Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Remer, MN

DISCUSSION
Issued at 335 PM CST Sat Nov 8 2025

Low pressure was located over northern Missouri this afternoon and was bringing snow showers to Iowa and southern Minnesota.
Another area of low pressure was located well to our north over James Bay. Northerly winds on the backside of this low were leading to light snow showers across northern Minnesota and northern Wisconsin. Heading into tonight, a strong streamer of vorticity will rotate around this northern low and bring in a shot of cooler air and more north-northwesterly winds over the Northland. This will lead to light snow showers and flurries tonight into Sunday across much of the Northland with little to no accumulations expected. The exception will be across the northwest Wisconsin snowbelt, were moderate to heavy lake-effect snowfall will develop tonight and linger into early Monday. With Lake Superior still in the 40s and 850mb temps falling into the teens below zero C, this will lead to lake induced instability of around 400-700 J/kg. Along with the north-northwesterly winds and favorable terrain across eastern Ashland and northern Iron counties, the first lake-effect snow event of the season is upon us.

Heading into the day on Sunday, another lobe of vorticity and an upper low will move across western Lake Superior and bring better synoptic support for snowfall across northwest Wisconsin.
Snowfall rates of 0.5-1" per hour will be possible through the day Sunday which could lead to reduced visibilities and poor driving conditions. Snowfall totals of 4 to 8 inches will be possible along the Penokee and Gogebic ranges by the time snow tapers off on Monday. Heavier amounts over 8 inches remain possible with around a 20-30% chance of this occurring, mainly across central Iron County. These higher amounts will be dependent on snowfall rates on Sunday and how quickly dry air intrusion Sunday night starts to eat away at the snowfall.
Another factor, at least early on, will be ground temperatures above freezing. This could eat away at accumulations as well before snowfall rates overcome this. As Monday progresses, warmer air aloft and dry air near the surface will act to turn the lake-effect machine off. Otherwise, dry and cold conditions are expected over most of the Northland for Sunday and Monday with highs in the 30s and lows in the teens.

Northwest flow then sets up across the Upper Midwest for most of the coming week. A few weak waves will propagate through the flow and bring chances for light precipitation in the Monday night into Tuesday timeframe in the form of light flurries or snow showers and then again midweek with mixed precipitation.
Near normal temperatures will return for Tuesday and Wednesday with highs in the 30s and 40s with even warmer air arriving late week pushing highs into the 40s.

AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/
Issued at 1138 PM CST Sat Nov 8 2025

Areas of snow flurries are occurring this evening across the region with cigs largely being VFR with pockets of MVFR conditions. A brief period of dry air moving through early this morning will likely result in a lull in flurry activity and MVFR conditions. However, increased moisture moving south from Canada later this morning will likely bring light snow showers back to the area, with the potential for MVFR and even IFR visibility at times. Low-level dry air increasing in depth on Sunday afternoon will likely limit snow potential with cigs improving to VFR. Northwest winds will likely be gusty for a decent portion of the period.

MARINE /FOR NEAR SHORE WATERS OF WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR/
Issued at 335 PM CST Sat Nov 8 2025

Northerly winds will increase late this afternoon and tonight to 5 to 15 knots with gusts to 20 to 25 knots. Winds then further increase during the day on Sunday to 10 to 20 knots with gusts to 20 to 30 knots at times. Theses winds will lead to waves of 2 to 5 feet along the South Shore and northern facing areas of the Apostle Islands. Small Craft Advisories and in effect for tonight through Sunday night with winds diminishing Sunday night and turning more northwesterly. Lake-effect snow showers along the South Shore may lead to reduced visibilities as well.
Tuesday will see winds become southwesterly at 5 to 15 knots with gusts to 20 to 25 knots and lead to conditions hazardous to small craft into at least Wednesday. Winds Wednesday will be more westerly and stronger, with a 10-30% chance for gales during this time.
