What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Duluth, MN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at Aug 29, 3:50 PM CDT, 2 hours 40 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 29, 3:50 PM CDT, 2 hours 40 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DULUTH MN
350 PM CDT THU AUG 29 2013

.SHORT TERM...THE MAIN FOCUS FOR TONIGHT IS THUNDERSTORMS.

AT 330 PM...THUNDERSTORMS WERE GENERALLY ON THE DECREASE ACROSS
THE CWA. THE STRONGEST STORM WAS LOCATED OVER IRON COUNTY. THIS
WAS PART OF THE LARGE LINE OF STORMS THAT MOVED FROM THE DAKOTAS
LAST NIGHT...THROUGH NORTHERN MINNESOTA AND NORTHERN WISCONSIN.
TEMPERATURES RANGED FROM THE 60S NEAR LAKE SUPERIOR TO NEAR 90 IN
OUR FAR SOUTHERN COUNTIES. DEWPOINTS WERE LARGELY IN THE 60S NORTH
TO THE 70S SOUTH.

THE MAIN FOCUS FOR TONIGHT WILL DEFINITELY BE THUNDERSTORMS. THE
ATMOSPHERE HAS BEEN WORKED OVER PRETTY WELL FROM THE MCS THAT
MOVED ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA DURING THE DAY. IT MAY STILL TAKE
SOME TIME BEFORE THINGS DESTABILIZE FURTHER FOR MORE DEVELOPMENT
LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING. THE NMM WRF/NSSL WRF/
HRRR AND RAP NOT DOING THE BEST AS OF 330 PM. THE 4 KM NMM WRF
SEEMS TO HAVE THE BEST HANDLE ON THE CURRENT SCENARIO. THIS MODEL
INDICATES THAT STORMS WILL FIRE UP AGAIN ACROSS NW MN AND SWEEP
FROM NW TO SE ACROSS ESPECIALLY THE SW 1/3 OF THE CWA. THIS WOULD
MAKE THE MOST SENSE AS THIS SHOULD BE THE AREA MOST APT TO
DESTABILIZE AND WITH THE BEST SURFACE CONVERGENCE. MANY OF THE
MODELS ARE ACTUALLY INDICATING THE MOST WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION
ACROSS NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA...WHICH WOULD BE WHERE IT HAS
LARGELY STABILIZED THOUGH.

FRIDAY SHOULD BE MUCH MORE QUIET...AS A COLD FRONT BRINGS A BIT
COOLER AND DRIER AIR TO THE REGION. HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD STILL
BE IN THE 80S FOR THE MOST PART.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FRI NIGHT AND EARLY SAT ACROSS MUCH OF
THE UPPER MIDWEST AS A WEAK RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT AND A SFC
HIGH DOMINATE THE REGION. THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL DEVELOP OVER THE NRN
PLAINS AND CANADIAN FRONT RANGE FRI NIGHT AND MOVE EWD THROUGH NRN
MN AND INTO WRN ONTARIO DURING THE DAY SAT AND SAT NIGHT. THE MODELS
ARE IN VERY GOOD AGREEMENT BRINGING THE SFC LOW EWD JUST NORTH OF
THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER INTO WRN ONTARIO BY SUNDAY MORNING...WITH A
SFC TROUGH/COLD FRONT EXTENDING SWD THROUGH MN. SHOWERS AND STORMS
ARE EXPECTED TO SPREAD ACROSS THE REGION ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS
FRONT...WITH A CHANCE OF A FEW STRONG OR SEVERE STORMS. AS THE SFC
LOW TRACKS TO THE EAST INTO CENTRAL ONTARIO AND THE FRONT SLIDES
INTO WI/MICH U.P. A TIGHT PRES GRADIENT WILL SET UP ON THE BACK SIDE
OF THE LOW IN NE MN AND ALLOW GUSTY N WINDS TO DEVELOP WITH A FEW
SUNDAY MORNING AND AFTERNOON CAA RAIN SHOWERS. HIGH PRESSURE WILL
MOVE IN AND DOMINATE THE AREA BY MONDAY AND CONTINUE TO BRING DRY
CONDITIONS TO THE NORTHLAND THROUGH TUE AND INTO EARLY WED. A WEAK
FRONT WILL DROP SWD INTO THE REGION LATE WED AND BRING WITH IT
ADDITIONAL CHANCES FOR SHOWERS.

TEMPERATURES SATURDAY WILL CONTINUE TO BE WARM WITH HIGHS IN THE
UPPER 70S AND LOWER TO MID 80S...ALONG WITH HUMID CONDITIONS.
HOWEVER...THE COLD FRONT ON SATURDAY NIGHT WILL USHER IN A MUCH
DRIER AND COOLER AIR MASS WITH HIGHS ON SUN AND MON IN THE 60S AND
70S...AND NOTICEABLY LOWER HUMIDITIES. TEMPS WARM BA

BREAK IN THE CONVECTION IS EXPECTED EARLY THIS AFTERNOON BEFORE
ANOTHER ROUND DEVELOPS IN THE LATE AFTERNOON ACROSS N-CENTRAL MN
AND MOVES ACROSS THE NORTHLAND EARLY THIS EVENING. SOME OF THE
STORMS COULD BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE WITH VERY GUSTY WINDS AND
HAIL. A FEW OF THE STORMS COULD LINGER AROUND HYR UNTIL
06-08Z...OTHERWISE CONDITIONS CLEAR OUT FROM WEST TO EAST INTO
EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. WINDS WILL INCREASE FROM THE NNW DURING THE
