Lea Zmurko: Sun is shining till the end

September 27: Ending the week with more sunshine

The sun will stay bright for the weekend as temperatures near record breaking highs for the month of September.

Wrapping up the week with seasonal temperatures as highs reach those low 80s today and tomorrow. These elevated temperatures are near record breaking highs in some areas across the Northland for the end of September.  Clear skies persist overhead as high pressure continues to move across the Midwest with a light wind.

The early morning hours had some patchy fog that cleared with the sunrise. Winds will pick up speed by the afternoon shifting to the northwest as the day brightens.

There will be a change in weather patterns by Monday afternoon as a cold front crosses bringing in a cooler air mass for the first week of October. With the cooler air, also comes a greater chance for frost in the early mornings next week. Slight chance for some showers late on Monday north of the Iron Range.
