...Accumulating Snow Tonight...
.A quick-hitting band of snow moves through the region tonight
and exits before sunrise on Thursday. Widespread snow
accumulations of 1 to 2 inches are expected with two embedded
corridors of higher snow totals where amounts could push 3 to 4
inches. The northern corridor is expected to run from roughly
Mankato, MN northeast to near Wausau, WI while the second band
develops along or just south of Interstate 90 in far southeast
Minnesota and southwest Wisconsin. However, there is uncertainty
in where these two bands exactly set up, which will impact
forecast snow amounts. This snow could lead to slippery travel
overnight and possibly for the Thursday morning commute on any
untreated roads.
