Local View


Locally Tuesday will start off very mild for this time of year with highs in the upper 70s in the afternoon, it will be quite nice, but in the afternoon/evening there is a chance of a few scattered light rain showers, it will be light and it should not cause problems. Wednesday will be a bit breezy and much cooler with sunny skies and highs in the low 60s, which is more seasonable for this time of year. Wednesday night lows will fall into the 30s and frost is a good possibility, but the growing season has ended across the area and it will not cause concerns. Temps will slowly moderate starting Thursday

Looking Ahead

As we head into the starting of next weekend things look seasonable and dry with sunny skies. heading into next week looks slightly more active, Tuesday the 19th the models show something more interesting. it looks like we have our first chance of more significant rain we've had in awhile, The model also shows cold air wrapping in behind this system which could bring the 1st snowfall to parts of Northern Minnesota and far Northern Wisconsin, This may have to be watched closely, after the passing of this storm it looks warmer and dry for Thursday the 21st through the 22nd. Then the models show a significant cold front coming down from Canada by the 26th, very cold temps are possible. things will be changing a lot before this time so be sure to check back often.
