A quiet weather pattern continues in the Northland this week and probably into next week as well. I’m just not seeing a consistent enough signal in model guidance to say that our stretch of quiet weather will end anytime soon, enjoy!

| March is coming up fast, you know what that means, don’t you? State Tournament blizzards! It never fails, happens every March where people talk about getting hit with a blizzard right around tournament time, yet we haven’t had a whole lot of snow around here during the month of March in years, but that won’t stop people from talking about getting hit with a blizzard right around state tournament time.

High temperature forecast for Tuesday, February 25th, 2020.
…Weather Summary…
Our string of beautiful early spring like weather continued today with plentiful sun, a gentle breeze along with high temperatures which ranged from 35 to 42 degrees, roughly 10 to 15 degrees above normal for late February.
There isn’t a whole lot to talk about when it comes to our weather this week.
A cooling trend begins Tuesday with highs in the upper 20s to lower 30s which is still a little above normal for this time of the year. Temperatures will cool even further Wednesday and Thursday with highs in the teens and 20s.
Lows tonight will be in the teens and 20s, cooling to the single digits to around 20 Tuesday night, and from the single digits below to teens above zero for Wednesday night and Thursday night.
Will have partly to mostly cloudy sky conditions across the Northland tonight through Wednesday. There is a chance for a few flurries Tuesday and Wednesday along with some lake effect snow showers along the South Shore of Lake Superior as north winds combine with a colder air mass with -15 to -25C 850mb temperatures to produce some lake effect east of the Twin Ports. Snowfall accumulations could reach 1 to 3 inches along the South Shore from Tuesday night through early Thursday.
