All eyes are currently on an area of low pressure coming in from the Rockies. This slow moving low is going to create some heavy rain across the Northland starting late tomorrow night and lasting through the weekend. The focal point will be northern Minnesota. The Iron Range, International Border and Arrowhead could see some localized flooding due to the slow movement of the aforementioned low.

Beginning tomorrow winds will pick up off the lake and temperatures will become much cooler by the lake. Winds could gust as high as 30 mph. Through the week temperatures will be cooler than average for most of the region by a few degrees. Stay tuned for additional updates and rainfall amounts.
