Scattered light snow showers will pass through the Northland from west to east Tuesday night as part of a clipper system. Winds remain light as they shift from southwest to northwest. Low temperatures will cool to the single digits and low teens. A high-pressure system will bring back the sunshine to the Northland Wednesday with partly cloudy skies by the afternoon. Winds will become breezy from the northwest, helping to keep temperatures in the teens for highs early in the day before cooling. Feel like temperatures will be below zero all day.

A few flurries will fly over the Northland Monday night, but most of us will be dry with mostly cloudy skies. Winds remain light from the southwest with low temperatures in the upper single digits and lower half of the teens. A clipper system will bring scattered light snow showers into the Northland by Tuesday afternoon. Otherwise it will be mostly cloudy skies with a light breeze from the southwest continuing.

Some breaks in the cloud cover will try to form over the Northland Sunday night, but skies will remain mostly cloudy. That and light winds won't stop temperatures from reaching the single digits for lows. It will feel at times below zero. Monday and the start of December and meteorological fall will see a mix of sunshine and clouds across the Northland. A light breeze from the southwest will form, but it won't help make it feel warmer than the teen and low 20s for highs.

It isn't often that we get #snow #squall #warnings issued in the #northland, but that is the case this afternoon.

The biggest concern for a brief shot of heavy #snowfall will be along Highway 35 around the Douglas/Burnett county line.

A Snow Squall Warning is in effect through 4 p.m. on Thursday, November 27, 2025, for eastern Pine County, and northeast Burnett County. A brief burst of heavy snowfall will reduce visibility and make roads difficult to travel on where it passes through.

My updated snowfall map shows the highest totals of over 24 inches for the South Shore snowbelt region and the Upper Peninsula. Some spots may be nearing 36 inches by Thursday afternoon. The rest of the South Shore will see 12 to 24 inches, the Twin Ports and Arrowhead regions will see 6 to 12 inches, the interior portions of northwest Wisconsin and the I-35 corridor will see 4 to 10 inches, the Iron Range will see 3 to 6 inches, with the Rainy River Basin likely staying under 2 inches of new snowfall. The worst of the winter storm conditions will be coming across the Northland Tuesday evening and Tuesday night. A strengthening low-pressure system will provide the ingredients necessary for heavy snowfall rates over 1-inch per hour in spots. Some spots along the southern shoreline of Lake Superior may even surpass 2-inches per hour. Wind speeds will also be a big concern for this storm system over Tuesday evening through Wednesday morning. Gusts of 30 to 40+ mph are likely across the entire Northland, coming from the northeast and north. As the storm system continues to move east Wednesday, snow showers will move out of the region from west to east. They will be mostly out of the area by Wednesday evening, but lake effect snow bands will continue along the South Shore and Upper Peninsula regions through Wednesday night.

A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for Aitkin, Ashland, Bayfield, Carlton, Cook, Douglas, Iron, Itasca, Lake, Pine, and St. Louis counties. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for Burnett, Koochiching, Sawyer, and Washburn counties. Gogebic and Ontonagon counties will likely be upgraded from a Winter Storm Watch to a Winter Storm Warning at some point before Tuesday afternoon. When all the snow has fallen over the next three days, the highest snowfall totals will be along the South Shore snowbelt and Upper Peninsula regions with 18+ inches likely. The rest of the South Shore, particularly the Bayfield Peninsula, will see 12 to 18 inches. The Arrowhead, Twin Ports, and parts of northwest Wisconsin next to the South Shore will see 6 to 12 inches, with points next to Lake Superior seeing the lower end of these forecast totals. The Iron Range, I-35 Corridor, and southern portions of northwest Wisconsin will see 4 to 8 inches, with the Rainy River Basin seeing 1 to 3 inches of snowfall. What will begin as a mix of rain and snow showers Tuesday morning across the Northland will change over to all snow by Tuesday evening as temperatures cool from the 30s to the 20s. The worst of the winter conditions for the Northland will be Tuesday evening and overnight. This is when winds will be strong coming off Lake Superior and snowfall rates will be at their highest intensity. Some spots could see over 1" of snowfall per hour. Wind speeds will be increasing coming off Lake Superior from the east Tuesday morning, then shifting to the northeast by Tuesday evening. Gusts over 30 mph are likely from the north Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. They will be slowly decreasing in strength Wednesday afternoon and Wednesday night as snow showers move out of the region from west to east. These wind directions will allow lake effect snow showers to form along the South Shore, which will persist through Wednesday and Thursday morning in spots.
