Sabrina Ullman: Monday morning rain
After a nice, sunny day, rain will enter the Northland late tonight into early Monday morning. Severe thunderstorms could form early Monday morning. Damaging winds and large hail are anticipated risks with these storms, but we could also see localized flooding.
Rain will move from west to east, reaching western St. Louis County by 6 am and the Twin Ports by 7 am. Thunderstorm development will likely be in the early morning in Itasca and Koochiching Counties. Rain will become widespread by 9 am, and the first round of Monday’s rain will start to exit by noon. The second round will be isolated showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon.

Monday afternoon will be muggy with afternoon highs ranging from the low 70s near the international border to the low 80s south of Two Harbors. Tuesday will be cooler with afternoon highs ranging from 68 degrees in International Falls to 78 degrees in Siren.
Wednesday will feel like quite the relief for many as afternoon highs with afternoon highs in the upper 60s to low 70s throughout the Northland. This break from heat will be short- by the end of the week, we will be back to highs in the low 80s. The only chance of rain this week is Monday. Sunny skies are likely starting Tuesday.
