Updraft® - Minnesota Weather News

Breezy and chilly Sunday

Winds will taper off this afternoon

The official Saturday snow total was 1.2 inches at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. Higher snow totals were seen in parts of central and northern Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Many observers will be taking snow measurements this morning. The NWS will plot new snow reports here.

Accumulating snow has moved out of Minnesota for the most part. There could be scattered light snow showers in far southeastern Minnesota this morning, with just a stray flurry possible elsewhere in Minnesota.
