AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DULUTH MN
317 AM CDT THU MAY 2 2013

.SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH FRIDAY.

AT 3 AM...SNOW CONTINUED TO LIFT NORTHWARD INTO NW WI WITH LOCALLY
HEAVY SNOWFALL. VSBYS WERE GENERALLY AROUND A HALF MILE IN AN AREA
INCLUDING HAYWARD AND ASHLAND. REGIONAL RADAR INDICATED THE SNOW
WILL CONTINUE TO LIFT NORTHWARD INTO THE AREA FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

THE SNOW WILL CONTINUE ACROSS NW WI TODAY WITH LOCAL ACCUMULATIONS
OF 6 TO 12 INCHES. THINK THE CORRIDOR OF HEAVIEST SNOW WILL REMAIN
FAIRLY NARROW...AND THE EVENING SHIFT PULLED BACK ON THE
ADVISORIES WEST OF THE AREA. THINK THE ARROWHEAD WILL POTENTIALLY
SEE SOME ACCUMULATION THOUGH...SPECIFICALLY THE COASTAL AREAS OF
COOK COUNTY.

FOR TODAY...SNOW WILL CONTINUE EAST...WITH PARTLY SUNNY SKIES
DEVELOPING IN THE WEST. MAY NEED TO EVENTUALLY PULL BACK ON THE
WESTERN EDGE OF THE SNOW A BIT MORE BUT STILL SNOWING PRETTY
STEADILY IN THOSE COUNTIES NOW.

THE SNOW WILL GENERALLY DECREASE TONIGHT...BUT WILL GRADUALLY
START TO MOVE TO THE WEST AS WELL. COULD SEE SOME MIX FOR A TIME.
MORE OF A MIX WILL DEVELOP ON FRIDAY...AS THE UPPER LOW PUSHES THE
PRECIPITATION FURTHER WEST WITH ITS NORTHWARD MOVEMENT.

.LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY.

THE PRECIPITATION WILL STILL BE CONTINUING FRIDAY NIGHT AND
SATURDAY BEFORE TAPERING OFF SATURDAY EVENING. THE MODELS ARE
STILL LITTLE DIFFERENT IN THE PLACEMENT OF THE UPPER LOW. THE GFS
AND GEM HAVE THE UPPER LOW DRIFTING TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST US WHILE
THE NAM/ECMWF HAVE THE LOW DRIFTING NEAR THE OHIO VALLEY. ALSO THE
GFS/GEM DRY THINGS OUT BY SUNDAY WHILE THE NAM/ECMWF KEEP PRECIP
ACROSS AREA ON SUNDAY. WILL KEEP CURRENT FCST WITH PRECIP ON
SUNDAY DUE TO MODEL DIFFERENCES. MODELS ALL AGREE DRIER AIR PUSHES
INTO FORECAST AREA SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY. A SHORTWAVE MAY AFFECT
THE REGION TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT BUT MOISTURE WILL BE LIMITED.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE 50S SUNDAY AND IN THE 60S MOST OF THE
WEEK. THIS SHOULD MELT THE REST OF THE SNOW IN THE WOODED AND
SHELTERED AREAS.

&&

.AVIATION...06Z TAFS.
HYR WILL VARY BETWEEN MVFR/IFR UNTIL THE HEAVY SNOW MOVES IN AROUND
08Z...THEN LIFR WITH OCCASIONAL VLIFR IS FORECAST UNTIL 18Z. AN
IMPROVEMENT TO MVFR OCCURS AFTER 18Z AS THE HEAVY SNOW MOVES E OF
THE AREA. ELSEWHERE...VFR THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...

RIVERS LEVELS CONTINUE TO RISE...ALTHOUGH AT A SLOWER RATE THAN THE
PAST FEW DAYS ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE CWA AS MOST SNOW HAS
MELTED AND IS MOVING WITHIN THE DRAINAGE SYSTEM. FLOOD WARNINGS ARE
IN EFFECT ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AT AITKIN AND FORT RIPLEY AND
ALONG THE ST. LOUIS RIVER AT SCANLON FOR MINOR FLOODING. THERE IS
ALSO A FLOOD WARNING ACROSS IRON COUNTY FOR FLOODING THERE
INCLUDING THE MONTREAL RIVER. THERE ARE ALSO AREAL FLOOD ADVISORIES
ACROSS PARTS OF THE NORTHLAND DUE TO SOME REPORTS OF
FLOODING...INCLUDING ALONG AND OVER SOME ROADWAYS. OF PARTICULAR
CONCERN OVER THE NEXT 48-60 HOURS IS CONTINUED MELT/RUNOFF AND
AREAL/RIVER FLOODING ACROSS FAR NORTHERN WISCONSIN...PARTICULARLY
ACROSS ASHLAND AND IRON COUNTIES. THE BAD RIVER CONTINUES TO
RISE...BUT ACCORDING TO LOCAL OFFICIALS...THERE WERE NO MAJOR
IMPACTS AT THIS TIME. THE RIVERS RESPONSE TO THE EXPECTED
PRECIPITATION OVER THE FOLLOWING COUPLE DAYS WILL BE MONITORED AND
WARNINGS ISSUED IF NEEDED.

PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE ACROSS NW WISCONSIN AND FAR EASTERN
MINNESOTA TODAY. MUCH OF NORTHWEST WISCONSIN WILL LIKELY GET AT
LEAST THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH OF QPF THROUGH THURSDAY...WITH
SOME AREAS A LITTLE OVER AN INCH. ALTHOUGH HEAVY WET SNOW IS
EXPECTED TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY...THIS PRECIPITATION WILL
EVENTUALLY IMPACT THE RIVER AND STREAMS. THE PRECIPITATION IS NOT
EXPECTED TO HAVE LARGE IMPACTS IMMEDIATELY TO FLOODING
CONCERNS...BUT IT WILL LIKELY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL RISES ALONG
SOME STREAMS AND RIVERS LATER THIS WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND.

ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED INTO THE WEEKEND...HIGHEST
OVER NORTHWEST WISCONSIN.
