Duluth, Minnesota — Snowfall is gradually tapering across northeastern Minnesota as a departing storm system continues producing light to moderate snow across parts of the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, the heaviest remaining snow early Friday was concentrated over the far northeastern tip of Minnesota’s Arrowhead region. Another band of snow extended from Crane Lake south toward areas north of Hibbing, where radar indicated steady snowfall continuing during the morning hours.
Forecasters said wrap-around moisture from the departing storm is still producing widespread snow across portions of the Northland. In many areas, snowfall rates have been estimated at around one-half inch to three-quarters of an inch per hour, though intensity varies depending on location.
Radar imagery around 8:05 a.m. Friday showed the broader snow shield stretching across St. Louis County and neighboring areas, including communities near Duluth, Two Harbors, and inland areas of northeastern Minnesota.
Meanwhile, western counties were seeing lighter snowfall as conditions slowly improved. The National Weather Service said snow in those areas is lingering but gradually diminishing as the system continues to move east.
Drivers across the region may still encounter snow-covered roads and reduced visibility, particularly in areas closer to the Arrowhead where snowfall remains more persistent.
For commuters, students, and early-morning travelers across the Duluth region, lingering snowfall could still affect road conditions during the morning hours.
Forecasters expect snow to continue tapering from west to east through the day as the storm weakens and exits the region.
