Superior, WI – Colder weather is settling across northern Wisconsin and northeastern Minnesota Wednesday evening, November 11, with lake effect snow expected along Lake Superior's South Shore through Friday as overnight temperatures drop below freezing.
According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, Minnesota, its latest forecast indicates light lake effect snowfall will affect portions of northern Wisconsin while most other locations experience mainly dry conditions through the weekend.
Temperatures Wednesday night are expected to fall between 24 and 31 degrees across the forecast region , bringing freezing conditions to many communities.
Lake effect snow showers are expected along Lake Superior's South Shore, particularly in northern Wisconsin communities where cold air moving across the relatively warmer lake can produce localized snowfall.
Forecasters expect light snow accumulations, although specific snowfall totals were not provided in the latest weather graphic.
Scattered flurries and occasional sprinkles may occur elsewhere Wednesday night.
Thursday, November 12, will remain chilly , with afternoon temperatures ranging from approximately 31 to 37 degrees.
Overnight temperatures Thursday night could fall between 17 and 28 degrees, making for a particularly cold start Friday morning.
Friday's highs are forecast between 31 and 38 degrees, with lake effect snow continuing in portions of the South Shore before conditions gradually improve.
Drivers traveling through northern Wisconsin should remain alert for changing visibility and potentially slippery road conditions where snow showers develop.
By Saturday, temperatures are expected to rebound slightly, with highs between 36 and 41 degrees under partly cloudy skies.
Sunday brings additional improvement, with highs reaching approximately 38 to 43 degrees.
The National Weather Service expects mainly dry weather outside the lake effect snow areas.
Residents should monitor updated forecasts for localized snowfall changes, particularly along Lake Superior's South Shore, where lake effect snow can vary considerably over short distances.
