Justin Liles: Foggy around the lake, significant heat south

Rain chances have generally ended across the region, although areas of fog and drizzle are expected to persist overnight along the North Shore of Lake Superior into the Twin Ports area with onshore winds. Dry conditions are then expected for Wednesday with very warm to hot temperatures in areas along and south of a Walker to Hinckley to Park Falls line where temperatures in the 80s and lower 90s are expected.

The heat index in these areas will be in the upper 90s and lower 100s. Rain chances will return for Wednesday night into Thursday morning as a cold front works across the region. Temperatures will be cooler behind the front Friday with additional chances for showers and storms.
