HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DULUTH MN
355 AM CDT THU JUN 20 2013

...A STORMY WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE NORTHLAND INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK...RESULTING IN AREAS OF HEAVY RAINFALL AND
POSSIBLE FLOODING...

CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING THAT PERIODS OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT THE NORTHLAND OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
WARM AND HUMID AIR WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO THE REGION TODAY
AND INTO THE WEEKEND. THIS WILL INCREASE THE CHANCES FOR SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS. IN ADDITION TO THE THREAT OF SEVERE
WEATHER...HEAVY RAIN AND LOCALIZED FLOODING MAY RESULT.

EACH SUBSEQUENT ROUND OF STORMS COULD RESULT IN LOWERING THE
ABILITY OF THE SOIL TO EFFICIENTLY ABSORB ADDITIONAL
RAINFALL. THIS COULD INCREASE THE SUSCEPTIBILITY TO FLASH FLOODING FOR
PARTS OF THE NORTHLAND. WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF AT LEAST 2
TO 4 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH THIS WEEKEND PERIOD...AND SOME
AREAS COULD GET OVER 4 INCHES OF RAIN.

LOW LYING AREAS...HILLY TERRAIN...CREEKS AND SMALL STREAMS...AND
URBAN AREAS WILL BE THE MOST LIKELY AREAS TO GET AFFECTED BY ANY
FLASH FLOODING. IF ENOUGH RAIN FALLS OVER PARTS OF THE NORTHLAND...THEN
THERE COULD BE FLOODING ON SOME MAIN STEM RIVERS.
