Duluth, MN – A slow-moving clipper system is expected to bring widespread accumulating snow to northern Minnesota from Saturday night through Monday morning, potentially impacting travel across the Northland. Forecasters warn that snowfall totals could exceed four inches in some areas, with a mix of rain and snow affecting accumulation levels.
According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, the system will bring its heaviest precipitation late Saturday night into Sunday, particularly along the North Shore. While snow is expected to be the primary form of precipitation, some rain may mix in, especially in southern parts of the affected region, which could limit snowfall totals.
Uncertainty remains in the storm’s exact track and temperature variations, which may influence snowfall amounts. If temperatures are slightly warmer than expected, more rain could mix in, reducing snow accumulation. Conversely, colder air could result in heavier snowfall totals.
Residents are advised to monitor weather updates and prepare for possible travel impacts. Breezy winds from the northwest will accompany the system, potentially reducing visibility on roadways. The storm is expected to taper off Monday morning, with mostly cloudy conditions lingering into the afternoon.
Travelers should exercise caution and check local forecasts for updates on road conditions and snowfall amounts as the storm progresses.
