REGION TOWARDS DULUTH. SOME UNCERTAINTY REMAINS ON THE SOUTHERN
EDGE OF THE FORECAST SNOWFALL SWATH AS THERE WILL BE A TRANSITION
TO A WINTRY MIX OR ALL RAIN THE FURTHER SOUTHEAST YOU GO, SO

SNOWFALL. SOME SLEET OR FREEZING RAIN MAY MIX IN WITH THE SNOW AT
TIMES AT THIS TRANSITION ZONE.

ALONG THE SHORELINE OF LAKE SUPERIOR AS THE LAKE IS STILL RATHER
