Temperature will be falling to the upper 60s this afternoon. High pressure has edged in and bringing cooler temperatures and drier air with it.

Winds will increase from the east and winds and waves will be heightened across Lake Superior. There is a heightened chance for rip currents by the Twin Ports, so a Beach Hazard Statement is in place until tonight.

By tomorrow showers and thunderstorms will return. An upper-level low will pass by just north of the Canadian boarder with a cold front draping into the Northland. The cold front will catch up to the southerly flow across the Northland and increase the instability elevating the chances for thunderstorm development and some risks for severe weather.

 The key threats being tracked for Thursday evening is damaging winds, heavy rain and hail, the risk for tornadoes cannot be ruled out at this moment either. Minor risk of floods is a concern as many grounds remain saturated from the storms at the beginning of the week.

The long weekend is looking pleasant with seasonable conditions and sunshine sticking around into the beginning of next week. However, a few quick storms can not be ruled out in the evening hours.
