DULUTH, MN (KDAL) – After nearly six inches of snow in Duluth on Tuesday, the National Weather Service Office is watching another system that could bring more accumulating snow on Thursday across northeast Minnesota.
A strong area of low pressure will develop out of Colorado and heads in this direction.
There is the potential for a swath of accumulations between 6 to 9 inches from the Brainerd Lakes region towards Duluth and into the Minnesota Arrowhead.
Forecasters say some uncertainty remains on the southern edge of the forecast area since there will be a transition to a wintry mix or all rain the further southeast you go.
Some sleet or freezing rain may mix in with the snow at times in the transition zone.
A Winter Storm Warning has been issued for southern St. Louis County, Aiken and Carlton Counties in Minnesota and Douglas County in Wisconsin on Thursday. Areas to the north, south and east are under a Winter Weather Advisory.
The 5.8 inches of snow that fell at the Duluth Airport on Tuesday set a record for October 20th.
