Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Duluth MN
638 PM CDT Thu Jun 10 2021

.DISCUSSION...(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 328 PM CDT Thu Jun 10 2021

Summary: Hot temperatures continue into the afternoon with heat
advisories over our southwest counties. A couple areas of storms
have been forming along a line of convergence south of 210. There
are additional storms forming in northwest WI along some lingering
boundaries. We are in a marginal risk today for some severe weather
with the primary threats being large hail and damaging winds. Storms
will slowly diminish overnight and areas near the Lake may receive
some dense fog. Another round of showers and storms is expected for
tomorrow. Drier conditions return Saturday.

A cold front was observed sliding across northern MN this morning.
This boundary is expected to stall out over NW WI this afternoon and
evening. South of this boundary thermal ridging into our CWA along
with southwesterly flow will bring hot and humid conditions to our
southwestern counties. Heat indicies for southern Cass, Crow Wing,
Pine, and Burnett may reach triple digits! We have a heat advisory
out for these counties and the bordering counties have a special
weather statement for excessive heat.

With the warm air protruding into the region once again today we
expect a lake breeze to form once again off of Lake Superior today.
As the boundary rushes inland it will encounter a warm and moist
environment ideal for thunderstorm development. Unstable air will be
in place south of the synoptic frontal boundary with MLCAPEs rising
into the 2,000 to 3,000 J/kg range. One of the more limiting factors
for severe weather in the area is the lack of deep layer shear with
our bulk shear in the 20-30 kt range. The SPC has kept NW WI in a
marginal threat for severe weather today. This seems like a good bet
given the lack of synoptic drivers over the region today. Mid level
lapse rates are between 6-7 C/km and could promote some hail growth.
Gusty winds from outflows within a steep low level lapse rate
environment could also cause isolated damage. Additionally, the
morning sounding over MPX recorded 1.29 inches of PW which is
slightly above the 75th percentile for this time of year. This could
lead to some sparse spots of heavy downpours.

Overnight, we have several areas of interest to watch. The
remaining moisture and warm temperates over Lake Superior will
likely generate some dense fog near the Lake. A few of the models
are strongly suggesting that the fog will seep further inland and
may linger through the early morning hours. Much further out west
over the High Plains a QLCS is likely to be moving across the
region and towards northern MN. Most of the models are hinting at
the line of storms weakening and sliding to the southeast as they
approach. This scenario seems the most likely with an upper level
ridge still in place over our region and the majority of the low
level jet being shunted off to the southeast. While the strongest
forcing is expected to out run these storms we will still likely
see some rain and embedded storms move in during the morning. As
we head into the afternoon and evening, the cold front that
generated the storms over the High Plains will pivot over the
region and could spark additional storms. As of this update our
region is not highlighted within a severe category by SPC.
However, there are a few models trending towards a corridor of
higher instability within the southeast sector of our CWA. We may
be bumped up a category with the next issuance of severe outlooks.

Heading into the weekend things look much drier with a surface high
pressure moving across the Midwest. Highs will fluctuate around the
80s for the most part with overnight lows dropping into the 50s.
There is a slim chance of some precipitation Sunday evening as an
upper level jet moves over head with a few vort maxes. However,
there is not much model agreement at this time. The better chance
for some widespread rain looks to be into the Thursday time frame. A
vertically stacked low moves across southern Canada with its cold
front branched across the Upper Midwest providing a chance for rain
and storms.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Friday evening)
Issued at 638 PM CDT Thu Jun 10 2021

VFR conditions largely remain in place this evening, thanks to
drier air filtering in from the north. The exception is across our
southern areas, particularly over northwest Wisconsin as there are
some clusters of showers and thunderstorms that have developed
along a surface boundary. Some of these storms have become strong
to severe east of HYR. This will very likely impact the HYR TAF
terminal over the next few hours, at least, and possibly for BRD
and DLH, although it is less likely for these locations to see big
impacts to flight categories. The other major area of focus will
be on marine-layer fog and low stratus developing off Lake
Superior this evening and overnight, impacting DLH. IFR/LIFR
conditions at DLH are anticipated, which may make its way towards
HIB and possibly HYR overnight tonight. Another round of showers
and thunderstorms are expected to make its way from west to east
Friday morning, with yet another round of storms Friday afternoon.

.MARINE...
Issued at 328 PM CDT Thu Jun 10 2021

Satellite reveals some fog still lingering along the North Shore
this afternoon. We expect fog to expand once again overnight and we
will likely expand the advisory to include the South Shore. Isolated
convection is slowly populating across NW WI and the vast majority
of it will likely stay south of the Lake. Saxon Harbor has the
better odds of seeing storms then the other near shore waters.
Additionally, overnight a northeast wind will enhance and waves 2-4
ft will build along the Apostle Islands. A small craft advisory has
been issued for this hazard. As we head into the morning hours the
advisory will likely be expanded to the head of the Lake and
potentially the portions of the North Shore due to wind gusts
upwards of 25 kts and building waves.
