Here’s what I’m thinking for snowfall accumulations from Monday PM-Tuesday PM. Totals shown on the map could go up or down but as of this morning this is what I’m thinking for snowfall totals in the Northland.
Probability for at least 4″ snow accumulation valid from 6 AM Monday until 6 AM Tuesday. Source, Weather Prediction Center.
Red=70% probability for at least 4″ of snow.
Green=40% probability for at least 4″ of snow.
Blue=10% probability for at least 4″ of snow.
No winter weather headlines yet in the Northland but a WINTER STORM WATCH continues for parts of Southern Minnesota including Minneapolis and St. Paul. More information at this link: http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=mpx&wwa=winter%20storm%20watch
-Temperatures around the freezing mark will make this a wet and heavy snowfall, this is especially true near Lake Superior where temperatures may actually be a degree or two above freezing while it snows.
-A period of gusty east winds in the Twin Ports most likely Monday night into Tuesday morning. Sustained wind speeds 10-20 mph with gusts possibly as high as 25 to 30 mph. Areas of blowing snow and reduced visibility due to the combination of falling and blowing snow especially from late Monday night through Tuesday.
-Timing of when the snow begins is still a little uncertain but it appears that Monday evening the snow should get going as snow spreads south to north across the Northland.
-There is a chance for some precipitation prior to Monday evening, and if precipitation occurs during that time it could be in the form of a light wintry mix from East Central Minnesota to the Twin Ports east into Northwest Wisconsin.
-Stay tuned for more updates leading up to this snow event.
