Duluth, Minnesota – A developing midweek storm could bring accumulating snow to parts of the Northland starting Monday evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, a weather pattern shift is expected to bring a clipper system into the region Monday night, tracking toward the lower Great Lakes through Wednesday. Forecasters say surface temperatures near or slightly above freezing may cause some precipitation to begin as rain or a mix before changing to snow.
Current projections show the highest snowfall potential along the Lake Superior shoreline, especially south of Silver Bay. Probability maps released Sunday show Duluth with about an 80% chance of receiving at least 2 inches of snow between 6 p.m. Monday and 6 p.m. Wednesday. Nearby areas such as Two Harbors and Superior also show probabilities above 70%.
The chance of 4 inches or more is lower but still possible in some locations, with probabilities near 38% in Duluth and higher chances along parts of the South Shore in Wisconsin.
Forecasters say the storm track has shifted slightly south in recent model runs, which could increase snow potential south of the Iron Range. However, snowfall totals remain uncertain because temperatures hovering near freezing could produce mixed precipitation at times.
A second system may follow later in the week. The National Weather Service says a stronger clipper could move through Thursday afternoon into early Friday, potentially bringing another round of snow, though confidence in that storm’s exact track remains low.
Travel conditions may change quickly during periods of heavier snowfall, particularly along the Lake Superior corridor used by commuters, students, and regional freight traffic.
