Friday Evening Northland Forecast: 2/7/2025

Here Comes More Snow

We have a Winter Weather Advisory in effect from Midnight tonight til 6pm Saturday evening. It covers the whole area, except for the far northern parts of the Iron Range. It’s generally for 2-5″ of snow for the northern half of the viewing area, and 6-8″ of snow for the southern half, heading down toward the Twin Cities. The dividing line between those two areas is roughly Hinckley. The snow will begin after Midnight tonight, and continue overnight, ending before noon on Saturday. After that, it will become breezy, with north winds 10-15mph Saturday afternoon. So, it’s not a big snowstorm, more like a nuisance snow. But, if you’re heading to the Cities Saturday or Sunday, you will likely encounter heavier amounts of snow, and some blowing and drifting Saturday afternoon.

After the snow is done, a blast of cold, arctic air comes to stay for several days. Our average high and low now is 22 and 3. On Saturday, our high will be 18, and it all goes downhill from there. Our high temps beginning Sunday will be: 15, 12, 4, 10, 9 and 14. Our lows are going to be ridiculous! Monday morning and Tuesday morning, the low is going to be about -18 both days. With any wind at all, we will be looking at windchills of -30 those mornings. I don’t see us hitting our average high (in the low 20s) for the next 7-10 days. But, we are catching up on our snowfall deficit a little bit. A week ago today, we were 28 inches below our seasonal average. Today, we are at 33.1″ of snow for the season, so our snow deficit is a mere 22.7″. We still have a ways to go, but if we can get 4 or 5 inches of snow by noon tomorrow, that will help!

Have a great weekend, and be sure you shovel before the cold air and wind arrives. And, enjoy the Super Bowl on FOX, Sunday at 5:30pm!
