While much of Minnesota has clouds Tuesday morning, and even a couple isolated spots with flurries, this will clear out through the morning. By Tuesday afternoon, all but northern Minnesota will see more sunshine. More clouds and light snow start to move into the northwestern corner of the state by Tuesday night.

Winds will also start picking up for western Minnesota late in the day. By early Wednesday morning, cold air, high winds and blowing snow could cause white-out conditions for areas near the North Dakota border.
