.DISCUSSION...

Cloudy conditions will continue this morning. A break in the
clouds is possible in the mid morning, but will quickly fill back
in by early afternoon as a cold front moves through the Northland.
Rain and mix is expected for the afternoon before transitioning
over to snow in the evening and ending overnight. Any snow
accumulations are expected to be less than an inch.

Because of this quick burst of precipitation, RHs will only get
down into the 60s in the late morning and early afternoon before
the rain begins. Light winds out of the southwest will veer
northwest after the front has passed this evening. Winds are not
likely to exceed 15 mph.

Saturday will be cooler, drier, and patchy sun, with a high in
the upper 30s and RH reaching as low as 35% Saturday afternoon.
Winds out of the northwest will have increased, however, with
10-15 mph sustained and gusts up to 20 mph.
