Light snow is expected today, which alongside blustery winds will result in rapid drops in visibility despite only minor snow accumulation. The best chance for an inch or two of new snow will be in western Wisconsin.
Winds will be strongest in western MN, with gusts as high as 35-45mph diminishing to 25-30mph in western WI. This will result in blowing snow and reductions in visibility where snow is falling.
Temperatures dropping as blustery northwesterly winds ramp up today will result in sub zero wind chills through the weekend and into next week.
