[anvplayer video=”5170296″ station=”998130″]
Our Thursday begins with clear skies, but we will soon see clouds increase followed by a return of precipitation chances. Afternoon highs will be in the upper thirties.
Snow will enter the Northland from the south this afternoon, reaching the Twin Ports by 7 pm. The Iron Range and areas south are all under a Winter Weather Advisory from 7 pm tonight until tomorrow morning. Expected accumulations for this round will be mostly 1-3 inches, with less close to the international border as well as south of Hayward.
We will have a slight break midday Friday before round two moves in Friday afternoon. This round of snow will mostly only impact areas south of Highway-2, but we will see more accumulation for northern Wisconsin than in tonight’s round.
Accumulations Friday night to Saturday will be under three inches west of the Twin Ports. Areas close to the head of the lake will be in the 3-6” range, while the rest of northern Wisconsin will likely have over half a foot. A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for portions of the Northland, in effect from 7 pm Friday night until 7 am Saturday morning.
Mixed precipitation is likely Sunday night. There is potential for a winter storm Tuesday-Wednesday that the Storm Track Weather Team is monitoring closely. Stay tuned for updates as that gets closer.
