[anvplayer video=”5190072″ station=”998130″]

Today will have passing clouds and a light southerly wind. Afternoon highs will be in the 60s by the lake and in the 70s for the rest of area.

Temperatures will gradually increase this week, with some areas back in the low eighties starting Wednesday. By Saturday, we will be in the mid to upper 80s throughout the Northland.

There is a chance of rain Monday, but most of the area will have 0.1″ or less of accumulation. This time of year, we need half an inch to an inch of rain per week. That is looking unlikely this week, so drought conditions will continue to worsen.
