URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
659 AM CDT Mon Mar 25 2024

...SNOW CHANGING TO RAIN TONIGHT FOR MANY LOCATIONS, BUT SNOW
CONTINUES NORTH AND WEST...

.Today, warmer air will cause snow to change over to rain from
south to north. Areas in eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin
will likely change over to rain. Areas in far western Minnesota
will likely remain all snow.

On Monday night and Tuesday, colder air will move in causing a
changeover back to snow across much of the region from west to
east. A couple more inches of accumulation are possible, but the
main concern is for strong northwest winds of 30 to 40 mph to
cause blowing snow across western Minnesota. There is also a
small chance that some ice could mix in at times Monday night as
temperatures drop below freezing. The storm system will exit on
Tuesday.
