AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN 559 PM CDT WED SEP 3 2014 .UPDATE...FOR 00Z AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW && .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY) ISSUED AT 359 PM CDT WED SEP 3 2014 COMPLICATED FCST OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS DUE TO THE WAKE LEFT BEHIND CONVECTION WHICH HAD DEVELOPED EARLIER TDA AND ON THRU THIS AFTN. AS AN UPR LVL SHORTWAVE TROF CONTINUES TO SLOWLY SHIFT EWD ALONG THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER TNGT THRU TMRW...IT WILL SHOVE A LOW PRES CENTER AHEAD OF IT ACRS THE DAKOTAS AND THRU NRN MN. THE WMFNT OF THIS SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY THRU SWRN MN AS TEMPS HAVE HIT THE LWR 80S WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE LWR 70S...WHILE THE REST OF THE WFO MPX CWFA LANGUISHES WITH TEMPS IN THE MID 60S TO LWR 70S AND DEWPOINTS IN THE LWR-MID 60S. WINDS HAVE REMAINED MAINLY SE AHEAD OF THE FRONT OUTSIDE OF CONVECTION...HELPING FEED THE CONVERGENCE IN ADVANCE OF THE WMFNT. THE STRONG FEED OF MOISTURE HAS HELPED AID EFFICIENT PRECIPITATION GENERATION TDA...WITH SOME REPORTS IN EXCESS OF 2 INCHES TDA. VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGERY IS SHOWING SOME CLEARING OUT IN SWRN MN...WHICH THE THINKING IS THAT IF ENOUGH CLEARING CAN OCCUR TO RELOAD THE ATMOS IN CONJUNCTION WITH AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE TROUGH ALOFT...AT WHICH TIME ANY CAPPING SHOULD BE BROKEN...THEN ADDITIONAL SHWRS/TSTMS LOOK TO DEVELOP OVER WRN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA THEN SHIFT EWD. MULTIPLE INSTABILITY PARAMETERS STILL INDICATE THAT OVER SWRN PORTIONS OF THE CWFA CONTAINS THE HIGHEST HELICITIES...GREATEST INSTABILITY...AND MODEST LAPSE RATES TO HINT THAT WEAK MIDLVL DISTURBANCES EVIDENT IN WV IMAGERY COMBINED WITH SEVERAL SFC OUTFLOWS WILL COMBINE TO RESTART CONVECTION THIS EVENING. BEST TIMING HAS ACTIVITY STARTING IN W-CENTRAL MN THEN DRIVING ESE THROUGH THE CWFA DURING THE EVENING HRS. ONCE CONVECTION ENDS...THEN SLY WINDS BRINGING IN WARMER AIR AND HIGHER DEWPOINTS WILL BE CONDUCIVE TO LOW STRATUS AND POSSIBLY FOG DEVELOPMENT OVERNIGHT...MAINLY DURING THE WARM SECTOR PORTION OF THIS LOW PRES SYSTEM. GOING INTO THU...THE CDFNT WILL SLOWLY MARCH ACRS MN AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. THIS WILL LEAD TO SOME ISOLD- SCATTERED SHWRS/TSTMS DURING THE DAY WITH THE STRONGEST OF SAID STORMS TO OCCUR IN THE MORNING. OVERALL TIMING WITH LACK OF INSOLATION SHOULD LIMIT STORM STRENGTH BUT DEPENDING ON WHERE ANY LOW LEVEL JETTING CAN BE ESTABLISHED WOULD ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS EARLY ON THURSDAY. WITH THE PROGRESSION OF THE CDFNT...WINDS WILL SHIFT FROM S TO W...DEWPOINTS WILL DROP OFF AND SKIES WILL STEADILY CLEAR OUT...HELPING END THE PRECIPITATION FROM W TO E. AS FOR TEMPERATURES...TEMPS LOOK TO CONTINUE RISING THRU LATE THIS AFTN INTO THE EARLY EVE WITH THE PROGRESSION OF THE WMFNT. WHERE TEMPS HAVE HIT THEIR HIGHS THIS AFTN...THOSE LOCATIONS WILL NOT DROP OFF MUCH TO THE OVERNIGHT LOWS. WHERE TEMPS ARE STILL RISING...THOSE LOCATIONS WILL REMAIN FAIRLY STEADY GOING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. MOST LOCATIONS WILL SETTLE OUT IN THE UPR 60S TO LWR 70S. AHEAD OF THE CDFNT TMRW...TEMPS WILL SOAR INTO MID-UPR 80S IN WRN WI WITH A LARGE RANGE OF MID 70S TO MID 80S IN MN. WITH THE DEWPOINTS STILL IN THE 70S IN WRN WI...HEAT INDEX VALUES WILL HIT THE LOW-MID 90S IN FAR ERN MN INTO WRN WI. .LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY) ISSUED AT 359 PM CDT WED SEP 3 2014 LONG TERM PERIOD STARTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THE SHORT TERM PERIOD ENDS WITH...WHEN WILL THE STRONG CAP BE BROKEN AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT MOVING ACROSS THE AREA. BY 7 PM THURSDAY /START OF THE LONG TERM/...THE COLD FRONT WILL ALREADY BE NEAR A ROCHESTER TO LADYSMITH LINE...SO THE WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY FOR PRECIP THURSDAY EVENING WILL BE NARROW. THE HIRES CAMS...ALONG WITH THE ECMWF SHOW ACTIVITY ALONG THE FRONT DEVELOPING WHEN SAID FRONT IS EAST OF THE MPX CWA. HOWEVER...THE 12Z NAM HAD A SLIGHTLY SLOWER FRONTAL PROGRESSION...ALLOWING FOR IT TO DEVELOP ACTIVITY EAST OF AN ALBERT LEA TO RICE LAKE LINE. AS A RESULT...MAINTAINED SOME CHANCE POPS BETWEEN 00Z AND 6Z FRIDAY IN THE FAR ERN CWA...THOUGH THE GREATEST THREAT FOR CONVECTION STILL LOOKS TO BE EAST OF THE MPX AREA. WHEREVER STORMS FORM...THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY WOULD SUGGEST WE WILL STILL HAVE A SEVERE THREAT WITH WHATEVER DEVELOPS. STILL LOOKS LIKE WE GET A GOOD PUSH OF COOL/DRY AIR BEHIND THE FRONT...WITH HIGHS BY FRIDAY ONLY TOPPING IN THE 60S AS H85 TEMPS CRASH FROM ABOUT 20C ON THURSDAY /IN WRN WI/ TO BETWEEN 5C AND 10C FRIDAY. THE HIGH PRESSURE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS COOLER AIR WILL WANDER INTO THE MID MS VALLEY ON SATURDAY...WITH WEST WINDS AND WEAK WAA SETTING UP DURING THE DAY ON SATURDAY...WHICH WILL ALLOW HIGHS BY SUNDAY TO BE ABOUT 10 DEGREES WARMER THAN WHAT WE WILL SEE FRIDAY. WE STILL LOOK TO TURN MORE ACTIVE FOR THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK AS A DEEP TROUGH DIGS ACROSS SRN CANADA...WHICH WILL SEND ANOTHER POWERFUL FALL FRONT ACROSS THE UPPER MS VALLEY ON WEDNESDAY. WAA WILL START OUT IN WRN MN SUNDAY NIGHT...WHICH IS WHEN POPS START TO APPEAR. WE WILL REMAIN IN A MOIST SRLY FLOW MONDAY/TUESDAY...WITH CHANCES FOR WAA PRECIP CONTINUING...UNTIL POTENTIAL COLD FRONT PRECIP WORKS THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. SEVERE THREAT OVER THESE DAYS DOES NOT LOOK OVERLY IMPRESSIVE...AS THE FRONT MOVING THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT WILL GET DRIVEN CLEAR DOWN TO THE GULF COAST OVER THE WEEKEND. AS A RESULT...WE DO NOT LOOK TO HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO GET GULF MOISTURE BACK UP TO MN BEFORE THE COLD FRONT CLEARS...WITH THE GREATEST INSTABILITY REMAINING TO OUR SOUTH. THROUGH THE WHOLE PERIOD...STILL HAVE MAINLY CHANCE POPS AS THERE IS ENOUGH SPREAD IN TIMING/LOCATION OF PRECIP IN THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS TO INSERT ENOUGH UNCERTAINTY INTO THE FORECAST TO KEEP THE POPS IN THE CHANCE CATEGORY. BEHIND THIS COLD FRONT...THE GFS AND ECMWF SHOW A TRULY FALL AIRMASS MOVING INTO THE AREA FOR THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...WITH H85 TEMPS FALLING BELOW ZERO C IN THE WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM. BY THURSDAY OF NEXT WEEK...THE ECMWF ONLY HAS HIGH IN THE 50S WITH STRONG WNW WINDS...A SIGN THE SEASONS ARE ABOUT TO START CHANGING. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z THURSDAY EVENING) ISSUED AT 559 PM CDT WED SEP 3 2014 SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT CENTRAL MN AND WEST CENTRAL WI SITES THIS EVENING...PRIMARILY KSTC/KMSP/KRNH/KEAU.
