Friday Evening Northland Forecast: 6/6/2025

A Half Dry Weekend

After getting almost a half inch of rain earlier today (Friday), the skies are clearing out now, and any smoke that came in overnight is about to head off to the northeast, too. We have an air quality alert til 7oo pm today, for most of northeast Minnesota, but that problem is going to evaporate quickly, as cool, dry and clean air moves in from the northwest. Just in time for Saturday morning.

As I’ve been telling people, if you plan to mow your lawn this weekend, I would do it on Saturday (and I will!), because we are going to have moisture moving our way both from the south, and from the northwest late on Saturday. So, get your outdoor chores done before late in the day on Saturday, when we will have a high about 75 degrees. From late Saturday night thru all of Sunday, it looks pretty wet, with a good chance for rain that entire time. If fact, our rain chances go all the way thru most of Monday, too. Sunshine will finally come back on Tuesday. Our high on Sunday will only be in the mid 60s…ditto for Monday.  Tuesday and Wednesday will be dry, with highs back up to the mid 70s.

So, get your chores done Saturday, and Sunday will be your day (and mine) for sitting in a comfy chair, fixing some snacks, and watching baseball. Enjoy your weekend!
