Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Duluth MN
1253 AM CDT Tue Sep 7 2021

.DISCUSSION...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 341 PM CDT Mon Sep 6 2021

Summary: Showers and storms will move in from the northwest in the
evening and overnight hours. Some storms could be strong to severe
with primary hazards being damaging winds and hail upwards of 1 inch
in diameter. Showery activity will begin to disperse tomorrow
morning as a cold front ushers the showers out of the region. Behind
this front we will see gusty winds out of the northwest. Wind gusts
in excess of 35 mph will be widespread with even higher speeds
expected across the Arrowhead.

Surface high pressure was retreating to the east this morning with
southerly winds beginning to increase across the region. Warm air
advection continued through the day as a warm front arches across
the region. This southerly flow is allowing the region to quickly
rebound from the previous nights lows in the 30s and 40s. Highs by
the end of the day will be back up into the 70s. An upper level
trough will be sliding across the International Border this evening
helping to induce a deepening low in eastern ND. The warm sector out
ahead of this low could see some developing showers and
thunderstorms through isentropic ascent. As we head into the
overnight hours the system is expected to strengthen with strong PVA
aloft. MUCAPE is expected to be in excess of 500 J/Kg with the NAM
running strong around 2000 J/Kg. Additionally, there will be high
amounts of shear to help sustain these storms with speeds around 50
kts. SPC has the vast majority of our CWA highlighted in a marginal
risk for severe weather. Storms will likely begin elevated in nature
this evening across our northwest counties. As the cold front pivots
across in the overnight hours I expect this to be our focal point
for strong to severe storms to develop. Main hazards at this time
are damaging winds in excess of 60 mph and hail upwards of an inch
in diameter.

Tuesday the cold front will be ushering out the remaining showers
through the early morning hours. On the backside of this cold front
we will see a strong pressure gradient set up over the region with
gusty winds across the region out of the northwest. Afternoon wind
gusts could be in excess of 35 mph with even stronger speeds across
the Arrowhead. The vertically stacked low will continue its track
east providing cyclonic flow aloft. Ample mid level lapse rates will
help to incite some scattered showers and storms by the afternoon
hours. This pattern continues through into Wednesday with slightly
less windy conditions and another chance for scattered showers in the
afternoon.

Upper level ridging pushes cyclonic flow out of the region Thursday
with surface high pressure nudging its way north. Model consistency
drastically drops beyond Thursday as we head into the weekend. The
general consensus is to have another system slide across the
Canadian Prairies bringing showers and thunderstorms to the region.
Overall timing could be as early as Friday evening.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night)
Issued at 1253 AM CDT Tue Sep 7 2021

Showers and thunderstorms are passing through the region
associated with a cold front. Storms will affect DLH for the next
couple hours before tapering off. Most of the thunder activity has
already passed through HIB/INL, but couldn't rule out some
additional showers and perhaps a storm redeveloping in the next
couple hours. BRD will also likely see showers and thunderstorms
for the next couple hours, with HYR not likely to see storms until
around 08Z. As storms pass through, expect gusty and erratic winds
possibly in excess of 20 knots. Wind direction is likely to be
variable as storms pass through.

Strong northwest winds are expected following the frontal passage
on Tuesday at all terminals. Wind gusts to around 20 to 25 knots
with occasionally higher gusts are possible, especially during
the afternoon hours. Some LLWS is possible Tuesday evening as
winds at the surface lighten up a bit.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 341 PM CDT Mon Sep 6 2021

Southeasterly winds will continue to stream across the Lake around
10-15 kts through this evening and most of the night. Showers and
thunderstorms will be entering the Lake after midnight with the
chance for some storms to be strong to severe. Main hazards will be
damaging winds and hail upwards of 1 inch in diameter. Showers and
storms will begin to taper off in the morning hours. A cold front
will swing in from the west Tuesday morning bringing gusty
conditions across the Lake. A small craft advisory has been issued.
There is some concern of gales along the North Shore in the late
afternoon and evening hours, however, confidence is not high enough
to upgrade the headline at this time. Windy conditions are expected
to persist into Wednesday morning with conditions improving at the
head of the Lake first and spreading east thereafter.
