Thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon and early evening over portions of the Northland. A severe storm or two may develop late afternoon into the early evening hours over parts of northwest Wisconsin. The main threat is hail to the size of quarters and damaging wind to 60 mph.

A low pressure system will bring strong winds over western Lake Superior which will lead to high waves this weekend, with maximum winds to 40 kts and waves up to 10 ft expected on Sunday.

Dry and breezy days with little to no rain for the next week will lead to elevated fire weather conditions, with the highest potential over the weekend. Make sure to check for any burning restrictions in your area.
