After a pleasant Sunday, we are in for a cool, rainy week ahead. Tonight will have overnight lows near 50 degrees and scattered showers moving from west to east.

Rain will continue into Monday, clearing out by the evening. This first round of rain will have around a quarter of an inch throughout the Northland.

We will have a brief break Monday night into Tuesday morning before another system moves in from the west on Tuesday afternoon. This system will be much more impactful with rain lasting through Wednesday. Widespread accumulations of over an inch are likely, and higher amounts are possible in some areas.

In addition to potential for localized flooding, Tuesday’s storms will bring a chance for severe weather. Areas from North Branch to Hayward and southeast could see scattered severe thunderstorms. From there to the Twin Ports, we have a risk of isolated severe thunderstorms. These severe thunderstorms could have wind gusts up to 60 mph, hail up to an inch in diameter, and potentially even a tornado. Extra caution is advised Tuesday afternoon to evening with the aforementioned risks.

Temperatures this week will be cooler, with highs in the 50s and 60s all week.
