...ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL BRING SNOW AND LAKE EFFECT SNOW TONIGHT
INTO THURSDAY...
.An Arctic cold front will pass through the Northland tonight.
Snow continued to progress south this evening into northwest
Wisconsin but was starting to diminish over far northern Minnesota.
This will be the coldest air yet seen this season. The large
lakes across the region are still relatively warm, including Lake
Superior, Lake of the Woods, Rainy Lake, and Lake Kabetogama. The
dramatic temperature differences between the lakes and Arctic air
is expected to result in significant snow enhancement and lake
effect snow showers downwind of these lakes through the night and
into Thursday. The heaviest snowfall, up to around 10 inches, is
expected downwind of Lake Superior along and near the higher
terrain of the Gogebic Range in Iron County in Wisconsin. Other
parts of northern Wisconsin near Lake Superior, and parts of
north-central Minnesota near the Canadian border, could get up to
several inches of snow. Expect periods of difficult travel
conditions with this snow.

THURSDAY...
* WHAT...Snow and lake effect snow expected. Plan on slippery
road conditions, including during the evening commute. Total

those areas.
