Tonight will be mostly cloudy with overnight lows close to 60. A couple of light, passing showers are possible, but we stay mostly dry until Wednesday morning.
Wednesday’s rain will begin at around 4am and stay close to the international border until the afternoon. From there, the rain will become more widespread, making its way east and clearing by morning.
Rainfall amounts will vary. Areas close to the international border could see over an inch, but the South Shore and the head of the lake will see minimal, if any accumulation. Pine, Burnett, Washburn, and Sawyer counties will have a quarter inch to half an inch of accumulation. Portions of the Iron Range will have close to an inch of rain.
Afternoon highs will also vary. The Twin Ports and areas north will be in the sixties to low seventies, while areas south of Carlton County will reach the low eighties.
Thursday and Friday will be dry before rain chances return Saturday morning. Temperatures will increase going into the weekend.
