Looking Ahead
Dry, Mild and Beautiful are 3 words that sames up what I’m seeing in the forecast for quite a few days ahead, A huge high pressure system will continue to bring sunny, mild, weather conditions Next weekend looks especially sunny, mild and nice. We could be having highs as warm as the mid 70s! The models continue putting us in a dry and mild pattern through the 12th of October Wednesday the 13 the models pick up on a cold front dropping south and delivering us a dose of chilly air and a quick shot of rain by the 15th, highs could be in the 40s, with lows in the 20s area wide! Light snow continues to be possible with this system in Northern Minnesota. It drys back out after this front and warms slightly by the 17th, then another cold front gives us a shot of rain and cooler temps by the end of the model run on the 19th of Oct. More on this later.
