Special Weather Statement issued January 15 at 5:53AM CST by NWS Duluth MN

Effective: Thu January 15, 2026, 5:53 AM
Expires: Thu January 15, 2026, 10:00 AM

Snow squalls are possible this morning as snow moves into the Northland. Affected locations may see rapidly changing weather and road conditions...with brief heavy snow and gusty winds. A quick snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches is possible with snowfall rates up to half an inch to one inch per hour at times. Be prepared for areas of blowing and drifting snow. This could lead to temporary whiteout conditions and the potential for dangerous driving conditions. If you are traveling and encounter adverse winter driving conditions...reduce speed and make sure headlights are on.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
