The local office's own words before the first event, 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 the first event at Jun 13, 2:50 PM CST, 5 hours 40 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN 350 PM CDT MON JUN 13 2005 .DISCUSSION... A GREAT DEAL OF INGREDIENTS COMING TOGETHER ACROSS MUCH OF THE MPX CWA FOR A SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK. DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS INCREASING FROM WEST CENTRAL MINNESOTA SOUTHEAST INTO CENTRAL IOWA ON THE SPC HOURLY MESOANALYSIS PAGE...A REFLECTION OF UPPER LEVEL JET STREAM ROTATING AROUND THE BASE OF A NEGATIVE TILT TROUGH AND EJECTING NORTHWARD TOWARD OR AREA. CAPE BUILDUP HAS BEEN SLOW TODAY...REFLECTING CLOUD COVER FROM CONVECTION THAT PASSED THROUGH EARLIER THIS MORNING...BUT VERY HIGH VALUES OF 0-3 KM CAPE (I.E. 100-150J/KG) CAN BE SEEN WORKING NORTHWARD UP THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY (AGAIN SPC PAGE) AS WELL AS OVER NORTHWEST IOWA AND SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA (ALSO 100-150 J/KG). 0-1 KM BULK SHEAR AND 0-3 KM VGP PARAMETERS ARE NOT PARTICULARLY HIGH...BUT BOTH RUC40 AND NAM40 ARE FORECASTING A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN SAME THROUGH 00 GMT. FIRING CONVECTION WILL NO DOUBT INCREASE 0-1 KM BULK SHEAR AS OUTFLOW FROM FIRING STORMS BACKS THE WIND FIELD DUE TO SAGGING OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. SURFACE LOW HAS VERY LOW CNTRAL PRESSURE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR...SO THE SYNOPTIC CLIMATOLOGY FOR THIS EVENT SUGGESTS A SIGNIFICANT TORNADO RISK (I.E. F2 AND ABOVE STRENGTH). WE WILL STAY WITH THE FLOOD WATCH OVER OUR NORTHWEST COUNTIES...BUT BEST DEFORMATION ZONE LIFTING HAS PROGRESSED NORTH AND WEST OF THESE COUNTIES AS SEEN ON MOISTURE CHANNEL LOOP. REMAINDER OF GRIDS REFLECT MOVING PRECIPITATION EASTWARD OUT OF MINNESOTA TUESDAY NIGHT AND OUT OF OUR WISCONSIN COUNTIES BY NOON WEDNESDAY. LONGER TERM...THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY LAST FEW RUNS OF THE GFS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT ON SLOWLY BUILDING WARM UPPER RIDGE OVER THE CWA FOR THIS PERIOD. GIVEN RUN TO RUN CONTINUITY...CONFIDENCE IS HIGH IN A WARM DRY PERIOD. THIS WAS ALREADY INDICATED ON THE MID SHIFT...SO ONLY MINOR CHANGES MADE TO EXISTING GRIDS. MIN MAX TEMPERATURES ARE CONSISTENT WITH 13/00Z MEX GUIDANCE. && .MPX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .MN...FLOOD WATCH...W CNTRL MN THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. .WI...NONE. && WET/NAISTAT
