Friday night is shaping up to have an active #severe #weather event for the #Northland.

All the ingredients are likely to come together to have a widespread nighttime outbreak. Best timing is between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m.

High #winds will be the greatest threat, but #hail, #tornadoes, and flash #flooding are also possible.

Before going to bed, make sure you have multiple ways to get alerts, and know where to go in case you need to take shelter.

As of the early afternoon of June 20, 2025, the Storm Prediction Center has put an Enhanced risk for severe weather over the northern half of the Northland, focused on the Iron Range, Arrowhead, and Twin Ports regions. The rest of the area is in a Slight Risk. The greatest severe weather event to occur will be high winds with gusts up to and over 80 mph. Hail up to 2+ inches, possible tornadoes, and flash flooding are also possible.
A picture featuring a model run of how the likely severe weather outbreak will be in the Northland shows the most widespread storm coverage will be during the early hours of Saturday, June 21, 2025. The timeframe for storms to pass through will be between 10 p.m. Friday and 6 a.m. Saturday.
A reminder graphic that the best shelter from severe weather is having as many barriers between yourself and the outside. A basement is the best place to be for this, but an interior room on the lowest floor of a building, such as a closet, hallway, bathroom, and underneath a staircase, will also work.
A graphic showing items that make up a severe weather kit, which should be in your safe place when riding out a severe weather event. Items include a weather radio, batteries, flashlight, first aid kit, water, duct tape, tools, towels, can opener, mask, and cash.

A thought-provoking essay: “There is no time to wait. States & localities that start to invest in managed retreat now will incur far less damage in the future, saving lives and avoiding financial ruin. And governors, mayors and county leaders who demonstrate leadership before disaster strikes will be able to stand tall knowing they did what was necessary to protect their communities.”
