Hazardous Marine and Beach Conditions

Hot Conditions Today through Mid-Week

Severe Storm Potential Tuesday and Wednesday

Hazardous marine and beach conditions continue through the evening. Expect breezy northeast winds and 2-4 ft waves. As winds settle down this evening, fog may redevelop over the water and just onshore. Fog could become dense at times.

Hot and humid conditions are forecast for the region this week. Afternoon temperatures are likely to reach the upper 80s to around 90 away from Lake Superior Tuesday, and Wednesday, with slightly cooler conditions expected on Monday. High dew points in the 60s and low 70s will yield sticky conditions by mid-week, pushing Wednesday's heat indices between 90°F and 105°F for some areas.

Several periods of showers and storms are expected this week. A few of these storms may be strong in north-central Minnesota Monday afternoon and evening. Chances for strong to severe storms increase Tuesday night in portions of north-central and northeast Minnesota. Most of the Northland is looking at the potential for scattered to numerous severe storms Wednesday afternoon and evening. All severe storm hazards are possible with the Tuesday night and Wednesday storms.
