...TWO CHANCES FOR SEVERE STORMS TO AFFECT THE BOUNDARY WATERS
CANOE AREA WILDERNESS SUNDAY MORNING AND SUNDAY AFTERNOON...

Severe thunderstorms are expected to affect the Boundary Waters
Canoe Area Wilderness after 7AM and again in the afternoon after
3PM. The storms may produce damaging winds, large hail, frequent
cloud to ground lightning, and locally heavy rainfall. A tornado
or two cannot be ruled out at this time.

Now is the time to prepare in case thunderstorms threaten.
Campers should take extra precautions now 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 and avoid putting your tent on top of exposed tree roots to
minimize your risk. Monitor NOAA Weather Radio for updates and
possible warnings.
