Weather Summary for June 29, 2014
Location: Northeast Minnesota & Northwest Wisconsin
A very strong area of low pressure averaging 982mb was over Central Manitoba late This Afternoon with a cold front attached to this low moving east through Minnesota Today. A warm, moist, and unstable airmass combined with the approaching frontal boundary along with a couple of disturbances lifting NE through the area led to a rather active Sunday with numerous scattered showers and thunderstorms affecting the Northland Today. The majority of these storms contained dangerous lightning, brief torrential downpours, hail generally less than 0.50″ in diameter and wind gusts of around 30 mph or so, but there were a few storms that turned severe from around 11 AM-1 PM Today. High temperatures were in the mid 70s to low 80s with dew points generally in the 50s. Winds were out of the southwest at 10 to 20 mph with higher gusts.
Forecast Discussion for NE Minnesota & NW Wisconsin
Short Term Forecast – Confidence: High.
Tonight (June 29)
A strong area of low pressure will remain well to our northwest with gusty southwest winds occurring on the SE side of this powerful summer storm. Partly to mostly cloudy skies are expected in our area Tonight with a few showers and thunderstorms mainly over Northern Minnesota, Arrowhead, as well as in parts of Northwest Wisconsin – although the threat in NW Wisconsin should be confined to the Evening hours. Low temperatures will be in the 50s and 60s with southwest winds at 10-20 mph with gusts over 30 mph.
Monday and Monday Night (June 30)
June will end on a windy note as deep low pressure moves across Ontario. A surface trough/cold front will eventually sag southeast into the region by Tomorrow Night. Moisture and cold air aloft wrapping around the low pressure center could help to produce a few showers and isolated thunderstorms in our area from Monday Afternoon into Monday Night. Highs Tomorrow will be in the 70s and 80s with lows Tomorrow Night in the 50s and 60s. West or southwest winds are forecast at 10-20 mph with gusts to 30 mph.
Extended Forecast – Confidence: High.
Tuesday through Thursday (July 1-3)
Showers are possible on Tuesday as low pressure continues on its slow journey through Central Canada. Dry weather should return then for Wednesday and Thursday as high pressure settles into the Upper Midwest. Cooler temperatures can be expected this period with highs on Tuesday in the 50s and 60s. Wednesday and Thursday’s high temperatures should be in the 60s and 70s. Lows Tuesday Night and Wednesday Night will be in the 40s and 50s, but some spots might fall into the 30s come Wednesday Night.
Long Range Forecast – Confidence: Medium to High.
(July 4-9)
It appears that will see a transition in the upper level pattern as NW flow during midweek turns more westerly and possibly southwesterly from the 4th through 8th. Confidence on this occurring isn’t the highest at the moment as computer models have been showing different scenarios playing out during the past few days. Near to possibly above average temperatures are possible over our area during this period, and we could also see some showers or thunderstorms at times but again confidence isn’t very high on how things will setup later this week/weekend. Stay tuned.
