Marine Thunderstorm Wind · Lake Superior

The Saxon Harbor marine observation station SXHW3 recorded a gust to 41 knots.

A potent storm system brought multiple rounds of severe storms to the Northland starting during the early morning hours of the 8th. Very little in the way of severe weather was observed with this initial round of storms. A warm front then lifted across the region through the day, bringing a very moist and unstable airmass to the area. Storms begin firing during the afternoon hours ahead of a cold front bringing all modes of severe weather during the late afternoon and evening hours before transitioning to more of a low end hail and damaging wind threat through the overnight hours and into the morning of the 9th. A few strong wind reports were recorded by observation sites along the shore of western Lake Superior during the event.
