8 P.M. RADAR UPDATE: Rain will continue to push through the Rainy River Basin region of the Northland over the next several hours. Some heavy rainfall is possible in spots. A bit of minor flooding is not out of the question, but not the greatest risk.

A view of the radar over the Rainy River Basin region of the Northland at 8 p.m. on September 28, 2026, shows light rain showers passing through, which has been the case so far this Monday evening. A band of heavy rain north and west of Bemidji is moving towards this region from southwest to northeast. It will pass over the next several hours.

The Weather Prediction Center has placed Koochiching and adjacent areas of Itasca and St. Louis counties under a "slight risk" category for excessive rainfall through Monday night. Recent discussion by the center indicates that there could be a few spots that could see over 2-inches of new rainfall due to the training variety of rain showers pushing through northern Minnesota. Minor flooding is possible in low lying spots because of this, but the threat remains low given the dry conditions over recent weeks.

Happy Tuesday afternoon from the Northland! We are back to the summer feel in the air with humid dew points and temperatures back to the 80s. However, this is going to allow showers and thunderstorms to form and pass through the rest of today. Severe storms are possible...

The satellite and radar over the Northland at 1:30 p.m. on August 25, 2026, shows scattered showers and thunderstorms over northwest Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula regions, moving to the east/northeast. Breaks in the cloud cover are being observed across the region, but the focus is shifting back to the Rainy River Basin region, where new shower and thunderstorm development is already taking place. They are moving to the northeast. We will see more development to the south of this cluster, and it will pass through the Northland the rest of this Tuesday.

The Northland is either under a "slight" or "marginal" risk for severe weather conditions for the rest of Tuesday, August 25, 2026. The threat from the strongest thunderstorms will be wind gusts up to 70 mph, hail up to golf-ball size, and possible weak tornadoes.

Temperatures in the Northland just after 1 p.m. on August 25, 2026, range from 61 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit. They warm as one travels east to west across the region.

Dew point readings in the Northland just after 1 p.m. on August 25, 2026, range from 53 to 67 degrees Fahrenheit.

A high-pressure system will keep the Northland dry tonight and Monday with a bit of cloud cover passing through at times. A light lake breeze will keep those next to Lake Superior seasonal for late August standards. VIDEO/DISCUSSION: fox21online.com/weather

A high-pressure system will keep the Northland mostly clear of cloud cover Sunday night. A bit of fog is possible in spots with low temperatures in the 40s and 50s.
