.DISCUSSION...
A LARGE AREA OF RAIN WILL LIFT NORTH INTO THE BURN AREA AROUND MID
AFTERNOON. THE DRY LOW LEVELS WILL HOLD OFF THE RAIN UNTIL AFTER
2 PM. AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE LATE IN THE
AFTERNOON. THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST OVERNIGHT AS
A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHES THE REGION FORM THE WEST.

THE LAKE BREEZE FROM LAKE SUPERIOR IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN TO THE
NORTH OF THE BURN AREA...KEEPING WINDS OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST THIS
AFTERNOON...THEN VEERING SOUTH THIS EVENING. HOWEVER...IF THE LAKE
BREEZE BECOMES STRONGER THAN ANTICIPATED...THERE IS A SMALL
CHANCE IT COULD SLIDE FURTHER SOUTH AND PASS OVER THE BURN
AREA THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WOULD RESULT IN A TEMPERATURE DROP INTO
THE 40S...WHILE THE WINDS WOULD SWITCH OUT OF THE NORTHEAST AT 10
TO 15 MPH.
