Snow and Ice Potential Forecasts

One-two punch of winter will bring two rounds of snow, one beginning this evening into Thursday, and another, stronger system on Friday and Saturday. Read More >

The first of two rounds of accumulating snow begins this evening, continuing into Thursday night. Generally 3 to 6 inches of accumulation will bring advisory level impacts, currently forecast along and south of Highway 200 corridor, and into north-central Minnesota. Relatively warm temperatures and lighter winds will help limit and/or create variable impacts to travel conditions.
Round two of snow moves through Friday into Saturday. This system will be stronger than the first round, bringing a 80 percent chance for warning level impacts from accumulating snowfall greater than 6 inches. There is still uncertainty in location of snowfall - so keep an eye on the forecast, especially if you have travel plans during this time.
