The lingering vestiges of summer that brought sunny skies and highs well into the 70s in recent days are about to come to a screeching halt across the Northland.
A potent cold front is about to sweep in from northern Canada. There’s no snow in the forecast, but plenty of clouds, rain and wind in coming days with temperatures that are more normal for October.
Highs by Wednesday won’t get out of the 40s across much of the region, according to the National Weather Service in Duluth, with lows on Friday and Saturday mornings down into the 30s.
Some areas from the Iron Range north could see frost Friday and Saturday mornings.
There isn’t even a 60-degree high in the forecast until Monday.
The National Climate prediction center says the eastern half of the U.S. will see far colder than normal temperatures for the next week. But that trend is expected to fade by the end of September with moderating temperatures.
Autumn to come crashing into Northland
