...TRAVEL THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT COULD BE

.Snow will overspread the region Wednesday and bring 5 to 8 inches
of fluffy accumulation through Wednesday night. Winds will be 
relatively light Wednesday and Wednesday evening. There should be 
a break in severe winter conditions late Wednesday night and early
Thursday. Then, strong northwest winds gusting as high as 50 mph 
and dangerously cold air will surge in Thursday afternoon through 
Friday night. Whiteout conditions are expected during that time 
with travel becoming very difficult or impossible. This event 
could be life-threatening if you are stranded with wind chills in
the 30 below to 45 below zero range. Travel plans for late this 
week should be adjusted now. In addition, heavy snow remaining on 
trees from the last storm and strong winds arriving could result 
in tree damage and power outages as temperatures drop below zero.

A Winter Storm Warning is in effect Wednesday and Wednesday
evening. Then, a Blizzard Warning goes into effect Thursday across
southern and western Minnesota, with the Winter Storm Watch
continuing north and east where wind and blowing snow will begin
a bit later.
