First Widespread Freeze Possible This Week To Northern Minnesota

The National Weather Service in Duluth is sharing a hazardous weather outlook for northeast Minnesota and Northwest Wisconsin. Patchy frost is possible tonight and into early Tuesday morning.

We've been spoiled with unseasonably warm weather. The first weekend in October was the warmest we've ever seen in Northern Minnesota, with record highs on Saturday, and temperatures 20 degrees above average for Sunday. Strong winds blew down many of the leaves over the weekend, and parts of the Northland are already past peak colors.

The hazardous outlook from the National Weather Service in Duluth says there's a chance for patch frost tonight across the region. The NWS is also warning that our first widespread freeze is possible across the Northland on Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

Temperatures will drop into the 30s near Lake Superior, and even colder inland, with overnight temperatures dropping into the 20s. Widespread frost is predicted Tuesday night into Wednesday morning across all of Northern Minnesota.
