Justin Liles: More of the same!

Many of us woke up to a few isolated thunderstorms this morning and even some patchy fog. Cloud hung out early this morning and some sunshine came out this afternoon as southerly winds took over. This has allowed temperatures to climb well above average farther inland away from the lake. Cooler air by the lake and a light lake breeze is keeping shoreline communities nearly 10°-25° cooler. Tonight some thunderstorms are possible in north central Minnesota up to the International border.

A low coming out of the Colorado Rockies will stay south and it looks like to keep the majority of the weekend rain south of our viewing area. This is still a small chance as winds will again be off the lake cooling the shoreline down even more. With moisture hanging around, place around the lake may wind up being like last weekend with misty and foggy conditions. Temperatures look to rebound on Sunday with more sunshine. Just in time for Mother’s Day.
