JUNE WILL RETURN BY EARLY NEXT WEEK, AS A RIDGE OF HIGH
PRESSURE OVER ONTARIO FINALLY SLIDES EAST, WINDS BECOME
SOUTHERLY AND BRING WARMER AIR INTO THE REGION SUNDAY AND
MONDAY. TEMPERATURES TODAY HAVE REMAINED ON THE CHILLY SIDE
BENEATH CLOUD COVER AND WITH EASTERLY FLOW OFF LAKE SUPERIOR.
AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF THE IRON RANGE HAVE BEEN CLOSER TO
NORMAL VALUES FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR, WITH SUNSHINE HELPING TO
OFFSET THE STILL EASTERLY WINDS. SUNDAY WINDS IN GENERAL BECOME
SOUTHERLY, AND EVEN THOUGH I EXPECT MORE CLOUD COVER FARTHER
NORTH, TEMPERATURES SHOULD WARM INTO THE MID 60S TO LOW 70S
EVERYWHERE. IT WILL STILL BE COOLER BY THE LAKE, BUT PERHAPS
WE WILL BE SHIVERING LESS THAN THEY HAVE THE LAST COUPLE DAYS.
OUR WARMEST DAY THIS WEEK SHOULD BE MONDAY, WITH A GOOD SURGE OF
WARMER TEMPERATURES BEING PUSHED IN FROM THE SOUTH.
SHOWERS THAT HAVE LINGERED ACROSS PRICE COUNTY THIS MORNING
HAVE FINALLY SHIFTED OFF TO THE EAST OUT OF THE FORECAST AREA.
THERE IS NOW A NEW MCV LIKE STRUCTURE DEVELOPING OVER NORTHEAST
SD/SOUTHEAST ND MOVING INTO MINNESOTA THIS AFTERNOON. THE BULK
OF THIS WILL SLIDE ACROSS CENTRAL MINNESOTA OVERNIGHT, SO HAVE
KEPT SOME CHANCE POPS GOING ALONG THE SOUTHERN BORDER OF THE CWA
OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. ANOTHER STRONGER SHORTWAVE
SHOULD MOVE ACROSS MINNESOTA ON SUNDAY, BUT WITH THE BETTER
INSTABILITY MORE OVER SOUTHERN MINNESOTA, THE STRONGER
CONVECTION SHOULD BE LIMITED TO CENTRAL OR SOUTHERN MINNESOTA.
WHILE THE BULK OF THIS SHOULD MISS OUR FORECAST AREA AGAIN, BUT
HAVE AGAIN KEPT SOME SLIGHT TO CHANCE POPS GOING OVER THE
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE CWA THROUGH SUNDAY.
MONDAY WE HAVE A SIMILAR SET-UP, BUT WITH THE WARMER AIR
PROGGED TO SURGE FARTHER NORTH, WE MAY MANAGE TO GET SOME BETTER
INSTABILITY AND SHEAR INTO THE FORECAST AREA, WHICH MAY RESULT
IN SOME STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
THIS SEVERE WEATHER RISK IS GOING TO BE CONDITIONAL UPON GETTING
SOME WARMER TEMPERATURES AND SUNSHINE INTO AT LEAST CENTRAL
MINNESOTA. EVEN IF WE DO NOT GET SEVERE STORMS, AM MUCH MORE
CONFIDENT OF GETTING RAINFALL MONDAY EVENING FOR A LARGE PORTION
OF THE FORECAST AREA, ESPECIALLY AS A TROUGH AXIS MOVES ACROSS
THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT.
TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY WILL REMAIN SEASONABLY WARM. THERE WILL
BE PERIODIC CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS WITH A BROAD NEARLY
ZONAL UPPER LEVEL FLOW WITH SHORTWAVES RUNNING ACROSS THE
REGION. TIMING IS GOING TO BE TRICKY SO WE HAVE SOME SMALLER
POPS THROUGH MUCH OF THIS TIME FRAME, BUT I EXPECT WE WILL BE
ABLE TO NARROW THESE DOWN A DAY OR TWO OUT.
AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY/
ISSUED AT 1248 PM CDT SAT JUN 14 2025
AN AREA OF PREDOMINANTLY MVFR CEILINGS TO LINGER ACROSS THE
SOUTHERNMOST THREE TERMINALS (KHYR, KBRD AND KDLH) FOR MOST OF
THIS FORECAST. IFR CEILINGS ARE POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AROUND
KHYR. MVFR VISIBILITIES MAY DEVELOP OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AT HYR AND
KDLH AS LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE INCREASES AND FOG BECOMES POSSIBLE.
DENSE FOG ISN'T LIKELY, BUT SOME LIGHT FOG COULD CERTAINLY
DEVELOP OVERNIGHT AND LINGER INTO SUNDAY MORNING. INL AND HIB
ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN VFR THROUGH THE PERIOD. SCATTERED SHOWERS
WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH MUCH OF THE PERIOD FOR HYR AND
BRD.
MARINE /FOR NEAR SHORE WATERS OF WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR/
ISSUED AT 407 PM CDT SAT JUN 14 2025
BREEZY NORTHEAST WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO DIMINISH FOR THE REST OF
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING, WITH GUSTS GRADUALLY DIMINISHING TO
15 KNOTS OR LESS. WAVES ARE STILL AROUND 3 FEET, BUT THESE TOO
ARE ON A DIMINISHING TREND AND WILL ALLOW THE SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY TO EXPIRE HERE AT 4 PM. WINDS WILL REMAIN PREDOMINANTLY
OUT OF THE NORTHEAST SUNDAY, BUT WILL BE LIGHTER WITH SPEEDS OF
10 TO 15 KNOTS. EXPECT SOME OCCASIONAL RAIN CHANCES (20-30%)
MAINLY ON SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT, WITH A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER
POSSIBLE SUNDAY EVENING.
