Most of the Northland spent the day cleaning up from our April Fools’ snowstorm mess. The North Shore was the area that received the most snow. Warmer temperatures and sunshine did help in melting our snow. Northwesterly winds this evening will become calm to give way to southwesterly winds tomorrow morning ahead of the next incoming cold front Friday evening. A trace to just over an inch of new snowfall is expected mainly in northern Minnesota Friday night ahead of the cold front crossing over the region Saturday morning. As this weak clipper moves through, most of us will see a shift back to northwesterly winds Saturday afternoon. Behind the front, temperatures will cool down back into the 30s. High pressure will take over, and we will see plenty of sunshine through the weekend. The U.P. of Michigan may see some lake effect snow Sunday night into Monday.

If you are looking for some good news. The next 8-14 days look warmer than average with drier conditions.
