URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
310 PM CST Sun Mar 4 2018

...HEAVY SNOW EXPECTED MONDAY INTO MONDAY NIGHT...

.A winter storm warning is in effect from northwest Minnesota
through southeast Minnesota and west central Wisconsin from Monday
morning through Tuesday morning. A winter weather advisory
is in effect for surrounding locations where less snow is
expected. 

Rain will change over to heavy snow Monday morning. The highest 
snow totals are expected in the Cambridge, Princeton, and Mora 
region. In addition, northeast winds gusting to 40 mph will lead
to some blowing and drifting snow. Given the possibility of high 
snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour, we anticipate very 
difficult travel across the area on Monday. At this point the 
worst travel conditions are expected Monday afternoon and evening.

There is still some uncertainty on when the precipitation will 
change to snow and when the heaviest snow will occur. It is 
possible that the Monday morning commute could also be 
significantly impacted by wintry weather, so check for forecast 
updates and plan accordingly.

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
246 AM CST Mon Mar 5 2018

...HEAVY SNOW EXPECTED TODAY AND TONIGHT...

.The winter storm warning for today and tonight has been expanded
west to now include all of west central MN. Winter weather 
advisories continue around the warning and now includes all of 
southwest and south central MN, along with Rusk, Chippewa, and Eau
Claire Counties in WI.

Snow is now falling across central MN, and we will see the rain
outside of central MN change over to snow during the morning. The
heaviest snow will be Monday afternoon and evening. In general
snow totals between 6 and 9 inches are expected across the warning
area, with the highest snowfall totals, near 12 inches, expected 
between Princeton and Little Falls in central MN. Snow totals in
the advisory are expected to between 3 and 6 inches. In addition,
northeast winds gusting to 40 mph will lead to some blowing and 
drifting snow. Given the possibility of high snowfall rates of 1 
to 2 inches per hour, we anticipate very difficult travel across 
the area on Monday. At this point the worst travel conditions are 
expected Monday afternoon and evening.

There is still some uncertainty on when the precipitation will
change to snow. An earlier transition to snow would lead to final
snow totals higher than what we currently have, while a later
change would reduce observed snowfall totals.

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
1034 AM CST Mon Mar 5 2018

...HEAVY SNOW EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...

.The winter storm warning continues for this afternoon and 
tonight for most of central and southern Minnesota and west 
central Wisconsin. Winter weather advisories continue around the 
warning and includes parts of southwest and south central MN, 
along with Rusk, Chippewa, and Eau Claire Counties in WI.

Snow is now falling across central MN. A mix of rain and isolated
thunderstorms with sleet and heavy snow is expected into south 
central MN. This wintry mix will change over to all snow by late 
afternoon. The heaviest snow will occur this afternoon and 
evening. In general snow totals between 6 and 9 inches are 
expected across the warning area, with the highest snowfall 
totals, near 12 inches, expected between Princeton and Little 
Falls in central MN. Snow totals in the advisory are expected to 
between 3 and 6 inches. In addition, northeast winds gusting to 45
mph will lead to some blowing and drifting snow. Given the 
possibility of high snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour, we 
anticipate very difficult travel across the area during the 
afternoon and continuing through the evening commute.
