...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM CDT THIS
EVENING...

* WHAT...Dangerous swimming conditions continue along the Lake 
  Superior shoreline due to high wave action and strong rip 
  currents.

* WHERE...Minnesota Park Point and Wisconsin Point Beaches.

* WHEN...Until 10 PM CDT this evening.

* IMPACTS...High wave action can make swimming difficult on days
  such as this. Incoming waves in rapid succession can tire even
  an experienced swimmer quickly. Rip currents can usher you away
  from land. To avoid being swept away, swim parallel to the shore
  to exit a rip current.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.

  Advisories may be needed.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 404 AM CDT Tue Aug 5 2025

Today and Tonight...Another day of scattered showers and
isolated thunder is expected today, with generally weak forcing
and only enough instability to help generate a few rumbles of
thunder. The weak forcing makes it hard to determine exactly
where convection should develop, but it should be out there
today. Since it will be at least partially diurnally drive, I
expect an afternoon peak of activity, which then decreases
overnight tonight. Temperatures will be a few degrees warmer
than yesterday.

Wednesday into Thursday...The convective evolution during this
time frame will be the tricky part, with a lot of spread in the
model solutions. Have had to use some gut intuition with this
part of it. There should be an area of more organized convection
that develops over North and South Dakota this afternoon in the
area of the Day 1 SPC Slight risk. This convection will slide
towards the CWA overnight, which gradually diminishes in
intensity with time. While we do not expect any severe weather
from it, we do have the potential for some stronger storms early
Wednesday morning. After this convection diminishes, new
convection should develop Wednesday afternoon and evening from
eastern North Dakota up into northern Minnesota before moving
east Wednesday night into Thursday. The evolution of all this
will depend on what happens tonight, and this may need some
adjustments as the trends settle. For now we have a Marginal
risk of severe storms over the Brainerd Lakes area Wednesday,
and I expect adjustments to it as well.

Thursday through Saturday, hot and humid conditions push north
into the area with strengthening southerly flow and a warm front
to our north. While this pattern will hopefully put some
rainfall down across Manitoba and Ontario on those wildfires, we
should get at least a lull in the convection. However, we are
looking at above normal temperatures, with enough moisture to
make for very muggy conditions on both days. Our warmest day
should be Friday, with highs pushing to around 90 for areas
south of highway 2, with mid to upper 80s elsewhere. The
humidity will make it particularly uncomfortable, with overnight
low temperatures well above normal, approaching record warm low
temperatures. We may need Heat Advisories for at least parts of
the area Thursday and Friday. A cold front moves through the
area Friday night into Saturday, bringing relief from the heat
for the weekend. It will also bring back greater chances for
showers and storms Friday night into Saturday.

Sunday into early next week the heat dome pushes back out of
the area leaving us with a return to seasonable temperatures.
There should be some mostly diurnally driven showers and storms
Sunday through Tuesday.

.AVIATION /12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY/...
Issued at 636 AM CDT Tue Aug 5 2025

High pressure to our northeast will keep generally southeast
winds with mainly VFR conditions in place through much of the
forecast. Gustier winds will likely develop late this morning
through the afternoon for KINL, KBRD and KHIB. Scattered showers
are ongoing around the MN terminals as of issuance time which
should weaken and dissipate through mid morning, then re-develop
this afternoon for the same areas and continue into early
evening. A widespread area of showers and storms with MVFR
ceilings will spread in from the west after 09z to affect KINL,
KBRD and KHIB through 12z.

&&

.MARINE /FOR NEAR SHORE WATERS OF WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR/...
Issued at 404 AM CDT Tue Aug 5 2025

Northeast winds continue for the western portions of Lake
Superior today with a high pressure to the east of the area.
Northeast winds will strengthen once again this afternoon and
evening with peak gusts in the 15 to 20 knot range and waves
building up to 2 to 3 feet before diminishing again tonight. An
approaching low pressure system on Wednesday will increase winds
out of the east to southeast across all of western Lake
Superior, as well as a chance of showers and thunderstorms in
the afternoon and night. Storms may bring a localized area of
stronger winds and built up waves, but otherwise winds will
remain under 15 knots with waves of 2 feet or less.
