A VERY ACTIVE END TO THE WEEK-
The next several days will be an active and some what difficult forecast. We are expecting showers and thunderstorms over the next several days, but timing and placement will be difficult to pin down with large model disagreement. However, for today we will get a 30% chance of seeing some showers and storms in Duluth this afternoon/evening. The best chance of seeing these showers and storms will be along the International border, the Range, and the Arrowhead today. Highs will be around 73 in Duluth with a SSW wind 5-15mph. Tonight the chance of rain continues into the evening hours and spreads to NW Wisconsin and the Bayfield Peninsula. Lows will be around 56 in Duluth.
Thursday has a better chance of seeing showers and thunderstorms, around 60%. A low pressure system will be moving from the Rockies and into the western half of the Midwest. Ahead of it is a huge warm, unstable, pocket of air. This will supply the energy and moisture for storms. Highs will be around 74 with a SE wind 5-10mph.
Friday I will leave at a 50% chance of showers and storms in the area. Pinpointing the timing and location of the storms this day is still difficult. Highs will be around 75 with a ESE wind 5-10mph.
Saturday looks a little wet and stormy as well. Runners and spectators should expect a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms, both during and after the race into the evening hours. Highs will be around 76 in Duluth, but in the 50's near the lake and up the North Shore with an easterly wind 5-15mph.
Have a great day!
