...SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL AFFECT THE BOUNDARY WATERS CANOE
AREA WILDERNESS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING...

Severe thunderstorms may affect the Boundary Waters Canoe Area
Wilderness Wednesday afternoon and evening. The storms are
expected to produce strong winds, golf ball sized hail, frequent
cloud-to-ground lightning, and heavy rainfall. These strong
thunderstorms could happen as early as 3 PM Wednesday with the
most likely time for thunderstorms between 4 PM and 9 PM
Wednesday.

Now is the time to prepare in case thunderstorms threaten.
Campers should take extra precautions in order to secure campsites
and make a plan in case of severe weather. For strong winds, try
to keep your tent away from large or decayed trees. For large
hail, use your well-tied down canoe or tent for shelter. For
lightning, sit on your personal floatation devices or sleeping
pads to minimize your risk and avoid putting your tent on top of
exposed tree roots. Monitor NOAA Weather Radio for updates and
possible warnings.
