Some showers and a rumble of thunder or two continue over mainly the east half this morning as a cold front pushes through. Behind the cold front, expect winds to pick up from the northwest to north, with gusts up to 20 to 25 mph possible across most of the U.P., with the Keweenaw seeing gusts up to 30+ mph at times. In addition, lake enhanced rain showers begin to take hold over the northwest wind belts today, keeping the U.P. cloud covered and the northwest wind belts wet. Expect the highs today to be in the morning, with temperatures staying either stationary or decreasing throughout the day behind the cold front. The lake enhanced rain showers become lake effect tonight and turn more towards the west wind belts Thursday. While drier conditions will be seen in the interior U.P. on Thursday, min RHs are still expected to be above 40% and temperatures are projected to range in the 50s. As an antecedent, min RHs today are currently expected to not drop below 80% in the northwest wind belts. More widespread rain is expected to return Thursday night into Friday.
