Duluth, MN – Snow continues across the Northland this evening as a winter system tracks south, bringing accumulating snow through early Sunday and prompting a Winter Weather Advisory for several northern counties.

According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, 2–4 inches of snow are forecast for northwest Wisconsin and 1–3 inches from Two Harbors to east-central Minnesota. Along the South Shore of Lake Superior, enhanced lake-effect bands could lead to 3–6 inches, with localized totals over 6 inches possible in parts of Ashland and Bayfield Counties.

Forecasters warn that narrow, intense snow bands could produce rates up to 1 inch per hour, reducing visibility and creating difficult travel conditions Saturday night into early Sunday. Roads are expected to remain snow-covered and slick, especially in rural areas and higher terrain.

The Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for Douglas, Ashland, Bayfield, Iron, and Price Counties through 6 a.m. Sunday. Drivers are advised to slow down, allow extra time for travel, and monitor updated forecasts as conditions evolve overnight.
