[anvplayer video=”5155515″ station=”998130″]
Tonight will be calm with a west wind becoming northeast after midnight. Portions of Pine, Burnett, Washburn, and Sawyer Counties may see light snow overnight, but we stay mostly dry until Tuesday morning.
Snow will move in from the south starting at around 11 am Tuesday. It will reach the head of the lake at around 3 pm. Most of this round of snow will stay south of Aitkin county as the Minneapolis area will receive much more accumulation than the Northland.
Areas north of the Iron Range will stay dry. The Twin Ports will likely have around four inches of snow, and areas south will be in the 3-6” range. Locally higher amounts are possible, especially in Bayfield and Ashland Counties as well as the area stretching from Brainerd to Siren.
This will be wet, heavy snow with the strongest snow bands occurring in the late afternoon to early evening hours on Tuesday. Snowfall will become lighter Tuesday night but linger through Wednesday.
