Warmer air is moving east into the Northland this afternoon which is causing an area of light snow showers and flurries. Snowfall accumulations should remain less than 1″ late this afternoon/early this evening.

Still looking at a decent warm up which is forecast to begin later this week, possibly carrying over into Christmas the way it looks now. Could have daytime highs at or above the freezing mark in the Northland on a few days ~December 21-25.
