(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus63 kdlh 202352 afddlh area forecast discussion national weather service duluth mn 652 pm cdt Tue aug 20 2019 Update Issued at 640 pm cdt Tue aug 20 2019 updated for the 00z aviation discussion. Short term (this evening through Wednesday night) issued at 304 pm cdt Tue aug 20 2019 a cool canadian high pressure builds in across the northern great plains and the upper midwest today into tomorrow leading to mainly sunny skies and temperatures near to slightly below seasonal values. Breezy Wednesday with northwest winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph. Late this afternoon isolated showers storms are possible along and ahead of the cold front, with the most likely location right along the front. A few thunderstorms have already been observed across the iron range early this afternoon, and while the severe threat should be fairly low with limited instability (around 500-1000 j kg mlcape) and decent shear (about 40 knots of mainly speed shear along the front), some storms could produce gusty winds or small hail, but overall think the storms will be too brief in nature to pose a severe risk. On the synoptic scale a fairly amplified longwave ridge is over the rockies, building east into the canadian prairie and northern great plains on Wednesday leading to a broad area of high pressure building from saskatchewan into manitoba Wednesday, towards northwest ontario on Wednesday night. At the same time a shortwave trough associated with an upper low over northwest ontario today will track south into northern minnesota and across the upper great lakes late tonight into the day Wednesday. While the best large- scale forcing from this upper low will remain across ontario, some of the low mid level moisture associated with the system may cause some increasing clouds across northeast minnesota Wednesday afternoon into Wednesday night. Otherwise this low will simply reinforcing the cooler air at low levels, resulting in highs in the the 60s to near 70 on Wednesday afternoon. Lows tonight and Wednesday night will fall to the 40s in most spots and perhaps into the upper 30s in some of the usual cold spots. The exception will be right along the lake superior shoreline where the warm water temperatures will keep the lows from falling below 50 degrees on the lakeshore. Long term (Thursday through Tuesday) issued at 304 pm cdt Tue aug 20 2019 high pressure will be in place at the surface to start the period. However, a large upper low to the south of hudson bay will spin a rather potent shortwave through the upper midwest during the day Thursday. Given the cooler temperatures temperatures aloft and the shortwave moving through, a few isolated showers cannot be ruled out, but this threat is so minuscule have left it out for now. The high will then shift to the east Thursday night into Friday as ridging moves in aloft. With the core of the high moving near northwest wisconsin Thursday night, have lowered lows into the lower 40s with a few upper 30s given the clear skies and light winds. Areas along and to the east of the iron range may dip down into the upper 30s and lower 40s as well. As the high continues to move to the east Friday, this will setup southerly flow across the northland and bring in warmer and more moist air. A shortwave will move across the dakotas and bring some shower activity to the dakotas and western minnesota during the day. This shortwave then weakens Friday night early Saturday morning, but showers and perhaps a few storms may work into our western zones during this period. Another shortwave will then traverse the northern plains on Saturday and |
bring an area of showers and storms from the dakotas into western minnesota. While guidance is in fair agreement in bringing a shortwave through the northern plains, they differ in how far east the associated precipitation reaches. As such, much of the northland looks to remain dry on Saturday, but western areas will see chances for rain. Another shortwave will then rotate around the base of the longwave trough for Sunday into Monday and looks to be a bit stronger than the previous two. Guidance is in agreement that surface cyclogenesis will occur somewhere in the upper midwest during this time period, but differ in location in timing. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible for much of Sunday and Monday with the front pushing through towards the end of the period. Given the moisture and warm temperatures from the southerly flow leading up to the latter half of the weekend, along with the upper pattern and surface cold front, there will be the potential for strong to severe storms sometime during the Sunday Monday period. Temperatures will begin the period in the middle 60s to lower 70s in Thursday before warming into the 70s for the remainder of the period. Thursday and Friday morning will start out rather chilly for this time of year with lows in the middle 40s to upper 30s. Lows then return to the 50s and 60s for the remainder of the period. Aviation (for the 00z tafs through 00z Wednesday evening) issued at 640 pm cdt Tue aug 20 2019 a few scattered clouds this evening will clear out this evening with high pressure influencing our area. With clear skies and light winds overnight, fog could be an issue particularly at hib and possibly hyr. Most model guidance does not have fog developing, but given climatology, recent rainfall, ideal radiational cooling conditions tonight, and the fact that hib did see visibilities as low as 1 2 sm last night, decided to add a period of MVFR visibility in the morning. Confidence is not as high at hyr, so added a mention of br but kept visibility at 6 sm for now. Other than the fog risk, expectingVFR conditions through the TAF period with some scattered clouds developing Wednesday afternoon. Winds may become a bit blustery Wednesday afternoon with gusts around or just over 15 kt. Marine Issued at 304 pm cdt Tue aug 20 2019 no hazardous conditions are expected over the next 48 hours. A cold front will move across western lake superior this evening. There may be an isolated shower or perhaps a thunderstorm, but chances are low. Winds will turn northwesterly at 4 to 8 knots with a few gusts to 15 knots through around sunset. Winds will remain out of the northwest at 5 to 10 knots on Wednesday with gusts to 15 knots. By Thursday, winds will turn easterly at 3 to 6 knots. Waves will be 2 feet or less through the period.

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. |
