The National Weather Service Duluth took to Twitter on Sunday morning to debunk the rumors that a massive snowstorm would hit Minnesota and the upper midwest this week.
"We've seen a lot going around about a "massive snowstorm!" late this work week, so we thought it might be worth sitting down and chatting about winter-time storms and forecasting," NWS Duluth said in their tweet.

NWS Duluth explained that forecasts that are a week out are estimates. It added that four to seven days out, the data is limited.
While numerous projection models are used to determine the weather, they are still predictions and carry a wide range of possible conditions.
The NWS added that the data shows tons of variability for this week's system, with some parts of the state being ideal for a snowstorm and others not.
Overall the NWS shared that as of right now, it is not known whether or not the precipitation seen this week will be a big storm or not.
"The answer that we glean from all this?" NWS Duluth tweeted. "There is a ton of variability left for this week's system. It will most likely precipitate, but how much, what kind of precipitation it will be, and where the axis of heaviest accumulation will be is still very up in the air."
