The North Shore will start to see a lake breeze kick in Wednesday which will cool things off near Lake Superior. Highs will be in the low 70s Wednesday and just 60s there Thursday.

A hopeful chance of storms late week

Dew points will remain comfortable through most of Thursday but moisture will be moving north, becoming borderline sticky Thursday night, near 60 degrees. That moisture combined with a trough/wave aloft will create some thunder late Thursday west and will bring a statewide chance into Friday and Saturday.
