325 PM EDT SUN JUL 26 2026
..STORMY TONIGHT INTO MONDAY
DISCUSSION
POTENTIAL FOR A FEW ROUNDS OF STORMS (POSSIBLY STRONG/SEVERE) THE
NEXT 24-36HRS, ESP TONIGHT THRU MONDAY. WINDS GENERALLY LIGHT/VARIABLE
TO SUBTLY SOUTHWEST/WEST, OUTSIDE OF ANY STORMS THRU MONDAY (STORMS
COULD PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS)...BECOMING N TO PERHAPS NE TUESDAY AND
PICK UP TOWARD SUSTAINED 5-15MPH, WITH POTENTIAL 20-25MPH GUSTINESS.
MINRHS SHOULD BE MORE MOIST MONDAY, ESP IF STORMS/CLOUDS HANG ON
EARLY IN THE DAY, BUT IF WE STAY CLEARER LONGER, HIGHS IN UPPER 80S
TO PERHAPS LOW 90S TOWARD LAKE HURON COULD KEEP RHS SIMILAR TO
TODAY. MIXING HEIGHTS MONDAY ALSO SIMILAR TO TODAY...GENERALLY 3-
6KFT. OVERALL TRENDS FOR WARMER/DRIER MIDWEEK AND BEYOND, BUT COULD
BE MARRED IF STORMS DEVELOP TO OUR NORTHWEST AND DROP IN, WITH SOME
SIMILARITIES TO THE SETUP A COUPLE WEEKS AGO WHEN THE FIRES BEGAN IN
THE BOUNDARY WATERS REGION OF MN UP INTO ONTARIO.
