This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of northeast
Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Low relative humidity and gusty northwest winds are forecast for
today, which may lead to near-critical fire weather conditions
this afternoon into early evening.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

Low relative humidity and gusty winds are forecast again on
Wednesday and Thursday and may create near-critical fire weather
conditions.

A clipper system will bring accumulating light snow chances to
portions of the Northland, with the highest accumulations south
of US Highway 2 on Thursday through Thursday night where chances
for greater than 2 inches of snow are 40 to 70 percent. This snow
could lead to slick roadways during the Thursday evening and
Friday morning commutes.

A messy spring storm will impact the Midwest Sunday through next
Tuesday. The potential for several inches of accumulating snow is
increasing. A wintry mix and heavy rain may also affect the area.
Travel conditions are likely to be adversely affected.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Snow spotters are requested to report their snowfall measurements
to the National Weather Service.

For the month of March we are actively recruiting for CoCoRaHS,
the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow network. If you
would like to volunteer to become a regular reporter of rain hail
and snow, please visit https://www.cocorahs.org for more
information.
