Marine Weather and Tides
Version 3.4 |
12/16/2019 NOAA is having trouble with requests that include wind gusts. I am posting graphs without wind gusts until it gets fixed. 10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. |

SHORT TERM. (This evening through Tuesday night) Issued at 307 PM CST Mon Jan 27 2020
Not much will change over the next 36 to 48 hours. A split flow jet pattern will continue the stagnant airmass over the Upper Midwest with persistent cloud cover. A weak upper wave will move over WI tonight increasing the threat for patchy freezing drizzle in west- central WI. Elsewhere, the increased low level moisture will result in mist/haze. The fog threat will remain low as stratus will keep the overnight lows in the mid 10s.
Tuesday high temperatures remain near climatological average. An upper level ridge will build in and result in light and variable winds. The GFS and NBM are optimistic and want to break up the cloud cover Tuesday afternoon, but in reality the low stratus deck should hold together. Guidance indicates another weak disturbance for Tuesday night. A high pop low QPF event for western MN with light snow and little to no accumulation.
LONG TERM. (Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 307 PM CST Mon Jan 27 2020
The split flow pattern persists through much of the long term forecast period, with occasional blips of light precipitation possible, but nothing in terms of major systems foreseen.
The first chance of light precipitation will arrive Thursday night and Friday, as a weak wave drops down from Manitoba. Forcing and moisture are both relatively weak, so amounts should be relatively light. At this point the precipitation type is expected to be snow given that temperatures look cold enough and the dendritic layer is saturated attendant with the lift.
Southwestern CONUS mid-level ridging looks to build into the central CONUS over the weekend, although there are differences between the GFS and ECMWF regarding the timing and amplitude. The GFS features one more shortwave dropping south from Canada on Friday night into Saturday, while the ECMWF already features (dry) ridging into the Upper Midwest. Maintained low chance POPS for this wave, but those could end up going away if trends are toward the ECMWF model. The arrival of ridging will bring even more mild temperatures for next weekend, with highs in the lower 40s appearing possible for Sunday.
AVIATION. (For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening) Issued at 556 PM CST Mon Jan 27 2020
Overcast skies will continue with MVFR/IFR ceilings overnight and through Tuesday. Winds will be light, which is part of the reason why we can't get rid of this low level moisture and clouds. No changes in the weather patters for at least the next few days.
KMSP . Overcast skies will continue with MVFR/IFR ceilings overnight and through Tuesday. Was optimistic and put ceilings above 1700 Tuesday evening, but this might not come to fruition. Winds will be light, which is part of the reason why we can't get rid of this low level moisture and clouds. No changes in the weather patters for at least the next few days.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
