.DISCUSSION...

A line of rain showers and isolated thunderstorms are currently
over Lake Superior and are marching east to southeast. Though they
are currently north of the burn site, it is still possible that
showers will form over the area and bring light rain accumulations
to the burn site this morning. Then mostly cloudy skies will thin
to clear to milky as smoke is expected to be transported over
northwest Wisconsin from Canada.
