...TRAVEL THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT COULD BE
IMPOSSIBLE AND LIFE-THREATENING...

.Winds will be relatively light through this evening. There

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 Blizzard Warning goes into effect Thursday afternoon and 
evening in areas west of the Mississippi River, with a Winter 
Storm Warning east of the river through Friday night.

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
1139 AM CST Thu Dec 22 2022

...GROUND BLIZZARD AND DANGEROUSLY COLD CONDITIONS THURSDAY AND 
FRIDAY...
...TRAVEL THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING COULD BE 
IMPOSSIBLE AND LIFE-THREATENING...

.Other than light flurries, snow has ended across the area. The
main concern transitions to blowing snow which has already picked
up in western Minnesota, eventually spreading over to all portions
of the coverage area by Friday morning. In addition, arctic air 
with dangerously cold wind chills will spread across the region. 
This event could be life- threatening if you are stranded with 
wind chills in the 30 below to 45 below zero range. Please avoid 
traveling. 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 Blizzard Warning goes into effect Thursday afternoon and
evening in areas west of the Mississippi River, and in portions of
western Wisconsin beginning Friday morning as winds increase.

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
621 PM CST Thu Dec 22 2022

...GROUND BLIZZARD AND DANGEROUSLY COLD CONDITIONS THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY... 
...TRAVEL THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING COULD BE 
IMPOSSIBLE AND LIFE-THREATENING...

.Other than light flurries, snow has ended across the area. The
main concern transitions to blowing snow which has already picked
up in western Minnesota, eventually spreading over to all
portions of the coverage area by Friday morning. In addition,
arctic air with dangerously cold wind chills will spread across
the region. This event could be life- threatening if you are
stranded with wind chills in the 30 below to 45 below zero range.
Please avoid traveling. 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 Blizzard Warning goes into effect Thursday afternoon and
evening in areas west of the Mississippi River, and in portions
of western Wisconsin beginning Friday morning as winds increase.

...GROUND BLIZZARD AND DANGEROUSLY COLD CONDITIONS CONTINUES 
THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING FROM WEST CENTRAL INTO SOUTH CENTRAL 
MINNESOTA... 
...TRAVEL TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING COULD BE IMPOSSIBLE AND

KEY MESSAGES: OVERALL SYSTEM REMAINS ON TRACK

- TODAY AND TONIGHT, part 1 of this system will bring 5 to 9 inches
of light fluffy snow across the region, with the highest amounts
just north and west of the Twin Cities, into western Wisconsin. A
Winter Storm Warning is in effect area wide.

- LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY THURSDAY, a break will follow, but then
part 2 of the system kicks in as northwest winds increase Thursday
afternoon through Friday night with widespread blowing snow.

- THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT, Confidence remains in
blizzard conditions for much of southern and western Minnesota
Thursday afternoon through Friday night. Wind strength in areas
along and north of I-94 remains a bit more uncertain and it ramps up
a little later Thursday, so continued wit the Winter Storm Watch.

- IMPORTANT CHANGES, The wind forecast has decreased a bit for
Thursday into Friday night. The reason is the rapid intensification
of the surface low across the Great Lakes is a bit slower and
farther east, so the pressure gradient is less over the Midwest. As
a result, the potential for gusts greater than 50 mph has decreased,
but we still expect a long duration with at least 40 mph wind gusts.

TODAY AND TONIGHT...Not much change from the previous
forecast. An upper level wave across the Dakotas will move east
today, and warm air advection will spread out ahead of it brining
increasing clouds and snow across the region. Forecast soundings
continue to show a deep dendritic growth zone, so this snow will be
light and fluffy, with snow ratios of 20 to 25:1 expected, possibly
higher. Overall snowfall amounts are similar to the previous
forecast, with 5 to 9 inches across central MN into west central
Wisconsin, tapering off to 3 to 5 down near I-90. Winds will be light
with this snow, generally starting out of the east, and switching to
the northwest toward evening as the snow ends. The Winter Storm
Warning is in effect for this snowfall.

THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT...The one noteworthy change is a
slight decrease (5 to 10 mph) in the wind forecast. As mentioned
above, this is due to the delayed onset of rapid intensification of
the surface low, combined with a slightly weaker high pressure system
to the west, and also the fact the strongest cold air advection is
focused to the south of the forecast area. This last point is
probably why the forecast soundings are a bit jumpy with the wind
gusts, meaning there's a few hours where they don't mix down the
gusts, which lowers the potential for +50 mph winds. If this system
does intensify more quickly and farther east, then the wind forecast
will increase. For now, we expect a long duration, Thursday night
through Friday night, with gusts in that 30 to 40 mph range, with a
few windows for gusts to be 40 to 50 mph.

In summary, we still expect blizzard conditions. Especially
considering how much light and fluffy snow is already sitting out
their. For added context, earlier, it was looking like this event
could have similar impacts to February 23/24 2019, which closed I-94
for over two days. That was a historic blizzard, with a much deeper
snow pack, and higher snow banks. However, this system will have a
long duration of strong winds, just not as high as that event. This
system also has several inches of fluffy snow to blow around. Given
that, it is possible that the Winter Storm Watch that is still in
effect east of the Blizzard Warning could be converted to a Blizzard
Warning. We just wanted to wait and see what the 12Z guidance shows,
in case this trend of lower winds continues. But as things stand
right now, widespread 40 mph gusts, with areas of 40 to 50 mph, are
still forecast.

SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...Winds will decrease on Saturday, but it
will still be very cold. Lows Saturday night will be -10 to -20
below as surface high pressure settles overhead. The lull in the
weather won't last long, as another clipper system brings snow
chances again on Sunday, with the highest probability across
southwest Minnesota, and lesser chances in western Wisconsin. This
too will be a colder, fluffy snow, but the northwest winds that
follow it are only around 10 to 20 mph. Looking ahead, there is a
glimmer of hope with above normal temperatures favored at the end of
December into the New Year.

will be around a half inch per hour. Winds will be light, but become
northwest and increase overnight. Expect visibility to decrease on
Thursday as winds increase.

KMSP...
Snow will begin later this morning, but the lowest visbys may end up
just to the north of KMSP. Snow will continue through most of the
day, but become lighter this evening with a brief period of VFR
conditions possible overnight before winds increase on Thursday.
