Severe Weather and Winter Storm Planning Reminders

Scattered storms are expected to develop Sunday afternoon ahead of a strengthening surface low and attendant cold front, as they move through the region. Damaging winds and a few tornadoes will be possible.

A strong winter storm is forecast to impact the Upper Midwest from Saturday night through Monday morning, bringing rain initially, accumulating snow Sunday night, and strong winds/blowing snow, and plunging temperatures. Near-blizzard conditions are possible, and a Winter Storm Watch remains in effect for areas along and north of Interstate 80. Make sure to monitor the forecast for updates!

Here are the chances of 2+" and 6+" of snow for the upcoming winter storm. Accurately measuring the snow will be difficult due to the blowing snow aspect, but there is high potential (70-90%) of at least a few inches of snow.

With severe weather possible Sunday afternoon and snow/blowing snow Sunday night into Monday, here are some planning reminders.
