Justin Liles: Warm Stretch Continues

Our warm weather stretch is likely to continue this week. We may see a couple of chances of a wintry mix tonight and early tomorrow morning that could lead to slick travel early Tuesday morning. Make sure to watch Good Morning Northland to find out if you will have any issues going to school or work. Tuesday temperatures will be cooler than Monday but not by much. The entire region will again be in the upper 30s to lower 40s. There is another chance of a wintry mix Wednesday night into Thursday but once again it will likely do more harm to our snowpack then good.

As the unseasonably warm weather stretch continues, we will see temperatures cool down some Saturday and Sunday, however it will still be near 30°F. The entire region returns to the 40s. This warm trend could have major impacts on local ski hills, trails, and events. Warm conditions along with winds can increase melting rates around the region.
