Here’s my snowfall forecast for Wednesday evening-Thursday
Thursday morning commute could be impacted by the snow with slippery road conditions possible.
Expecting widespread 1 to around 3 inches of snow across the Northland by Thursday afternoon with potential for 3 to 5 inches of snow along portions of the North Shore due to some lake enhanced snowfall.

Here’s the latest on the potential storm for this weekend
Euro remains the farthest north with the storm track, although they have shifted it farther south compared to 24 hours ago.
GFS/GEFS models remain the farthest southeast with the storm track.
My map shows the two tracks this storm could take.
The black line (storm track) would bring accumulating snow to parts of the Northland this weekend.
The white line (storm track) would keep the snow farther south of our area, meaning this weekend would be mainly dry across the Northland.
Timing of possible impacts would be from Saturday afternoon through Sunday with precipitation in the form of snow, but a mixture of precipitation can’t be ruled out with mild temps in place this weekend.
Note: It’s still way too early to be throwing out potential snow amounts for this weekend, especially considering the fact that this system has yet to move onshore in the western U.S.; plus the computer models continue to be in disagreement on the track of the low once it moves into the central Plains. I’m simply giving people a heads up for a potential storm that could impact portions of the upper Midwest and Great Lakes this weekend, doesn’t mean it’s going to happen, but the chance is there!
Stay tuned!
