Widespread Rainfall Today and Tonight

Hazardous Conditions on Lake Superior

Prepare for a wet start to the week across the Northland. Widespread showers and embedded thunderstorms will move over the region today and tonight. We are expecting an 80 to 100% chance of half an inch or more of rain across the entire area. Furthermore, most locations have a 50% chance or greater of receiving at least one inch of rain, with the highest probabilities focused south of the Iron Range and over northwest Wisconsin. Please plan accordingly for wet afternoon commutes and outdoor activities.

Hazardous marine conditions are expected on Lake Superior today and Tuesday. Strong and gusty winds, along with hazardous waves, will impact the region. South winds this morning will become southeasterly this afternoon, then veer southwest overnight and westerly on Tuesday. Wind gusts will build through Tuesday morning, reaching 30 to 45 knots. Wave heights will increase to 2 to 8 feet, with some offshore locations like the Western Lake Superior Buoy forecasting waves up to 10 feet. Conditions will gradually decrease by Tuesday afternoon and evening. Please exercise extreme caution if you plan to be on the water!
