(KNSI) – The National Weather Service has canceled the winter storm warning posted for central Minnesota and has downgraded it to a winter weather advisory. The advisory will expire at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday.
(KNSI) — The National Weather Service says the winter storm warning posted for central Minnesota will continue until 7:00 Tuesday morning.
Forecasters say steady snow will fall across western and central Minnesota, while mostly rain is expected elsewhere. Temps are forecast to rise above freezing Monday during the day, causing that snow to change to rain or a sloppy rain/snow mix in some areas.
Monday night and Tuesday, colder air will move in, causing a changeover again to all snow across much of the region. Ice mixing in at times on Monday night is also possible. Wet roads may become slick, so drivers are encouraged to take it easy or stay home if possible.
An additional 2″ to 5″ of snow is expected through 7:00 a.m. Tuesday.
Another main concern will be strong northwest winds of 30 to 40 miles an hour, causing blowing snow in more open areas in central and western Minnesota before the system moves out on Tuesday morning.
