We’ve been upgraded to a Blizzard Warning! ⚠️

The latest on the Saturday-Sunday Snow Storm! ❄️

-Timing: Saturday evening through Sunday evening. The heaviest snow is expected to fall from midnight tonight through Sunday Midday, with snowfall rates up to 1-2.5" per hour at times.
-Totals: 12-15" in the Twin Cities, latest models are consistent with heaviest snowfall totals and highest QPF's across east/central MN into central WI where totals could exceed 18".
-Impacts: Heavy snow across central MN & WI. Periods of sleet and freezing rain across southern MN, extending as far north as Red Wing through New Ulm tonight. Winds up to 35mph, with gusts exceeding 50mph by Sunday evening which will results in blowing snow and white out conditions.

Long distance travel on Sunday is not advised. I would even advise you to get out and get everything done that you need to get done, today! Be prepared to hunker down tomorrow.

Heads up this AM! 🌫️

We’re waking up to ares of dense fog all across the Twin Cities metro! Visibilities are reduced down to less than 1/4 mile in some areas.

Conditions will improve throughout the morning as the surface warms, but giving yourself an extra 5-10 minutes for your morning commute isn’t a bad idea!
