What is certain
- Enough snow to shovel some
- Moisture was concentrated from I-94 south
- The buildup will be melty, not fluffy
What is uncertain
- Where a narrow group of dense snow forms
- Amount of dissolving and mixing (if applicable)
- Road conditions (warmth vs. treatment)
Minneapolis – A fast-moving storm will bring a wintry mix on Wednesday that turns to snow.
The highest temperature expected in the Twin Cities is 41 degrees. A winter weather advisory is in effect from 3 p.m. Wednesday until 3 a.m. Thursday.
Metro can expect 1 to 3 inches, with up to 4 inches possible in some southern areas.
Snow chances increase in central and southern Minnesota. There is a narrow swath of snow with lower totals near the metro and higher totals in a county or two further south. There will be heavier sets embedded in this snowstorm.
This storm has moved up a bit north, and some areas south of I-90 may get rain.
It should all be gone by Thursday, with temperatures remaining in the 30s. Friday will be a cooler day with highs in the lower 20s.
The weekend will begin to gradually warm, with temperatures reaching the 40s early next week.
