Special Weather Statement, NWS Duluth, MN

Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Duluth MN
1013 AM CDT SUN JUN 5 2016

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1013 AM CDT Sun Jun 5 2016

The forecast was updated through tonight, mainly focusing on the
winds and pcpn chances through this evening. The latest rap, nam,
and gfs soundings have widespread 20 to 30 mph within the mixing
layer for this afternoon through this evening, so felt confident
in the need to increase the sustained and wind gust speeds for
today. The strongest winds will likely be within a corridor from
the Brainerd Lakes to Pine City areas of northeast Minnesota this
afternoon, where gusts could approach 30 mph.

Still expecting scattered showers and isolated/scattered
thunderstorms this afternoon through this evening. Increased the
pcpn chances though to have some periods of likely/numerous
showers during the middle to late afternoon, including for the
Twin Ports and northwest Wisconsin.

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Monday)
Issued at 331 AM CDT Sun Jun 5 2016

The weather pattern will be changing as the earlier stacked low is
moving eastward. The early morning weather map features the
longwave trough extending from central Manitoba through Lake
Superior and all the way down to TX. The surface low was over
Lake Huron while high pressure was over the High Plains to the TX
Panhandle. with the low moving off...the extensive cloudiness has
dissipated over the northland so we will see more sun today. But
more clouds will develop quickly after sunrise with very steep
lapse rates with a 500 mb cold pool at -16 to -20C. The effects of
this combined with a strong short wave rotating through the upper
trough will set off afternoon showers and thunderstorms in a
weakly unstable airmass. As these will be somewhat diurnally
driven expect a decrease in the evening...but with the series of
shortwaves moving through the upper flow there will continue to be
a chance of showers through Monday.

Winds will increase today with BUFR soundings indicating a deep
mixed layer with dry adiabatic lapse rates with over 25 knots
available to mix down...with the highest over the southwest corner
of the forecast area. BUFR sounding at KBRD shows a mixing height
of 6500 feet or 750 mb where winds will be 28 kts and these could
mix down to the sfc.

.LONG TERM...(Monday night through Saturday)
Issued at 331 AM CDT Sun Jun 5 2016

Concern for long term is chances for precipitation is low
relative humidity values on Tuesday...chance for precip Thursday
through Sunday.

A ridge of high pressure will bring in much drier air to the
forecast region on Tuesday.  The soundings indicate there will be a
deep mixed layer up to near 700 mb.  Mixing down this down to the
surface along with the higher winds will push relative humidity
values into the 22-28 percent range across most of the area.  These
conditions may cause some fire weather concerns on Tuesday.

The ridge moves east Tuesday night and Wednesday which will cause a
southerly flow to develop along with warmer temperatures. A
shortwave will move through the upper level ridge and travel across
the region Thursday and Friday brining a possibility of showers and
scattered thunderstorms for Thursday and friday.  An area of low
pressure will develop in the northern plains Friday night and slowly
move east over the weekend.  This will pull in more moisture across
the region Saturday and Sunday bringing a good possibility of
showers and thunderstorms for the weekend.
