The episode as NWS DLH wrote it up.
An area of low pressure moved from the Central Plains to the western Great Lakes the 3rd into the 4th quickly after the previous system. This low tracked more to the south from southern Minnesota into northern Wisconsin. This storm track resulted in heavier snowfall across northern Minnesota and areas of freezing rain across northwest Wisconsin. Ice accumulations across parts of northwest Wisconsin reached into the 0.25 to 0.30 range with a high report of 0.35 in Spooner.
The local office's own words before the first event, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Duluth, MN wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Apr 3, 6:11 PM CST, 1 hour 49 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Duluth MN
711 PM CDT Fri Apr 3 2026
.KEY MESSAGES...
- A winter storm will bring a mix of rain, freezing rain, sleet,
and snow to the Northland tonight and Saturday.
- An area of heavy snow will be located across north-central
Minnesota tonight through noon Saturday.
- A quarter to a half inch of ice accumulation is expected
across northwest Wisconsin tonight into Saturday morning.
- Snow squalls are possible with the next clipper Sunday into
Monday.

.UPDATE...
Issued at 711 PM CDT Fri Apr 3 2026
Initial band of precipitation was located from near Remer in
northeast Cass County to Duluth to Mercer. KDLH WSR-88D dual-pol
products and surface observations reveal sleet to be the
primary precip type with this initial wave. The band was moving
east- northeast at about 35 mph and precipitation should not
last more than an hour as the band passes.
Still expect precipitation to become more widespread later
tonight. Surface low was centered south of Des Moines along the
Missouri border as of 6 PM. Regional radar mosaic and GOES-East
imagery reveal a broad area of convection over southern
Minnesota, southern and central Wisconsin, into portions of Iowa
and Illinois while an area of snow was noted over the eastern
Dakotas. The 03.12Z and 03.18Z models seem to be handling the
relative lack of moisture between the precipitation areas
relatively well. Water vapor imagery reveals rapid northward
mass transport over eastern South Dakota. It appears isentropic
ascent and large scale omega will lead to additional cloud and
precipitation development over western and central Minnesota
before 04.03Z. Forecast remains largely on track though we will
be keeping an eye on trends in case the thunderstorms over the
Mississippi River Valley displace the poleward moisture stream
and latent heat release shunts the low pressure system farther
east instead of north.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 107 PM CDT Fri Apr 3 2026
For the rest of the day, the first wave of precipitation along
a warm front is moving northeast across Minnesota. However,
radar trends and surface observations show that not much is
hitting the ground, with only a few stations reporting drizzle.
Little precipitation is expected to reach the ground from this
initial wave this afternoon. The onset of precipitation has
slowed slightly for northeast Minnesota, so all winter weather
headlines have been delayed to 7 PM this evening. Soundings from
the high resolution models show that a warm nose from southerly
flow aloft will lead to mixed precipitation later this evening,
especially to our southeast. The Twin Ports will primarily see
ice pellets mixed with snow as the warm nose is not quite as
prominent there, leaving plenty of subfreezing air below it to
refreeze any melted precipitation. The warm nose will be much
stronger over northwest Wisconsin with less subfreezing air
below it, which will lead to more freezing rain and significant
ice accumulation. A quarter to a half inch of ice is expected to
fall across northwest Wisconsin tonight into Saturday.
A short time after the wintry mix starts this evening, we are
expecting snow across northeast Minnesota. A TROWAL in north
central Minnesota will have strong upper level forcing, strong
lift through the dendritic growth zone, and plenty of moisture
to support heavy snow. This will be particularly intense
overnight tonight through noon Saturday. The TROWAL will begin
to move off to the northeast into Canada by Saturday afternoon,
but light snow will linger across the region through the rest of
the day and into the evening hours.
As the low pressure system exits the region Saturday night,
cold air wrapping in from the northwest and moving over Lake
Superior will lead to lake enhanced snow showers across northern
Iron and Ashland counties. For the rest of the Northland, snow
will come to an end from west to east Saturday night, leaving a
brief window of dry and quiet weather for the first half of
Sunday. High temperatures will rebound into the upper 30s to
middle 40s.
This break will be short lived as a clipper system dives
southeast across the area from Sunday afternoon through Monday
afternoon. This will bring additional light snow to the region,
generally totaling around two inches or less. Breezy northwest
winds and steep low level lapse rates could support isolated
snow squalls Sunday afternoon and again Monday afternoon.
Temperatures on Monday will be cooler in the wake of the
clipper, with highs struggling to reach the middle 30s and
overnight lows flirting with zero Monday night.
High pressure builds into the area for Tuesday, offering mostly
sunny skies and a dry day. After the chilly morning,
temperatures will quickly warm into the upper 30s and lower 40s.
The active pattern resumes Tuesday night into Wednesday as
another system approaches from the north. This will bring
chances for rain and snow showers through Thursday. Highs will
warm into the 40s and 50s by Wednesday as winds shift to the
south and east, before cooling slightly on Thursday as
precipitation chances continue.

.AVIATION /00Z TAFS THROUGH 00Z SUNDAY/...
Issued at 711 PM CDT Fri Apr 3 2026
Initial band of sleet will move northward and affect KDLH and
HIB before 04.02Z. Precip should last about an hour at each
site. Still expect to see widespread snow develop over the
Minnesota terminals later this evening and a freezing rain/sleet
(PL) mix over northwest Wisconsin. Ice accumulation near HYR
overnight of a quarter to four tenths of an inch are expected
with higher icing amounts at PBH. Additional light ice
accumulation is forecast after 12Z in those areas. Heavy snow is
forecast over much of northeast MN overnight through Saturday
morning. The latest high-resolution forecast models appear to
bring a dry slot into the DLH area late Saturday morning or
early Saturday afternoon while precipitation lingers at BRD,
HIB, and INL into the evening. IFR/LIFR conditions are expected
as precipitation intensity and stronger lift lowers CIGS and
VSBY. Conditions gradually improve through Saturday afternoon.
&&
.MARINE /FOR NEARSHORE WATERS OF WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR/...
Issued at 107 PM CDT Fri Apr 3 2026
Northeast winds will rapidly increase this evening as a strong
low pressure system approaches the region. A Gale Warning goes
into effect late this evening for western Lake Superior and
continues through Saturday afternoon, with wind gusts up to 40
knots and waves building to 7 to 12 feet. Winds will weaken and
shift to the west on Sunday before increasing out of the
northwest on Monday as a clipper system passes through the
region, leading to conditions likely hazardous for small craft.
