Took a little longer than I thought earlier this afternoon for skies to clear in the Twin Ports and North Shore, but they did later in the afternoon!

Weather Synopsis
High pressure will be in control of our weather during the next few days. Today saw high temperatures in the low 50s to low 60s with a good deal of clouds which cleared out from west to east this afternoon — Will have clear to partly cloudy skies for tonight with very cool overnight lows in the mid 20s to upper 30s, patchy frost is likely in some parts of the Northland for early Sunday morning.
Sunday looks like a real nice spring day with highs in the mid 60s to lower 70s under sunny to partly cloudy skies along with generally light wind speeds around 12 mph or less. A lake breeze is possible close to Lake Superior on Sunday resulting in slightly cooler temperatures near the immediate shoreline areas.
A few more clouds return on Monday as a weak system approaches from the southwest, but most of the showers with that feature should stay to our south. Highs on Monday in the 60s and 70s.
