Sabrina Ullman: Breezy conditions continue

November 17: Windy day

Today will have strong west winds and highs in the 40s.

Skies will clear midday for most of the area today, but the Iron Range and areas north will stay cloudy. Temperatures in far northern Minnesota will only reach the low 40s while the rest of the Northland reaches the mid to upper 40s.  

We will have a break from the breezy conditions tonight through most of Monday. This week, a robust low-pressure system will move from Texas toward the Upper Midwest, bringing widespread precipitation.

The precipitation type will be rain Monday night into Tuesday. Depending on the track of this system, we could see snow mix in with the rain Tuesday night, Wednesday, and potentially Thursday. Strong winds will return Tuesday through Thursday, and the rest of the week will have highs in the 30s.
