Much of the upper Midwest has been seeing exceptional rain and snow levels this winter. MPR Chief Meteorologist Paul Huttner talks with Cathy Wurzer about snow totals and temperature records this season. And on the first day of meteorological spring, Huttner has a detailed forecast and a spring flood update.
Snow fell much of the overnight and will continue on and off across central Minnesota. Temperatures will be slightly cooler Thursday before warming back up Friday. We’ll finally see a few days of dry weather from Thursday into Saturday.
Look for a couple of bands of intermittent snow overnight, with the possibility of a pretty good snow burst hitting the Twin Cities area around the morning rush hours. The steadier, heavier snow favors central Minnesota.
Sunshine Tuesday morning will be replaced by cloud cover and snow showers by late Tuesday into Wednesday. We’re then briefly cooler Thursday before warming back up. We’ll see several days of drier and calmer weather after Wednesday.
St. Paul offers snow emergency alerts in four foreign languages. Minneapolis sends texts in English, with a link to a website that provides a helpline and abbreviated information in three languages.
