664 WWUS43 KMPX 222201 WSWMPX URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN 401 PM CST Fri Feb 22 2019 ...SIGNIFICANT WINTER IMPACTS EXPECTED TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY... .A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect overnight through Sunday morning for portions of west central Wisconsin through southeastern Minnesota, specifically along and east of a line from Blue Earth to Faribault in Minnesota, continuing to River Falls and Bloomer in Wisconsin. Snowfall accumulations of up to around 2 inches along with up to a tenth of an inch of ice accretion can be expected through Saturday morning. A stronger system is expected for Saturday night through Sunday when accumulating snow plus blowing snow will impact travel, including blizzard conditions for much of southern and western Minnesota. A Blizzard Warning is in effect Saturday evening through Sunday afternoon south of a line from Appleton to Litchfield to Hastings, and west of the Interstate 35 corridor. This includes southern portions of the Twin Cities metro, away from more suburban areas. Within the Blizzard Warning, snow accumulations will range from 2 to 4 inches near the South Dakota border to 6 to 8 inches along Interstate 35. The snow is expected from late Saturday afternoon through the early morning hours Sunday, followed by strong winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts to near 50 mph for most of the day Sunday. This could lead to whiteout conditions, making travel very difficult or impossible in the open areas of western, central, and southern Minnesota. A Winter Storm Warning is in effect Saturday evening through Sunday afternoon east of line from from Cumberland and New Richmond in Wisconsin, continuing to Cannon Falls in Minnesota. Within the Winter Storm Warning, snow accumulations of 6 to 9 inches can be expected with localized higher amounts possible. The snow is expected Saturday evening through Sunday morning, followed by strong winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 40 mph for most of the day Sunday. This may produce areas of blowing and drifting snow, making travel difficult for portions of far southeastern Minnesota into west central Wisconsin.

Snowfall accumulations of up to around 2 inches along with up to a tenth of an inch of ice accretion can be expected through Saturday morning. A stronger system is expected for Saturday night through Sunday when accumulating snow plus blowing snow will impact travel, including blizzard conditions for much of southern and western Minnesota. A Blizzard Warning is in effect Saturday evening through Sunday afternoon for most locations in Minnesota and Wisconsin south of I-94. This includes southern portions of the Twin Cities metro, away from more suburban areas. Within the Blizzard Warning, snow accumulations will range from 1 to 3 inches in the west near the South Dakota border to 6 to 8 inches along Interstate 35 and east. The snow is expected from late Saturday afternoon through the early morning hours Sunday, followed by strong winds of 25 to 35 mph with gusts to near 50 mph for most of the day Sunday. This could lead to whiteout conditions, making travel very difficult or impossible in the open areas of western, central, and southern Minnesota, and far western Wisconsin. A Winter Storm Warning is in effect Saturday evening through Sunday afternoon for St Croix, Barron, Rusk, Chippewa, and Eau Claire counties. Within the Winter Storm Warning, snow accumulations of 6 to 9 inches can be expected with localized higher amounts possible.

This may produce areas of blowing and drifting snow, making travel difficult for portions of far southeastern Minnesota into west central Wisconsin. A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for the counties along I-94 for the potential of 1 to 4 inches of snow and very strong wind. Winds could gust as high as 40 to 45 mph which could lead to very low visibility and dangerous travel.

956 WWUS43 KMPX 232102 WSWMPX URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN 302 PM CST Sat Feb 23 2019 ...DANGEROUS WINTER STORM EXPECTED TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY... .A very strong low pressure system is expected for tonight through Sunday when accumulating snow plus significant blowing snow will impact travel, including blizzard conditions for much of southern and western Minnesota and into western WI. A Blizzard Warning is in effect Saturday evening through Sunday afternoon for most locations in Minnesota and Wisconsin along and south of I-94. This includes southern portions of the Twin Cities metro, away from more suburban areas. Within the Blizzard Warning, snow accumulations will range from less than an inch in western MN to 6 to 10 inches along Interstate 90 and into west central WI, primarily south and east of the Twin Cities. The snow is expected from late Saturday afternoon through the early morning hours Sunday, followed by strong winds of 30 to 40 mph with gusts to near 50 mph for most of the day Sunday. This will lead to whiteout conditions, making travel very difficult and likely impossible in the open areas of western, central, and southern Minnesota, and far western Wisconsin. A Winter Storm Warning is in effect Saturday evening through Sunday afternoon for St Croix, Barron, Rusk, Chippewa, and Eau Claire counties. Within the Winter Storm Warning, snow accumulations of 6 to 12 inches can be expected with localized higher amounts possible, especially in the Eau Claire area. The snow is expected Saturday evening through Sunday morning, followed by strong winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts to 40 mph for most of the day Sunday. This may produce areas of blowing and drifting snow, making travel difficult for portions of far southeastern Minnesota into west central Wisconsin. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for the counties along and north of I-94 for the potential of 1 to 3 inches of snow and very strong wind. Winds could gust as high as 40 to 45 mph which could lead to very low visibility, blowing and drifting snow, and dangerous travel.
