.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 244 PM CDT Fri Oct 4 2024
This Afternoon:
Mostly sunny skies out there this afternoon with some high
cirrus and a bit of cumulus over the Arrowhead. Not
surprisingly, we have dried out with relative humidity as low as
~20% for a few places and around 25-30% for most. Fire weather
conditions remain elevated this afternoon, but not as bad as
they could be since wind gusts are generally around or less than
20 mph.
Tonight through Saturday Night:
Ahead of a low pressure system skirting just north of the
Canadian border and heading east towards the region on Saturday,
strong southerly flow and a low-level jet will develop tonight.
Wind speeds will gradually increase overnight, and we will have
a bit of increasing low-level moisture as well, so a few clouds
will be possible Saturday morning. As a cold front pushes
through from west to east mid-day Saturday into early Saturday
night, expect increasing clouds and rain chances. There remain a
few timing differences among CAMs, but generally there is
agreement on showers developing around the Arrowhead into
northwest Wisconsin Saturday afternoon, tapping into some
diurnal instability, and quickly moving east into the evening.
There will be a short window where a few thunderstorms will be
possible. With plenty of shear aloft, an isolated strong to
severe storm can't be completely ruled out. Strong winds will be
the main threat, but can't rule out a little hail up to quarter
size too. Overall, the threat for severe weather is small, only
about 2-5%. Rainfall is not expected to be significant, though
we could use it. Totals to around a quarter of an inch where
thunderstorms develop and lesser amounts elsewhere.
The other concern for Saturday will be the potential for near-
critical fire weather conditions, which will be most likely for
the north-central part of Minnesota. This is where rain chances
are expected to be slim to none and there's a higher potential
for relative humidity to fall to 30-40%. Strong southerly winds
regionwide gusting to 30-35 mph, locally up to 40 mph, will be
the primary contributor to near-critical fire weather
conditions. The current expectation is that areas further east
will see clouds and rain developing Saturday afternoon, which
should lead to some improvement of relative humidity and tamper
fire weather conditions.
Sunday:
As the cold front passes through Saturday night, winds will
gradually shift northwesterly going into Sunday. There may be a
little wraparound rain showers, but nothing that will amount to
any appreciable accumulation. Temperatures cool down with highs
in the 50s to 60s. We may have a continuation of near-critical
fire weather conditions as winds remain in that 30-35 mph area
for gusts from the northwest, and min RH falls into the 30-50%
range for most places.
Monday through Friday:
Ridging develops across the western CONUS, and as such, we will
continue the pattern we have been seeing the past month or so
with mild, dry weather without rain chances. Fortunately, there
are no major signals for very breezy days, but nevertheless,
fire weather conditions will likely remain elevated with the
continuing dry weather.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 634 PM CDT Fri Oct 4 2024
A low-level jet builds west to east tonight first in north-
central Minnesota. Low level wind shear remains expected at all
TAF sites for at least a 4-6 hour time period as the strongest
jet lingers overhead and pre-morning mixing. As a cold front
moves into northwest Minnesota late Saturday morning, the
chances of scattered light rain showers increase again first in
north-central Minnesota. The cold front travels eastward into
the afternoon to spread those scattered light rain chances into
northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin into the mid to late
afternoon hours. Instability builds into an area primed with
sufficient wind shear for isolated strong thunderstorm potential
late Saturday afternoon and into the evening hours in northwest
Wisconsin. Erratic outflow wind gusts to 45 knots are possible
near the strongest thunderstorms after 21Z Saturday, with very
small hail also possible. The southerly winds shift
southwesterly behind the front tomorrow afternoon, and further
west-northwesterly into the evening hours Saturday.
&&
.MARINE /FOR NEAR SHORE WATERS OF WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR/...
Issued at 315 PM CDT Fri Oct 4 2024
Southwest winds remain elevated offshore of Grand Portage late
this afternoon so a Small Craft Advisory continues into early
this evening. Winds further increase across the western waters
overnight ahead of an incoming low pressure. Strong south to
southeast winds Saturday create a day of widespread conditions
hazardous to small craft. Gale force gusts are most likely
Saturday offshore of Grand Marais so the Gale Watch has been
extended into Saturday late morning for that zone. As the cold
front passes over the lake Saturday evening, winds shift
westerly Saturday night. Behind the front late Saturday night,
the winds increase from the west-northwest to reach gale-force
areawide for early Sunday morning and lasting into early Sunday
night. A few thunderstorms are possible (10% chance) over the
South Shore nearshore waters Saturday late afternoon.
