That big winter storm lurching through the upper midwest is going to dump a lot of snow in Wisconsin, Illinois, and the Chicago area.
The Twin Cities is going to get some snow, but WCCO chief meteorologist Paul Douglas says there's been a shift in the storm's track, and that means the snowfall amount won't be as much as anticipated.
"Do I think we're going to get 5, 6, 8 inches? No," Paul told Vineeta Sawkar on the WCCO Morning News. "Could we get a couple, could some of the eastern suburbs pick up three or four? Yeah."
All this is happening because the storm's track has been changing with every hour, pulling the reach of the storm further to the south with the metro on its northernmost fringe.
The farther south and east of the Twin Cities is going to get hammered.
Paul says all of Wisconsin, northern Illinois, and the Chicago area is expected to get snowfall amounts in the double-digits.
The snow that will fall is the fluffy, dry type, with high winds expected to create some whiteout conditions.
Those winds will also help drive the wind chill well below zero.
