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

.DAY ONE...This afternoon and Tonight

There is a slight risk, level 2 out of 5, for severe storms this
afternoon and evening across the Northland. The primary threat is
damaging winds of up to 60 to 70 mph and hail of quarter to ping
pong size. Secondary threat is an isolated tornado. Areas of
heavy rain of 2 inches or more from thunderstorms could also lead
to local ponding of water and minor flash flooding, especially
along the North Shore and into parts of northwest Wisconsin.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday

Near-critical fire weather conditions are expected to develop
Friday and possibly this weekend.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Skywarn spotters are encouraged to report hail of any size and
rainfall amounts to the National Weather Service.

For the month of April 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.

The National Weather Service in Duluth, MN is proposing to
discontinue the Hazardous Weather Outlook product on or around
May 11 2026 because it is a redundant product. Please note that
no other products including forecasts, warnings, and NOAA Weather
Radio will be changing, only the Hazardous Weather Outlook
product is proposed to be discontinued. Feedback on the proposal
to discontinue the Hazardous Weather Outlook is open through May
11. Please email nws.duluth@noaa.gov with your feedback. Again to
repeat, NOAA Weather Radio is not going away and we will continue
to issue forecasts and warnings.
