(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus63 kdlh 252354 aaa afddlh area forecast discussion... Updated national weather service duluth mn 654 pm cdt Sun aug 25 2019 Update Issued at 638 pm cdt Sun aug 25 2019 updated for the 00z aviation discussion below. Short term (this evening through Monday night) issued at 237 pm cdt Sun aug 25 2019 cool and wet tonight and through Monday as a slow-moving cold front moves across the northland from west to east. Along and ahead of this cold front, showers and a few thunderstorms will bring around an inch or two of much-needed rainfall to northeast minnesota and much of northwest wisconsin, with most of the rain falling through the day Monday. Lows fall to the 50s to near 60 tonight, rising into the upper 60s to near 70 on Monday. This cool and rainy pattern is driven by a longwave mid upper level trough approaching from the west across the canadian prairie and causing a resultant surface low to deepen over the manitoba-ontario border. While normally southerly flow that develops ahead of the trough at low levels would bring in warmer air, richer low level moisture, and elevated instability from the southwest, a pair of mid- level shortwave troughs over the great plains ahead of the main longwave trough axis are causing scattered to widespread precipitation and limiting the potential warm air advection as well as richer low level moisture from advecting north into the upper midwest. This will lead to limited instability, generally only around 500 j kg MUCAPE or less, greatest in central minnesota. Despite poor conditions for deep convection, there will be plenty of layer moisture and broad-scale lift for widespread rainfall across the region along and ahead of the front as a mid-level shortwave trough approaches from the west on Monday embedded within the greater longwave trough. As the surface low rapidly deepens Monday into Monday night, cool wrap-around flow will lead to continued chances for rainfall in the wake of the surface cold front, though the most intense precipitation rates are expected along and ahead of the cold frontal passage on Monday. Total rainfall amounts may vary locally due to embedded thunderstorms producing heavier rainfall rates as well as along- front storm motion causing some training effects, but generally most locations can expect at least a healthy inch of rainfall between tonight and Monday night, with locally higher amounts of 2 to as much as 3 inches of rainfall possible. While there are a number of factors that will affect where the highest rainfall amounts fall, the steep elevation change along the north shore may lead to some of the locally higher rainfall amounts due to near-perpendicular storm motion causing some terrain enhancement. At this point storms are not expected to be severe, and while heavy rainfall amounts are possible, recent dryness as well as moderate rainfall rates should limit flash flood potential. Finally, note that our radar will continue to be down through most of these week due to a major hardware upgrade. While technicians will be working through the rain, without the radar we depend on observations from spotters to help us monitor conditions on the ground. Please do not hesitate to report any minor flooding to the national weather service as well as rainfall totals - your reports are critical to us!

Long term (Tuesday through Sunday) issued at 237 pm cdt Sun aug 25 2019 a cool and wet pattern lingers through mid-week, then a return to |
drier conditions and slightly warmer temps late-week through next weekend. Temperatures remain slightly on the cool side, with highs generally in the mid 60s to near 70 each day and lows in the 40s. At this point no significant frost or freeze is anticipated through the weekend. On the synoptic scale northwest flow lingers through mid-week with residual mid-level moisture and cool air aloft leading to continued chances for rain showers Tuesday and Wednesday, with a mid-level shortwave trough aiding in the large-scale lift on Tuesday, then more just diurnally driven showers on Wednesday. A few thunderstorms are possible on Tuesday, but severe storms are unlikely. Late week a broad area of high pressure builds in from the west leading to dry conditions. Late in the weekend this area of high pressure builds over the upper great lakes, leading to southerly flow causing somewhat warmer air at low levels to advect northward. While the deterministic GFS and a few of the GEFS ensemble members speed up and amplify the broad scale flow which leads to a chance for rain late in the weekend into early next week, this is an outlier - odds are more likely that conditions remain dry through the weekend. Aviation (for the 00z tafs through 00z Monday evening) issued at 654 pm cdt Sun aug 25 2019 mostlyVFR conditions were observed as of the 00z TAF issuance, with some MVFR ifr visibility reductions at kbrd due to some light rain showers that have developed ahead of a cold front. This front will slowly move eastward this evening through the day Monday. Mostly ifr conditions are expected to build into the region ahead of the cold front on Monday due to ceilings between 500 to 1000 ft over much of the area. Showers with some isolated thunderstorms are possible through the day Monday, so some MVFR ifr visibility reductions will be possible as well. South to southeasterly winds will be gusty at times Monday, especially for khyr, khib, and kdlh, with gusts generally between 15 to 25 knots. Marine Issued at 1221 pm cdt Sun aug 25 2019 persistent southeasterly winds ahead of a front will lead to some larger waves along the north shore tonight into Monday night, especially north of silver bay where wave heights of 2 to 4 feet are possible. A small craft advisory may be needed. In addition to the stronger southeast winds, widespread showers and a few storms are possible late tonight through Monday night, with heavy rainfall possible at times. Once the front moves through late Monday, winds will switch to become westerly Tuesday through Wednesday with persistent 15 to 20 knots winds and gale force gusts up to 35 knots possible. A gale watch warning may be needed Tuesday and Wednesday for parts of western lake superior.

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. |
