Storms Spare Lakes Region, Autumn Weather Arrives

The conditions now match the season in the Lakes Region as the passage of a cold front brings more seasonal temperatures.

While a Severe Thunderstorm Watch was posted for the Lakes Region Saturday, most of the severe storms were north and south of the area. The front did bring some heavy rain and then ushered in the cooler air with highs in the upper 60s to 70s and lows in the 40s.

The National Weather Service says winds will be gusty over the next few days with low relative humidity that could lead to some fire hazards in the region prior to the next chance of rain Thursday night into Friday.
