Brandon Weatherz: Warming up with a few rounds of precip

We have a couple of rounds of precipitation to track in the days ahead. Our Tuesday features a round of snow sweeping the Northland through the morning with slick travel possible in northern communities. The chance of an inch or more stays north of the Iron Range. Sleet is possible in the Twin Ports and along the South Shore.

The next widespread chance of precip begins as a mixed bag Thursday morning, then transitions to snow Thursday evening and night. Accumulation is expected to be less than an inch for the Twin Ports and across northwest Wisconsin with an inch or more possible for much of northeast Minnesota. After that, a chance of light snow arrives Saturday afternoon and overnight. As of now, next Monday into Tuesday brings the potential for widespread accumulating snow.

Apart from these rounds of precip chances, our weather will be generally cloudy and much milder. Temps return to 20s today and 30s tomorrow. Both highs and lows will be on the warm side of normal through the start of next week.
