Winter Weather Advisory for parts of the Twin Cities metro

Here’s your Tuesday evening forecast for February 13, 2024 from Minnesota’s Weather Authority and Meteorologist Wren Clair.

A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for much of southern Minnesota Wednesday evening through Thursday morning. This does include Scott and Dakota County in the Twin Cities metro.

Good evening! Scattered light snow showers are possible overnight, but that is more likely across northern Minnesota. Tomorrow’s highs are warmer, back into the low-40s across the metro, with a rain/snow mix possible tomorrow, mainly by the afternoon. The mix transitions to snow Wednesday evening and this could slow down the evening commute if we end up with more snow than the mix during the commute. However, I expect most of us only have wet roadways during the Wednesday evening commute. Also most of the light accumulating snowfall is Wednesday night past the evening commute into the overnight hours.

The Thursday morning commute could be a bit slower due to the overnight snowfall that brings up to two inches of snow north of I-94 and closer to 2″ to 5″ across the south metro (the high end of this range is much more likely toward Dakota/Scott counties and much of southern Minnesota where the Winter Weather Advisory is in place.

You’ll want to stay up to speed with the forecast tomorrow as well, as this narrow band of accumulating snowfall could still shift slightly by tomorrow night. Temperatures late this workweek are cooler, but seasonably snow with highs in the 20s Friday.

Have a wonderful night!
