A system to bring showers and potentially severe storms through Thursday
Happy Thursday, Northland! Wednesday was more of the same, and the same for August is mostly sunny conditions with seasonal temperatures so nothing too much to complain about. The lack of the rain is the main issue with these conditions as we are under significant drought for almost all of the Northland, but fortunately we will get some alleviation today. A system is bringing showers to the Northland this morning, which will spread northwest to southeast. So far, we have seen a few tenths of an inch of rain for the western counties with more to come. As we get into the afternoon, the dry slot of the system will bring decreasing clouds to areas along the I-35 corridor and south of US-2, which will give opportunity for the atmosphere to recover for more storms as we head into the evening. Storms will be isolated to scattered, mainly impacting areas along and south of US-2 and west of SH-13 in Wisconsin. Some storms can be severe, with a marginal and slight risk for severe weather centered along the I-35 corridor. Large hail will be the main threat with damaging winds also a possibility. Overall, we can expect 0.25” to 0.75” of rain for much of the Northland, with locally higher amount over 1” possible. With the added moisture, fog will be possible by tomorrow morning.

A few showers & thunderstorms Wednesday night, remaining seasonally mild
Wednesday was just the latest day for the Northland to see more hazy sunshine, warm summer temperatures, light winds, and slightly humid dew points. We should see a bit of a change in this pattern Wednesday night as the more active weather pattern that has stayed to our south will bump just enough north that those along and south of Highway 2 will have a widely scattered chance for showers and thunderstorms. Lows will remain seasonally mild in the 50s and low 60s. Thursday will see any precipitation move out, with a mix of sunshine and clouds to follow. Winds will remain light and dew points will remain a bit humid, with highs staying seasonally mild in the 70s and low 80s.

Staying seasonally mild and a bit humid with a few showers and thunderstorms
The start of a new work week in the Northland saw more ideal August weather conditions in the Northland. A high-pressure system helped to keep high temperatures in the 70s and low 80s, along with comfortable dew points and light winds. The sunshine was plentiful for most of the day, despite some haze in the upper atmosphere. We are going to see some cloud cover push through from time to time over the next 48 hours as a storm system pushes to the south of the region. There will be a few showers and thunderstorms passing through the southern half of the region from time to time, with the best chances of seeing the widely scattered precipitation Tuesday evening and Tuesday night. Lows Monday night will be in the upper 50s and low 60s, with highs Tuesday back in the 70s and low 80s with light east winds.
