Snow falling in Wisconsin/Minnesota

The cold front, and snow that is coming with it, has crossed over into Wisconsin early this morning. Snow has been reported across parts of Minnesota, leaving a nice little dusting on any cars or trucks that were left outside. Below is a radar image from 3:17am on Saturday morning. You can see the line of snow, as well as the approx. position of the cold front. The line of snow should continue to move off to the east through the late night/early morning hours.



Stronger storm system still on track for Sunday into Monday, but there are still uncertainties as to how this system will evolve. In fact, there will probably still be a lot of unknowns right up until the storm actually gets here. Below is the latest update from the HPC in regards to the probability of seeing at least 4 inches of snow from the system.



Also, according to the National Weather Service office in Chanhassen, some 2-4 inch amounts are possible with this system. Models are beginning to align, but aren't all on the same page quite yet. Below is a map of their first estimates on how much snow will fall. These are very early predictions, and will likely change, and hopefully they will be narrowed down even more as time goes on.
