Hazardous Weather Outlook

315 AM EDT Tue Apr 14 2026 /215 AM CDT Tue Apr 14 2026/

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of central Upper
Michigan and western Upper Michigan.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Snowmelt and impacts from recent rainfall will continue to lead to
flooding concerns today through tonight. See the latest Area and
Hydro Discussions for additional details.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday

A prolonged period of well above freezing temperatures and higher
dewpoints will bring increased snowmelt. This, combined with
periods of potential heavy rain and thunderstorms, will accelerate
river rises and lead to ponding of water in areas with poor
drainage. A Flood Watch remains in place for all of Upper Michigan
through Wednesday morning.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotters are encouraged to report any observed flooding, hail, or
wind damage from rain showers and thunderstorms to the National
Weather Service in Marquette. The public may also submit reports
to the National Weather Service via phone, on our website, or
through social media.
