Brandon Weatherz: Trending cooler with storms south

Our Monday features a passing cold front that will trigger strong storms for southern parts of the Northland and open the gates to cooler air. We look north toward the Iron Range for a few showers this morning. Additional storms fire off in northwest Wisconsin this afternoon and evening with severe storms possible along and south of a line from Siren to Hayward to Mellen. The greater chance for large hail and damaging winds will extend southward across Wisconsin.

Highs today range from upper 6os north to low 80s south. We’ll see mid-70s in the Twin Ports, and a breezy northwest wind spreads the warmth down the hill as it did yesterday. Tonight will be cool and clear with widespread lows in the 40s. Localized upper 30s are once again possible in typical cool pockets of northern Minnesota. Hibbing may very well set a new daily record low with the temp to beat being 41 set in 1965.

Tuesday is comfortable with highs in upper 60s to mid-70s under mostly sunny skies. An east wind returns Wednesday. Temps trend warmer to end the week, then slightly cooler again for the weekend. Several low chances of rain arrive Wednesday through Sunday.
