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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

There is a 10-20% chance of scattered snow squalls this afternoon
into early this evening. Snow squalls create rapid changes in
visibility to 1/4 mile or less and quick snow accumulation on
roads. Areas generally along and north of US-2 in Minnesota
including the Arrowhead and all of northwest Wisconsin will see a
potential for snow squalls.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

Saturday will see gusty winds, warm temperatures, and low relative
humidity values. Locations without snow cover may experience
near-critical fire weather conditions, particularly in central
and north-central Minnesota.

Next week a large storm system may bring accumulating snow and
mixed precipitation to the Northland Tuesday and Wednesday. There
is also a 5-10% chance of thunderstorms during that time.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

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