This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for north-central and northeast
Wisconsin.

.DAY ONE...Tonight

Light to moderate snow will produce poor visibilities and
hazardous travel conditions. The heaviest snow will occur along
and south of Highway 29 this evening. A Winter Weather Advisory is
in effect.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Friday

Snow will continue through Saturday afternoon, primarily from
central to northeast Wisconsin, resulting in hazardous travel
conditions at times. Probabilities of snowfall greater than 4
inches range from 60 to 80 percent.

Additional lake-effect snow showers will impact eastern Wisconsin
Saturday night into Sunday morning, which would result in
hazardous travel conditions for motorists. On Sunday, gusty
northwest winds will result in some blowing and drifting of the
recent snowfall, especially across eastern Wisconsin.

For those heading out onto the Bay of Green Bay and Lake Winnebago
on Sunday, the gusty winds could create considerable blowing and
drifting snow and low visibilities at times. Ice shanties should
be secured before the gusty winds arrive.

Arctic air will return to the region starting Sunday afternoon,
and should linger for most of next week. Dangerously cold wind
chills of 20 to 35 degrees below zero are expected Monday,
Tuesday, and Wednesday mornings. Coldest wind chills will be over
central and north-central Wisconsin.

...SPRING 2025 FLOOD OUTLOOK #1 FOR NORTHERN MICHIGAN...

THE SPRING 2025 FLOOD OUTLOOK FOR NORTHERN MICHIGAN INDICATES A
NEAR TO ABOVE AVERAGE PROBABILITY OF FLOODING DUE TO SNOW MELT
WITHIN MAJOR EASTERN UPPER AND NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN RIVER
BASINS.

THIS OUTLOOK COVERS CHIPPEWA AND MACKINAC COUNTIES IN EASTERN
UPPER MICHIGAN WHICH INCLUDES THE PINE RIVER BASIN...AND THE
NORTHERN HALF OF LOWER MICHIGAN ENCOMPASSING THE AU SABLE...
BOARDMAN...MANISTEE...RIFLE...AND TOBACCO RIVER BASINS.

THE FIRST TABLE BELOW LISTS THE PROBABILITIES OF REACHING
FLOOD STAGE (MINOR FLOODING)...AS WELL AS MODERATE AND MAJOR
FLOOD LEVELS FOR THE SIX FORECAST POINTS WITHIN THE GAYLORD
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE HYDROLOGIC SERVICE AREA.  THE
CURRENT (CS) AND HISTORICAL PROBABILITIES OF EXCEEDING MINOR...
MODERATE...AND MAJOR FLOOD STAGES ARE LISTED FOR THE VALID TIME
PERIOD.

CS VALUES INDICATE THE PROBABILITY OF REACHING A FLOOD CATEGORY
BASED ON CURRENT CONDITIONS.

HS VALUES INDICATE THE PROBABILITY OF REACHING A FLOOD CATEGORY
BASED ON HISTORICAL OR NORMAL CONDITIONS.

WHEN THE VALUE OF CS IS GREATER THAN HS: THE PROBABILITY OF EXCEEDING
THAT LEVEL IS HIGHER THAN NORMAL.

WHEN THE VALUE OF CS IS LESS THAN HS: THE PROBABILITY OF EXCEEDING
THAT LEVEL IS LOWER THAN NORMAL.

DEPARTURE FROM NORMAL OF REACHING FLOOD STAGE IS THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE CURRENT PROJECTED CHANCE FOR REACHING FLOOD STAGE (CS)
AND THE CLIMATIC NORMAL (HS).  FOR EXAMPLE...THE MANISTEE RIVER NEAR
SHERMAN...WITH A FLOOD STAGE OF 15 FEET...HAS A 54 PERCENT CHANCE OF
REACHING OR EXCEEDING FLOOD STAGE...WHICH IS 42 PERCENTAGE POINTS
ABOVE NORMAL.  DURING THE 90 DAY PERIOD LISTED...THE TYPICAL
PROBABILITY OF THE MANISTEE RIVER NEAR SHERMAN REACHING FLOOD STAGE IS
12 PERCENT.

SPRING FLOOD OUTLOOKS ARE ROUTINELY ISSUED IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH IN
ORDER TO GIVE ADVANCE NOTICE OF POSSIBLE FLOODING. THE LONG RANGE
PROBABILISTIC OUTLOOKS GIVEN IN THE ABOVE TABLES CONTAIN FORECAST
VALUES THAT ARE CALCULATED USING MULTIPLE SEASON SCENARIOS FROM 30
OR MORE YEARS OF CLIMATOLOGICAL DATA...AND INCORPORATE CURRENT
RIVER LEVELS...SOIL MOISTURE CONDITIONS...SNOW DEPTH AND SNOW WATER
EQUIVALENT VALUES...AND BOTH 30 AND 90 DAY OUTLOOKS FOR TEMPERATURE
AND PRECIPITATION PROVIDED BY THE NOAA/NWS CLIMATE PREDICTION
CENTER.  ACTUAL RIVER CRESTS WILL DIFFER FROM THIS OUTLOOK IF
FUTURE CONDITIONS DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY FROM FORECAST CONDITIONS...
OR IF ICE JAMS DEVELOP.

...CURRENT CONDITIONS...

ABOVE NORMAL SNOWFALL AND SNOWPACK IS CONTRIBUTING TO THE ABOVE
NORMAL FLOOD PROBABILITIES AT SEVERAL GAGING LOCATIONS ACROSS
NORTHERN MICHIGAN.

PRECIPITATION THROUGH THE SUMMER MONTHS (JUNE-AUGUST) WAS
GENERALLY FROM 75 TO 125 PERCENT OF NORMAL. ACROSS EASTERN UPPER
MICHIGAN JUNE WAS THE WETTEST MONTH OF THE SUMMER WITH
PRECIPITATION 150 TO 200+ PERCENT OF NORMAL...THINGS STARTED TO
DRY OUT IN JULY WITH BELOW NORMAL RAINFALL THOUGH MOST AREAS
RECEIVED AT LEAST 50 PERCENT OF NORMAL PRECIPITATION. A SIMILAR
TREND WAS NOTED IN AUGUST. PRECIPITATION DURING THE FALL
(SEPTEMBER-NOVEMBER) STARTED BELOW NORMAL FOR SEPTEMBER (LESS THAN
50 PERCENT OF NORMAL WITH SOME AREAS LESS THAN 25 PERCENT OF
NORMAL) AND OCTOBER (25 TO 75 PERCENT OF NORMAL). BUT NOVEMBER
PRECIPITATION WAS ABOVE NORMAL IN MOST LOCATIONS...MORE THAN 200
PERCENT OF NORMAL ACROSS NORTHERN CHIPPEWA COUNTY AND IN THE
HIGHER TERRAIN OF EASTERN ANTRIM/WESTERN OTSEGO/NORTHWEST KALKASKA
COUNTIES MAINLY DUE TO A SIGNIFICANT LAKE EFFECT SNOW EVENT DURING
THANKSGIVING WEEKEND.

DECEMBER PRECIPITATION WAS ABOVE NORMAL IN MOST AREAS...WITH THE
HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION (150 TO 200+ PERCENT OF NORMAL)
CONCENTRATED OVER THE TYPICAL NORTHWEST FLOW LAKE EFFECT SNOW
AREAS. TRAVERSE CITY RECORDED ITS SECOND SNOWIEST DECEMBER ON
RECORD (48.2 INCHES)...GAYLORD ITS FOURTH SNOWIEST DECEMBER (57.9
INCHES)...AND HOUGHTON LAKE ITS 9TH SNOWIEST (23.4 INCHES).
JANUARY 2025 PRECIPITATION WAS DEPENDENT ON LOCATION RELATIVE TO
THE LAKE SUPERIOR AND LAKE MICHIGAN SNOWBELT AREAS. PRECIPITATION
DEPARTURES OF 150 TO 200 PERCENT OF NORMAL OCCURRED MAINLY BETWEEN
GRAND TRAVERSE BAY AND THE I-75 CORRIDOR IN NORTHWEST LOWER
MICHIGAN (BOUNDED ROUGHLY BY M-68 AND M-72 TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH
RESPECTIVELY)...THE TYPICAL LAKE MICHIGAN SNOW BELT REGIONS.
PRECIPITATION DEPARTURES OF 100 TO 125 PERCENT OF NORMAL OCCURRED
OVER NORTHERN CHIPPEWA COUNTY ADJACENT TO WHITEFISH BAY. SAULT
STE. MARIE RECORDED THEIR SECOND SNOWIEST JANUARY ON RECORD (58.4
INCHES).

AS OF FEBRUARY 14TH...TOTAL SEASONAL SNOWFALL AT SAULT STE.
MARIE...GAYLORD...AND TRAVERSE CITY HAVE ALREADY EXCEEDED THEIR
NORMAL SEASONAL SNOWFALL TOTAL. HOWEVER ALL MAJOR CLIMATE SITES
HAVE SNOWFALL TOTALS THUS FAR RUNNING 100 TO 150 PERCENT OF NORMAL
FOR THE SEASON...EXCEPT FOR ALPENA AT 88 PERCENT OF NORMAL. LIQUID
EQUIVALENT PRECIPITATION SO FAR THIS MONTH IS RUNNING ABOVE
NORMAL FOR MOST AREAS...WITH 200 TO 300 PERCENT OF NORMAL ACROSS
INTERIOR NORTHERN LOWER FROM M-55 NORTH TO M-32.

SOIL MOISTURE IS NEAR NORMAL ACROSS EASTERN UPPER AND FAR NORTHERN
LOWER MICHIGAN (NORTH OF M-32) AND IN THE 20TH TO 30TH PERCENTILE
ELSEWHERE. STREAMFLOWS ON NORTHERN MICHIGAN RIVERS ARE BELOW
NORMAL ON THE AU SABLE AND MANISTEE RIVERS...AND NEAR NORMAL
ELSEWHERE WITHE FLUCTUATIONS IN RIVER LEVELS DUE TO ICE ACTIVITY.

LINGERING D2 (SEVERE) DROUGHT CONDITIONS CONTINUE ACROSS PARTS OF
OSCODA...ALCONA...ROSCOMMON...OGEMAW...IOSCO...GLADWIN...AND
ARENAC COUNTIES.

D1 (MODERATE) DROUGHT CONDITIONS ALSO CONTINUE ACROSS PARTS OF
PRESQUE ISLE...LEELANAU...MONTMORENCY...ALPENA...BENZIE...GRAND
TRAVERSE...KALKASKA...CRAWFORD...MANISTEE...WEXFORD...AND
MISSAUKEE COUNTIES.

...WEATHER OUTLOOK...
THE CURRENT CLIMATOLOGICAL OUTLOOK FOR THE REMAINDER OF FEBRUARY
IS LEANING TOWARD BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES AND BELOW NORMAL
PRECIPITATION.

THE OUTLOOK FOR THE SPRING (MARCH THROUGH MAY) INDICATES NO
DISCERNIBLE TREND WITH REGARD TO TEMPERATURES (EQUAL
PROBABILITIES FOR ABOVE... NORMAL...AND BELOW NORMAL
PRECIPITATION)....AND A 40 TO 50 PERCENT CHANCE OF ABOVE NORMAL
PRECIPITATION

...ADDITIONAL INFORMATION...
THE NEXT SPRING FLOOD OUTLOOK WILL BE ISSUED ON THURSDAY FEBRUARY
27, 2025. LONG RANGE PROBABILISTIC OUTLOOKS SUCH AS THOSE GIVEN
IN THE ABOVE TABLES ARE ISSUED DURING THE LAST WEEK OF EACH MONTH
THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
