A very dry weather pattern will continue in the Northland through at least the middle of next week, but some precipitation is possible as we get into late next week but there continues to be a lot of uncertainty in the computer models with how the pattern sets up late next week.
Any precipitation that we do see in the Northland late next week should mainly be in the form of rain the way it looks now.
Precipitation Anomalies for October 2022 (thru the 28th)
Duluth, MN: -1.88″ below normal
Brainerd, MN: -1.73″ below normal
Ashland, WI: -1.68″ below normal
Hibbing, MN: -1.35″ below normal
International Falls, MN: -1.32″ below normal
The rest of this month will be dry in the Northland with any precipitation chances holding off until late next week.
There is plenty of cold air lurking well to the north with temperatures as cold as -26 F at Eureka, Nunavut Canada this afternoon while widespread teens and 20s covered northwest Canada and Alaska today, but with winds aloft coming out of the west (zonal flow) this cold air won’t be able to penetrate very far south through the middle of next week. Some changes to the pattern are possible late next week which could allow some of this cold air to push farther south/east, but just how far south/east is unknown at this time as computer models are showing wild swings from one day to the next.
Note: High temperatures in the Northland will range from the mid 50s to low to mid 60s Saturday through at least next Wednesday.
