SHORT TERM CONCERN ON EXPECTED CONVECTION ALONG TRIPLE PT/WARM FRONT
LINGERING OVER THE SRN ZONES OF THE DLH CWA THIS

FROM 72/60 AT KRZN...TO 75/59 AT KHYR...AND 73/59 AT KPBH.
LOCATIONS NEAR LAKE SUPERIOR...ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE WARM

RESULTING IN AREAS OF DENSE FOG AND TEMPERATURES STRUGGLING TO
REACH THE MIDDLE 40S. NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO DAYS 1-3 FCST. ONLY
MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TONIGHT FOR QPF IN LINE WITH LATEST HIGH- RES
MODELS.

THE 12Z WRF-NMM APPEARS TO HAVE BEST HANDLE ON CONVECTION AS IT WAS
THE ONLY HIGH RES SOLUTION THAT PICKED UP ON THE MCS THAT DEVELOPED
NEAR WALKER/CASS LAKE THIS MORNING AND TRACKED ACROSS THE IRON
RANGE/BOUNDARY WATERS REGION OF NE MN...CONTINUING OVER ONTARIO.
ALTHOUGH A SPARSELY POPULATED AREA...THERE WERE SEVERAL REPORTS
OF SIGNIFICANT WIND DAMAGE WITH THE STORM. THE WRF-NMM SIMULATED
REFLECTIVITY SUGGESTS CONVECTION INCREASES RAPIDLY IN COVERAGE
NEAR THE SFC LOW/PINE COUNTY...AROUND 21-22Z THEN SPREADS EAST
OVER WISCONSIN THROUGH THE EVENING AS THE SFC LOW LIFTS NE INTO
BAYFILED/ASHLAND COUNTY...AND EXITS OVER ERN LAKE

AGMT FOR THE THU-SUN PD ON POSITION AND TRACK OF THE LOW. SOME OF
THE REMAINING UNCERTAINTY INVOLVES THE STRENGTH OF THE HIGH OVR CN
FRI/SAT. DRY NERLY FLOW OUT OF SUCH HIGHS HAVE HISTORICALLY LIMITED
THE NWD PUSH OF MSTR/PRECIP AS THE SFC LOW MOVES NEWD TWRD THE CENT
GRT LKS. FOR NOW...SLGT POPS IN THE NW INCRSG TO CHC POPS OVR THE SE
SEEMED PRUDENT. LEFT SUN DRY AS HIGH PRESS REPLACES THE LOW. WITH NO
STRONG PUSH OF WARM AIR DURING THE PD...DO NOT EXPECT ANY SIG
