February 11: A bitter cold morning

The Northland is gearing up for a series of chilly mornings as the clear skies and arctic northern winds will bring temps well below normal.

We start off Tuesday with brisk air and drastic windchills. A Cold Weather Advisory is in place this morning for most of the region as the conditions outside feels like -25 to -35 until the afternoon when winds die down and the sunshine helps assist conditions to get out of the advisory threshold.

With high pressure overhead and cloud coverage remaining sparce, temperatures will likely drop well below zero tonight and another cold weather alert may be issued for the early hours on Wednesday morning. The Northland is staying in a very chilly trend for the next week as temperatures remain mostly 15 to 20 degrees below normal.

 The clear skies also mitigate the chances for snow for the next few days, but a clipper is expected to move into the region by Friday afternoon bringing measurable snow south of the Iron Range and across northern Wisconsin
