Justin Liles: Scattered showers tonight, Drier the rest of the week!

By WDIO

An advancing cold front will continue to shift through the Northland this afternoon and evening. There is enough energy hanging around that the cold front may spark off a few stronger thunderstorms, where the potential for some hail is possible. This rain won’t be enough to really help us out drought wise. The rest of the week looks dry. Temperatures will continue to climb through the weekend heading into the weekend.

There is another small chance of some scattered storms Thursday night into Friday. Otherwise, this upcoming holiday weekend is looking to be rather hot and humid. Temperatures are expected to be in the mid to upper 80s. Sine areas inland could reach 90 by Sunday. These hot conditions look to stay with us through the start of the new school year.
