WEDNESDAY: Expect a wet, windy day. Northern Minnesota sees the highest precipitation chances, including the potential for mixed precipitation #WeatherLoon #mnwx
Interesting the latest Ice Out date was in 2018, when that's when we had 100 degrees on Memorial Day. #mnwx
It will be a warmer Tuesday night in the Northland thanks to mostly cloudy skies and a light southerly wind with low temperatures in the upper 20s and low 30s. A storm system will bring breezy winds and plenty of showers Wednesday with highs in the 40s and 50s. Most of the showers will be rain, but some snow and sleet could mix in north of highways 169 and 1.

April opened on the cool side, but we’re seeing more above‑average days as we head toward the weekend. Just a heads‑up: even though Sunday looks like the warmest day, weekend rain showers may cut into outdoor plans #WeatherLoon #mnwx
Trying to focus on weather today...
We'll be briefly milder Wednesday.
It will finally feel more like spring this weekend into Monday.
