Duluth, MN – Residents across northeastern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin should prepare for a colder stretch of November weather, with light rain, possible South Shore snowfall and temperatures dropping into the 20s as the week progresses.
According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, a combination of light precipitation and cooler air will affect the Northland beginning Wednesday, November 11, before gradually improving conditions arrive toward the weekend.
The forecast includes light rain across portions of the region, while areas along Lake Superior's South Shore in northern Wisconsin could experience snow.
Wednesday temperatures around Duluth are expected to begin in the lower 40s before fluctuating through the 30s as cooler air moves into the area.
Rain chances remain relatively limited, with the forecast graphic showing probabilities generally below 20% through much of Wednesday.
Winds could also become noticeable during the afternoon, with maximum gusts approaching 18 mph.
By Thursday, November 12, colder temperatures will become more established, with readings falling into the upper 20s during the morning before recovering into the 30s.
The greatest potential for snow is expected along Wisconsin's South Shore, where colder conditions near Lake Superior could support wintry precipitation.
However, the National Weather Service has not specified snowfall accumulation totals in the supplied forecast.
Friday, November 13, could bring another chilly morning, with temperatures around Duluth falling into the lower 20s before recovering into the middle 30s.
Precipitation chances are expected to decrease significantly by Friday, with a mixture of clouds and sunshine continuing into Saturday.
Residents traveling along Lake Superior's South Shore should monitor local conditions, particularly where rain could transition to snow.
Although widespread significant snowfall is not indicated, colder mornings may produce frost or isolated slick surfaces where moisture remains.
