The Storm Prediction Center has placed the northern half of the Northland in a "marginal" risk for severe thunderstorms for the rest of Sunday, April 12, 2026. It is not a guarantee, but if the ingredients for strong or severe supercell thunderstorms do come together, all threats such as large hail, high winds, and even a tornado, could occur.
The timing for Sunday's potential strong/severe weather event will come as a cold front works its way through the Northland late in the afternoon through the evening hours. There will be more showers and thunderstorms no matter their strength, working their way from southwest to northeast.
As for Monday's severe weather potential in the Northland, the Storm Prediction Center has included the southern half of Burnett, Pine, Sawyer, and Washburn counties in an "Enhanced" risk for possible strong or severe thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening hours. The rest of the region along and south of Highway 2 is under either a "Slight" or "Marginal" risk level, with thunderstorm possible across the entire region. All threats, including high winds, large hail, and possible tornadoes, are possible.
