Sabrina Ullman: Chance of light snow Monday
Tonight will be cloudy with overnight lows in the teens to low 20s. Temperatures stay chilly Monday with highs in the low 30s.
A quick clipper will bring the first chance of widespread measurable snow of the season. The system will move in from west to east, beginning midday Monday. We will have light snow in the afternoon to early evening and then could see some more moderate snowfall in the overnight hours into Tuesday morning.
Most of the Northland will see a dusting on grassy areas. Some snow could stick to roads early Tuesday, making for a slick morning commute.
St. Louis, Lake, Cook, Carlton, and Douglas Counties will have the least amount of snow, with under an inch expected. We could see around an inch for portions of Koochiching, Itasca, and Cass Counties as well as Burnett, Washburn, Sawyer, Bayfield, and Price Counties.
Lake of the Woods and the northern portion of Koochiching County may see 1-2 inches. With lake-effect causing snow to linger into Tuesday afternoon, portions of Ashland, Iron, and the U.P. are looking closer to the 2-3″ range.
Any falling snow should be done in time for trick-or-treating. Temperatures Tuesday evening will be chilly with wind chill values in the teens.
