Snow in Twin Cities on Thursday
What to expect: The morning may already accumulate around 1–3 inches of snow with lighter accumulations expected in the afternoon. The bulk of the swath of snow will fall near and along the I-94 corridor.
A southeast breeze will create some reduced visibility in open areas for some. While this may not be the main concern, it will create tougher and trickier travel for Thursday.
What’s next: Snow tapers off rather quickly on Thursday evening with cold air sliding in to close out the week. Temperatures will only make it into the teens on both Friday and Saturday.
We start to climb out of this quick cold snap on Sunday with mild weather setting in by Monday and potentially lasting a large chunk of next week.
