…Weather Summary…
Mostly cloudy and cooler in the Northland today with occasional sunny breaks along with areas of light rain showers and snow flurries. Temps this afternoon ranged from the mid 30s to mid 40s with a northwest breeze at 10 to 20 mph.
The Northland will get an extended break in any significant precipitation events this week thanks to a colder/drier airmass which will force the storm track farther to the south and east.
There will be the occasional flurry or snow shower at times tonight into early Monday, otherwise the next few days look mainly dry in our area.
Long term may turn a little more active, but these systems will be moisture starved as they originate from western Canada, result from this will be mostly light snow and or rain events beginning late this week and carrying over into next weekend with some light snowfall accumulation possible in some parts of the Northland, but doesn’t look like there will be any major winter storm impacting the Northland through the end of the month through the first few days of November.
Sky conditions through Tuesday will vary between mostly cloudy and partly cloudy, so it looks like will see at least a little bit of sunshine Monday and Tuesday.
Lows tonight and Monday night will be in the 20s to around 30 degrees. Highs Monday and Tuesday mainly in the 30s.
Northwest to west winds tonight followed by southwest winds on Monday. Wind speeds of 10 to around 20 mph.
