Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Duluth MN 644 AM CDT Thu Apr 22 2021
DISCUSSION. (Today through Wednesday) Issued at 355 AM CDT Thu Apr 22 2021
Summary: Near critical fire weather conditions are expected today due to dry air near the surface and breezy winds. Today will be sunny with highs in the 60s across much of the Northland. A wet period begins on Friday with rain and snow remaining in the forecast through the weekend and into next week.
Today will be a change up from the past few days, with abundant sunshine and high temps warming into the 60s across much of the area. This is a result of a ridge and subsequent warm air advection that will occur from breezy southwest flow. The main concern today will be the near critical fire weather conditions across much of the CWA. Model soundings show a strong inverted V profile this afternoon, with the top of the mixed layer hovering around 750mb. The lack of moisture in the lower levels will result in low RH values around 20-25%. This deep mixed layer will also mix down wind gusts this afternoon of 15-20 MPH.
These near critical fire weather conditions will be short-lived as a shortwave and associated sfc low propagate into the area tonight. This shortwave will moisten the lower levels and bring rain on Friday. Expect rain to start in the morning hours on Friday and continue throughout the day. The rain and increased cloud cover on Friday will reduce high temps into the upper 40s to mid 50s. Rain will transition to snow Friday night as temps drop below freezing. Northeast Minnesota has the best chance for accumulating snow, since the cold front associated with the shortwave will have reached northwest Wisconsin by 00z on Saturday. Expect snow accumulations on Friday night to only be a few tenths of an inch in northeast Minnesota.
Immediately after Friday's shortwave moves east, a second shortwave will move into the CWA early Saturday morning. This will sustain the rain and snow showers into Saturday morning. This second shortwave will result in a few tenths of snow accumulation on Saturday morning across portions of northwest Wisconsin and the Arrowhead. Storm total snowfall from both Friday night and Saturday morning will only be a few tenths of an inch for portions of the area. However, northern Lake and Cook Counties may see slightly higher amounts around half an inch.
The remainder of the weekend into next week will remain wet as a series of shortwaves cross the CWA. Expect a diurnal trend in precip type as temps drop below freezing at night and daytime highs warm into the 50s and 60s.
AVIATION. (For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday morning) Issued at 644 AM CDT Thu Apr 22 2021
VFR conditions are expected today through tonight. Gusty winds will develop this afternoon across all terminals and continue until easing this evening. Low pressure moves into the area early tomorrow morning, leading to increased cloud cover and MVFR cigs for BRD. Elsewhere, cigs will remain VFR tomorrow morning.
MARINE. Issued at 355 AM CDT Thu Apr 22 2021
Southwest winds today will be breezy around 10-15 knots. These winds will result in waves building to 1-3 feet along the North Shore from Taconite Harbor to Grand Portage as well as the western edge of the Outer Apostle Islands. Elsewhere today, waves are expected to be 2 feet or less. A ridge building over western Lake Superior will result in sunny skies today. Low pressure moves into the region tonight, developing rain showers on Friday afternoon. Winds remain southwesterly tomorrow at 10-15 knots with 1-3 foot waves in the previously mentioned zones along the North Shore and Apostle Islands. Winds shift Friday night to the north-northwest as a cold front crosses the region.
