Justin Liles: More sunshine tomorrow
Tomorrow, many Northlanders are going to feel temperatures return to the 60s away from the lake. Winds will be light of the big lake but should keep and communities right by the lake and not up on top of the hill cooler. Showers move into the Northland Friday. Two rounds of widespread moderate rainfall will occur throughout the weekend. It`s too early for rainfall totals, but most of our area will likely get at least a half inch of rain (90%) and northwest Wisconsin is on track to get at least an inch (60%).
This will be some much-needed rain to our extremely dry region. Look for some windy conditions through the weekend too. This rain is set to continue through Monday. Warmer weather and sun return by the middle of next week.
