A complex mosaic of warnings goes into effect starting Wednesday. Snow, wind, and subzero wind chills will cause dangerous travel conditions Wednesday through Friday.
Tuesday will be the cold, calm before the storm. Temperature will average about 20 degrees below normal. Snow develops Wednesday with significant accumulation and high winds developing by Thursday and Friday along with extreme cold.
The storm is poised to bring snow, wind and possibly blizzard conditions to much of Minnesota later this week — just in time to mess with holiday travel plans.
Utilities warn some households will likely lose power again over the next couple weeks as more trees weighed down by the heavy snow bend or break over power lines.
Snow showers develop and fill in Monday afternoon for much of Minnesota into overnight. Tuesday will be colder with wind chills ranging from 10 below zero east to 30 below zero west. More snow develops Wednesday.
Monday will be another chilly day with highs in the teens and single digits. Snow showers develop Monday afternoon into the overnight Monday night. Wednesday and Thursday brings another, potentially more significant snowfall for southern Minnesota.
