HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK MNC001-017-021-031-035-061-071-075-115-137-WIC003-007-013-031-051- 099-113-129-202100- 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. $$
