*A sharp NNW flow across the Northland early next week with an upper low remaining near Hudson Bay Canada. What this means is that temperatures will be a little cool but still be close to average for this time of year – especially the high temperatures. (Source, Weather Prediction Center)
*1 week from Today there is a subtle change in the H5 pattern as we see the sharp NNW flow relax a bit with more of a NW flow covering the Upper Midwest late next week. (Source, Weather Prediction Center)
