Wednesday Morning Northland Forecast: 10/2/2024

Warm and Windy Wednesday

The weather is finally taking on more of a fall-like feel. After 3 consecutive days of record heat last week, we are now cooling down, and the winds are strong both in front of, and behind a series of cold fronts from the northwest that are moving through the area. That is typical in the springtime, and transitioning from summer to fall. The main thing I’m still waiting for, is some rain. We have a slight chance for that late on Saturday, but I’m not too excited about what the models are showing me, just yet.

High pressure will continue to be the dominant weather factor for most of the next week. We are not seeing any strong low pressure systems or dips in the jetstream out west that will be able to generate any significant moisture events for us. It will happen, eventually. But, it’s like staring at a pot of water on the stove….if you keep looking at it, it’s not going to happen! Our average high for today is 60 degrees. We are looking for a high of 73. The record high temp for today is 86, set in 1953, so at least we’re not going to hit that. We are cooling down, overall. The expected low temp on Friday morning is 38 degrees. That will feel a bit brisk on the way to work or school!

So, enjoy your warm and windy Wednesday. The weekend is getting closer!
