Brandon Weatherz: Pleasant New Year’s weekend ahead
[anvplayer video=”5155126″ station=”998130″]
It’s a day where our high temp was set around 1 am, when it was 27 in Duluth. Cooler air moves into the region from the northwest through the day with temps falling into single digits and teens by mid-morning, then recovering to mid-teens to low 20s in the afternoon. It’s otherwise a quiet travel day with partly cloudy skies.
We fall to single digits tonight with cloud cover thickening. Our New Year’s Eve is cloudy with temps returning to mid-20s and low 30s. A few snow showers are possible in the afternoon and evening that would only bring a couple tenths of an inch, if that. New Year’s Day is mostly cloudy and mild with similar temps to Saturday.
We continue to monitor a system that would potentially impact the region Monday through Tuesday. Uncertainty is still high in the exact track of the system, leading to low confidence in timing, precipitation type, and accumulation potential. Snow would taper off by Wednesday with quieter weather the rest of next week.
