AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN 604 AM CDT TUE AUG 28 2007 .AVIATION... /12Z TAF ISSUANCE/ SFC FRONT FROM SW MN THROUGH THE TWIN CITIES TO NORTHERN WI ATTM. WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTHERN MN WILL SLIDE NE ALONG THE FRONT TODAY. ELEVATED INSTABILITY A PROBLEM BY LATE MORNING THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS...ENDING AT KMSP AND KEAU THIS EVENING. BIG PROBLEM THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD WILL BE CEILINGS UNDER A 1000 FEET SINKING SLOWLY SOUTH FROM CENTRAL MN BEHIND THE SURFACE FRONT. SOME IMPROVEMENT FORECAST FOR KAXN AND KSTC...BUT SAME PROBLEM MAY REAPPEAR AT KRWF...KMSP AND KEAU FOR A TIME TONIGHT. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 213 AM CDT TUE AUG 28 2007/ CONVECTION FINALLY BEGINNING TO GET A LITTLE MORE INTERESTING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING. LINE OF STORMS HAS GENERALLY DEVELOPED ON THE CYCLONIC SHEAR SIDE OF AN INCREASING LOW LEVEL JET...ON THE WEST AND NORTH SIDE OF THE MID LEVEL CAP. SURFACE LOW AND ATTENDANT FRONTAL BOUNDARY ARE GENERALLY BISECTING THE FORECAST AREA...FROM NEAR REDWOOD FALLS TO NEW RICHMOND. LAPS DCAPES DEFINITELY FAVORING A WIND THREAT...WITH THE LINEAR NATURE OF THE CONVECTION CONFIRMING SUCH. WE CANNOT RULE OUT THE HAIL THREAT EITHER...WITH LAPSE RATES UPSTAIRS AROUND 8C/KM. COLD FRONT WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH THROUGH MINNESOTA/WESTERN WISCONSIN THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS...BECOMING QUASI STATIONARY OVER CENTRAL WISCONSIN...SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA...AND INTO NORTHERN IOWA. LATEST MODEL DATA ACTUALLY SUGGEST AN INCREASE IN ALREADY HIGH PWATS...SUGGESTING A CONTINUED HEAVY RAIN THREAT ALONG THE BOUNDARY. AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THAT THE HEAVIEST RAIN WILL FALL SOUTH OF THE FORECAST AREA...BUT LOCALES ALONG THE I-90 CORRIDOR...WHICH HAVE SEEN PLENTY OF RAIN OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS...COULD STILL BE VERY SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLOODING UNTIL THE FRONT MOVES AWAY LATER TONIGHT. VERY POTENT SURFACE HIGH WILL SLIDE INTO THE FORECAST AREA...ALLOWING US A FEW DRY DAYS...AS WELL AS COOL TEMPERATURES. && .MPX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MN...NONE. WI...NONE. && RAH/KAT
