/Issued 12:38 PM CST, Saturday, December 28, 2013/
-Dangerously low wind chills move into parts of the Northland later This Evening.
-Here’s my final snowfall accumulation map for Today and Tonight. The highest amounts should be over Northwest Wisconsin along the South Shore (3-6″+) Probably 1-3″ along the Borderland, Arrowhead, and over most of the Iron Range. Elsewhere I’m expecting snow totals to stay under 2″.
Note: Winter weather and wind chill headlines are in effect for much of the Northland, details below. Source, National Weather Service Duluth, Minnesota.
