A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for portions of northern Minnesota for potential ice accumulations from a glaze to 0.20″. Most of the Advisory goes until 6am Wednesday morning.  Additional ice accumulations of a few hundredths up to around 0.20 inches are expected from northern Itasca County, through northern St. Louis County, and into the far northeast MN Arrowhead.   

A large area of low-pressure continues to spin in central Nebraska will continue lead to an additional precipitation in the Northland this evening and overnight.   The rest of the Northland will continue to see rain along with gusty winds.  In addition to the rain, northeast winds will continue with the strongest gusts up to 35 to 45 mph along and near the shores of Lake Superior and extending southwestward toward Brainerd.    

Wave heights on Lake Superior will continue to be some 10 to 12 ft.  Temperatures will gradually cool off some by the end of the week and into the weekend.  Our coldest day looks to by Sunday on New Years Eve with highs in the upper 20s.  This will go down as the warmest December on record and the 3^rd least snowy on record.
