February 13: The chilly air continues

The air is frigid for another morning in the Northland. The sun will be a big factor in tempers getting above 0 degrees today as high pressure stays overhead.

The series of chilly morning continue as high pressure overhead continues to dominate. The clear skies and dense cold air allow for temperatures to fall well below zero seeing overnight lows dipping to – 30 degrees across the Northland. The light but consistent winds from the north add an additional chill to the region as a Cold Weather Advisory remains in effect until 10 AM this morning.

Temperatures will take a slight jump upwards Friday and Saturday as southeast winds come in ahead of the next blast of arctic air for Sunday and all next week.

With the few days of the weekend being slightly warmer than we have seen recently, the chances for snow are increasing. A clipper will cut across the area Friday afternoon and continue overnight bringing a couple inches from Brainerd to the Twin Ports and further east through out the northern tier of Wisconsin.

As the brief snow system clears out Saturday morning winds will remain favorable for South Shore Lake effect precipitation as the northwest flow allows for some slight snow accumulation across northeastern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula.
