NWS Twin Cities, MN wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 5, 3:00 AM CST, 10 hours 34 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN 400 AM CDT SUN JUN 5 2005 .DISCUSSION... CONVECTION CURRENTLY MOVING ACROSS THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF OUR FORECAST AREA IS AHEAD OF A WELL DEFINED CIRCULATION CENTER SEEN ON SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE RUC MODEL SHOWS THAT THIS CONVECTION IS ALSO IN AN AREA OF UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE. THIS DIVERGENCE IS FORECAST BY THE 06Z NAM12 MODEL TO MOVE NORTHEAST TO JUST NORTH OF THE TWIN CITIES METROPOLITAN AREA BY 12Z. THE CURRENT TREND ON SATELLITE IMAGERY SUPPORTS THIS SCENARIO. THE ABOVE MENTIONED CIRCULATION CENTER IS FORECAST BY THE NAM MODEL TO REACH SOUTH CENTRAL MINNESOTA AT MIDDAY THEN MOVE JUST NORTH OF RICE LAKE...WISCONSIN BY 00Z. THE CHANCE OF CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST TODAY AS THIS FEATURE MOVES THROUGH. A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING FAIR WEATHER ACROSS OUR COUNTY WARNING AREA MONDAY WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES DECREASING TO 0.75 INCH...ACCORDING TO THE GFS MODEL. STRONG LOW TO MID LEVEL WARM ADVECTION IS FORECAST TO SPREAD BACK ACROSS THE REGION STARTING MONDAY NIGHT. PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO SOAR BACK TO 1.8 INCHES TUESDAY. THE NAM12 MODEL STRONGLY HINTS AT A STATIONARY FRONT SETTING UP FROM WEST TO EAST ACROSS SOUTHERN MINNESOTA MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS COULD SET THE STAGE FOR SIGNIFICANT WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION. NAM MODEL DATA ON BUFKIT SHOWS THAT THE WARM AIR COULD CAP THE CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL TUESDAY. A TYPICAL SCENARIO WOULD BE FOR THE CAP TO BREAK TUESDAY NIGHT RESULTING IN THE BEST CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS. LONGER TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT INITIALLY...NARROW THICKNESS RIDGE POKING ACROSS MPX CWA FROM THE CENTRAL PLAIN STATES WITH 570 TO 574 THICKNESSES. THIS FEATURE BROADENS OUT AS IT SLIDES EASTWARD INTO NEW ENGLAND WITH THICKNESS COOLING OF 60 TO 120 METERS INTO THE WEEKEND. SYNOPTIC PATTERN OVER THIS FOUR DAY PERIOD INDICATES MARITIME TROPICAL AIR WILL BE OVER OR JUST SOUTH OF OUR REGION WHICH SUGGESTS AT LEAST COME CHANCE OF CONVECTION OVER THE SAME TIME FRAME. ALTHOUGH IT SOUNDS LIKE A BROKEN RECORD...THERE WILL BE A 30 PERCENT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER MOST OF THE FOUR DAY PERIOD. HIGH MEAN RELATIVE HUMIDITY INDICATED BY GFS ON WEDNESDAY APPEARS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH A SHORT WAVE PASSING THROUGH THE AREA WITHIN A BROAD BAND OF SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT. GIVEN OUR FORECAST THICKNESSES...IF SUCH A TRANSIENT FEATURE FAILS TO MATERIALIZE...OUR MAXIMUM TEMPERATURES WILL PROVE TO BE 10 TO 15 DEGREES TOO LOW. ALSO...OUR MINIMUM TEMPERATURES MAY VERY WELL BE TOO LOW FOR THE AIRMASS THAT ENDS UP OVER THE AREA AND MAY HAVE TO BE RAISED LATER...HOWEVER THIS IS WHAT SURROUNDING OFFICES APPEAR TO BE COMFORTABLE WITH AT THIS POINT. && .MPX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... .MN...NONE. .WI...NONE. &&
