Duluth, Minnesota – A developing winter system could bring accumulating snow and wintry mix to the Northland Tuesday into Wednesday.
According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, two areas of low pressure are expected to move through the Midwest during that time frame, increasing the likelihood of widespread precipitation across northeastern Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin.
Forecasters say there is currently about a 60% chance of accumulating snow or a wintry mix across the region. Early forecast guidance suggests the heaviest snowfall could occur around Lake Superior, including parts of the Arrowhead and areas near Duluth.
The system is expected to organize Tuesday, with the heaviest precipitation most likely occurring during the day Tuesday before continuing into Wednesday in some areas.
However, meteorologists say several forecast details remain uncertain. Snow totals and the exact location of the heaviest accumulation may shift depending on the final track of the low-pressure systems.
Another key uncertainty involves the transition zone between snow and wintry mix, which could move north or south as the storm develops. Areas closer to that boundary may see changing precipitation types during the event.
If the system develops as currently projected, some travel impacts could be possible during the Tuesday commute, particularly where accumulating snow occurs.
Residents are encouraged to monitor updated forecasts as the system approaches and to stay aware of potential travel impacts early next week.
Students and commuters across the Northland may want to keep an eye on the Tuesday forecast as conditions could change quickly depending on the storm track.
