The week started with multiple inches of snow, but the sky isn’t done yet.
5 EYEWITNESS NEWS meteorologists say snow is likely Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and people across the state should brace for even colder weather starting mid-Thursday. Snow was falling early Tuesday morning in the Twin Cities metro area.
Tuesday, people can expect 1-2 inches before 5 p.m. and another half-inch at night. Isolated areas could receive another inch at night while temperatures drop into the 20s, Chief Meteorologist Ken Barlow says.
Wednesday and Thursday are expected to bring additional flurries before temperatures plummet for the rest of the week. Currently, the low temperatures at the end of the week are predicted as follows: 12 degrees on Thursday with wind chills nearing zero, 8 degrees on Friday, 6 degrees on Saturday and 10 degrees on Sunday.
The verdict is in: bundle up and drive safely. The State Patrol reported over 500 crashes just during peak travel times Monday on state roads.
