Wednesday Morning Northland Forecast: 9/4/2024

Cooler Temps Are on the Way!

Last Monday, we had a high of 90 degrees. Today, we are shooting for a high of 80. By Friday, we are expecting a high of 62. Yikes! What’s going on here? We are still officially in summer, at least for 17 more days. But fall is knocking on the door, and as the jetstream begins its southerly trek, we will definitely notice the difference. It’s just a matter of time, and the angle of the sun’s incoming solar radiation. But, we won’t get into that right now.

The high pressure we had has moved off to the east coast, and two areas of low pressure are sliding in from North Dakota, along with an associated cold front. That means a pretty good chance for us to see some rain showers late today, and into the overnight. Amounts aren’t expected to be that much. A quarter inch for most of us, with a few lucky folks getting a half inch. It’s a fast moving system, and by Thursday afternoon, we’ll see sunshine resuming control. We’ll see a high today of near 80, and a high tomorrow of only 68. Our expected high on Friday is a mere 62 degrees. We will rebound back to the low 70s by Sunday. Next week already looks very nice, with highs heading back into the low to mid 70s. I think we will still have plenty of nice late summer, and early fall days ahead of us.

So, enjoy this Wednesday that feels like a Tuesday (if you had Monday off). Or, maybe it feels like…..whatever. Enjoy the sunshine, warm winds and nice temps. I can hear the cooler winds of autumn getting ready to make a trip to the Northland in the not too distant future.
