Duluth, MN – Scattered snow showers and snow squalls are expected across northern Minnesota on Tuesday afternoon and evening, potentially creating hazardous travel conditions. Forecasters predict a 30-40% chance of snow squalls, which could cause sudden visibility drops to ¼ mile or less.

According to the National Weather Service in Duluth, the best chance for snow squalls will occur between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Tuesday. These short-lived yet intense snow bursts may result in treacherous road conditions, increasing the risk of chain-reaction vehicle accidents.

Snow squalls often develop quickly and can rapidly reduce visibility. Drivers are urged to stay alert, reduce speeds, and prepare for sudden changes in weather conditions. Officials advise postponing non-essential travel during these hours if possible.

The Arrowhead region is expected to see a lull in snowfall during the late morning before snow squalls intensify later in the day. For real-time updates and safety information, residents should monitor local forecasts and heed alerts from the National Weather Service.

Drivers traveling in the region are reminded to ensure their vehicles are equipped for winter weather and to use extreme caution on the roads.
