Winter Storm Warning
URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Duluth MN 337 PM CDT Wed Oct 21 2020 ...ANOTHER ROUND OF ACCUMULATING SNOW EXPECTED THURSDAY... .Another round of accumulating snow is developing over the plains to produce more heavy snow for Thursday. A strong area of low pressure will develop out of Colorado, leading to the increased chances of accumulating snow. There is the potential for a swath of accumulations between 5 to 7 inches from the Brainerd Lakes region towards Duluth. Some uncertainty remains on the southern edge of the forecast snowfall swath as there will be a transition to a wintry mix or all rain the further southeast you go, so there is the potential for a shift in the location of the heavier snowfall. Some sleet or freezing rain may mix in with the snow at times at this transition zone. Additionally, there may be relatively little snow accumulations along the shoreline of Lake Superior as the lake is still rather warm, so there may be a tight gradient in snowfall amounts along the North Shore to the higher elevations.
