A weather radio isn't a bad piece of gear to have late in the season.

For our September trips, we've started taking a small transistor radio, used only in the evening around supper time to learn the forecast for the next day. CBC (Atikokan), WTIP (Gunflint Lake) and NPR (Ely) are three local stations we've been able to pick up depending upon where in the park we are. (Unfortunately, the CBC Atikokan station switches to a feed from Winnipeg after ?5? PM, so it's not that useful for a local forecast)
