Precipitation Chance Timing Details

Multiple rounds of thunderstorms are expected to lead to areas of heavy rain across the Northland. A widespread 1-3" is expected, with locally higher amounts. Flash flooding is possible, and a Flood Watch is in effect from 7PM Tue-7AM Thu.

Several rounds of thunderstorms are possible through the day Tuesday. Severe storms on Tuesday will be highly conditional on earlier storms and small-scale processes, which is difficult to predict more than 12 hours in advance. Therefore, confidence in location and timing remains low and will likely increase in future updates. Provided that storms develop, primary hazards include damaging winds to 70 mph, large hail 1.5” in diameter, and localized flash flooding.

Similar to Tuesday, there will another conditional chance for strong to severe thunderstorms across portions of the Northland. Primary hazards include damaging winds to 70 mph, large hail 1.5" in diameter, and localized flash flooding.
