Duluth, MN – A cold front sweeping through Minnesota is bringing light to moderate snow to the Arrowhead region and parts of northwest Wisconsin, potentially impacting travel through Sunday night.
According to the US National Weather Service Duluth, snow showers will develop today across far northern Minnesota and northeast into Wisconsin, with visibility dropping quickly during heavier bursts. While much of the region will see a dusting to 1 inch, snowfall totals could reach 4 inches in the snow belts of Ashland and Iron Counties.
Light rain may precede the snow, especially in northwest Wisconsin, as temperatures today range from 36°F to 54°F, with the coolest air locked over northern Minnesota. Monday and Tuesday are expected to be drier and calmer, with highs reaching 38°F in the Arrowhead and near 45°F in southern parts of the region.
Drivers are advised to exercise caution, especially in areas where snow bands may intensify throughout the evening. Visibility could quickly deteriorate, and untreated roads may become slick. The weather service recommends allowing extra travel time and checking local advisories.
A brief warm-up is expected midweek, with a chance for light rain Wednesday across much of the state, excluding far northern Minnesota.
