Lea Zmurko: Comfortable now, but chaos to come
The Northland remains quiet with a ridge continuing to develop, temperatures will stay in the upper 40s and low 50s. Some clouds will pass across, but winds will remain light. Some showers will travel to the southwest of Brainerd Lakes, elsewhere remaining dry this afternoon.

The next few evenings remain chilly as the temperatures fall below freezing and some regions could see some light rain and snow fall but the accumulation at the surface remain negligible.
A messy winer system will cross the Borderlands on Friday afternoon and then another low will follow up across central MN and northern WI bringing mixed precipitation to the Northland over the weekend. There is still uncertainty on the tracks of these two systems as well as the timing of precipitation, but the system is slated to clear out by the start of next week.
