This has definitely been a difficult forecast over the last few days in regard to today’s (Tuesday) upcoming snow event, but it finally appears that the computer models have settled in on a solution so now will just wait and see how today plays out.
-Winter Storm Warning now covers all of northwest Wisconsin through Midnight tonight.
-Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for the Arrowhead of Minnesota, and also for Pine County in eastern Minnesota including the Hinckley, Pine City and Bruno areas.
-Expect snow covered and slippery roads by this afternoon in northwest Wisconsin, and also in far northeast into far eastern Minnesota.
-Reduced visibility in snow.
-Gusty west to northwest winds develop later today and will continue through Wednesday with wind gusts of 25 to 40 mph with the strongest winds arriving tonight and during the day Wednesday. Areas of blowing snow are likely to develop in areas that see new snow today.
I did make some more changes to my snowfall forecast.
*Duluth: 1 to 3 inches of snow.
*Up to 5 inches of snow in the Arrowhead of Minnesota, far eastern Minnesota, and also for much of far northwest Wisconsin.
Highest snow amounts remain over portions of northwest Wisconsin with a swath of 5 to 9 inches of snow, with more than 9 inches of snow possible in the snowbelt region of Ashland and Iron County from around Butternut to Hurley and Gile.
Snow is forecast to begin in the Duluth area between 7 AM and 9 AM this morning with snow coming to an end between 4 PM and 6 PM this evening.
There will be a very sharp western edge in today’s snow, so if this system nudges ever so slightly to the east, then we probably won’t see a whole lot of snow in Duluth today.
Also, with such a sharp gradient in the snow, there is a possibility that will see heavier snow bands setup especially in parts of northwest Wisconsin where snowfall rates could approach 1″/hour later this morning through this afternoon.
06z NAM 3km model radar forecast valid 6 AM Tuesday to Midnight Tuesday night.
