Snow and Ice Potential Forecasts

One-two punch of winter will bring two rounds of snow, one beginning this evening into Thursday, and another, stronger system on Friday and Saturday. Read More >

Snowfall Today (Thursday)

Second Round of Snow

An upper level wave in Nebraska to start today will move north-northeast into north central Minnesota this evening. An area of snow with this system will spread north and northeast thru today and taper off and end late today or evening. Forecast snowfall is shown from 7 am Thursday to 1 am Friday....so it DOES NOT include what fell yesterday or overnight. Temperatures today will be 30 to 35 degrees and therefore during the day some melting will occur. So grassy surfaces will see the most accumulation.

Round two of snow moves through Friday into Saturday. This system will be stronger than the first round, bringing a 80 percent chance for warning level impacts from accumulating snowfall greater than 6 inches. Chance for over 12 inches is in over 40 percent for Jamestown to Bemidji. There is still uncertainty in location of snowfall - so keep an eye on the forecast, especially if you have travel plans during this time.
