Lea Zmurko:  Warm days continue, but chances for showers increase

September 16: Warm weather lingers for the start of the week

A few more warm days in the Northland, but some incoming showers and thunderstorms will start to shake things up. Temperatures will be in the low 80s this afternoon and storms will cross the Borderlands tonight. More sun tomorrow morning before the rain continues at the end of the week.

The Northland continues to see high temperatures 10-15 degrees above normal for the next few days. However, conditions will not stay dry and bright as there is more moisture in the region and showers will likely be passing through over the course of the week.

Some scattered showers made their way across the Iron Range in the early morning hours giving the region a damp start to the work week. Rain will clear for the afternoon, but some showers and thunderstorms will cross the Borderlands and Northern Minnesota in the early evening and clear out tomorrow morning.

Temperatures will reach the low 80s this afternoon and then dropping into the mid-60s. Tomorrow will be sunny with more warm weather moving in, southern winds continue to persist for the next few days before more storms arrive Thursday.
