Travel has quickly deteriorated around the South Shore and Head of Lake Superior this morning due to lake effect snow. Scattered snow showers stay in these areas through the morning and into the afternoon with a widespread dusting and 1-2″ possible locally. It’s a day where the high temperature was set overnight and temps fall through the day behind a cold front. Duluth observed a temp of 34° at midnight, and it will continue to tumble through the morning and hover around 20° for much of the day.

Skies will remain clear tonight and allow temperatures to fall into single digits and teens. After this cooler start to our Saturday, we’ll enter yet another stretch of unseasonable warmth with highs returning to upper 30s to mid-40s with the thermometer rising as you look west. It’ll otherwise be mostly sunny and breezy with a southwest wind around 15-20 mph. Lows stay comfortably in mid-20s to low 30s Saturday night.

A cold front dips into northern parts of the region on Sunday keeping a high near 30 for International Falls, but it’ll be warmer as you look south with us still topping off around 40 in the Twin Ports.

The Canadian border is grazed by light snow chances Sunday night into Monday morning, then Monday will be very warm with highs in the 50s for the majority of the Northland. We continue to monitor a potential system that would bring a mix of rain and snow to the region Tuesday into Wednesday. There is still disagreement in the storm track and timing, but some form of accumulating snow is possible with Tuesday night as the most likely timeframe for snow. Temps take a hit behind the system Wednesday, but we’ll end the week with yet another warm up for the start of March.
