Travel Impacts thru Noon Today

Sunday Snow & Blowing Snow Potential

Look for widespread fog, some locally dense, thru the morning. In addition areas of freezing drizzle is possible as well. Untreated road surfaces likely to be slick. Some improvement is anticipated for the afternoon as a front moves through and winds turn northwest.

There is a significant change to the forecast for some areas for Sunday into Sunday night. A stronger low pressure system will develop over Wisconsin giving increased moisture back thru much of Minnesota, with chances for 2 inches or more of snow 6 am Sunday to 6 am Monday over 60 percent east of the Red River. In addition, north to northwest winds will increase into the 25-30 mph range with gusts 35-40 mph within the Red River valley. If the stronger winds coincide with 2 inches of more of snow then visibilities will be greatly reduced in blowing snow, especially Sunday afternoon and night. Areas of the eastern RRV is most prone to this at this time. Uncertainty exists in regards to position of low and moisture so stay tuned for updates.
