Later this week, two low-pressure systems are expected to move northeast out of the southern Plains. The first will arrive from Thursday through early Friday morning, followed by a second from Friday into Saturday, likely tracking a bit farther south and east than the first. These tracks (red and dark red on the map) are too far south to bring precipitation to northeast Minnesota or northwest Wisconsin between Thursday and Saturday. However, an upper low dropping south from central Canada could bring some light snow to parts of the Northland on Saturday, though it doesn’t appear to be anything significant at this time.
Fog locally dense, with visibility as low as one quarter of a mile, is expected across parts of the Northland once again tonight into Wednesday morning, with visibilities improving by Wednesday afternoon.
HRRR model visibility forecast ending 10 AM Wednesday.

It was a mild January day, with highs in northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin reaching the mid-20s to low-30s, about 5 to 10 degrees warmer than the average for January 6.
Even more remarkable were this morning’s lows, mostly in the 20s, which is roughly 25 degrees above the early January norm.
Bitterly cold air continues to blanket much of Alaska and northwest Canada (Yukon region), but this frigid weather isn’t expected to push south into the Northland anytime soon. However, there are hints that bursts of arctic air could return by mid-January. Time will tell.
