Fxus63 kmpx 260503 afdmpx area forecast discussion national weather service twin cities chanhassen mn 1203 am cdt Mon aug 26 2019 Updated for 06z aviation discussion Issued at 1159 pm cdt Sun aug 25 2019 Short term (this evening through Monday night) issued at 245 pm cdt Sun aug 25 2019 forecast concern is overall precipitation timing amounts with piecemeal trough through Monday evening. Currently, we have leading short wave trough moving through western mn generating fairly widespread light showers. Expect this trend to continue into the evening as it lifts slowly northeast. Will mention scattered wording for now. This trough lingers over the northeast CWA into tonight and will likely hold onto some low end pop for lingering light showers. Then timing of next main upper trough continues to slow it eastward progression. Will bring in higher end pops over west central mn mainly after 06z Mon and then move slowly east to eastern mn around 12z. Hires solutions continue to bring at least a line of scattered broken showers thunder ahead of the trough into central mn. The latest iteration of the hrrr continue to back off on any real higher end pop overnight and waits really until near 12z to develop activity to the west. Confidence is low on that happening at the moment with the href and various deterministic models still driving the activity into at least central mn by Monday morning. Thunder threat remains rather low with little instability noted over southern mn in the more cloudy showery regime. Will bring chance thunder out west later tonight mainly after 06z it appears. The trough moves into eastern mn Monday morning and we should be able to generate at least widespread showers over the central and east much of the day. This will limit temperatures to the upper 60s to lower 70s for highs. Qpf remains similar in overall placement but models continue to diverge on overall amounts. We came out with a pretty much widespread 1 to 1.5 inch accumulation for the event across the northern 2 3rd of the cwa. Still wouldn't be surprised to see some 2 inch totals where the upper trough deformation remains longest. Placement on this would be from around willmar st cloud to little falls area. Another secondary MAX could develop into west central wi into Monday afternoon as the main trough moves in. Long term (Tuesday through Sunday) issued at 245 pm cdt Sun aug 25 2019 well-defined cold front will be situated over the great lakes to the lower mississippi river valley by daybreak Tuesday morning

with the bulk of the precipitation off to the east. The surface low over far east-central manitoba province will continue to slowly slide northeast across hudson bay tue-thu, with a trailing weak surface trough expected to swing east over northern mn wi tue into wed. This will result in some scattered weak instability showers underneath the cold pool Tuesday afternoon. Some of these showers may produce up to around 0.10" qpf, particularly north of i-94. The precip looks to end by Tuesday evening then dry conditions are expected for Wednesday with precipitation remaining north of the WFO mpx coverage area. In addition to the showers, breezy conditions can be expected Tuesday into Wednesday with a tight pressure gradient setting up over the area between the departing potent low pressure system and incoming high pressure from the west. High pressure will then prevail across the north-central conus from late Wednesday on through the weekend. A weak cold front will drop through the region late Thursday into Friday, but this will be a dry front, with dry conditions continuing through next weekend. Temperatures will generally remain below normal, with highs around 70 every day except Thursday which will have highs hit the mid-to-upper 70s in advance of the dry cold front. Aviation (for the 06z tafs through 06z Monday night) issued at 1159 pm cdt Sun aug 25 2019 should see a few MVFR ceilings develop and rain thunder move in from the west overnight. Later today an area of rain will spread across the region from the southwest, and should have clouds lower as well. There is enough instability to mention thunder in the tafs. Should see ceilings lift from west to east during the evening as westerly winds increase. Kmsp... did push back the timing of MVFR clouds one more hour to 11z since the guidance seems to be a little to quick based on the current trends. It still appears like the best chance for thunder will be during the early afternoon. Should seeVFR conditions return Monday evening as westerly winds increase. Outlook for kmsp tue...VFR with afternoon MVFR -shra possible. Wind W at 20g30 kt. Wed...VFR with MVFR possible. Wind NW at 15g25 kt. Thu...VFR. Wind wsw at 10g20 kt. Mpx watches warnings advisories Wi... None. Mn... None. Short term... Dwe long term... Jpc aviation... Jrb

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
