MN weather: Rain turns to snow Tuesday morning

After a rainy Monday, the showers will transition back into snow on Tuesday. 

The greater Twin Cities metro area is seeing mostly rain showers on Tuesday morning, but as temperatures continue to drop, the rain transitions into snow, and we could possibly see another 2–4 inches of accumulation. A winter weather advisory is in effect for the Twin Cities metro until 4 p.m.

As the precipitation changes over, there is a slight chance for freezing rain, which could create some slick road conditions. Strong winds will move into the metro area in the afternoon hours, potentially causing blowing snow and reduced visibility for challenging travel at times.  

On Tuesday, afternoon temperatures are in the mid-20s, but blustery winds make it feel like the teens. Temperatures continue to dip overnight, with lows in the teens and wind chills below zero. The wind sticks around for Wednesday, with highs in the 20s and partly sunny skies. 

By the end of the week, temperatures start to warm up back into the 40s.
