AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DULUTH MN
634 PM CDT MON JUL 2 2012

.AVIATION...00Z TAFS.
VFR THROUGH THE FORECAST CYCLE. EXPECT TSRA TO CONTINUE TO
DEVELOP/SPREAD ACROSS THE MAJORITY OF THE TAF SITES THIS EVENING.
THE EXCEPTION IS INL WHICH APPEARS TO BE ON THE PERIPHERY FOR ANY
ADDITIONAL STORM DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER...IFR VSBYS ARE POSSIBLE IN
THE VCNTY OF THE STRONGER STORMS. STORMS WILL DIMINISH BETWEEN 08Z
AND 12Z.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 309 PM CDT MON JUL 2 2012/

SHORT TERM...A WARM FRONT CURRENTLY OVER THE FA WILL LIFT NE INTO
CANADA THIS EVENING AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT MOVING E THROUGH ND
ATTM. EXPECT SHOWERS AND STORMS TO FORM AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND
OVERSPREAD THE FA THROUGH THE EVENING. SEVERE POTENTIAL IS VERY
GOOD WITH DAYTIME HEATING LEADING TO LARGE SBCAPE VALUES
APPROACHING 5000 J/KG IN THE WESTERN FA ACCORDING TO THE LATEST
LAPS DATA. ONLY MADE MINOR CHANGES TO TONIGHT TO RY AND TIME THE
COMPLEX THROUGH THE AREA. WILL MAINTAIN THE HEAT ADVISORY UNTIL
02Z WHEN THE STORMS OVERTURN THE ATMOSPHERE AND REMOVE THE
ADVISORY POTENTIAL.

STORMS MAY LINGER ACROSS NW WI AND THE ARROWHEAD TUESDAY MORNING
AND HAVE LOW POPS IN PLACE AS SHORT WAVE ENERGY APPEARS TO
UNDERCUT THE UPPER RIDGE. BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON...THE SHORT WAVE
MOVES E WITH THE UPPER RIDGE PREVAILING. ATTM...NOT EXPECT HEAT
ADVISORY CRITERIA ON TUESDAY. UPPER LEVEL AND SFC RIDGING WILL
COVER THE FA TUESDAY NIGHT.

LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY...
MDLS AGREE THAT ANOMALOUS 50H HEIGHTS WILL RESIDE OVER THE REGION
THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD. EXPECT A CONTINUATION OF WARM/HOT AIR IN SFC
LAYER TO MAKE CONDITIONS QUITE UNCOMFORTABLE WED/THUR. NOT VERY
CONFIDENT WITH CURRENT FCST OF POPS BASED ON LATEST EC AND OVERALL
SYNOPTIC SCALE PATTERN. A SFC COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE CWA
WED NIGHT. THIS BDRY IS FORCED TO SRN MN/IA VICINITY FOR REMAINDER
OF PERIOD AS SFC HIGH PRESSURE MOVES ACROSS SRN SASK/MAN AND INTO
ONTARIO. THE BDRY WILL BE TOPPED BY WARM AIR ALOFT  SO THE IDEA IS
THAT BEST LL CONVERGENCE WILL BE IN A MOSTLY CAPPED ENVIRONMENT.
HERE IN THE DLH CWA...WNW FLOW ALOFT MAY ALLOW MIGRATORY SHORTWAVE
TROFS TO ASSIST IN CONVECTION FROM TIME TO TIME...BEHIND THE FRONT.
PWATS REMAIN QUITE HIGH WED/THUR WITH 1.5" TO 2" VALUES LIKELY. TOO
MANY UNCERTAINTIES REGARDING POTENTIAL OF ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN THIS
PERIOD HOWEVER WITH THE SRN EDGE OF WESTERLIES DRAPED OVERHEAD AND
HIGH PWATS...SYNOPTIC SCALE WILL PROMOTE CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS IN THE
CORRIDOR FROM NRN PLAINS INTO UPPER MIDWEST.

AVIATION...18Z TAF ISSUANCE...
VFR WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE AFTN HRS AS WARM AIR IN MID LVLS
INHIBITS CONVECTION. SOME VCTS NEAR KINL ATTM BUT IT APPEARS THAT
MAY BE IT FOR A WHILE. ALTHOUGH UNCERTAINTY EXISTS IN FCST OF AREAL
COVERAGE/TIMING OF TSTMS...MAIN CORRIDOR OF STORMS IS EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP OVER ND AND PUSH ACROSS MOST OF CWA THIS EVENING. USED TEMPO
FOR LATEST ESTIMATE OF TIMING BUT LATER FCSTS SHOULD BE MONITORED
FOR DEVELOPMENT/MOVEMENT OF CONVECTIVE CLUSTER ONCE IT ENTERS
REGION. AREAS OF BR WITH LOWER VIS LIKELY IN WAKE OF STORMS LATER
THIS EVENING.
