Some news from East Bearskin via Jane, my Dad made it up there safe and is with Jim working on sprinklers and such. That is good to hear. She said the fire team knows of their location should anything flare up and force a mandatory evacuation. Things sound intense up there, but its good to know we have lots of professionals who have been preparing for this since July 5th 1999 working their hearts out. They will get some big applause for all of their work through this I am sure.
Wind is the big question now. WIth that several mile long finger sticking it self right down between Loon and Gunflint lakes and Poplar lake. Its a thin finger now, but if the wind moves to the East it could push this finger in a large front west towards Gunflint lodge. Or if the wind turns the other way, it heads towards trail center.
The forecast calls for winds to be easterly 5-15 today, and then turning Northerly later. Isolated shower possible late tonight Tomorrow will be cool with low winds that will trend south east. Then sunday to monday, there is a 40-20% chance for thunderstorms
Yesterday was the bad day it seems with dry, hot and very intense wind. Now we are getting back into normal cool spring weather and that is good news.
