Warmer times ahead; 30s to near 40 degree highs by this weekend

Several weak low pressure systems will pass through the upper Midwest through early next week. Not looking at a whole lot of precipitation with any of these systems, so overall it looks fairly dry into early next week in northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin, with that said, there is a chance for a little snow or freezing drizzle in parts of the Northland on Friday but snow accumulations would be very light where it does snow (a few tenths of an inch at most)

Low temperature reports from around the Northland from Wednesday morning, December 18, 2019.

Warming trend begins on Thursday, and will really kick into high gear over the weekend. Warmer than normal temps are expected to linger through most of next week the way it looks now.

Long range computer models agree on a southwest flow aloft developing next week, but disagree as to whether there would be any impactful weather systems which may affect the Northland later next week with some snow, mixed precip or even rain. Stay tuned.
