[anvplayer video=”5141145″ station=”998130″]

Yesterday’s warmth is long gone, and today’s highs will easily be 20 degrees cooler. We head out the door to mild temps, but highs will be stifled in low to mid-50s for much of the region with low 60s still achieved near and east of Ashland. Last night’s cold front has also left behind a blustery west wind for our Wednesday gusting near 30 mph. An early round of rain with a few rumbles of thunder tapers off to the east through the morning. Scattered showers return from the west in the afternoon and evening.

Temperatures fall into low to mid-30s overnight. Lines of precipitation will persist across the region, transitioning to snow near and north of the Iron Range. An unsettled weather pattern will continue to send occasional snow and rain showers our way through Friday. If light accumulation of less than an inch is able to collect, it would be across the Arrowhead early Friday morning. Highs will be in low to mid-40s Thursday and upper 30s to low 40s Friday. The weekend will continue to be cool with a slight chance for rain or snow showers lingering both Saturday and Sunday.
