What happened

The episode as NWS MPX wrote it up.

Isolated severe storms near Redwood Falls and Albert Lea moved northeast across east central and southeast Minnesota during the early morning hours of Sunday, June 23rd. After 2 am, a line of severe storms developed across southwest Minnesota and raced eastward rapidly and produced occasional large hail and damaging wind gusts across southern Minnesota. Due to several rounds of thunderstorms moving across the region, plus heavy rainfall during the previous two days, flash flooding developed in the morning around Glencoe and eastern Wright County.

What forecasters said that day

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.

650 PM CDT SAT JUN 22 2013

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 645 PM CDT SAT JUN 22 2013

RECENT TRENDS WITH THE HRRR ALONG WITH HEAVY RAIN PROBABILITIES
FROM THE SREF AND THE OVERNIGHT QPF PLACEMENT FROM THE ECMWF HAS
PROMPTED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY MORNING FOR A
GOOD PORTION OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN MN. RAINFALL AMOUNTS FROM THE
HRRR ARE IN THE 2 TO 3 INCH RANGE FROM MONTEVIDEO AND APPLETON ON
EAST THROUGH THE TWIN CITIES. THIS LINES UP WELL WITH THE SREF
PROBABILITIES OF 1 AND 2 INCH RAINS OVERNIGHT AND THE 12 HOUR QPF
FROM THE ECMWF. THIS IS ALSO AT THE NOSE OF THE RAP 925-850MB
MOISTURE TRANSPORT BETWEEN 06Z AND 12Z.

.SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 334 PM CDT SAT JUN 22 2013

BIG THING TO START OFF THE SHORT TERM IS THE PRESENCE OF A
STRENGTHENING WARM FRONT ACROSS SRN MN...WHICH STRETCHES FROM
MARSHALL OVER TO FARIBAULT AND LA CROSSE AT 330 PM. SOUTH OF THE
BOUNDARY...SKIES HAVE CLEARED...WITH TEMPS RISING TO AROUND 90 TO
GO WITH MID/UPPER 60 DEWPOINTS. THIS BOUNDARY IS BEING REINFORCED
BY A COOL AND SHALLOW RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE THAT HAS COME DOWN FROM
THE NORTHEAST OFF OF LAKE SUPERIOR. FARTHER WEST...THERE IS A
DIFFUSE PRESSURE TROUGH/FRONT ORIENTED N/S ACROSS THE CENTRAL
DAKOTAS.

TONIGHT...THE WARM FRONT WILL TRY TO PUSH NORTH TO ABOUT THE I-94
CORRIDOR...BUT WILL CONTINUALLY BE STRUGGLING AGAINST LAKE SUPERIOR
HIGH. BY SUNDAY MORNING...THE TROUGH BACK OVER THE DAKOTAS WILL MOVE
INTO MN AND WILL BE BISECTING MN FROM THE SW CORNER UP TOWARD THE
INL AREA BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

FOR TONIGHT...LOTS OF UNCERTAINTY WITH HOW CONVECTION WILL EVOLVE.
ATMOSPHERE OVER MN/NRN WI REMAINS OVERTURNED AND WORKED OVER FROM
LAST NIGHTS CONVECTION...AS EVIDENCED BY MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES ON
THE SPC MESO ANALYSIS OF 5 TO 7 DEG C PER KM....THOUGH THEY HAVE
STARTED TO SHOWS SIGNS OF RECOVERING IN THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS.
THESE WEAK LAPSE RATES WILL LIKELY KEEP THINGS FAIRLY BENIGN ACROSS
THE MPX AREA UNTIL CLOSER TO 00Z. AS 00Z APPROACHES...A 30-40KT LLJ
WILL BEGIN COMING UP OUT OF IA AND IMPINGING ON THE WARM FRONT
ACROSS MN...WHICH SHOULD REALLY START TO RAMP UP PRECIP CHANCES.
MAIN QUESTION THEN FOR TONIGHT BECOMES HOW FAR NORTH DOES THE WARM
FRONT AND NOSE OF THE LLJ GO. ONCE AGAIN...EXPECT THE NOSE OF THE
LLJ TO BE VERY ACTIVE...WITH WIDESPREAD TSRA THAT WILL HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO TRAIN...WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH
FLOODING BEING POSSIBLE TONIGHT. IN ADDITION TO THE HEAVY
RAIN...SHEAR WILL BE SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO WARRANT A RISK OF SEVERE
WEATHER THROUGH THE NIGHT...WITH THE MAIN TREAT BEING WET MICRO/DOWN
BURSTS ONCE AGAIN. GOING WITH A BLEND OF THE ECMWF/GFS/NAM...THE
PART OF THE AREA THAT WOULD BE MOST AT RISK FOR SEEING THUNDERSTORMS
WOULD ESSENTIALLY BE THE HEART OF THE MPX CWA FROM SW MN...UP
THROUGH THE TWIN CITIES AND OVER INTO WRN WI.

UNFORTUNATELY...HI-RES MODELS ARE OF NO USE TONIGHT...AS EACH WRF
MEMBER HAS ITS OWN UNIQUE IDEA OF HOW THINGS WILL EVOLVE. AND THE
HRRR HAS SHOWN CONSIDERABLE VARIABILITY FROM RUN TO RUN. GIVEN ALL
OF THE UNCERTAINTY...CAN NOT PIN DOWN EXACTLY WHERE THE GREATEST
FLASH FLOOD EXISTS THROUGH TONIGHT...SO HAVE OPTED NOT TO ISSUE A
FLASH FLOOD WATCH. GREATEST THREAT OF COURSE WOULD BE ALONG/NORTH OF
THE WARM FRONT...WHEREVER IT DECIDES TO SETUP SHOP TONIGHT.

FOR SUNDAY...THE DAKOTAS BOUNDARY WILL BE DRIFTING INTO MN...WITH
DRIER AIR COMING IN BEHIND IT. THIS MAY ACTUALLY ALLOW FOR A DRY DAY
IN WRN MN...BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CWA...THE LLJ WILL BE
INCREASING BY THE AFTERNOON...WITH THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO AGAIN
EXPAND IN COVERAGE FROM SOUTH CENTRAL MN INTO WRN WI.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY)
ISSUED AT 334 PM CDT SAT JUN 22 2013

THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY BE ONGOING AT THE START OF THE
LONG TERM PERIOD SUNDAY EVENING ACROSS WRN WI. WEST OF THE COLD
FRONT...DRIER AIR WILL FINALLY BRING CLEARING CONDITIONS AND A
RESPITE FROM REPEATED ROUNDS OF CONVECTION SUNDAY NIGHT AND
MONDAY.

RIDGING WILL BUILD OVER THE PLAINS MONDAY. 925 MB TEMPS MONDAY
WILL RISE TO BETWEEN +23 AND +25C...SO THINKING HIGHS IN THE UPPER
80S ARE LIKELY AND SEVERAL LOCATIONS OVER SWRN MN COULD REACH THE
LOWER 90S.

THE NOSE OF MID LEVEL RIDGING WILL BEGIN TO REACH SRN MN TUESDAY.
MODELS CONTINUE TO ADVERTISE ANOTHER DISTURBANCE SLIDING AROUND...
AND TO THE NORTH OF THIS RIDGING MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY.
MAINTAINED MEDIUM POPS THROUGHOUT THIS TIME. FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE
OF THE ANY MORNING MCS/S...TUESDAY MAY TURN HOT AND HUMID PRIOR
TO COLD FRONTAL PASSAGE TUESDAY EVENING. NAM WOULD FAVOR HIGHS IN
THE LOW/MID 90S WITH PRONOUNCED THERMAL RIDGING. GFS/ECMWF ARE
SLIGHTLY COOLER ACROSS THE ERN CWA WITH MCS CLOUDINESS PERSISTING
INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS.

A MUCH DRIER PERIOD WILL TAKE HOLD IN THE LATTER HALF OF THE LONG
TERM WITH RIDGING RETROGRADING BACK INTO THE WESTERN STATES AND A
ZONAL TO NORTHWEST FLOW RETURNING TO THE MIDWEST/GREAT LAKES.
THIS WILL BRING COOLER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES TO MUCH OF THE
EASTERN CONUS HEADING INTO THE HOLIDAY WEEK.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY EVENING)
ISSUED AT 645 PM CDT SAT JUN 22 2013

CONVECTION UNDERWAY EARLY THIS EVENING ACROSS PORTIONS OF
SOUTHERN MN AND ADJOINING AREAS OF WI ALONG A BOUNDARY. THIS
BOUNDARY WILL LIFT SLOWLY NORTHWARD TONIGHT WITH STORMS BECOMING
MORE WIDESPREAD. RECENT TRENDS FROM THE HRRR POINT TO EXTENSIVE
CONVECTION AFFECTING KAXN AND KRWF ON EASTWARD TO KMSP DURING THE LATE
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. AS PER THE PAST TWO NIGHTS...LOW MVFR
OR IFR CEILINGS DEVELOPING IN THE WAKE OF THE CONVECTION ALONG
WITH BR. EXPECT CEILINGS TO IMPROVE TO VFR BY LATE MORNING AS MIXING
OCCURS WITH INCREASING S TO SW WINDS OF 12-15 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO
25 KNOTS.

KMSP...

MAIN CONCERN OVERNIGHT IS WHEN THUNDERSTORMS SPREAD IN. THE MOST
CONCENTRATED STORMS ARE EXPECTED BETWEEN 07Z AND 11Z BUT COULD
START AS EARLY AS 05Z. LOW MVFR/IFR CEILINGS IN THE WAKE OF THE
STORMS INTO SUNDAY MORNING WITH IMPROVEMENT TO VFR BY 15Z. LIGHT
NE WINDS THIS EVENING BECOMING SE AFTER MIDNIGHT AND THEN MORE
SOUTHERLY BY LATE SUNDAY MORNING. SPEEDS INCREASING TO 10 TO 15
KNOTS ON SUNDAY. SCATTERED SHOWERS SUNDAY MORNING WITH
THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE SUNDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING.

/OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/

MON...VFR. WIND SE 5-10 KTS.
MON NIGHT...CHC TSRA. VFR OUTSIDE OF TSRA. WINDS SE 5-10 KTS.
TUE...CHC TSRA. VFR OUTSIDE OF TSRA. WINDS SSE 10-15 KTS.
WED...CHC TSRA. VFR OUTSIDE OF TSRA. WINDS S SHIFT TO NW 10 KTS.
