AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN 337 PM CDT FRI JUN 25 2010 .DISCUSSION... CONCERNS REVOLVE AROUND THE SEVERE THREAT BOTH THIS EVENING AND AGAIN SATURDAY EVENING. STORMS ARE STARTING TO FIRE NORTH OF THE STRONG CAPE/MULI GRADIENT OVER EASTERN SD AND WEST CENTRAL MN...AND NEAR THE EDGE OF +12 700 MB TEMP. STRONG WARM ADVECTION AND MOISTURE TRANSPORT INTO THIS BOUNDARY AND GRADIENT WILL EVENTUALLY DEVELOP AN MCS TRACKING ESE ACROSS MAINLY SOUTHERN MN, EARLY ON...SUPER CELLS LIKELY IN THE AREA OF STRONG PRESS FALLS CO-LOCATED WITH THE VERY UNSTABLE REGIME IN SW MN AND EASTERN SD. THOUGHT ABOUT A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR PARTS OF THE SOUTH BUT THE COMPLEX SHOULD MOVE ALONG QUICKLY BUT CERTAINLY WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF 2+ INCH LOCALIZED RAIN. MAY NEED SOME FLOOD STATEMENTS THOUGH. THERE ARE STILL SOME DIFFERENCES IN THE GUIDANCE TRENDS FOR LATER SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. WONDER IF THE GFS IS A LITTLE ROBUST WITH THE SUB 1000 MB LOW MOVING/DEVELOPING INTO THE AREA. PREFER MORE OF A NAM /SREF SOLUTION WITH A BOUNDARY AND WEAKER LOW OVER SOUTHERN MN. WILL DEPEND AGAIN ON HOW FAR SOUTH ANY OUTFLOWS END UP TONIGHT. THE UPPER JET MAY ALLOW MORE OF PROLONGED RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OVER THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT...WHICH COULD BE A RISK FOR HEAVY RAIN. HAVE ALSO OUTLINED AN AREA OF SEVERE OVER SOUTHERN MN LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE ON TRACK TO EXIT THE AREA ON SUNDAY. THE BUILDING UPPER RIDGE STILL LOOKS TO GIVE US DRY WEATHER FOR MOST OF NEXT WEEK. THE NAEFS METEOGRAMS AND GEFS POP FIELDS SHOW A DECENT DRY PERIOD AS WELL. && .AVIATION.../18Z TAF ISSUANCE/ WARM FRONT SEEMS TO BE DRAPED FROM EC SD ACROSS SRN MN... THROUGH THERE IS SOME INDICATION OF BOUNDARY ALSO ACROSS CENTRAL MN PER SPC MESOANALYSIS. SHOWERS GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH/EAST OF COOLER MID LEVEL TEMPS. FOR AVIATION PURPOSES...LOOKS LIKE SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE FROM AXN/STC INTO WISC INTO MID AFTERNOON WITH A FEW ISOLATED STORMS...THEN MUCH BETTER CHANCE OF THUNDER THROUGH MID EVENING...TAPERING OFF FROM WEST TO EAST. RESIDUAL MOISTURE AND LIGHT WINDS COULD BRING SOME MVFR CIGS AND VSBYS SATURDAY MORNING... ESPECIALLY TO CENTRAL MN INTO WISC SITES. KMSP...THERE IS A SMALL CHANCE OF THUNDER THE NEXT FEW HOURS BUT PROBABILITY IS MUCH LOWER THAN LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING. VCSH SHOULD SUFFICE FOR NOW IN WARM ADVECTION ZONE. AS FOR STRONG WIND POTENTIAL IN STORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...REMOVED MENTION OF G45 MAINLY BECAUSE BEST CHANCE OF STRONG WIND SEEMS TO BE LINING UP A LITTLE FARTHER SOUTH. MVFR CIGS/VSBYS POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT WITH LIGHT WINDS IN WAKE OF PRECIP. && .MPX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MN...NONE. WI...NONE. && JPR/TDK
