Sabrina Ullman: Relatively warm, quiet week ahead

Sunday forecast December 3

Today will be cloudy with flurries possible in the morning.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy with overnight lows in the 20s for the majority of the Northland. Areas east of Sawyer County will drop to the upper teens.

Monday will be slightly warmer than it was today. Afternoon highs will range from the low 30s towards the international border to around 40 degrees for areas around the Bayfield Peninsula.

There is a chance of light snow Monday night, with under half an inch of accumulation expected. Most of the snow with this system will be in far southern Minnesota into Iowa. A few flurries can be expected for the South Shore on Tuesday morning with a light northwest wind.

While the little bit of snow that will be brought by the Monday-Tuesday clipper is not too noteworthy, we will see strong southerly winds once this system exits the region. Wednesday’s winds will bring in warmth from areas south, resulting in temperatures in the upper 30s to low 40s Wednesday. On Thursday, we will even see some upper 40s.

Temperatures peak Thursday, but we will still see above-normal temperatures continue Friday and Saturday. There is potential for more seasonable temperatures starting next Sunday.
