.DISCUSSION...(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 417 PM CDT Wed Jun 23 2021

Summary: Mostly clear skies with strong southerly wind have
developed this afternoon. Showers and thunderstorms likely this
evening into Thursday morning with possible redevelopment Thursday
afternoon. Temperatures will be relatively normal for the
remainder of the work week.

Winds have been out of the south/southwest Wednesday afternoon
ahead of our next cold front that is currently over north central
North Dakota to northeastern Montana. Due to the strong southerly
winds, temperatures across the CWA have reached into the lower
80s with dew points in the low 50s.

Severe weather is possible this evening as showers and
thunderstorms develop along and west of the cold front as it moves
into Koochiching county by 00Z. Convective initiation will be
slightly elevated with MUCAPE values of 1000-1500 J/kg and Lapse
Rates of 6.5-7 C/km. Bulk shear values are near 35 to 45 knots
which favors supercell development. Strong southerly winds will
continue to help destabilize the atmosphere therefore 06Z MUCAPE
values will increase to around 1300 J/kg based on GFS and 2300
J/kg based on the NAM12. CAMS are indicating that discrete
supercells will combine into a line by Thursday morning over
northwest Wisconsin. Wind gusts up to 60 mph and hail to one inch
are possible with the stronger storms.

The cold front appears to become stationary over northwestern
Wisconsin leading to additional convective development by Thursday
afternoon. MUCAPE values of around 2100 J/kg can be found along
the front. There is a slight risk for our far southeastern county
in Wisconsin. Some soundings indicate a cap around 750mb which
supports the lack of convection with the NAMNEST.

After the front moves through temperatures will be closer to
normal for the remainder of the work week. Our next chance of
precipitation will be towards early next week.

.AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday night)
Issued at 101 AM CDT Thu Jun 24 2021

Thunderstorms this morning will continue moving east-southeastward,
likely reducing VFR conditions to IFR as storms pass over the
terminal. Gusty winds up to 40 knots and small hail are going to
be the primary hazard this morning. A few storms may become
severe in DLH and HYR over the next few hours with gusts
exceeding 50 knots and hail up to 1 inch. LLWS will also be
possible in HYR this morning due to the strengthening of the low-
level jet. Showers and storms have already passed INL and BRD
with VFR conditions expected to continue throughout the period. As
the cold front sweeps across the area later this morning, expect
all terminals to improve to VFR as skies clear.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 952 AM CDT Wed Jun 23 2021

Winds will be out of the south/southwest 10 to 15 knots with
gusts to less than 25 knots. A cold front will be passing through
this evening into Thursday morning. Showers and thunderstorms will
likely develop along and west of the front and move southeastward
approaching Lake Superior after midnight. After the cold front
moves through the winds will switch to the northwest at 5 to 10
knots.
