Mix changes to all snow this evening, with 3″-5″ possible by late tonight for the metro and advisory area

WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY in effect now until midnight for the Twin Cities, much of central/southern Minnesota into western Wisconsin.

While most of the accumulating snowfall tonight will fall now through midnight when the Winter Weather Advisory in place, some light snowfall is still possible through about 3 AM, especially across the east and south metro into southeastern Minnesota and Wisconsin. Most of the Twin Cities and counties under the Winter Weather Advisory could see 3″ to 5″ of snowfall. The lower end of this range is more likely across the north metro, towards northern parts of Hennepin/Anoka/Washington counties.

A few slick spots could still linger into the Thursday morning commute, even though the snowfall will have ended. Temperatures tomorrow are colder in the low-20s with breezy northwesterly winds. We’ll see some sunshine tomorrow, then cloud over again tomorrow night with light snow possible Thursday night into Friday morning with the passing of another cold front. Accumulating snowfall Thursday overnight is more likely across southern Minnesota. Friday is also chilly and breezy, but we warm up to above average temperatures again by the weekend, and especially mild next week.

Have a wonderful night and drive safely! The snowfall we see tonight, will likely be the most the Twin Cities has seen since Halloween (that is if we see an inch or more even)!
