This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of northeast
Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin.

.DAY ONE...This afternoon and Tonight

Widespread dense fog with visibility of one-quarter mile or less and
areas of freezing fog are expected to develop this evening and
persist through tonight. A combination of low visibility and slick
spots on untreated roadways from freezing fog could lead to
hazardous driving conditions.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

Widespread dense fog with visibility of one-quarter mile or less and

A series of two Colorado Lows are expected to move across the
Midwest mid to late next week. The first system has the potential
to bring rain, wintry mix, and snow to the Northland, causing the
potential for travel problems late Tuesday through early Thursday.
The second system Thursday night into Friday could bring
snow to northwest Wisconsin and potentially create travel problems
late this week. Watch for more updates on what these storms may
bring to the Northland.
