The primary risks associated with the incoming storms include localized strong winds and hail, particularly in areas west of Highway 13 and near the Wisconsin-Minnesota border. While the rainfall is much needed, the potential for severe weather could pose hazards to residents and travelers. Communities in the Northwoods may experience slightly higher rainfall totals if instability increases during the day. The cooler temperatures following the storms will provide relief from recent heat but may require adjustments for outdoor plans.
