A cold Halloween ahead from Winnipeg to the Soo (Sault Ste. Marie) south to Memphis, New Orleans to Mexico City! Blue blob everywhere, run! Warm spots for Halloween include the eastern U.S. and parts of the far western U.S.

Well the Halloween snow event which looked to impact portions of Minnesota several days ago has only shifted a couple hundred miles to the east since then, forecast models weren’t too far off.

Rinse and Repeat! Next week’s pattern continues to look quite cold! I think some parts of the Northland will have low temperatures dipping into the single digits, possibly close to 0F sometime mid to late next week.

…Weather Summary…
Outside of the cold temperatures there really isn’t much else to talk about when it comes to the weather around here.
The pattern is a quiet one, at least in terms of impactful storm systems affecting the Northland through next week, that’s what a cold/dry airmass will do, it keeps the big storms away (at least most of the time)
A few flurries possible in spots tonight, otherwise partly to mostly cloudy skies with lows in the lower teens to lower 20s. Winds will be out of the southwest or northwest at 5 to 15 mph.
Halloween is looking dry but cold under partly to mostly cloudy skies. Highs ranging from around 30 to 36 degrees with lows Thursday night in the teens and 20s. Winds on Thursday will be out of the southwest or northwest at 10 to 20 mph.
There should be a little bit of snow falling from the sky at times on Friday, but this won’t amount to much, maybe a light dusting in a few spots but that would be about it. A cold front moving through the region on Friday will produce this storm of flurries. Highs on Friday are forecast to be in the 30s.
Note: Could be some additional snow showers or mixed rain/snow showers this weekend but little if any snow accumulation is expected the way it looks now. A system in the Sunday night-Monday time frame could bring a light snowfall to some parts of the area but computer models differ on the exact track of that one, stay tuned.
