Lea Zmurko: It’s relief from rain, but a scorcher of a day!

June 25: Tuesday is bringing in the heat

Clear day ahead with temperatures marching upwards of 80 degrees. The clouds coverage will increase in the late afternoon with a few passing showers moving across the Borderlands in the overnight

A quiet start to the morning as the remaining rainfall and storms exited eastward in the early morning. A few areas with some fog as the relative humidity starts at a high for the morning. This will diminish as the solar heating today continues.

Monday night brought in heavy rainfall for regions across northwest Wisconsin leading to flash flooding warnings in southern parts of Bayfield, Ashland, and Douglas counties and northern parts of Sawyer and Washburn as well.

Clear day ahead with temperatures marching upwards of 80 degrees. The clouds coverage will increase in the late afternoon with a few passing showers moving across the Borderlands in the overnight. Some overnight showers can also be anticipated in the Brainerd Lakes region due to a short-wave trough moving across in the upper levels of the atmosphere. But no strong or severe weather is expected for today in the Northlands.

With mostly fair weather in the next stretch, there will also be a chance for some isolated events of rain in the upcoming afternoons. Temperatures will fall to into the upper 60s low 70 as conditions mild out for the rest of the work week as cloud coverage will increase in many regions. A greater chance for thunderstorms will return come Thursday evening and will likely resurge on Friday as a cold front move through chances for strong to severe storms will be possible with timing and convection are permitting.
