Take an extra layer and, of course, rain gear. I do like mirth and AmarilloJim, giving more weight to the Ely forecast once away from GM, since I'm then away from the big lake effect. |

07/31/2017 02:18PM Grand Marais proper is on the shore of Superior. Ely is a good general forecast as it's somewhat centrally located. I always bring a weather radio & rely on that once in. |

07/31/2017 01:54PMquote QueticoMike: "Where's your entry point?" Entry point 64, East Bearskin Lake I have been looking at Accuweather for both Ely and Grand Marais. For today Ely high is predicted at 82. Grand Marais is predicted at 67. To me this is a large difference. |

07/31/2017 01:28PM I usually look up historical averages and record highs before a trip. I get both Grand Marais and Ely forecasts right before entry when on the GM side of the BW. There's usually little or no difference. I do carry a small weather radio on trips, which just gives me the nearest NOAA forecast (GM). |

07/31/2017 10:04AM How do you get an idea of the weather ahead of a trip? I am most interested in daily highs and lows. I am planning some day trips near East Bearskin Lake. I can pull up accuweather forecast for Grand Marais but is that a good approximation? It seems Grand Marais is right on the shore of Lake Superior and this would affect the weather. |
