URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
219 PM CST Tue Feb 11 2020

...BLIZZARD CONDITIONS EXPECTED...

.A Blizzard Warning has been issued for portions of west central
and southwest Minnesota starting 6 am Wednesday morning, and
continues through the afternoon. A Winter Storm Watch with 
blizzard conditions possible surround the blizzard warning in 
west central, southwest and south central Minnesota for the same 
time period. 

Confidence has increased that portions of west central and 
southwest Minnesota, mainly west of a Morris to Redwood Falls to 
St. James line, will have blizzard conditions developing behind a 
strong Arctic front on Wednesday. The combination of strong gusty 
winds and whiteout conditions will lead to blizzard conditions 
for several hours. Confidence is lower on wind speeds farther to 
the east and thus a Winter Storm Watch has been issued. 

In addition to the blizzard conditions, temperatures will drop 
off sharply behind the Arctic front. Wind chill values will drop 
below -30 by the afternoon in west central Minnesota, with wind 
chills likely dropping below -35 by the evening. Outside the 
warning and watch area, significant blowing and drifting snow is 
likely, with locally one to two inches of snow by the afternoon. 
Other areas of Minnesota will have similar temperature dropping
behind the Arctic front, with wind chill values likely in the 
-10 to -20 range by the late afternoon in central, and southern
 Minnesota.

...BLIZZARD CONDITIONS EXPECTED IN WESTERN MINNESOTA WEDNESDAY...
...DANGEROUS WIND CHILLS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH
THURSDAY MORNING...

.A Blizzard Warning remains in effect for portions of west
central and southwest Minnesota starting 6 am Wednesday morning,
and continues through the afternoon. A Winter Storm Watch with
possible blizzard conditions surrounds the blizzard warning in 
west central, southwest and south central Minnesota for the same 
time period. Wind Chill Warnings remain in effect for west 
central through southwestern Minnesota, with Wind Chill Advisories
in place for east central Minnesota, portions of southeast 
Minnesota and far western Wisconsin for Wednesday night into 
Thursday morning.

Confidence has increased that portions of west central and
southwest Minnesota, mainly west of a Morris to Redwood Falls to
St. James line, will have blizzard conditions developing behind a
strong Arctic front on Wednesday. The combination of strong gusty
winds and whiteout conditions will lead to blizzard conditions
for several hours. Confidence is lower on wind speeds farther to
the east and thus a Winter Storm Watch has been issued.

Outside the warning and watch area, significant blowing and
drifting snow is likely, with locally one to two inches of snow
by the afternoon.

In addition to the blizzard conditions, temperatures will drop
off sharply behind the Arctic front. Wind chill values will drop
30 degrees below zero by the afternoon in west central Minnesota,
with wind chills likely dropping to 35 degrees below zero by the
evening, persisting through Thursday morning. In eastern
Minnesota into western Wisconsin, wind chills will drop to
between 25 and 35 degrees below zero late Wednesday night through
Thursday morning. Outside the warning and watch area, significant
blowing and drifting snow is likely, with locally one to two
inches of snow by the afternoon.

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
430 AM CST Wed Feb 12 2020

...BLIZZARD CONDITIONS EXPECTED IN WESTERN MINNESOTA TODAY... 
...DANGEROUS WIND CHILLS EXPECTED THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY 
MORNING...

.A Blizzard Warning remains in effect for portions of west
central and southwest Minnesota starting this morning, and 
continuing through the afternoon. A Winter Weather Advisory has
been issued east of the Blizzard Warning for blowing snow and
possible near-blizzard conditions at times, as well as the 
potential for flash freezing roadways and surfaces as temperatures
plummet this afternoon behind an Arctic front. Wind Chill 
Warnings remain in effect for west central through southwestern 
Minnesota, and have been extended farther east into central and
south-central Minnesota. Wind Chill Advisories remain in place 
for east central Minnesota, southeast Minnesota and west-central
Wisconsin Wednesday night into Thursday morning.

Confidence remains high based on upstream observations that 
blizzard conditions will develop this morning and afternoon 
across portions of west central and southwest Minnesota, mainly 
west of a Morris to Redwood Falls to St. James line. East of the 
blizzard warning, winds will be lighter and visibilities are not 
expected to drop to blizzard criteria, but areas of blowing snow 
and periods of near- blizzard conditions remain possible possible 
during a few hours of light snow later this morning and afternoon.
Plummeting temperatures this afternoon and evening may lead to 
flash freezing of this light snow on roadways and surfaces, with 
impacts to the evening commute expected.

In addition to the blizzard conditions, temperatures will drop
off sharply behind the Arctic front. Wind chill values will drop
to 25 to 30 degrees below zero by this afternoon in west central 
Minnesota, with wind chills of 35 to 40 degrees below zero likely by
the evening. These dangerous wind chills will continue into mid-
morning Thursday. In eastern Minnesota into western Wisconsin, 
wind chills will drop to between 25 and 35 degrees below zero late
Wednesday night through Thursday morning.

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
943 AM CST Wed Feb 12 2020

...BLIZZARD CONDITIONS EXPECTED IN WESTERN MINNESOTA TODAY... ...
DANGEROUS WIND CHILLS EXPECTED THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY
MORNING...

.A Blizzard Warning remains in effect for portions of west
central and southwest Minnesota starting this morning, and
continuing through the afternoon. A Winter Weather Advisory
continues east of the Blizzard Warning for blowing snow and 
possible near- blizzard conditions at times, as well as the 
potential for flash freezing roadways and surfaces as temperatures
plummet this afternoon behind an Arctic front. Wind Chill 
Warnings remain in effect for west central through southwestern 
Minnesota, and have been extended farther east into central and 
south-central Minnesota. Wind Chill Advisories remain in place for
east central Minnesota, southeast Minnesota and west- central 
Wisconsin Wednesday night into Thursday morning.

Confidence remains high based on upstream observations that
blizzard conditions will develop this morning and afternoon
across portions of west central and southwest Minnesota, mainly
west of a Morris to Redwood Falls to St. James line. East of the
blizzard warning, winds will be lighter and visibilities are not
expected to drop to blizzard criteria, but areas of blowing snow
and periods of near- blizzard conditions remain possible during a
few hours of light snow later this morning and afternoon. 
Plummeting temperatures this afternoon and evening may lead to 
flash freezing of this light snow on roadways and surfaces, with 
impacts to the evening commute expected.

In addition to the blizzard conditions, temperatures will drop
off sharply behind the Arctic front. Wind chill values will drop
to 25 to 30 degrees below zero by this afternoon in west central
Minnesota, with wind chills of 35 to 40 degrees below zero likely
by the evening. These dangerous wind chills will continue into
mid- morning Thursday. In eastern Minnesota into western
Wisconsin, wind chills will drop to between 25 and 35 degrees
below zero late Wednesday night through Thursday morning.
