Get the latest reporting here: Rain changing to snow in Twin Cities, Duluth for Halloween

If you’re not ready for winter yet, the forecast for Halloween could be looking a bit scary for parts of Minnesota.

A winter weather advisory is in effect from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday for Duluth, Superior, Cloquet and Hinckley. A winter storm watch remains in effect for Aitkin and Two Harbors from Thursday morning through Thursday afternoon.

The National Weather Service says rain will change over to snow on Thursday, with accumulations of 2 to 4 inches possible in the advisory area. The watch area may also see a few inches of snow, though as of Wednesday afternoon there remained some uncertainty about snow totals there.

Some slushy snow is also possible in St. Cloud and the Twin Cities on Thursday as a cold front brings precipitation and falling temperatures to the region — though again, there’s uncertainty over how much snow will fall, and where.

Find forecast updates on MPR Weather’s Updraft blog.

Here’s how to keep tabs on forecasts, travel conditions and flight updates.
