Justin Liles: A nice and mild weekend ahead

An area of high pressure has taken over and looks to keep the majority of the Northland dry until Sunday afternoon into Monday morning. There is a chance of seeing some light flurries this evening toward Grand Rapids. It won’t be much and looks light. Clouds will stick around through the weekend. Temperatures will remain mild through the weekend and parts of east central Minnesota or northern Wisconsin could climb into the 40s.

Our next round of weather looks to come into play late Sunday. This is another quick moving system and now it appears we may see some heavier amounts along the north shore. Travel may become an issue by early Monday morning and possibly through the day along the north shore. Temperatures look to be more seasonal and dry for the middle to end of next week. It should be great traveling weather for the Minnesota boys state hockey tournament.
