Thursday was the coldest day of the month so far across the Northland, with highs in the 30s, including 37 in Ashland and 36 in Duluth.
Lake-effect snow showers will continue Thursday night and Friday along the South Shore of Lake Superior, from northern Wisconsin into upper Michigan. Forecasts call for about an inch or less through Friday afternoon in northern Wisconsin east of Ashland, while parts of western Upper Michigan could receive an additional 1 to 2 inches.
The rest of northeast Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin is expected to stay mostly dry through Friday.
Highs on Friday are expected to be similar to Thursday, again in the 30s, before moderating over the weekend. The milder pattern is expected to continue into next week, with highs in the 40s and 50s across the Northland.
Duluth has still not recorded its first measurable snowfall of the season. The latest first measurable snow on record there was Nov. 26, 2004, and the chance of reaching that date is increasing, though no measurable snow is expected at least through Nov. 20.
