Looks like no flying today. The weather forecast is for thunderstorms east of Thunder Bay. Was hoping to fly to Sault Ste. Marie, but weather looks better for tomorrow.The weather at Thunder Bay itself is still clear, warm and humid. I may decide to do some circuits later in the day.
Below is the current weather observations over an abandoned airport on our preferred route. You can see how quickly the weather is changing over 1 hour and where the thunderstorm arrives and passes through.

For non-aviators, this means the weather sucks - cloud down to 1800 ft, 4 miles visibility, with the attention-getting thundershowers.
