A low-pressure system moving east out of the western High Plains this weekend could affect the Northland in the Sunday-Monday time frame.
Temperatures continue to look warm enough for precipitation to mainly be in the form of rain in much of northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin Sunday and Sunday night with a chance that will see the rain mix with or change to some wet snow in parts of the Northland late Sunday night or on Monday, but at the moment this doesn’t look like a big snow event for our area.
NWS Blend of Models Total Precipitation through 6 PM Monday.
Note — Majority of this precipitation falls Sunday into Monday the way it looks now.

The highest chances for greater than 1″ of snow late this weekend/early next week is in far northern Minnesota into the Arrowhead with lower chances farther south including in the Twin Ports.
