A late week weather system should stay south of the Northland, but if you have travel plans that take you to South Dakota, southwest Minnesota, Nebraska or Iowa be prepared for possible wintry precipitation and some rain.

Temperature Anomaly Forecast through March 30, 2018.
Blue/Purple colors=Below Normal Temperatures
Orange/Red colors=Above Normal Temperatures
White areas=Near Normal Temperatures
Note: The trend through the rest of this month is for cooler than normal temperatures in northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin but like today we will have a couple days mixed in with temperatures in the 40s, but I don’t see Duluth hitting 50F this month, the average date for first 50 degree temperature at Duluth, Minnesota is March 18, probably will have to wait until sometime in April for that first 50 degree temperature in the Twin Ports.
