Lea Zmurko: A sunny afternoon before tomorrows storms
Another day with high pressure overhead will continue the pleasant conditions.
Most of the Northland will be dry with a slight chance of isolated showers across the Arrowhead this afternoon. Temperatures will be in the mid to upper 70s across the region with plenty of sunshine further inland.

Still a light breeze of the water today that will keep conditions cooler along the shore, but winds will die down overnight and encourage the development of some low-lying cloud for the following morning. The fog on Thursday morning will stick across northwest Wisconsin and up the Arrowhead.

Rain and thunderstorms are slated to arrive Thursday afternoon and last into the early hours of Friday morning. An inch of rain can be expected in some areas with localized heavy rainfall further west. Some isolated thunderstorms have the potential to produce small hail and elevated winds gusts.
After this system clears, winds will shift to the southwest and temperatures will take a jump into the mid-80s. This warming trend will continue into the start of next week.
