for rotating updrafts unlike
the weaker sheared environment that preceded it. By Monday evening,
the cold front will be pushing through southeastern Minnesota with
the surface low over western WI, ending our shower and storm chances
by that point. Tuesday and the days that follow will see
northwesterly flow aloft alongside surface high pressure and
subsidence, which should keep conditions much quieter compared to
the previous few days. Temperatures will remain seasonal in the
upper 70s to low 80s with sunshine returning, with the trajectory of
upper level winds looking to avoid the worst of the Canadian
wildfires which have tarnished some of the potential better weather
days over the last month.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 614 AM CDT Sun Aug 17 2025

Ongoing -RA/-TSRA over RWF/MKT will gradually weaken and move
out around 15-16z with redevelopment for all locations generally
after 21z. CAMs have struggled to maintain timing this morning
with the most recent runs trending later with -TSRA timing later
today. MVFR/IFR continues due to CIGs as we will not scatter out
until after the -SHRA/-TSRA is done after the end of the period.
Winds will be blustery early before weakening, with -TSRA wind
gusts potentially required within the TEMPO groups with future
TAF issuance.

KMSP...Low MVFR should gradually improve with a slight rise in
cloud levels through the afternoon, returning to lower MVFR as
-RA/-TSRA arrives after 00z. The timing is still uncertain but
 the TEMPO group from 03 to 07z is the current window for the
 greatest -TSRA impacts.

/OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/
MON...VFR, chc MVFR/-TSRA. Wind S to NW 5-15kts.
TUE...VFR. Wind NE 5-10kts.
WED...VFR. Wind NE 5kts.
