According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, storms are not expected to be severe, but some communities may see heavy downpours before skies clear. Behind the front, drier weather will settle in through the weekend, but temperatures will tumble.
Lows Thursday night are forecast to dip into the upper 30s in cities such as Ely, Hibbing, and Grand Rapids, with frost possible in sheltered areas. A frost advisory may be issued for late Thursday into Friday morning, especially for northern St. Louis and Lake counties.
