544 FGUS73 KDLH 182325 ESFDLH MNC031-075-137-191000- Hydrologic Outlook National Weather Service Duluth MN 525 PM CST Mon Nov 18 2024 ...HEAVY RAIN MAY LEAD TO HIGH FLOWS IN NORTH SHORE RIVERS AND CREEKS TUESDAY AND INTO THE MIDDLE OF THIS WEEK... An incoming weather system is forecast to bring 2 to 4 inches of rain to the North Shore beginning late tonight and lasting into Tuesday early afternoon. While drought conditions and dry soils will allow some of the first part of this moderate to heavy rainfall to soak into the ground, eventually runoff will begin to occur Tuesday. This runoff will feed creeks and rivers along the North Shore that flow into Lake Superior. Widespread flooding is not expected at this time. As flows increase on area rivers that are popular for waterfall viewing, visitors should be careful due to slippery rocks, cliffs, and strong currents. If recreating Tuesday or potentially Wednesday, have a plan in case low-lying campsites have standing water and to move away from the banks of rivers and creeks. If another update to this outlook is needed, it will be issued by 4:00 AM Tuesday, November 19, 2024. $$
