Justin Liles: A nice Tuesday coming

A rather quiet start to the work week with northerly winds streaming across the region. Cloud cover is slowly clearing out as the low-pressure system that brought last weekend’s rain moves across MI. We are still seeing some smoke aloft and near the surface from the wildfires up in Canada.

Winds will turn to back out of the south and southwest tomorrow and scattered showers and some thunderstorms will be possible in the afternoon, primarily over northern MN.
