Today’s Weather Summary for Northeast Minnesota and Northwest Wisconsin
Light snow made it farther north than what I was expecting 24 hours ago. The snow line basically ran from Longville to between Duluth and Two Harbors, most of the snow was very light and generally in the form of snow flurries, but there were a few brief heavier snow showers. Little if any accumulation occurred Today with the snow melting on contact. Sky conditions varied between mostly sunny north of the Iron Range to overcast south of the Range. High temperatures were in the 30s to around 40 degrees. Winds were out of the south or east at 5 to 15 mph.
