DISCUSSION
Issued at 303 AM CDT Tue Apr 29 2025
Today through Wednesday:
Area radars showed light rain was widespread over northern Minnesota into far northwest Wisconsin early this morning with the rain moving east. Little instability is left and we don't expect any more lightning this morning. Colder air was moving in on breezy northerly winds and we've seen some snow develop over parts of northern Minnesota and this will continue to be possible this morning as the low moves off and the cold air advection continues over all of the Northland. Little snow accumulation is expected. Precipitation will diminish from west to east today with most areas dry by late morning or early afternoon. Clouds will also decrease through the day but some cumulus will likely form in spots but it's expected to remain scattered or less. Highs will top out in the mid-forties to mid- fifties.
Clear skies will occur tonight with high pressure moving through. Lows will be from the mid-twenties to lower thirties.
Most of the area will remain dry Wednesday but an approaching shortwave aloft and weak surface low will bring low chances, 20-30%, for late afternoon showers to far north-central Minnesota. Highs will be in the sixties with it cooler near Lake Superior due to off lake winds.
Wednesday night into Friday:
The shortwave aloft will continue to move east over the Northland Wednesday night into Thursday with chances for light rain occurring. Rainfall amounts Wednesday night into Friday morning will be around or less than a quarter of an inch.
Thursday be cooler than Wednesday for most with highs from the lower fifties to lower sixties. Rain chances end on Friday with highs from the mid-forties to mid-fifties.
Saturday and Sunday:
Dry conditions are expected over the weekend with highs from the lower sixties to around seventy Saturday, warming into the seventies Sunday. Areas around Lake Superior will be cooler though, especially along the North Shore.

VFR conditions are returning across the area early this afternoon as yesterday's storm system continues to pull away to the east. Northwest winds will diminish through the remainder of the day before becoming southeasterly at 5kts or less through the overnight. Southerly winds increase through tomorrow morning with some high clouds moving in, but VFR conditions will prevail.

Issued at 1045 AM CDT Tue Apr 29 2025
No major changes from the previous discussion. Northerly winds will continue to decrease through the day. Fog will also continue to diminish with both stronger northerly winds occurring and lower dewpoints moving in. Could have a few light show or rain showers at times, but little to no accumulation is expected.
The wind will be much lighter this afternoon and it will back for most to southwest late and be at or below 15 knots. Winds continue to back tonight into Wednesday becoming easterly and remaining around or lower than 15 knots.
