Light snow
Light snow has been falling since early Wednesday across southeast Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Freezing rain fell before that in some areas.
NOAA’s North American Mesoscale Forecast System 3 km model paints areas of light snow across Wisconsin and Minnesota through Thursday. We may see some flakes in the Twin Cities, but little accumulation is expected.
Temperatures remain mild through most of next week.
