Good info, thanks.

It's not the rain that intimidates me.  It's this...



From Wikipedia

The highest frequency of tornadoes, commonly (but incorrectly) called "tornado season", shifts geographically depending on the season. During the winter months the Southeastern United States receives the highest number of tornadoes. During the months of March - May the threat shifts into the central United States. Then during the summer months the highest concentration of tornadoes tends to shift farther north as the weather warms across the U.S. Technically speaking, however, the central plains may be considered part of the tornado alley almost all-year-round, since this is where "temperature swings" between warm and cold air are most common.

I'm hoping it will be humid...

Hmmm.... I was wondering what gear I was going to wear. With highs in the 80s and lows in the 60s, it looks like vented mesh gear, a windshirt for under the mesh on cool mornings and a separate rain suit.

I spent 10yrs in St Loo.... and know all about that!

Remembering 04 and 05....it WILL be hot.  There may or may not be tornados.  Cougars are bad.

I've been wondering about what gear to wear too.  If it is consistently in the 80s during the day, I'll want my perforated jacket and separate rain gear.  If the highs are in the lower 70s with cool mornings, I'll want my waterproof 3/4 length jacket and won't need all my rain gear.  If it is in the 50s in the mornings, I'll want my heated jacket liner.

Ah the Midwest and its weather...  It does keep you guessing.  

[Scoop]

I would be VERY surprised to need any heated gear.  I will wear my liners along L. Superior to Duluth, but will leave them in Duluth for the rest of the ride.  I predict heat.
