Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 3:11 PM CDT, 9 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Duluth MN 311 PM CDT Sun Jun 11 2017 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Monday) Issued at 311 PM CDT Sun Jun 11 2017 An elevated warm front was located over the southern third of the forecast area at 1930Z. Showers and thunderstorms continue to form along the front, which also coincides with leftover outflow boundaries from earlier convection. These storms will percolate through this area through this evening with highest pops in northwest Wisconsin. Some of the storms may be on the strong side with heavy rain possible. Elsewhere, high pressure was in play. Another line of showers and storms was forming in northwest Minnesota and will move through the International Falls area through early this evening before ending. The showers and storms will end from west to east over northwest Wisconsin later tonight with the high pressure in charge. Even with the light wind expected tonight, short term hires models are downplaying the fog potential. Will leave out for now. A stronger area of high pressure over Manitoba will affect the region on Monday. .LONG TERM...(Monday night through Sunday) Issued at 311 PM CDT Sun Jun 11 2017 A warm front will continue to be the focus for showers and thunderstorms early in the period. On Monday night, the warm front will start to lift northward across Minnesota and Wisconsin, generating thunderstorms first in the south, and then spreading northward during the night. Surface low pressure will then lift into western Minnesota on Tuesday, as a massive upper level trough dominates the west. A strong jet streak rounding the base of the trough by Tuesday night will set the stage for strong to possibly severe thunderstorms as a cold front west of the CWA starts to move eastward. We could see some locally heavy rainfall, along with some large hail and damaging winds on Tuesday night. The showers and storms will continue into Wednesday as the cold front meanders slowly across the western Great Lakes. Things should generally quiet down for the rest of the long term period, as we will be in a bit more stable westerly flow. Still we could see some periodic diurnally driven showers and thunderstorms. High temperatures throughout the week should generally range from the 70s to lower 80s. Lows will be in the 50s and 60s. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday afternoon) Issued at 1240 PM CDT Sun Jun 11 2017 Showers and storms will be in the vicinity of BRD and HYR early in the forecast. Mainly VFR ceilings are expected, with MVFR vsbys near the storms. DLH may also be affected, but confidence is lower. Regardless, have a VCTS at DLH starting at 21Z. Elsewhere, VFR is expected. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
