Friday, most of central and northern Minnesota, along with western Wisconsin, is under a Winter Storm Warning. A Winter Storm Warning means snow is imminent, and the models are in good agreement: a 6-10 inch pile of powder is likely, with a foot for many communities by Saturday evening. The snow is expected to start around noon in the Twin Cities as it moves up from the southwest.
We've been hearing all week about this latest snowstorm that has the Twin Cities in its crosshairs. Totals have been in the 6-10 inch range most of the week, and there were rumblings of up to a foot or more of powder. There still could be areas with that much snow, but 6-8 is looking more likely after the National Weather Service dialed back amounts just slightly last night.
As for those of you flying out of MSP, WCCO Radio reported Friday morning that most airlines are allowing you to adjust your flights without any fees due to the forecast. It's recommended you check with your specific airline on flight status all weekend with significant weather issues not just here, but across most of the Midwest.
