Isabella, Minn. – Snow will begin stacking up across Minnesota’s Arrowhead after midnight, setting up a slick Tuesday morning commute from the Boundary Waters to the North Shore.
According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, a Winter Weather Advisory takes effect at midnight and continues until 3 p.m. Tuesday for Northern Cook and Lake counties, including Isabella and the eastern and central Boundary Waters. Snow totals of 3 to 5 inches are expected, with periods of heavier snowfall at times.
Southern Lake County, including Silver Bay and Two Harbors, is also under an advisory for 2 to 4 inches through Tuesday afternoon. While snowfall rates may briefly intensify, forecasters note the snow will be less dense than last week’s system.
