Special Weather Statement issued June 9 at 2:44PM CDT by NWS Duluth MN

Severe thunderstorms are expected to affect the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness on Wednesday. Several rounds of storms are possible early Wednesday morning between 3 to 8 AM and another round Wednesday afternoon and evening after 2pm. The storms may produce damaging winds, large hail, tornadoes, frequent cloud- to- ground lightning, and locally heavy rainfall. 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.
