Outdoor Report

The word for this week is COLD! Most highs are near zero degrees and many lows in double-digits. The forecast includes -29 degrees Thursday and (wait for it) -32 degrees Friday night!

The forecast indicates a Tuesday high of 38 degrees, and a sunny Wednesday with a 16-degree high and -2 low. It shows numerous chances for snow this week, but no accumulation at this time. Expect a cold weekend!

The North Woods will see a brief warm-up at midweek, with some sunshine, highs in the upper 30s, lows in the upper teens to mid-20s, and snow chances toward the week’s end. Quite pleasant weather for this time of year, and slightly above the long-term averages.

Following this past weekend’s foot of wet, heavy snow, cold temperatures return to the North Woods. Highs this week run from 6 to 23 degrees, lows from -10 to 6 degrees, and up to 2 inches of snow possible Tuesday.

The second day of winter forecast calls for a relatively mild week ahead, but the prognosticators continue to waver on the high for Christmas day. What was once 40 degrees is now 33 degrees, and of course subject to change at any time! Weather conditions are good through Christmas day Thursday, but with mixed precipitation that night into Friday, and through the weekend.

Take advantage of a very short warm-up Tuesday thru Thursday this week when daytime highs hit the mid- to upper-30s. It is a brief window of opportunity, so be sure to enjoy it!

The forecast predicts a week of snow and cold, no other way to say it ‑ and “official” winter is still two weeks distant! Look for highs from 2-29 degrees, lows from -14 to 16 degrees, and snow accumulation for the week around one foot.

We start December with cold weather that turns colder through the week, with lows ranging from 11 to -14 degrees, and highs from 12 to 24 degrees.

The forecast predicts major changes starting mid-week when single-digit lows and mid-20s highs arrive, with chances for snow ‑ just in time for Thanksgiving. Enjoy the holiday, give thanks, and have safe travels!
