The snow will likely accumulate 1” to 3”+ in the Twin Cities by later tonight.
Expect six or more inches for areas just to the north and east of Minneapolis and St Paul.
Expect snow/slush covered roads for this afternoon’s commute.
Wind will also increase tonight, causing blowing and drifting snow and very low visibilities through the night.
By Wednesday morning’s commute the roads will be messy and the traffic will likely be very slow, but any new falling snow will be over.
Very cold weather is on the way for the rest of the week and next weekend.
