Wednesday Morning Northland Forecast: 10/16/2024

Warmer & Windy Wednesday

After two cool mornings to start this workweek, now it’s time to warm things up a bit. About 3/4 of the country is under the influence of high pressure, including the upper midwest. We will see strong winds out of the south and southwest for the next three days, gusting to 25-30mph. The combination of sunshine and strong winds from down south will bring our high temps from the upper 50s today, to near 70 degrees by Sunday. The average high for today is 53 degrees. A cold front will drop us back into the 50s for our high next Tuesday.

A low pressure system and cold front currently in the northwest US will bring us a 30% chance for rain on Saturday, as it passes over the area. I’m not very convinced we will get anything out of it, at this point. If we do, it will be less than a tenth of an inch. We have a similar chance for rain next Tuesday, with the passage of the next cold front. We are still more than 3″ down from the average amount of precipitation for the year. Maybe we can make up for it, with snowfall in a few weeks.

Enjoy this warm and windy Wednesday!
