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

Severe thunderstorms may affect the Boundary Waters Canoe Area
Wilderness late 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.
