Apr 29, 2024 06:56AM ● By Editor


AREAS AFFECTED : NORTHERN COOK/NORTHERN LAKE; SOUTHERN COOK/NORTH SHORE

* WHAT...Mixed precipitation. Additional snow accumulations of up 
to one inch and ice accumulations of around one tenth of an 
inch. Winds gusting as high as 45 mph. 
 
* WHERE...Northern Cook and Lake and Southern Cook Counties. 
This includes the Tribal Lands of the Grand Portage 
Reservation. 
 
* WHEN...Until 1 PM CDT this afternoon. 
 
* IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous 
conditions could impact the morning or evening commute. 
 
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The main concern is across the higher 
terrain of the North Shore. Not expecting ice accumulations on 
Highway 61 or locales adjacent to Lake Superior. The Gunflint 
Trail should be impacted though. Road temperatures may be warm 
enough to limit ice accumulations.
