NWS Duluth, MN wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 28, 5:53 AM CST, 1 hour 25 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DULUTH MN 653 AM CDT TUE JUL 28 2015 .SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY) ISSUED AT 443 AM CDT TUE JUL 28 2015 A COMPLEX FORECAST IN THE SHORT TERM AS TWO ROUNDS OF SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION TODAY...THEN BECOMING VERY WINDY TOMORROW BEHIND A STRONG COLD FRONT. AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE CURRENTLY ALONG THE NORTH DAKOTA/CANADA BORDER THIS MORNING WILL PROGRESS NORTHEASTWARD TODAY WITH A SECONDARY LOW ALONG THE CENTRAL ND/SD BORDER THIS MORNING PROGRESSING IN A SIMILAR FASHION TOWARDS NORTHEAST MINNESOTA TONIGHT. FROM THIS SECONDARY LOW PRESSURE EXTENDS A WARM FRONT WHICH BY 18Z WILL BE LIFTING NORTHEAST TOWARDS THE BRAINERD LAKES REGION. AHEAD OF THIS WARM FRONT AN MCS WAS PROGRESSING EASTWARD OUT OF THE DAKOTAS INTO WEST-CENTRAL TO SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA. FOCUS FOR THIS MORNING WILL BE THE CONVECTION MOVING IN FROM THE WEST AHEAD OF THE WARM FRONT...WITH THE QUESTION OF JUST HOW WELL THESE STORMS HOLD UP AS THEY REACH THE NORTHLAND. SHORT-RANGE GUIDANCE AND MESOANLYSIS INDICATE APPRECIABLE ELEVATED INSTABILITY IS IN PLACE AS OF 09Z THIS MORNING ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL MINNESOTA WITH 500-1000 J/KG MUCAPE. SHOULD STORMS SUSTAIN...WHICH PER LATEST RADAR/LIGHTNING THEY DO NOT SHOW SIGNS OF WEAKENING YET...WIDESPREAD STRONG THUNDERSTORMS PRODUCING INTENSE RAINFALL WILL OVERSPREAD MUCH OF NORTHEAST MINNESOTA THIS MORNING. THIS FIRST ROUND OF STORMS WILL BE IN A VERY MOIST ENVIRONMENT WITH PWATS APPROACHING 2.0 INCHES ACROSS THE REGION...WHICH IS IN THE 99TH PERCENTILE COMPARED TO CLIMO FOR PARTS OF THE REGION. THINK THE QPF OUTPUT FROM MUCH OF THE GUIDANCE IS A BIT UNDERDONE GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR DOWNPOURS. STORM MOTIONS SHOULD BE SWIFT ENOUGH TO LIMIT FLOODING RISK...BUT LOCALIZED FLOODING IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE WITH THIS TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT. EARLY THIS AFTERNOON THIS CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO RUN OUT OF STEAM AS IT PROGRESSES INTO NORTHWEST WISCONSIN AND THE MINNESOTA ARROWHEAD AS IT MOVES AHEAD OF THE BEST ELEVATED INSTABILITY. STILL HAVE SOME CONCERNS WITH THIS...BUT THINK AS SOON AS IT CROSS THE STATE LINE WE WILL SEE A RAPID DECREASE IN INTENSITY AS STORMS WEAKEN. ACROSS THE REST OF THE REGION THE MORNING CONVECTION WILL DIMINISH...THOUGH THE HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL MAKE FOR A MUGGY AFTERNOON. CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO LINGER THROUGH THE DAY...THOUGH ANY CLEARING THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL/NORTHEAST MINNESOTA WILL INCREASE THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER THIS AFTERNOON. THIS AFTERNOON...THE NORTH-SOUTH ORIENTED COLD FRONT WILL PROGRESS EASTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN MINNESOTA. WHILE ISOLATED CONVECTION WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG THE FRONT...THERE WILL BE A STRONG CAP IN PLACE DUE TO THE VERY WARM AIRMASS AHEAD OF THE FRONT. HOWEVER...STORMS THAT DO BREAK THE CAP WILL RAPIDLY GROW DUE TO EXTREME INSTABILITY...MLCAPE VALUES 2000-400 J/KG PER A BLEND OF SHORT-RANGE GUIDANCE. WIND PROFILES ARE NOT ESPECIALLY SUPPORTIVE OF SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS WITH ONLY 20-30KTS EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR AND WEAK WINDS AROUND 3-5KM PRODUCING A LESS-THAN-STELLAR HODOGRAPH. SHOULD STORMS DEVELOP THINK THEY COULD QUICKLY BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL...BUT NOT FOR LONG GIVEN THE WIND PROFILES...WITH GUSTY WINDS POSSIBLE AS STORMS COLLAPSE. THIS THREAT WILL NEED TO BE RE- EVALUATED DEPENDING ON HOW STORMS PROGRESS THIS MORNING...BUT AT THIS TIME THINK THERE IS A CONDITIONAL RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AS THE FRONT MOVES EAST ACROSS NORTHEAST MINNESOTA LATE THIS AFTERNOON. TONIGHT...FRONT WILL CLEAR THROUGH THE CWA BY THE EVENING HOURS WITH A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS/STORMS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE ARROWHEAD AND NORTHWEST WISCONSIN AHEAD OF IT...WITH SKIES CLEARING BEHIND THE FRONT. COLD AIR MOVING IN ALOFT SHOULD RESULT IN SOME LOWS REACHING THE UPPER 50S IN NORTHEAST MINNESOTA...THOUGH WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE 5 TO 10 MPH OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT. WEDNESDAY...WINDY WITH A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS ALONG THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER. AS THE MAIN SFC LOW PROGRESS NORTHWARD THROUGH WESTERN ONTARIO EXPECT SOME WRAP AROUND SHOWERS TO EFFECT THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER REGION...BUT OTHERWISE MOSTLY TO PARTLY SUNNY ACROSS THE REST OF THE REGION. WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN...DEEP MIXING TO AROUND 750MB WILL RESULT IN GUSTS TO 35-45 MPH BEING MIXED DOWN TO THE SURFACE. HIGHS WILL BE CLOSE TO SEASONABLE IN THE MID 70S TO NEAR 80...AND DOWN TO THE LOW 70S ACROSS THE INTERNATIONAL BORDER INTO THE TIP OF THE MINNESOTA ARROWHEAD REGION. .LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY) ISSUED AT 443 AM CDT TUE JUL 28 2015 THE EXTENDED PERIOD WILL FEATURE A PACIFIC... ALMOST ZONAL FLOW EARLY...THEN AS THE WESTERN RIDGE BUILDS EXPECT A MORE NORTHWESTERLY FLOW. ALL THE WHILE A CLOSED UPPER LOW WILL BECOME SEMI-PERMANENT OVER ONTARIO. IT IS THIS UPPER LOW THAT WILL PUSH EMBEDDED S/WVS THROUGH THE REGION LATER IN THE WEEK. THE MN ARROWHEAD WILL HAVE A CHANCE OF SOME SHOWERS THURSDAY NIGHT...BUT THE CHANCES OF MORE WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL COME LATE IN THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A STRONGER WAVE ROTATES ACROSS THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY MORNING) ISSUED AT 639 AM CDT TUE JUL 28 2015 SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE OVER THE MINNESOTA PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA THIS MORNING. CIGS WILL BE MAINLY VFR...BUT A FEW POCKETS OF MVFR. MORE SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON. SOME OF THE STORMS COULD HAVE DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOOON AND EVENING. EXPECT WINDS TO BE VERY GUSTY TOMORROW. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
