What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Duluth, MN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Apr 15, 6:25 AM CDT, 2 hours 29 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 15, 6:25 AM CDT, 2 hours 29 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Duluth MN
625 AM CDT Thu Apr 15 2021

.DISCUSSION...(Today through Wednesday)
Issued at 348 AM CDT Thu Apr 15 2021

Summary: Lingering precipitation this morning is expected to taper
off quickly with mostly cloudy skies hanging on through much of the
day. Some clearing may happen east to west as we head into the
afternoon. More sunny conditions are just around the corner as we
fly into Friday with highs climbing back into the 50s. Our next bout
of precipitation returns in the later half of Sunday.

The lingering low pressure that the Northland has been under the
influence for the past week is finally losing its grip as ridging
begins to shunt it off to the east. Drier air aloft is slowly
filtering in from the north and at the surface we are seeing some
light drizzle within northern WI this morning. Further north across
portions of MN we are also experiencing some light flurries. The
elevated portions of Iron county may experience some freezing
drizzle this morning as well. KIWD was reporting freezing
temperatures at 2am with unknown precipitation which further
supports this case. Precipitation is not expected to linger much
today with chances quickly tapering off by mid morning. For those of
you craving some vitamin D from the sun you may need to hang tight
for one more day. Although the troublesome low pressure will have
exited the region the expansive stratus deck will likely linger
through most of the day. There may be some pockets of light though
with clouds slowly clearing east to west.

Friday kicks things off quite nicely with mostly sunny skies and
highs climbing back into the 50s across the region with slightly
cooler temperatures near Lake Superior. The weekend brings more of
the same as temperatures level out into the mid 50s. An upper level
shortwave does traverse across the region Saturday but its original
source region is northern Canada and does not look to bring in
precipitation with it. At most it looks to bring some mid level
clouds passing through.

A surface low pressure propels itself southeast out of the Canadian
Prairies late Sunday bringing out next batch of precipitation.
Preliminary diagnostics reveal another shot of cold air filtering in
behind this system which will likely cause mixed precipitation.
Highs will also drop back into the upper 30s for Monday.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday morning)
Issued at 624 AM CDT Thu Apr 15 2021

Light flurries are scattered across the Northland this morning with
some isolated areas occasionally reporting freezing drizzle. Clouds
will persist through most of the time period and should primarily be
MVFR. There may be some clouds clearing in the afternoon from east
to west. However, BRD may remain in the MVFR through the forecast.

&&

.MARINE...
Issued at 348 AM CDT Thu Apr 15 2021

North to northwesterly winds will stream across the Lake today
around 5 to 10 knots with waves staying less than 2 ft in height. At
this time there are no indications of any conditions that would
prove hazardous to small marine crafts over the next 48 hours.
