Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Duluth MN
416 AM CDT Fri Aug 23 2019

.SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday)
Issued at 416 AM CDT Fri Aug 23 2019

Upper level ridging will build across the forecast area early this
morning, while surface ridging is already in place over western Lake
Superior. With a light wind and clear sky, areas of fog have formed.
Expect the fog to cover a larger portion of the region before
sunrise and have adjusted accordingly. The fog should erode shortly
after sunrise. A mainly sunny sky is forecast due to the nearby
high. Max temps will reach the 70s, with 60s along the north shore
of Lake Superior.

The aforementioned ridging drifts ever so slowly east through
Saturday, but remains close enough to keep a dry forecast. Low level
moisture will be on the increase tonight as a southerly flow begins
and expect clouds to affect the area. Will leave out a mention of
fog tonight as a result. The clouds will linger for most of the day
Saturday before dissipating late. Max temps should reach the 70s,
except along the north shore of Lake Superior.

.LONG TERM...(Saturday night through Thursday)
Issued at 416 AM CDT Fri Aug 23 2019

An upper trough will sag south over western Canada as a
ridge over the Great Lakes region slides eastward. On Sunday into
Monday, the trough digs into the Northern Plains as a surface low
over Manitoba and its associated cold front become more organized
and move northeastward. This will spread showers and thunderstorms
eastward across the Northland Sunday into early next week. Severe
weather is not anticipated with these thunderstorms due to weak
instability and limited shear. Also, the southwest flow aloft and
low-level southerly flow will help usher in high precipitable water
values Sunday into Monday. This could lead to the potential for much
of the region to see 1-2 inches of rain. Then, the surface low will
slowly track and stall over Ontario advecting cooler air for most of
next week resulting in below average temperatures for the region.
Due to cyclonic flow and cold air advection, scattered showers will
linger over the Northland on Tuesday into Wednesday.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night)
Issued at 1229 AM CDT Fri Aug 23 2019

Light winds and clear skies will create ideal conditions for fog
once again tonight. HIB has already dropped to 1/4 SM briefly and
expect a similar up-and-down trend in visibility there and at most
terminals through the night. The remaining terminals could all see
fog overnight, bringing visibilities down to MVFR and quite possibly
IFR or worse at times. This is according to current conditions and
also most short range and MOS/LAMP guidance suggesting it. Most
guidance keeps BRD VFR through the night, and since they have
remained warmer than sites further east, decided to keep them VFR
but mention a slight possibility of mist. Fog will lift through the
morning hours yielding mostly sunny skies under high pressure at
all sites on Friday. Some model guidance is suggesting that fog may
be an issue Friday night as well.

.MARINE...
Issued at 416 AM CDT Fri Aug 23 2019

As high pressure centers over Lake Superior, east/northeast flow
will accelerate over western Lake Superior on Friday. Borderline
Small Craft conditions will be possible across the western tip of
Lake Superior this afternoon. Wind speeds will range from 15-20
knots with gusts between 18-22 knots and occasional 3 feet waves.
Elsewhere, speeds of 5-15 knots can be expected with waves 2 feet or
less. Expect winds to decrease Friday evening into Saturday as the
high slides further east and winds shift to the south.
