Duluth, MN – A late-winter storm is set to bring accumulating snow to the Northland beginning Tuesday night, with impacts possible through Thursday evening across Duluth, St. Louis County, and surrounding parts of northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin.
According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, snow is expected to develop after 6 p.m. Tuesday and continue at times through 6 p.m. Thursday. Forecasters have outlined growing probabilities for both 2-inch and 6-inch totals across the region.
Much of the North Shore, including Grand Marais and Silver Bay, shows a high likelihood — in some areas above 80% — of receiving at least 2 inches of snow. The probability of 6 inches or more is also elevated along the shore and into portions of the Arrowhead, while Duluth and Superior show moderate chances for higher totals.
Communities including Hibbing, Virginia, Ely, Two Harbors, and Grand Rapids could also see plowable snowfall, with travel conditions potentially deteriorating during peak commute windows Wednesday and early Thursday.
Drivers along U.S. Highway 61, Interstate 35 near Duluth, and Highway 53 across the Iron Range should prepare for reduced visibility and snow-covered roads. Lake-enhanced snowfall may increase totals near the shoreline.
The system’s exact track will determine where the heaviest band sets up, and totals could shift as updated forecasts are issued.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updated briefings from the National Weather Service Duluth office and prepare for slower travel midweek.
