The Duluth office of the National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory ahead of what is anticipated to be the season's first storm from noon Thursday, Nov. 11 ro noon Friday, Nov. 12.
Slush and slippery roads could impair commutes Thursday evening and Friday morning. With daytime high temperatures, the snow could be melted and compacted. Surface temperatures above freezing may inhibit accumulations.
Cass County may receive 3-4 inches of snowfall, though accumulation will likely be less due to the warm temperatures. There may be 1-2 inches over areas of Crow Wing County, however, it has not been included in the current weather advisory.
