DISCUSSION. (Today through Tuesday) Issued at 358 AM CDT Wed Apr 21 2021
Summary: Another round of scattered afternoon rain and snow showers will be possible today across the Northland. Tomorrow will see widespread sunshine before a chance of rain moves in on Friday and continues through the weekend. Temps gradually increase the next couple days, with highs in the low 60s on Thursday. Cooler temps move in this weekend, with highs in the 40s on both Saturday and Sunday.
A longwave trough remains positioned over the Great Lakes region this morning and is expected to be centered over Michigan today before propagating east. This trough will provide vorticity at 500mb, which is likely to lead to another round of scattered rain and snow showers this afternoon. Forcing, and therefore precip, will primarily be concentrated in the Arrowhead and northwest WI. Expect precip to initially start off as snow this morning before transitioning to rain in the afternoon. Snow accumulations are likely to be minimal. However, a couple tenths of snow are possible for portions of the CWA. Highest snow accumulations will be along and east of U.S. 63 in northwest WI, where snow amounts up to a half inch are possible this morning.
The limiting factor for snow accumulation and precip reaching the ground today will be the dry air near the surface. Model soundings show an inverted V profile extending up to 800mb across the CWA. This low level dry air will likely evaporate most of the rain and snow before it reaches the surface. Therefore, confidence in snow amounts exceeding a couple tenths of an inch this morning is low. However, there is still the chance for a pocket of heavier snow that might overcome the lack of low level moisture and overperform snowfall-wise. Therefore, slightly higher amounts up to 0.5" was kept in the forecast for portions of Iron and Price County. This amount was supported by several models, which helped increase confidence above the point of removal from the forecast. Expect rain and snow to taper off in the late afternoon, as the mixed layer deepens, the low levels further dry out, and the trough continues to move east.
This trough will exit the region tomorrow as a ridge builds over the CWA. This ridge will result in sunny skies and high temps on Thursday reaching the low 60s across much of the area. This brief reprieve from the rain and snow will be short-lived though as low pressure from Colorado moves into the Northland on Friday. This low will bring a chance for rain and snow across much of the area. Hot on the heels of Friday's low pressure will be a shortwave trough, which will keep rain and snow in the forecast on Saturday. Next week may continue the active pattern, with periodic chances for rain and snow.
AVIATION. (For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning) Issued at 641 AM CDT Wed Apr 21 2021
VFR conditions throughout the period. Scattered diurnal rain and snow showers are likely to develop this afternoon. However, cig and vsby reductions are not expected due to a layer of dry air near the surface. Most of the rain and snow that falls today is likely to evaporate before reaching the surface. This will greatly reduce rain/snowfall magnitude and impact this afternoon.
MARINE. Issued at 358 AM CDT Wed Apr 21 2021
Winds this morning are expected to be northwest at 5 to 10 knots. This afternoon, winds along the North Shore and in the Apostle Islands are expected to increase to 10 to 15 knots. Wind direction shifts to the southwest tonight for most zones as a ridge builds over the area. This shift to southwest winds of 10 to 15 knots will result in waves building to 1 to 3 feet along the North Shore. Higher waves of 2 to 4 feet will be possible on Thursday from Taconite Harbor to Grand Portage. In addition, the outer Apostle Islands also have the potential to see these 2-4 foot waves. Elsewhere, waves are expected to remain at 2 feet or less today and tomorrow.
