Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Duluth MN
353 AM CDT Thu Jul 6 2017

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Friday)
Issued at 353 AM CDT Thu Jul 6 2017

At 345 AM, we have ongoing severe weather across portions of the
CWA. Severe thunderstorms have been common over the past few hours
in the vicinity of Lake Mille Lacs. In addition, an intensifying
bow echo was currently moving into our western CWA. Temperatures
this morning ranged from the mid 50s in the north to the lower 70s
in the Brainerd Lakes area.

The focus for today is definitely severe weather. New Severe
Thunderstorm Watch just issued recently for most of the CWA based
on the threat from the bow echo, as well as potential development
of new storms ahead of it. MUCAPE this morning was right around
3000 J/kg, and there are many parameters pointing to plenty of
fuel for this to continue into much of the morning. Precipitable
water values had also increased over the past few hours, and we
will continue to increase our flash flood threat with some of the
storms overnight. Current indication is that the bow echo in the
western CWA will continue to barrel eastward as the night wears
on, reaching the Twin Ports and moving across northern Wisconsin
and western Lake Superior. We could then see a decrease in
precipitation for a time, before storms redevelop this afternoon
and evening. The most likely area for thunderstorm development
will be in the eastern half of the CWA, closer to the surface low
and frontal boundary. Northwest Wisconsin and far eastern
Minnesota appear to feature the main threat area for severe
thunderstorms this afternoon and early evening, with very unstable
air and increasingly favorable shear profiles. Very large hail
and damaging winds are the main threat.

Precipitation should gradually end from west to east overnight,
but a secondary cold front dropping southward on Friday will bring
a small chance of thunderstorms to the southern CWA in the
afternoon.

Temperatures will soar into the 80s to lower 90s today, but drop
into the 70s for daytime highs on Friday.

.LONG TERM...(Friday night through Wednesday)
Issued at 353 AM CDT Thu Jul 6 2017

Seasonably warm weather will continue through the middle of next
week. High temperatures will mainly be in the middle 70s to low 80s.
Chances of showers and storms are fairly low until closer to the
middle of the next week.

The Northland will be under west-northwest flow Saturday. Surface
high pressure will be over the Northern and Central Plains, while a
cold front will be pushing south through Ontario. It should be a
fairly warm and dry day, but showers and storms are possible near
the Canadian border in the Arrowhead late in the day and Saturday
evening when the cold front brushes the area.

The 00Z GFS and ECMWF are in fairly good agreement that a surface
low will develop in the Northern Plains over the weekend and move
south and east through the Dakotas Sunday. A warm/stationary front
will likely set up south of the Northland. Showers and storms are
possible near the front across the far southern forecast area Sunday
into Sunday night.

Surface high pressure should build into the Northland Monday,
providing a warm and sunny day. It might hang around long enough to
keep much of Tuesday dry, but an upper-level ridge and warm and
humid southerly flow will be approaching from the west. The GFS,
European, and Canadian are indicating a shortwave trough embedded
within the ridge will likely bring a chance of showers and
thunderstorms sometime late Tuesday, Tuesday Night, and/or
Wednesday.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday night)
Issued at 1224 AM CDT Thu Jul 6 2017

Main focus for the first six hours will be the onset of
thunderstorms and showers across all sites as storms move into the
region from the west. Based on the movement and tracks of the
storms, pushed back the onset time for most sites by an hour from
the previous set of TAFs. Convection ahead of the main swaths
expected later has begun east of KBRD and will update accordingly
should further convection initiate ahead.

Depending on these storms, it can be expected
that all sites will see a reduction in visibility and ceilings.
Expecting flight categories to stick mainly to VFR but added short
periods of time in which terminals get down to MVFR due to storms.
After the passing of storms mid morning, VFR conditions will
continue and growth of scattered cumulus during 16-19z. Skies will
become clear for most sites around 00z.
