Another cold, windy night is expected across the Northland and, aside from a brief warm-up to normal Thursday and Friday, there appears to be no lull in December's frigid streak.
The wind chill at 2 p.m. at Duluth International Airport was 20 below, with an air temperature of zero.
Temperatures Wednesday morning will drop into the teens below zero in many areas, with overnight winds gusting to 20 mph, creating wind chills in the 20 below to 35 below zero range.
Temperatures will climb above zero and into the teens, hitting close to normal, the low 20s, on Thursday and Friday. But the longer-range forecast calls for more below-normal temperatures into next week.
Duluth's average temperature through the first 15 days of December was about 9.7 degrees, or nearly 7 degrees below normal. Every day since Dec. 6 has been below normal.

Highs right now should be in the low-20s, with lows in the single digits. Instead, we've been dealing with highs barely above zero, and lows well below zero.
