NWS Forecaster Discussion
464 fxus63 kmpx 240752 afdmpx Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen Minnesota 252 am CDT Thursday Jul 24 2008 Discussion... The challenge with the forecast is convective chances later today as well as Friday. GOES WV loop showing a series of waves approaching upper Mississippi Valley around a central one moving east into southern Manitoba. Upstream middle and upper level ridging currently reside over the forecast area...though deamplification is expected today. This is not necessarily due to the impingement of these shortwaves but the slight retrograding of the eastern Great Lakes long wave trough. This will lead to an almost squishing/weakening of these shortwaves as they near Minnesota this afternoon and evening. So this should be a major caveat to sustained severe weather later today. For this morning...continued 5k-10kft warm air advection /waa/ will lead to light showers with maybe a few lightning strikes. Convective chances seem none for eastern Minnesota and western WI through at least through middle afternoon if not throughout the daylight hours...as convective indicies are weak and actually weaken further after initial warm air advection push this morning. They then begin to creep up again in the late afternoon. So through middle afternoon for much of the County Warning Area think thunder will be few and far between with any showers. Surface cold front will be entering Minnesota late this afternoon into early this evening. Ahead of this...primarily in western and ctrl Minnesota...a fair amount of sun is expected today. This combined with the aforementioned gradual height falls will help destabilization. Surface dew points are expected to be in the 66 to 70 degree range ahead of the front. This creates surface based cape between 1500 and 2500 j/kg in a tongue into western and ctrl Minnesota by late afternoon. Marginal upper level divergence is present at that time with incoming 80-90 knots 250mb jet in the Western Plains. Associated thickness difluence also seen on model solutions. So isolated to scattered convection is expected in at least western Minnesota late this afternoon into early this evening. These should be pulsy-type storms...possibly with some clustering in a fairly unidirectional lower tropopause profile. Middle-level lapse rates are marginal for strong updrafts. Predicted dcape values are 600-1000 j/kg...though further examination of model soundings shows Delta Theta-E to be slight in the vertical...so wind threat thought to be marginal too. Some thought too of convection getting active in Nebraska/western Iowa absorbing some of our buoyancy and low level winds. This should come to fruition later in the evening as nocturnal low level jet will be focused in Iowa with expected ongoing convection. So all in all...probability of precipitation fairly small today and tonight and severe weather potential and possible areal coverage seem small as well. Front will gradually work southeast overnight into Friday morning before getting a kick Friday afternoon from a diving 500 mb wave in Saskatchewan. Instability expected to build ahead of the front in southern Minnesota and western WI with dew points in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Dynamics should be more impressive than today with a digging wave and an associated stronger jet. So severe potential does exist in southeast Minnesota and moreso in western WI on Friday afternoon and very early evening. After that point...front should be east of the forecast area. Despite these days being are warmest climatologically...we are not expecting any marked heat. In fact...temperatures should be slightly below normal most days. Friday may see middle to upper 80s...as 800 mb thermal ridge gradually works southeast across the area with aforementioned front. Dry and cool air advection then will prevail Friday night and Sat. The weekend looks dry with mainly lower 80s. Elevated moist advection should remain to our south and west during that time. Next week may be slightly more active as this advection approaches...but primary low level baroclinic and dew point gradient along with any remnant moisture from once Hurricane Dolly looks to be to our south. && Aviation.../06z taf issuance/ Warm advection pattern over forecast area strengthens later tonight as high pressure moves off. A couple of areas of showers moving across portions of Minnesota...largely missing most taf sites the next few hours. More substantial showers over SC Minnesota. By Thursday morning... ceilings close to MVFR could develop over western Minnesota and possibly as far east as kmsp. Surface cold front a bit delayed and should move into west central Minnesota late Thursday afternoon with a chance of thunder developing. && Mpx watches/warnings/advisories... Minnesota...none. WI...none. && $$ Mtf/tdk
