Justin Liles: Cooler by the lake today

The weather will likely be tamer as we head through the weekend. The temperatures are going to be calmer this weekend. The only exception will be gusty winds off Lake Superior. There will more than likely be beach hazards along the shoreline of Lake Superior. The Dragon Boat Festival is this weekend in Superior so water might be a bit choppy. The good news is we’ll see plenty of sunshine through the weekend.

Temperatures will likely climb into mid to upper 60s with some low 70s farther inland. Sunday will be the nicer day of the weekend as temperatures all over climb into the 70s. The next chance of seeing some rain showers will come on Monday. The rest of the week looks quiet until next Friday.
