-Thursday weather update; Chase plans for the next few days.

/Issued 1:02 PM CDT, Thursday, May 16th, 2013/

7-day rainfall forecast from the Weather Prediction Center valid through next Thursday, May 23, 2013.  Still looking at widespread 1-3"+ rain totals in Minnesota and much of Wisconsin this weekend and early next week.




















Note:  I won't be issuing any forecasts for the Twin Ports during the next several days.  I'm leaving Duluth Friday Afternoon for a storm chase mini-vacation.  Remember you can follow me on twitter @dlhmnwx30 as long as I have cell service I'll be tweeting.

My preliminary target/s are as follows:

Saturday:  Either South Dakota or Kansas.
Sunday:  Eastern Kansas area, possibly as far south as Oklahoma or as far north as Iowa.
Monday:  Eastern Iowa/Western Illinois (assuming I chase this day)

The ingredients appear to be coming together for a few days with severe thunderstorm potential.  Supercells will be possible as well.  Large hail, damaging winds and a few tornadoes are possible Saturday through Monday over a large portion of the Northern and Central Plains and in parts of the Upper Midwest.

-This same system giving the severe weather threat over the Plains will also impact the Northland with periods of rain and scattered thunderstorms beginning on Friday and lasting through at least next Tuesday.  It won't rain continuously from Tomorrow into early next week, but there should be numerous rounds of rain that track through Northeast Minnesota and Northwest Wisconsin this weekend and early next week.

A deep and slow moving upper level trough and a low pressure system moving northeast out of the Western High Plains will lead to the extended period of rainy weather over the Northland.

Weather Tidbits:

*The first 80 degree high temperature of 2013 occurred on May 15th at Duluth, Minnesota.  This was the 1st time at or above 80F since September 11th (83 degrees)  Note:  Last May produced 3 days in the 80s.  Will see how many we end up with this month.

Tuesday, May 14, 2013

Smoke plume showing up east of Solon Springs, WI This Afternoon; Wind shift to the west occurs in Duluth between 7pm-Midnight; 70s ahead for Wednesday-small PM shower chance.

/Issued 4:38 PM CDT, Tuesday, May 14th, 2013/

*Tracking a possible smoke plume!  This is the GR3 radar out of Duluth, Minnesota from late This Afternoon, May 14, 2013.  Note the blue colors east of Solon Springs, WI.  This appears to be a plume of smoke from a fire that has erupted This Afternoon in Eastern Douglas County.  Also notice how the plume goes in a SW-NE direction, that's because the winds down in that area are out of the southwest, so it's pushing the smoke toward a northeasterly direction.



















Today's Weather Summary for Northeast Minnesota and Northwest Wisconsin

A strong area of low pressure was over Southern Manitoba late This Afternoon with a warm front and cold front advancing east through Central Minnesota.  Incredible amounts of heat across the Upper Midwest Today with temperatures in the 80s and 90s across much of Minnesota with even some 100s in Southern Minnesota.  The 90 degree club has even moved into the Northland This Afternoon, at 4 PM Brainerd and Pine River checked in at 90F.  Much colder temperatures were found closer to Lake Superior with highs only in the 40s and 50s Today.  Winds were out of the south, east or west at 10 to 20 mph with higher gusts.

Note:  A major bust by the computer models Today.  For days they've been showing dew points getting into the 60s in Eastern Minnesota and Western Wisconsin.  Not anywhere close to those values Today with mainly 40s showing up over E MN and W WI late This Afternoon.  With the lower dew points comes much less instability with CAPE as of 4 PM generally under 500 j/kg.

Forecast Discussion for Northeast Minnesota and Northwest Wisconsin

Short Term Forecast - Confidence:  High.

Tonight (May 14th)

Clear to partly cloudy skies will be found in our area as low pressure moves into Ontario while a cold front sweeps through the area.  Limited moisture and instability along with the presence of a fairly stout cap should keep showers and thunderstorms from popping up over our area Tonight, still could see isolated showers or thunderstorms though This Evening, mainly in far Northern Minnesota-along the Ontario border and also in far Northern Wisconsin.  No severe weather is expected.  Lows Tonight will be in the 40s and 50s with winds shifting to the west at 10 to 25 mph.

Wednesday and Wednesday Night (May 15th)

Low pressure will be centered to our northeast with high pressure to our west.  Partly to mostly cloudy skies are forecast this period.  A weak disturbance approaching from the NW might be enough to trigger a few Afternoon/Evening showers in Northern Minnesota, otherwise this period looks dry.  Highs Tomorrow will be in the 60s and 70s with lows Tomorrow Night in the 40s to lower 50s.  Winds will be out of the west, southwest or northwest at 10 to 25 mph, less wind for Wednesday Night.

Extended Forecast - Confidence:  High.

Thursday through Saturday (May 16th-18th)

An upper level trough will be moving into the Western U.S. during this period with a west/southwest flow aloft developing across the Upper Midwest.  Low pressure over the Rockies and Western High Plains will result in a moist southerly flow of air across the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest especially by Friday/Saturday. 

At the moment Thursday is looking generally dry in the Northland.  Showers or thunderstorms are possible then for Friday and Saturday.  High temperatures will mainly be in the 60s from Thursday through Saturday with cooler temperatures near Lake Superior.  Lows Thursday Night and Friday Night will be in the 40s and 50s.

Long Range Forecast - Confidence:  Medium.

(May 19th-22nd)

Low pressure and an upper level trough is forecast to impact the Upper Midwest and Western Great Lakes from Sunday into early next week (19th-21st)  Rain is possible at times during that period.  Thunderstorms are even a possibility, especially on Sunday.  Near to below average temperatures are expected through this period.

*7-day rainfall forecast from the Weather Prediction Center.  The trend toward a wet pattern continues to show up in the models Today.  Could have widespread 1-2"+ rain totals in Minnesota and Wisconsin this weekend and early next week.

Today's Weather Summary for Northeast Minnesota and Northwest Wisconsin

A warm air advection pattern on the backside of a 1023mb high over Lake Michigan and out ahead of a 998mb low over Northeast North Dakota caused a narrow north/south band of sprinkles and light rain showers in the Northland This Afternoon.  Skies were partly sunny to mostly cloudy Today with high temperatures in the 40s and 50s with 60s in Western areas.  Winds were out of the south or east at 5 to 15 mph.

Note:  Extreme temperature contrast across the region Today.  At 3 PM Today temperatures ranged from 91 degrees at Aberdeen, SD; 90 degrees at Grand Forks, ND; 82 degrees at Hallock, MN; 53 degrees at International Falls, MN; and 43 degrees at Grand Marais, MN.  Wow!

Forecast Discussion for Northeast Minnesota and Northwest Wisconsin

Short Term Forecast - Confidence:  High.

Tonight (May 13th)

Partly to mostly cloudy skies will be found in our area Tonight with lows in the 30s and 40s, but a few Western locations might stay in the 50s.  Sprinkles or light showers may affect the Arrowhead and parts of Northwest Wisconsin This Evening, otherwise Tonight will be dry.

Tuesday and Tuesday Night (May 14th)

A strong area of low pressure averaging 987-993mb is forecast to move through Southern Manitoba and Western Ontario during this period with a secondary low cutting through Central/Eastern Minnesota.  A warm front and cold front will be moving through the Upper Midwest from Tuesday into Tuesday Evening. 

Severe weather would be more of a concern on Tuesday if it weren't for the warm temperatures aloft.  925mb temperatures are forecast to rise to between +20 to +26C with 850mb temperatures warming to +18 to +24C and 700mb temperatures of around +8C.  This warming should prove difficult for the development of thunderstorms as this system passes through on Tuesday.  However, should a few storms be able to develop they could turn strong to severe with the ingredients that are forecast to be in place over our area Tuesday PM.

0-6 KM Shear:  40-65 knots.
Effective Bulk Shear:  40-60 knots.
1 KM Helicity:  150 m2/s2 to 350 m2/s2.
CAPE:  Around 1000-2000 j/kg.
Lifted Indices:  -2 to -6C.
Dew Points:  50s.
500mb winds speeds:  50-65 knots.
850mb wind speeds:  Around 30-40 knots.

High temperatures on Tuesday will range from the 40s and 50s near Lake Superior to the 70s and 80s elsewhere.  Lows Tuesday Night will be in the 40s and 50s.  Winds will be out of the south, east, or west Tomorrow at 10 to 25mph.  Winds will swing around to the west area-wide Tomorrow Night at 10 to 25 mph.

Extended Forecast - Confidence:  High.

Wednesday through Friday (May 15th-17th)

Wednesday and Thursday look mainly dry at this time with highs in the 60s and 70s.  Low pressure moving through Ontario could cause some gusty west winds over our area on Wednesday.  Some showers could move into the Northland on Friday as an upper level trough develops over the Rockies which will setup a southwest flow across the Plains.  Highs on Friday will be in the 50s and 60s.  Lows Wednesday Night and Thursday Night are forecast to be in the 40s to lower 50s.

Long Range Forecast - Confidence:  Medium.

(May 18th-21st)

A rainy May 18-21 is possible as a slow moving upper level trough and storm system move through the Central Plains, Upper Midwest and Great Lakes.  Could even see some thunderstorms in parts of our area this Saturday/Sunday.  Near to below average temperatures are expected this period.

*7-day rainfall forecast from the Weather Prediction Center valid through next Monday, May 20, 2013.  Still looks like a wetter pattern developing for much of the Upper Midwest this upcoming weekend with potential for 1-4" rainfall totals, heaviest amounts in Iowa and Illinois.



















5 DAY FORECAST FOR DULUTH/SUPERIOR

.Tonight...  Partly to mostly cloudy.  Low 36 to 41.  Wind east at 10 to 20 mph.

.Tuesday...  A few showers or thunderstorms possible.  High 65 to 70 but in the 40s near Lake Superior.  Wind east to southeast at 10 to 20 mph.

.Tuesday Night...  A few showers or thunderstorms possible early, otherwise partly to mostly cloudy.  Low 45 to 50.  Wind shifting to the west at 10 to 20 mph.

Today's Weather Summary for Northeast Minnesota and Northwest Wisconsin

Deep low pressure of 996mb was centered along the Ontario-Quebec border late This Afternoon with a high pressure ridge of 1024mb covering the Upper Midwest and Central Plains.  The weather did improve just a bit Today with copious amounts of sunshine and somewhat less wind compared to Saturday, temperatures were still on the cool side, however, with highs generally in the upper 40s to lower 50s.  Winds were out of the north or west at 10 to 20 mph with a few higher gusts.

Forecast Discussion for Northeast Minnesota and Northwest Wisconsin

Short Term Forecast - Confidence:  High.

Tonight (May 12th)

High pressure will keep our area dry Tonight under clear to partly cloudy skies.  Lows will mainly be in the 30s, but a few spots might fall into the 20s once again.  Winds will be out of the north, west or east at 5 to 15 mph.

Monday and Monday Night (May 13th)

Partly to mostly cloudy skies will occur this period with a few showers possible Monday Afternoon/early Evening as a warm front moves into Western Minnesota resulting in a warm air advection pattern developing across the Upper Midwest.  Highs Tomorrow will be in the 50s to around 60 degrees but it will be cooler near Lake Superior.  Lows Monday Night will be in the 30s and 40s.  South or east winds are forecast this period at 10 to 20 mph.

Extended Forecast - Confidence:  High.

Tuesday through Thursday (May 14th-16th)

A strong area of low pressure averaging 988-993mb is forecast to move through Southern Manitoba and Ontario on Tuesday and Wednesday.  A warm front and cold front attached to this low will sweep through the Northland on Tuesday.

A few showers or thunderstorms may develop on Tuesday in Northeast Minnesota and Northwest Wisconsin as this system moves through.  Dew points are expected to climb into the 50s with CAPE generally around 1000 j/kg and Lifted Indices of -2 to -4C.  Note:  The computer models are showing much higher values of moisture and instability for Tuesday, but this is probably overdone.  This system will also have good upper level support with a strong mid level jet of 45-65 knots cutting through the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest.  About 40-60 knots of shear is also forecast on Tuesday per SREF model guidance.

The prospects for severe weather continue to be on the low/marginal side mostly because of the warm air that'll overspread our area on Tuesday which may effectively cap-off the atmosphere and prevent thunderstorms from developing.

However, as I mentioned on Saturday, if the cap is weaker or breaks, then the potential for a few severe thunderstorms could increase Tuesday Afternoon/Evening.  The overall setup for severe weather is actually pretty good (minus the warm 700mb, 850mb and 925mb temperatures)

High temperatures on Tuesday will range from the 40s and 50s near Lake Superior to the 60s and 70s elsewhere, might even see a few 80s especially in Western/Southern parts of the Northland.  Lows Tuesday Night will be in the 40s and 50s.

Dry weather returns to Northeast Minnesota and Northwest Wisconsin for Wednesday and Thursday with highs both days in the 60s and 70s.  Lows Wednesday Night will be in the 40s to lower 50s.

Note:  Gusty west winds could develop late Tuesday Night into Wednesday on the south side of the deep low passing through Ontario.

Long Range Forecast - Confidence:  Medium.

(May 17th-20th)

Near to below average temperatures are forecast during this period.  An upper level trough looks like it'll setup over the Western-Central U.S. with low pressure over the Plains.  If this system moves far enough north, then we would get some rain at times from the 18th-20th.  High pressure sitting over Hudson Bay Canada might be just enough to keep this system away from the Northland though.  Stay tuned.

-7 day precipitation forecast from the Weather Prediction Center.  This is valid through next Sunday, May 19, 2013.  Could see some locally heavy amounts of rain develop in Southern Minnesota and nearby states, mainly from Friday-Sunday (17th-19th)  1-2"+ totals are possible.




















5 DAY FORECAST FOR DULUTH/SUPERIOR

.Tonight...  Mostly clear.  Low 28 to 33.  Wind northwest at 10 to 20 mph, becoming east around 10 mph late.

Saturday, May 11, 2013

Record lows for Sunday AM include 22F (1996) at International Falls; 24F (1946) at Duluth-might break or get close to these records by daybreak.

/Issued 6:54 PM CDT, Saturday, May 11th, 2013/

Weather tidbits for Duluth, Minnesota:

-The average temperature for May (thru the 10th)  43.9F which is 4.4 degrees colder than average.

-It's been a dry start to May with just 0.22" of precipitation thru the 11th.  This is 0.89" below average.  Will May finish below average in terms of total precipitation?  If it does, it would be the 1st month to do so since November 2012.

Today's Weather Summary for Northeast Minnesota and Northwest Wisconsin

What a crazy day with lots of things going on and it's all cold weather related, yes it is May 11th.  Deep low pressure of 1002mb was over Eastern Ontario early This Evening with strong high pressure of 1026mb covering the Northern Plains.  The pressure difference between the low to our east and high to our west along with the presence of steep lapse rates caused strong NW winds in the Northland Today.  Wind speeds of 10 to 25 mph were common with gusts of 30-40 mph.  The strongest winds actually occurred when convective type showers moved through the area.  With so much cold air in the mid/upper levels of the atmosphere, precipitation that did fall came in the form of graupel, snow and some rain.  The showers were very brief, but quite intense when they did occur.  Temperatures Today were only in the 30s and 40s which is way below average for early May.   

Note:  The other big story Today occurred on Lake Mille Lacs in Eastcentral Minnesota.  Ice shoves took place Today, basically meaning that the ice that was over the lake moved onshore and piled up causing damage to some resort homes/cabins Today.  Incredible!

Forecast Discussion for Northeast Minnesota and Northwest Wisconsin

Short Term Forecast - Confidence:  High.

Tonight (May 11th)

High pressure to our west will continue to produce a cold advection pattern across the Northland with 850mb temperatures of -6 to -10C which is unseasonably cold for this time of year.  Critical thickness values will be around 1300 which is also quite rare for May, in other words if precipitation were to occur Tonight it would fall in the form of snow.  Luckily it'll be dry Tonight under clear-partly cloudy skies.  The exception to this could be along the South Shore of Lake Superior where lake effect snow/sleet showers could develop at times, mainly affecting Ashland and Iron County.  Lows Tonight will be in the 20s and lower 30s, but a few spots in Northern Minnesota could drop into the teens.  Record or near record cold is possible by daybreak.  Winds will be out of the northwest at 10 to 20 mph with higher gusts This Evening.

Sunday and Sunday Night (May 12th)

A dry but cool Mother's Day under sunny to partly cloudy skies.  Highs will be in the 40s and 50s with northwest winds at 10 to 20 mph.  Sunday Night will feature partly cloudy skies with lows in the 20s and 30s.  High pressure will pass over the Upper Midwest during this period resulting in the dry conditions.

Extended Forecast - Confidence:  High.

Monday through Wednesday (May 13th-15th)

Changes take place during this period as high pressure moves off to our east on Monday with a southerly return flow developing on the backside of that high and out ahead of a warm front which will move east out of the Northern Plains.  A strong warm air advection pattern developing over the Upper Midwest on Monday should lead to quite a bit of mid level cloudiness and possibly some showers.  Highs on Monday will be in the 50s and 60s with cooler temperatures near Lake Superior.  Lows Monday Night will be in the 30s and 40s.

A strong area of low pressure will pass northwest of the Northland on Tuesday with a warm front and cold front moving through the Upper Midwest.  Dew points climbing into the 50s and CAPE values of 500-1500 j/kg are forecast to develop Tuesday PM  Note:  The computer models show even higher amounts of moisture and instability for Tuesday, but this is probably overdone.  A lot of warm air will also be pushing into the Northland on Tuesday with 850mb temperatures climbing to +14 to +20C, 925mb temperatures >24C and 700mb temperatures of around +8C.  What this means is that even though frontal boundaries will be moving through and tapping into a moist/unstable airmass, the presence of such warm air aloft will likely prevent much shower/thunderstorm activity.  With that said, the setup for Tuesday is one that needs to be watched as the ingredients to support a few strong to severe thunderstorms are available.  A strong mid level jet of 45-65 knots is forecast to move into the Upper Midwest on Tuesday with changing wind direction with height, this would support a supercell potential should thunderstorms develop, again this chance looks very low at this time, but things could change.  High temperatures on Tuesday will range from the 40s and 50s near Lake Superior to the 60s and 70s elsewhere, might even be a few 80s from the Brainerd Lakes toward Pine City and Siren.  Lows Tuesday Night will be in the 40s and 50s.

Wednesday is looking mainly dry at the moment with a cold front located south/east of our area while low pressure passes through Ontario.  Highs on Wednesday will be in the 60s and 70s.

Long Range Forecast - Confidence:  Medium.

(May 16th-19th)

Next Thursday/Friday (16th-17th) look mainly dry at this time.  A few showers might return to the area next weekend (18th-19th) as an upper level trough and area of low pressure move out onto the Plains.  Near to above average temperatures are expected through this period.

5 DAY FORECAST FOR DULUTH/SUPERIOR

.Tonight...  Clear to partly cloudy.  Cold for the time of year.  Record or near record lows possible.  Low 25 to 30.  Wind northwest at 10 to 20 mph.  Note:  Record low for Sunday Morning is 24 degrees set in 1946.

.Mother's Day...  Mostly sunny.  High 48 to 53.  Wind northwest at 10 to 20 mph.

.Sunday Night...  Partly cloudy.  Low 28 to 33.  Wind light and variable around 12 mph.

.Monday...  Mostly cloudy.  High 50 to 55 but cooler near Lake Superior.

.Monday Night...  Partly to mostly cloudy.  Low 38 to 43.

.Tuesday...  Showers or thunderstorms possible.  High 55 to 60 but cooler near Lake Superior.
