Severe thunderstorms are expected to affect the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness early this afternoon for the westernmost portions of the Boundary Waters, then again late this evening for all of the Boundary Waters. The storms may produce damaging winds, large hail, frequent cloud-to-ground lightning, and locally heavy rainfall. The first round of severe thunderstorms could happen as early as noon and ending before 5 PM. The second round of severe storms are expected to arrive late this evening with the most likely time for thunderstorms between 9 PM and 3 AM Tuesday. 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.
