Weather Synopsis
The weather continues to slowly improve after a couple of real crappy days around here. Upper level system was now southeast of the Northland with a gradual clearing trend noted on visible satellite imagery across the Northland. Western parts of the area had sunshine the longest today which resulted in warmer temperatures with highs in the mid to even upper 70s — Farther east it took longer for the clouds to break up, and this resulted in cooler temperatures with highs in the mid 60s to around 70 degrees this afternoon.
Will have areas of fog developing over northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin later this evening through the overnight hours, and this fog could linger past sunrise Tuesday, some of the fog could become dense! The fog should burn off Tuesday morning giving way to a partly to mostly sunny sky Tuesday afternoon.
Lows tonight will be in the 40s and 50s with highs Tuesday in the 70s with 80s from Brainerd, Grand Rapids up to International Falls and points west.
A cold front passes through the area from NW-SE on Wednesday — A few showers or thunderstorms could develop near this boundary as it moves through. Highs Wednesday will be in the 70s but cooling into the 60s near Lake Superior as a gusty NE wind develops behind the cold frontal passage.
Looks dry Thursday and Friday. Highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s Thursday, and mainly the 70s Friday. Cooler temperatures will occur both days near Lake Superior but more so on Thursday as a gusty NE wind continues.
