Skies will clear out tonight as temperatures drop into the upper 20s to low 30s. Areas around the big lake will see fog to start our Tuesday.

A surface low in Iowa is moving farther north and getting stronger as it moves north. Not only will we some parts of the Northland see rain tonight, but we will also see the winds increasing tonight too. Most of the rain tonight will stay near the head of the lake and south through northwestern Wisconsin and east central Minnesota.

Skies will continue to see a little more cloud cover through the early evening hours. More sunshine is likely tomorrow although Stronger westerly to southwesterly winds develop tomorrow morning, with gusts around 20 mph through the afternoon.

Clouds increase tonight with breezy conditions. Rain is set to return Wednesday with fog developing Wednesday night.

Parts of Northland have received rain today. It hasn’t been a lot for the Twin Ports, but, across parts of the Iron Range to the International Border have stayed wet most of the day. The cooling down of temperatures as the sun goes down is likely going to lead to some heavy fog through midnight and linger through the morning hours.

A strong low-pressure system is set to move across our region bringing widespread rain and windy conditions. The strongest wind gusts near 50 mph are expected along the lakeshore areas near Lake Superior from the pre-dawn hours of Tuesday morning through early Tuesday afternoon. We are under a Wind Advisory until 4 pm Tuesday afternoon. Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects and tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result. These winds will coincide with a forecast 2 to 3 inches of rainfall for the high terrain ridge of the North Shore and along the lakeshore. Elsewhere light to moderate rainfall spreads in tonight through tomorrow with totals varying between 0.5 to 1.5 inches.

Our massive are of low pressure impacting the Northland will move into Manitoba this evening, and rain will taper off from south to north. We are coming off some decent rainfall reports around the region.

The large upper-level low we have been dealing with has finally brought in enough cold air to generate some light snow. Scattered light snow showers will continue tonight into Thursday for portions of the area. Areas near Lake Superior will see more of a wintry mix to all rain. It’s one of those situations where we see more flakes on the hill and drizzle closer to the Lake. As temperatures warm above freezing tomorrow, lingering light snow will transition to light rain. Additional snow accumulations tonight through Thursday are expected to be under an inch. We are just looking at a light dusting in grassy surfaces. New snow accumulations are expected to be at or under an inch.

Strong early morning winds will weaken some tonight but still be blustery out of the Northwest. Stronger lake-effect showers will affect northwest Wisconsin overnight. These will be rain showers. Temperatures will trend cooler over the next few days. We should see a few days of quiet weather Friday and Saturday, before chances of precipitation return through the day Sunday. A rain/snow mix is possible Sunday into Monday.

November 22nd: A little snow possible this weekend
