Sabrina Ullman: A few flurries this afternoon
Today will be cloudy with a light east wind of 5-10 mph. Areas stretching from International Falls to Bemidji and northward will only reach the upper teens this afternoon. The rest of the area will have highs in the 20s to around 30 degrees.
Tonight will have some overnight lows dropping to the single digits in Lake of the Woods, Beltrami, and northern Koochiching Counties. The Iron Range and areas near Aitkin and Brainerd will drop to the teens, while the rest of the Northland will stay in the 20s.
There are a couple of rounds of snow ahead, but accumulations will be light. The first starts this afternoon. From noon today to noon Wednesday, there will be on and off flurries and light snow showers with accumulations at around an inch total.
Another round is likely Wednesday afternoon into Thursday morning. This will also have light snow accumulations but will usher in strong northerly winds and much cooler temperatures. By the end of the week, we will have afternoon highs in the single digits and subzero temperatures overnight.
