URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE...UPDATED
National Weather Service Duluth MN
630 PM CDT Sun Apr 30 2017
...LATE WINTER STORM WILL BRING SIGNIFICANT SNOW ACCUMULATION TO
PORTIONS OF THE NORTHLAND...
.A late-season winter storm will affect the Northland starting
late tonight and continuing through Monday evening. An area of
low pressure over northeast Kansas this afternoon will advance
northeastward to southern Ontario by Tuesday morning. Rain will
mix with and eventually change to snow for portions of central
Minnesota tonight and in northeast Minnesota late tonight or
Monday morning. Snow rates of 1 inch per hour are likely from
near Aitkin and Grand Rapids, to the Iron Range, and interior
portions of the Arrowhead late tonight through Monday morning.
The Monday morning commute will be slow for some Northlanders due
to snow accumulation on roads and visibility less than one-half
mile. As temperatures warm slightly during the day, snow
accumulation will slow down as melting and compaction take on a
more prominent role. Precipitation may change back to rain as the
rates diminish during the late morning into the afternoon.
