As low-pressure systems go, this one is weak to moderate in strength. The heaviest snowfall potential favors the Red River Valley and west-central Minnesota towns like Ada, Park Rapids, and Detroit Lakes. That’s the zone that will likely see 1 to 3 inches, with a score of 3 to 6 inches possible.
The system will produce lighter snowfall totals across parts of east-central Minnesota. Look for a general 1 to 3-inch snowfall zone from near Brainerd through the Iron Range, Duluth and Hinckley.
The Twin Cities could pick up a light snowy dusting Wednesday morning. Snowfall totals will be less than an inch in most areas.
