Sunday Evening Northland Forecast: 3/23/2025

A Messy Monday

Why, yes. It is Spring, officially. Just don’t tell Mother Nature that. The persistent low pressure system that arrived in the Northland late Saturday night is going to hang around a little bit longer. There are Winter Storm Warnings in effect this evening for far northern Minnesota, the North Shore, and parts of the South Shore, into the U.P. of Michigan. The rest of northern Minnesota, northern Wisconsin and the U.P. is under Winter Weather Advisories that go overnight into early Monday afternoon. The heaviest snow amounts still to fall will be from Ironwood, MI to Hancock, MI where 6″ to 12″ of new snow may fall tonight, into midday Monday. Most of northern Minnesota and the South Shore of Lake Superior will only see a few inches of additional snow tonight, with higher amounts in localized areas. The biggest nuisance overnight will be the strong NW winds, which will easily gust to 35mph or more.

Monday morning will be messy until the plows come through, and the still strong NW winds will make for a cold and raw morning. Monday will start out cold, cloudy and windy. The afternoon will become mostly sunny, from west to east, with high temps reaching the upper 30s. Then, we start a very pleasant stretch of days, all the way from Tuesday through Thursday, with lots of sunshine, and highs in the low to upper 40s. By Friday, another strong low reaches the area, and this one is going to be as much, if not more of a pest than the storm system we have right now. It will become quite windy on Friday, with a high about 38 degrees. Then, a combination of rain, snow and ice will swoop in late Friday night, and continue all the way through the weekend. Highs will be in the mid to upper 30s next weekend, with the rain/snow and ice on Saturday becoming snow and freezing rain on Sunday. Like I said, welcome to “Spring.”

Good luck!
