Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Duluth MN 415 AM CDT MON JUN 13 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Tuesday) Issued at 415 AM CDT Mon Jun 13 2016 As the rain ends across the Northland this morning another round is one the way Tuesday. While away from Lake Superior some clearing is expected today, near the lake cloudy skies are expected to persist through the short-term period due to easterly winds ahead of the next low pressure system. Temperatures seasonable away from the lake, but a bit cooler than normal near the lake today and tomorrow. On the synoptic scale the mid-level ridge axis across the upper Midwest into northwest Ontario will gradually slide eastward across the upper Great Lakes today. The longwave trough over the desert southwest will move across the Rockies today, ejecting into the Great Plains on Tuesday. This will result in clouds and increasing chances for precipitation on Tuesday, with the best chances for thunderstorms remaining south of the CWA. Available convection- allowing models (CAMs) show various solutions with regards to timing, but by Tuesday afternoon expect showers and possibly a few thunderstorms moving into the Brainerd Lakes region. Today as the rain ends skies should clear across north-central Minnesota as the mid/upper level moisture exits and a weak high pressure builds in. Around Lake Superior low stratus clouds and fog are expected due to weak low level flow off the lake. These winds will also impact temperatures resulting in highs only in the mid 50s near Lake Superior, while where skies can clear across north-central to northeast Minnesota highs will warm up into the mid 70s. In northwest Wisconsin low/mid level clouds will be slow to clear limiting diurnal heating, with highs only in the mid 60s to near 70. Tonight partly cloudy skies expected with areas of fog around Lake Superior possible. Lows in the mid 40s near the lake, low to mid 50s away from the lake. Increasing clouds from south to north on Tuesday. Rain chances increasing in the afternoon from south to north. Thunderstorms possible, but at this point it looks like the threat for severe thunderstorms will be limited due to a lack of instability aloft. Highs ranging from the mid 50s to low 70s - again cooler by the lake. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Sunday) Issued at 415 AM CDT Mon Jun 13 2016 The first part of the long term forecast is shaping up to be quite active, as a major shortwave and surface low pressure system pushes into the Northland. Showers and thunderstorms will become numerous across the region by Tuesday Night, and continue into Wednesday before decreasing from the southwest. Strong forcing and abundant moisture should set the stage for locally heavy rainfall Tuesday Night and Wednesday. After locally heavy rainfall across portions of northern Minnesota this morning, we will need to watch a few areas very closely. We could easily see basin averages of 1 to 2 inches, with locally higher amounts. The showers and storms will gradually decrease Wednesday Night, as Strong upper level ridging moves into the Northland. This upper level ridge will bring very warm and humid air back into the area for the end of the work week. In fact, Thursday and Friday are expected to be generally dry, with warm and muggy conditions. The upper level ridge will flatten a bit over the upcoming weekend, as shortwave energy slides along south central Canada. There are some major differences in the models toward the latter part of the weekend with the GFS bringing very wet conditions for Sunday, and ECMWF favoring a generally isolated to scattered precipitation pattern. As a result, there is fairly low confidence in any particular deterministic solution for the upcoming weekend. High temperatures throughout the long term period are expected to be in the 70s and 80s, with a bit cooler weather expected on Wednesday due to clouds and rain. Lows will mainly be in the 50s and 60s. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night) Issued at 1210 AM CDT Mon Jun 13 2016 Showers and thunderstorms will persist through 12Z/7am in northwest Wisconsin, ending earlier in northeast Minnesota. MVFR ceilings are forecast with this activity. Some areas of drizzle and fog are possible. Look for an improvement to VFR through the morning. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
