AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DULUTH MN 430 AM CDT MON JUN 18 2001 AT THIS TIME...A LONG CHAIN OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES TO TRAIN ALONG THE SOUTHERN BORDER AND IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF OUR FORECAST AREA. WE DON/T EXPECT THIS COAL TRAIN TO EDGE NORTH. A STRONG CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER EASTERN SD AND ANOTHER SERIOUS CLUSTER OVER SOUTHERN WI SHOULD CUT OFF ENERGY TO THE SYSTEM NEAR US IN A FEW HOURS. TODAY...OVERRUNNING RAIN AND HIGH BASE THUNDERSTORMS WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE AREA AS A DEEP LOW OVER WESTERN MN MOVES NORTH-NORTHEAST TOWARD WESTERN ONTARIO. LOW STABILITIES MOVE IN TO AREAS SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST OF DULUTH...SO AREAS TO OUR SOUTH WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED ALL DAY. A NORTH-SOUTH TEMPERATURE GRADIENT EXISTS WEST OF DULUTH AS WE WENT WITH MAV TEMPS SOUTH OF DULUTH AND A LITTLE BELOW THEM TO THE NORH. A THIRD AREA...ALONG THE NORTH SHORE...WILL NOT WARM UP AT ALL...AS AN ONSHORE FLOW INCREASES. TONIGHT...A STRONG COLD FRONT ENDS RAIN THIS EVENING...WITH RAPID DRYING AFTERWARD. TUESDAY...DRYING WILL RESULT IN SOME SUNSHINE. WE WENT JUST BELOW MAV TEMPERATURES DUE TO CLOUDS FROM A STEEPENING LAPSE RATE AS COLD ADVECTION ALOFT PROCEEDS. VORTICIES REMAIN HIGH TO SUPPORT THIS. WITH A STRONG OFFSHORE FLOW...A CLEAR...VERY WARM DAY WILL RESULT ALONG THE IMMEDIATE NORTH SHORE...WITH THE HIGHER TEMPERATURES ACROSS MN OCCURRING ALONG THE WATER EDGE. .DLH...NONE. EOM
