Duluth, MN – An early-week winter clipper is expected to bring accumulating snow across northeastern Minnesota and parts of northwest Wisconsin starting Monday evening, with impacts continuing through Tuesday evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, snowfall will begin Monday night and taper off by Tuesday evening. The highest chances for at least 2 inches of snow are along and east of U.S. Highway 53 in Minnesota and east of U.S. 53 into northwest Wisconsin. Forecasters say there is a 60–80% chance that areas along the North Shore and nearby inland communities could see 4 inches or more.
Portions of the North Shore and higher terrain in Cook County could receive more than 6 inches of snow. A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for Cook County, where heavier bands are possible depending on the track of the system.
Communities including Duluth in St. Louis County, as well as Grand Marais in Cook County, may experience slippery roads and reduced visibility during the Tuesday morning and evening commutes. Drivers along Highway 61 and other elevated or untreated roadways should plan for changing travel conditions.
The system is expected to move through relatively quickly, but even moderate snowfall rates could create travel slowdowns. Residents are encouraged to monitor updated forecasts and road conditions before heading out.
