Frosty morning; otherwise, milder temperatures on Tuesday

WH AT WE A RE T RAC K IN G: A mostly dry and calm week lies ahead of us as we gradually warm up to the 80s by Friday.

NEXT 24 HRS: Frost will be possible again during the early morning hours, although it should be less widespread with a much lower chance of seeing any freezes. Temperatures will fall into the low 30s to near 40 degrees (average low temp is upper 30s to middle 40s) under clear skies and light winds.  Sunny skies and lighter winds will lead to milder conditions for most locations on Tuesday with high temperatures in the middle 60s to lower 70s.

LOOKING AHEA D: Conditions look mild to even warm through the end of the work week. Expect temperatures to gradually warm, returning to the mid-70s by Wednesday. By the end of the week, the 80s look to make another appearance, although it won’t last long. By Saturday, a passing cold front should dip temperatures back down to seasonable levels by Sunday (middle 50s to low 60s). This front will also be responsible for the only chance of rain we have in the next week, prompting a 10-20% chance of rain Saturday night. Although high temperatures start off the new work week at seasonable levels (middle 50s to low 60s), they climb back above average by the middle of the week.

FALL COLORS: Percentage of fall colors continues to slowly increase across the area.  The peak for most of region is in two weeks. Far northern WI and northeast MN are approaching their peak.
