Last week qualified as summer, no matter what the calendar reports. Daytime temperatures reached 80 and higher, with mild overnights.

Today will feature mild temperatures with scattered showers. Thursday will be warm, mainly sunny and ideal for outdoor recreation and work. It is a better choice than Friday and Saturday, which bring a change to cool conditions and considerable shower activity.The sun returns on Sunday, with a return to seasonal temperatures early next week.

One of the questions I hear a lot is:  Does big Lake Superior impact the weather in the area?
The short answer is: Somewhat – especially in Thunder Bay – and to a lesser degree in the points north. I have prepared an article -Lake Breeze –  that tells us more about that factor and it is available here to read or bring over to your computer to print and save.
