.DISCUSSION...(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 313 PM CDT Wed Jun 9 2021

Summary: Showers and thunderstorms have developed in the western
CWA and will move northeastward through the evening. Warm
temperatures will continue through the much of the workweek with
big changes on the way for temperatures next week.

Showers and thunderstorms have developed out ahead of a midlevel
shortwave trough over northwestern Minnesota. Said trough will
move northeastward/eastward pushing the convection in the same
direction toward southern Canada and northeastern Minnesota
through the evening hours. MLCAPE is as high as 1500 J/kg this
afternoon for the far western portion of the CWA. Bulk shear is
relatively weak around 30 to 35 knots. Widespread severe weather
is not expected, but can not rule out dime size hail and strong
winds. Should also mention that instability does drop off towards
the lake so any convection that does develop will likely not
survive as it pushes eastward into the more stable air.

Warm temperatures will continue for the region as a ridge axis
pushes back northward Thursday morning allowing for above normal
high temperatures. A weak cold front will drop southeastward into
northeastern Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin by the afternoon
hours. The better forcing and instability is over northwestern
Wisconsin with MLCAPE values over 3000 J/kg with weak shear near
20 knots. SPC has a marginal area out which seems reasonable.

Another chance of showers and thunderstorms will be Friday
afternoon as another cold front will be moving into the western
portion of the CWA by around 21Z. Again, the best instability will
be over northwestern Wisconsin with MLCAPE values near 1500-2200
J/kg. Bulk shear values are near 25 to 30 knots.

After the cold front moves through temperatures will be closer to
normal for this time of year with highs in the upper 70 to low
80s. As usual temperatures will be cooler by the lake.
