Duluth, MN – Light accumulating snow is expected across northern Minnesota this weekend as rain transitions to snow Saturday evening into Sunday morning. The snowfall is forecast to be minor but could impact travel conditions, especially in areas experiencing wet roads before temperatures drop.
According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, the best chances for snowfall accumulation of one inch or more range between 20-40%, particularly across north-central Minnesota. Higher elevations and areas where the system shifts eastward could see slightly increased totals. While snowfall amounts remain uncertain, residents should stay updated as the forecast evolves.
The precipitation will begin as rain on Saturday afternoon before colder air moves in, allowing a transition to snow. Mixed precipitation is possible in some areas, leading to slick roads, especially in early morning and late-night hours. Motorists should use caution, particularly in rural areas where untreated roads could become icy.
Temperatures will hover near freezing, making snowfall accumulation difficult in some locations. However, areas with persistent snowfall could see a few inches by early Sunday. While this system is not expected to bring heavy snow, minor travel disruptions could occur.
The National Weather Service advises residents to monitor updates and be prepared for changing conditions. Stay informed on potential adjustments to snowfall projections and any advisories issued for specific regions.
